Where in ET is DST ignored? Indiana used to be split on the issue, but my understanding is that they now follow DST, leaving only Arizona and Hawaii without regular time changes.

It's not outside Jason Rohrer's style for this to be... guided output, but it's also not outside his style for this to be the creepiest fully autonomous bot I've ever seen.

That's a great idea. It's also what Tally does.

I love the aesthetics. The cryptographic strength tradeoffs (against UUIDv7) seem rough for a lot of applications, though.

They have three other approaches that they're considering as well. (Check the About page on TFA.)

In all three cases, they own hardware (Apple in a slightly different sense) that they'd love for you to pay to run your favorite models on, open or closed.

A game like Rogue.

Slightly less obtusely, it usually was a procedurally generated dungeon-crawler with potions and scrolls and varied weapons to use against varied mobs. When you died, you were dead. Your character began each time with no knowledge and had to learn what a "cloudy red potion" happens to be this time around by drinking it or using an identify scroll.

Pizza Hutt is Jabba The's cousin. Pizza Hut is the restaurant chain to which you refer.

I'm sure MySpace thought the same thing about their never-before-seen accomplishments. I suspect very few people knew what "something else" was in that case, either.

ChatGPT's threat to Google isn't that Google can't match it--it's that it changes the approach to search results from displaying lists of results where it's "natural" to insert sponsored listings to a more conversational approach where ad opportunities will be rarer (or at least entirely different).

If users prefer the newer, interactive approach to exploring search results, Google's long-standing business model will require a significant update.

This has caused me to realize that I need to replace my old model of vi:

> command mode has primacy; insert mode is a time-bounded special case

with:

> insert mode is every other mundane editor; use the Esc key to enter the matrix (i.e. command mode)

By definition, each program only produces the digits of one number. It's okay for more than one program to produce the same number. Am I misunderstanding your point?

I _do_ work at Microsoft, and judging by the recent crop of promotions (early September) there was still plenty of opportunity for white males (and everyone else).
