[3] at the start of the tournament the total prize money P in the pool is
assigned to N performance tiers, where N is the Number of attendees. at the
top, the highest performing athlete will receive 200% of P while the lowest
performing performance tier will be 0%. It is a non-discrete and gradual
linear transition.

[2] players who played better should be compensated to a higher degree. no
more than +/- 50-100% or so - this encourages players to "play their best"
while also keeping the stakes relatively similar.

[0] Here's an idea, an online multiplayer game that charges a 4$ per month
subscription. 90% of which is set into a pool and used as tournament prize
winnings. when you enter a tournament, it's free to participate and everyone
wins something. (maybe calculated by percentile or something?) it's just a
question of how much. [1][2][3][4]

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
"increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

That's why it's important not to use your hands as a toy, because your hands

65% is more addictive, just ask any designer for multiplayer games. Well... 65

have to win if you want to keep their attention. If they win more than that,

running) which is then "spent" on exciting and friendly competition. Sorta
like... entering a poker tournament with your friends (even though you suspect
you might lose money) just because you like hanging out and playing cards. the
money is just a neat way to keep things moving and exciting.
* official just means "run by the company" because naturally the serverside
code should be open source. how else would people build on it?

we should tie the global amount of money to the amount of energy in the world
meaning when we use solar panels or burn fossil fuels it adds to the count
wait no burning fossil fuels spends these "energy credits" into nothing
while building solar panels produces energy credits that go back into the pool
locally concentrated, of course, meaning the biggest producers have access to
the biggest amount
and if you don't care about energy then you don't need to have any. just the
way

[0] Here's an idea, an online multiplayer game that charges a 4$ per month
subscription. 90% of which is set into a pool and used as tournament prize
winnings. when you enter a tournament, it's free to participate and everyone
wins something. (maybe calculated by percentile or something?) it's just a
question of how much. [1][2][3][4]
- official just means "run by the company" because naturally the serverside
code should be open source. how else would people build on it?
[1] in this way you'd sorta be giving a loan to the game's company (while also
letting them take a 10% courtesy fee for keeping the official* servers
running) which is then "spent" on exciting and friendly competition. Sorta
like... entering a poker tournament with your friends (even though you suspect
you might lose money) just because you like hanging out and playing cards. the
money is just a neat way to keep things moving and exciting.
[2] players who played better should be compensated to a higher degree. no
more than +/- 50-100% or so - this encourages players to "play their best"
while also keeping the stakes relatively similar.
[3] at the start of the tournament the total prize money P in the pool is
assigned to N performance tiers, where N is the Number of attendees. at the
top, the highest performing athlete will receive 200% of P while the lowest
performing performance tier will be 0%. It is a non-discrete and gradual
linear transition.
CW: scary-politics-existential-peril
[4] poor guy at the bottom of the stack. ah oh well, at least he's the only
one. kinda makes me wonder if in some secret government lab there's like, a
secret compound where they keep "the most miserable people in the land" and
they just like... do horrible shit to them in order to increase the magnitude
of their country's suffering. which, they believe, will increase the opposite
of suffering as well, as you cannot bounce in a vacuum. sure would be
terrible. I mean, we've sorta decentralized that. most of us go into work
every day and that's often a difficult experience - not exactly miserable, but
just like... not what we'd be wanting to be doing. hmmmmm did the founding

one of the downsides of "first-past-the-post" style voting is that the winner
gets all of the power, no matter if 100% of the population voted for him or
51%.
if, however, the top 2 candidates were chosen, then it's naturally likely that
the older, more experienced of a particular position would spend their effort
mentoring the young, rising star.
in doing so, they would naturally transfer knowledge from one generation to
the next like parents to children.
however, this only happens when the primary candidate and the secondary both
believe the same things.
meaning those who have collectively similar beliefs concentrated in an area
will have the advantage of passed-along experience, while those from more
divided areas (thus implying that the primary and secondary candidate don't
agree) will often have better actionable skills.

Why wouldn't 1/0 be zero? Division is just inverse-multiplication, and

Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science
doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a
conspiracy theorist.
or it means you're so remarkably ignorant that you shouldn't even be in the
room where people are talking about this.
Unless your questions are very basic. "can someone explain to me what XYZ term
means?" or "how long has this particular application method been in common
use?" that kind of thing. Even still, either do some basic research or
relinquish your decision making power until you understand.

Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
that run() uses to call a function
At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

In Symbeline, you determine the bounty price for various crimes that mordaunts

commit crimes against neighboring nations the same way. In this way you do not
have direct control, but rather can build out a simulation and tweak it

@user-195 parallel is when two programs run simultaneously, like two parallel
lines (threads) that never touch.
concurrent is when the two lines are split up into chunks and the program
switches between them - like this: -----_----
enter alternate universe
parallel is when two programs operate on the same axis - usually time - and
never interfere with each other. the OS will switch between them as
appropriate to make sure they never intersect. Sorta like this: -----_----
concurrent is when two programs are executed simultaneously, primarily
constituting computation correlated with collective contents of coordinated
collaboration between contextually related coroutines.
It's simple, even a beginner could figure it out.

Dear [company I used to work at],
I can completely automate 80% of your corporate structure. And with only a 10%
error rate, meaning nine-times out of ten the answer will be correct.
We check for errors, obviously, but you know sometimes with only 90 out of 100
examples it's not always possible to identify the correct conclusion.
Ah, if only we could fabricate such training-data-conclusions, we might learn
thousands of lessons in one hop.
if you want to destroy the world, make sure your plans can take effect in more
than a single rotation-of-the-ancients. Otherwise your opposition can start to
plan to outmaneuver you. And a lot can happen in a year to the
[unsuspecting/unworthy].

"oh but what if one artist has 1500 works and another has 15"
first of all, damn, good job. That's a lot of work.
second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a
STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about
how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data
points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of
compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or
using their style as an inspiration.
"oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the
first piece used the second piece as inspiration"
I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's
problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone
else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or
beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that.

In games, the one who takes the initiative often wins. Because games are
designed to be symmetrical, in order to be fair.
In more complex games, Paradox games for example, games where you look at maps
or otherwise have unequal starting conditions simply due to the unique nature
of each team, the initiative, while an advantage, is not necessarily the
driving force that determines who wins.
But it is an advantage, and they say that sometimes weeks happen in months and

you can't start a game of chess with a checkmate. you're not wrong on the

were made to be true.
I find the best strategies are the ones that rely the least on externalities

Lay out all the data structures
Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,

Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job

This year, 2026, is 250 years after 1776, when the country was founded. It's
only January, and I already want to explode something.

Why would we say not to divide by zero? We literally do it every time we use
the percent sign smh [silly]

if you lose someone on the Fediverse then there's a zero percent chance you'll
ever find them again.

rich people should only exist when they care for the things they own and
accumulate wealth through a lifetime of restrained consumption and temperance.
like, if we actually rewarded the 7 virtues instead of optimizing for ruthless
profit extraction.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

UX idea: text is rapidly revealed (rate configurable) letter by letter and
upon reaching the bottom of the page it starts over at the beginning,
overwriting what was there in a different color to show that they're separate.
For colorblind accessibility it might switch between white background black
text, and black background white text. Again, user configurable, colors are
cool too.
If the user pushes the spacebar it pauses until they resume it, and it goes a
bit slower. If they catch up to it they can double spacebar to make it go
faster!
