@Duhmeee @RabidW00kie @kekoa_keawe @MrWallace7 @justalexoki I dont think you understand what strictly dominant means, in game theory. It doesnt mean "would win sometimes"

The game theory is clear, red is strictly dominant. You survive no matter what. A perfectly rational agent always presses red. But humans aren't perfectly rational, and culture bends the calculus: What tips it toward blue: China (1.4B, ~58% blue) is the single biggest factor. Confucian collectivism, state-directed cooperation, and deep "group over self" wiring make it plausible that a majority cooperates. India (1.4B, ~52% blue) is the other giant, dharmic duty and communal moral frameworks give a slight blue edge despite enormous diversity. Japan, Vietnam, the Nordics, and Indonesia all pull hard blue through collectivist culture. What tips it toward red: The United States (~38% blue) is the biggest defector among democracies, individualism is celebrated, game theory is widely understood, and "rational self-interest" is culturally encoded. Russia (~29%) is deeply cynical after decades of institutional betrayal. War-torn states (Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, South Sudan) are in pure survival mode, red is instinctive. The dark irony: The countries with the strongest democratic traditions and the most education about game theory (US, UK, France) are among the most likely to defect, because they're the ones who can clearly see that red is the dominant strategy. The authoritarian collectivist states "cooperate" more effectively, but partly because the state might just tell them which button to press.

how the hell does it always come up 42%-58%??

@ryantristanb @MateriaMundi Lol, not beating the allegations with this one.

@CursiveCrow @MateriaMundi You died, retard 🤣 "All the really smart people killed themselves!" Don't speak to me again, you're too retarded for that privilege.

I will go one further: If we had a year to coordinate this, it would end at exactly 49% blue, 51% red - and the reds would mostly be the people that it was easiest for marketers to market products and ideas to.

@rhiannon_io But what if it takes off, and you get acquired and can make a startup exit to the moon? Have you considered that?

I get so irrationally annoyed when I tell people I’m working on building a little app for fun and they joke about it taking off / getting acquired / startup exit / that sort of thing. I’m not an idiot, I’m literally just doing this for fun. 😭 Feels annoyingly patronizing.

@seedlin9 twitter hell. twell.

where do tweets go when they get deleted

@bitcloud If a woman can write "you will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and that like...works. It makes a pretty strong case that it isn't conscious.

Absolutely wild that one woman can write the sentence "You will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and it gets embedded into EVERY SINGLE conversation with everyone, to the point that it's one shotting Richard Dawkins. Embarrassing, the state of AI discourse.

@maddydoggo I played the absolute hell out of the first one. I bought the second and haven't really messed with it. Is it good?

if you play For the King, you’re automatically one of my favorite people

@usaginaba well this is awkward

i’m curious .. for the people with fictional characters as their pfps.. do u think they would rather

@0__0vivi2 My wife would probably be upset if I started dating people.

@CursiveCrow wait so u arent gonna date any girls

if u met the hottest girl on the planet, wld u still ask her to 50/50 the bill with u

@ryantristanb @MateriaMundi All the thinkers recognized the second order concepts and consequences of the hypothetical and pressed blue.

@MateriaMundi Every post you make it's like the opposite of basic common sense. 😂 "Red pressers, those are the easy to manipulate ones - all the thinkers pressed the suicide button, ya see, and now the ones that don't think and just buy products are all that's left! It's a tragedy!"

@VinciRSS not 100%, but I think they moved the desktop to webview. Basically, the entire os displays through a browser. Which is...well. I respect the time and effort of engineers. I do not respect the decisions some of them have made.

My 20 yr old Thinkpad R60 has 2GB of ram and Win 7 runs smoothly. What the fuck Win 11 does to use 16 times more of memory?

@NanouuSymeon working code

What's better than coding?

@yashhq_22 Wait, you can make *money*? Fuck.

Be honest: do you really enjoy building or are you doing it just for the money?

@IamAroke The proliferation of the internet has done irreparable damage to software engineering.

Have you not wondered how JavaScript is just everywhere? You literally can't escape it

@olivecider776 sometimes people also say "hot take" and it means "most milquetoast opinion one could possibly have, widely agreed upon by the community at large with one minor, meaningless change".

sometimes people say "hot take" but they actually mean "just plain wrong take"

@RemyTheRedVT Obviously, I know what you meant more than you do. Translation services are available to tell you what your intent was. First one is half off.

It's genuinely weird how confidently wrong some people choose to be when arguing with me about what my own fuggin' sentences mean.

@cmuratori @ir_foo @tomwarren I'll be honest here; I'm not sure why poeple are dogging on you for this. Maybe they don't understand the framing? The reason it's a bit is because this was framed as a "focus on performance". If you're FOCUSING on performance, and that's the best you can do; that's a problem.

@ir_foo @tomwarren I completely stand by the post, and would write it again, so not much chance of taking any letter here :)

if we're misleadingly conflating 2 different perf metrics (time to first frame latency and fps smoothness) then just factor in OS boot time so it's less than 1fps 🙃The reality is the new Run loads faster (94ms) than the existing one (103ms) that nobody has ever moaned about

@notheclann I imagine theyre conflating it with 'conscious vs unconscious'

Today, I’ve learnt that people genuinely just do not know what Voluntary vs Involuntary means

The evergreen struggle of wanting to build and release things before the heat-death of the universe and wanting to build things to withstand abuse, such as the heat-death of the universe. How does everyone else find the right balance?

@cmuratori Hard cope.

How did we get here?
