@ID_AA_Carmack Thank you for sharing

My reply to someone considering starting a video game company: The distribution of possible rewards for starting a video game company are generally not very good today. The market is well served, and gaining a foothold requires strong execution on both business and product issues, along with a substantial amount of luck. Plan to burn through seven figures with a not-great chance of making it back. If you do go for it, some bits of advice: Identify your customers clearly before you start. Not just a broad community, but specific people, and imagine them as you make decisions. Initially, build the smallest, most concise game you can imagine anyone paying for. It will still take much longer than you expect. Once something exists, hill-climb the value. Hopefully you will have some elements that clearly bring joy to people, which you can magnify. There will inevitably be tons of things that people find confusing, frustrating, or just boring that you will need to fix.

@Blizzard_Ent @Diablo do you have plans to add support for the steam controller?

This guy got so annoyed with spam callers that he wrote a script that endlessly calls them back and plays Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” on repeat until they finally block his number.

@BSAT_Properties Time is our most precious resource. When it’s wasted it should be unacceptable.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX.

If you're not from NC but live here and don't like it, here's a list of things to do around here that might change your mind:

@ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk apparently Zack has never used this before

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2. This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

@sportdrink @balldotfood You will buy ball food now!

@balldotfood LAWSUIT INCOMING!!!

YES, WE DID STEAL SPORT DRINK'S LOGO. WHY? BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD LOGO! FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, SPORT DRINK'S LAWYER, BARRY ROSENBLATT, ESQ, IS TOO BUSY CRYING ABOUT SPORT DRINK'S OWN "COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS." LAME!

@StateDept 🤌

SECRETARY RUBIO: Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when you’re shot at. And we’re not a stupid county. The redline is clear – if Iranian boats threaten Americans, they’re going to get blown up. 🔥🔥🔥

The Ford Model T was like a Jeep before a Jeep. It had to be as there were not many paved roads. The Model T would brave the ruts of the horse carriages. Like all new technology, the infrastructure needed to grow as the market grew. The Model T was the accelerant.

@TeslaAiGirl Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎊🫶

Goodbye 49. Cheers to 50!

This kind of thinking affects all aspects of society. Movies, video games, car manufacturers, air planes… humans like familiar; it’s inherently difficult to step into the unknown, and then when you pile the money aspect in behind it, exponentially so. This is why the risk takers are so important. Reframing failure as never trying, instead of trying but not succeeding would be helpful.

Space launch was a clear case where there was a large difference in efficiency between what was possible and what was done in practice before SpaceX. A large part of that was due to everything being locked in to what (just barely) already worked, with huge risk aversion. WIth national prestige or a half billion dollar geosync satellite on the line, speculative engineering ideas that might result in a public debacle were not welcome. When failure is not an option, success can stay very expensive. You need to experiment to improve, and that fundamentally means being comfortable with failure. If you know it is going to work, it isn’t an experiment. I have long believed that nuclear power today is in precisely the same state as space launch two decades ago, but the even more pressing question now is if semiconductor fabrication might also be. On the one hand, Moore’s Law has been a sequence of heroic miracles of technology at the wafer fabrication level, grinding out hundreds of compounding small improvements. On the other hand, fabs are “too big to fail”, and there are elements of extreme conservatism at play. Intel’s “Copy exactly!” fab development exemplifies that mindset – instead of every new building being an opportunity to explore and optimize processes, it was deemed more valuable to just replicate. While each individual machine may be straining against physical limits of technology, it is possible that the systems orchestrating them all together could be far from optimal. The explore / exploit axis is fundamental to all decision making, but human risk avoidance probably biases away from optimal exploration.

@MarioNawfal Hate has made Hamill join the dark side

🇺🇸 Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted “if only” with an image of Trump, dead in a grave… unbelievable Obi-Wan Kenobi once said to Luke Skywalker: “Don’t give in to hate. That leads to the dark side.” Seems Luke did not listen.

This new Japanese footage of Team Wolf! OMG!😱
