I never thought about it but appearently dying is often a painful process (the natural old age process).
I kind of thought the heart stops in your sleep and then you go, but appearently no... Body doesn't like dying so it fights and it's painful and goes on for hours. Fuck.
I didn't want to know that so now I'm sharing it with you guys so you can also wish you didn't just read that. Enjoy.

I don't think it will be as good as the first one. That game had a unique feeling. I spent many hours trying to beat the big storm and had tons of fun. Played it over and over again many times until I finally understood how to get through the storm.
I hope this one is also difficult and rewarding, but I doubt it will be as good as the first one, now that we expect so much from it.

I probably shouldn't post this in a neovim sub, but the zed editor with vim mode is really, really nice.
It's extreamly fast and has lots of lsps just working out of the box. However, you don't have very good plugin support yet, but it's coming. There are mostly themes and lsps as plugins right now.
Most neovim users love their plugins though, and you won't get that with zed, yet.

Sure but the evaluations of the magnificent seven stocks makes no sense at all. Nvidia price to earnings is at 55, which means it will take 55 years before the current stock value matches its actual value.
It's common for tech companies to be valued higher than their worth because of future profit possibilities, but Im 100% confident AI won't give the effects in extra sales that the market hopes for.
Consumers actually try to avoid most the Ai crap. Only some of it is marginally useful. Maybe it will become more useful, or maybe not.

Some quotes from the article: > There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program. > We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane. > Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors. These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner. And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool. I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.

Julian Assange is free. After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again. I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
curiousmindmagazine.com
I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind. But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt. It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here: https://blog.lytix.co/posts/self-hosting-llama-3 But probably not worth the money for most people.

I liked this article. It was a weird feeling to read it because I felt like it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet... At the same time I'm happy to be here, enjoying all the tech we have and the tools we have, the food we eat. I still think humans can live in harmony with nature but we don't have any good leaders to take civilization in that direction. So in the end, we will probably perish because we fought over power and money until there was nothing left.

What have they done to the game? > As my city slowly filled up with buildings and residents, it also began to feel a bit empty—especially when compared to the original game which has been fed with dozens of DLC packs over the past seven years. With a mere 20,000 citizens and the designation of "Small City," the milestones had already run out of new features to unlock. There are only three different tourist attractions to build, and while there are several sports parks they're all small, the sort you might find in an average-sized town. Skylines 2 has nothing like the huge gleaming sports stadium from the first game that feels suited for a major city. > Zooming in close to spy on my city revealed a few other disappointing changes. In the original game it was fun to watch city services at work: firemen would race to a fire, get out of their trucks, and hose down the burning buildings with wee little hoses. Adorable and live-saving! For those less fortunate citizens, coroners would drive up to a house and then wheel out a sad little body bag to their hearse before heading for the cemetery. I was disappointed to see that in Skylines 2, fire engines and hearses pull up to the buildings they're servicing but there's none of those wonderful little animations. A moment later the fire simply goes out or the deceased citizen is teleported to the hearse, and the vehicle departs. Bummer. Really seems like they made a worse game than the first one....
This is over 10 years old but more relevant than ever. :)
