There was an excellent text based RPG called Roadwarden that came out the other year. It's just text and illustrations so thought I'd use this post to mention it.
If small amounts of animation are allowed then WORLD OF HORROR was decent too.
Have any other devs tried using LLMs for work? They've been borderline useless for me.
Also the notion of creating a generation of devs who have no idea what they are writing and no practice of resolving problems "manually" seems insanely dumb.
I'd be hesitant to use the money to do anything political in my country. Have watched Musk throw around money during the last presidential election in the states and it's not a good look.
So that leaves some kind of charity. Charities benefit from economies of scale so it would be better to give more money to a single charity than to split it up amongst many charities. Probably would have to start my own since I don't trust many of the existing ones (too much money going on executive pay). Pretty sure dysentery is the biggest killer worldwide so would put half into that, then maybe half into libraries in my country. Libraries are a bit of a selfish choice but they have a lot of social utility beyond just having books (by my own logic I should be putting it all into dysentery too).
There are billionaires out there right now who are investing their money in trying to solve the world's problems. Bill Gates has given away $60 billion dollars of his own money so far through his foundation as of the end of last year.
That money goes further being spent on developing nations as opposed to the USA so people don't seem to notice. The WHO is trying to eliminate malaria by 2050 and we've gone from there being ~1,000,000 deaths per year in 2000 to ~300,000 cases per year in 2024.
I am self-aware enough to know I would not cope with this well. I can't imagine having to share my partner's attention with something else in the relationship. Likewise, I enjoy focusing all my energies on her and her well-being.
There's just no room for a baby. We had to have all these discussions before we got married obviously. Door left slightly ajar for adoption when we are in our 40s if we happen to have a change of heart in the next 10 years.
Deep fried Mars bars taste better when you are not eating them, if that makes any sense. The anticipation is good, eating it is pretty gross, then after you are tempted to get another one.
This was actually a Victorian parody question they invented to make fun of medieval philosophers. Nowadays we think Thomas Aquinas, etc. were making quite sophisticated points, albeit within the boundaries of the religious society of the time.
