  • Beleentoro Pro might be something for you. Basically a chill factory game, which I enjoyed for a long time. Other games by the developer Yiotro might be worth a look too.
    There are also free versions of most of their games available, with ads iirc (not sure, has been a while). But if you don’t want the ads: the pro versions are really cheap. One time purchase for everything.

    Another idea I have a puzzle game called: Mekorama by Martin Magni. The last time I played you got an option to pay what you think the game is worth at the end of the game. But you don’t have to.

    Mini Metro by Dinosaur Polo Club is also really good, but comes with a purchase.

    If you like tower defense, Bloons TD 6 by Ninja Kiwi is a must have. Comes with a purchase and has the option of microtransactions for cosmetics, but you can get those by playing as well. More importantly, it’s tons of fun.

    In case you’ve got a Netflix subscription, check out their games. They have lots of games in their repertoire which you would have to buy if you went through the App/Play stores. (Bloons TD 6 should be included there for example.)

    Edit: corrected Bloons TD 5 to Bloons TD 6.

    According to a quick read on Wikipedia, you are right. He was charged, But not sentenced.

    On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT.[15][16] Federal prosecutors, led by Carmen Ortiz, later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[17] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.[18] Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison.[19] Two days after the prosecution rejected a counter-offer by Swartz, he was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment.[20][21]

  • Thank you, kind geology enthusiast.

    Really barely comprehensible how immense those volcanic activities are.

    On a side note, you’ve listed insane unit after insane unit of death and destruction. And then there is this sentence:

    There is evidence that it occurred on an autumn afternoon

    That was a cute turn and I laughed. :D



  • “Mistakes were treated statistically,” a source who used Lavender told +972. “Because of the scope and magnitude, the protocol was that even if you don’t know for sure that the machine is right, you know statistically that it’s fine. So you go for it.” […]
    During the first few weeks of the war, officers were allowed to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians for every lower-level Hamas operative targeted by Lavender; for senior Hamas officials, the military authorized “hundreds” of collateral civilian casualties, the report claims.

    I fucking hate people. Especially those, who don’t need to use violence but choose to do so anyway.



  • You are literally wrong. Nice article, don’t see how that’s relevant though.

    Could it be, that you don’t know what “intelligence” is? And what falls under definitions of the “artificial” part in “artificial intelligence”? Maybe you do know, but have a different stance on this. It would be good to make those definitions clear before arguing about it further.

    From my point of view, the aforementioned branches, are all important parts of the field of artificial intelligence.


  • I totally agree with Linus Torvalds in that AIs are just overhyped autocorrects on steroids

    Did he say that? I hope he didn’t mean all kinds of AI. While “overhyped autocorrect on steroids” might be a funny way to describe sequence predictors / generators like transformer models, recurrent neural networks or some reinforcement learning type AIs, it’s not so true for classificators, like the classic feed-forward network (which are part of the building blocks of transformers, btw), or convolutional neural networks, or unsupervised learning methods like clustering algorithms or principal component analysis. Then there are evolutionary algorithms and there are reasoning AIs like bayesan nets and so much much much more different kinds of ML/AI models and algorithms.

    It would just show a vast lack of understanding if someone would judge an entire discipline that simply.
