The background is that Night Dive tried to do this back when they formed, but it turned out to be intractable for a number of reasons including no one knew who actually owned it.


Comic books already use changes in font, weight, size, of text and the shape of the word balloon to indicate tone and expression.


Don't make tap the sign: "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION"


You're kind of preaching to the choir here with that.

How do we get the people who already doing this in businesses to stop doing it, if they see it as "saving time" and currently don't have qualms with it?


What choir?

The article is already [FLAGGED].

Like everything else on this site that even hints at criticism of technology or authoritarianism.


Because it's a duplicate, the very same story was featured yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45684934) with over 400 comments, so (sadly for you) it proves that the point you were trying to make is hilariously wrong.


Hold them accountable for the computers mistakes? The computer is a tool, and if a carpenter makes a mess we're not likely to blame the hammer. This isn't different in any way.


The article did not also point out issues like the compiler or interpreter having a runtime error, the hardware the software is running on having a defect, etc. Do we consider these out of scope of the discussion?


My lived experience is that high stress situations frequently make me feel like just going to sleep.


This may have multiple causes (past experience/trauma, energy levels, existing depression, sleep troubles, anything on the spectrum of autism, like ADHD...).

As far as energy levels go, if you are already tired, you may lack energy to cope with stressful situations, which leads you to procrastinate or even sleep too just not face it. From personal experience, low (just below the lower limit, so nothing seemingly dramatic) vitamin D levels may affect one's energy levels negatively (always tired, brain fog, everything feels hard...), and having appropriate vitamin D levels may already provide one with a clear mind and remove the hardship of dealing with most of what others consider as seemingly simple situations.

You might be depressed because of low energy levels, instead of the other way around.

So, make sure your energy levels are appropriate and that your mitochondria work fine. (Any LLM will provide you with detailed info about energy levels and mitochondria).

Of course, that's only based on personal experience, and I'm a software engineer, not a Doctor.

Have a nice day.


For me it's low stress / passive situations, like listening to presentations or sitting in a meeting where I'm just observing. And that's with good sleep etc.


Any kind of one sided meeting puts me to sleep. So I either don’t go, leave or work on my computer if it is not relevant. Luckily my company encourages not going to meetings where you feel you don’t have anything useful to add.

Unfortunately I haven’t even been able to make it through one phd presentation of my friends.


Same if it involves a human yelling. If I'm in my bed while it's happening , I might actually sleep briefly. It becomes impossible to stay awake sometimes.

Other high stress situations involving actually solving something motivates me though.


> My lived experience

What are the other types of experience one might have?


It's a nice change of pace around here when people intentionally make themselves the butt of the joke by acting like extremely common phrases are somehow foreign to them. "Lived experience" immediately adds more detail and context to how they obtained their knowledge by explicitly referring to first hand involvement and direct experience rather than potentially from second hand sources or studying, but here you are making a smarmy reply pretending that it was somehow more confusing to the benefit of the rest of us who might take your attempt at quips as humorous. Thanks for the laugh!


No problem friend, happy to help. I still think it's a stupid phrase, you don't have anyone else's experience and you're never not alive to experience anything. All it does is "I'm trying to make my point stronger by making you feel bad about questioning it because I'm going to reply that you can't question what I said"


I guess you could take the idea that someone has an experience that may be different to yours and that you aren't able to dictate as a personal affront rather than a plain fact, but I recommend against it. That doesn't seem interesting or productive, it seems like getting worked up over something beyond your control and of no consequence.


> I guess you could take the idea that someone has an experience that may be different to yours

I do as a default because it is, that's why the sentence is tautological - which was my point. There's also a difference between expressing an opinion and being "worked up".


That's like your personal opinion man


Other people's? Like, I don't get meltdowns myself but I've seen others that do.


You misunderstand, their sentence is in the first person, you cannot experience anything in third person.


You have experienced other people's lives? How? Are you a discorporated entity that possesses the living?


There's this concept called empathy, and people can share how they experience things. We can also relate our own experiences. So, it might not be a first-hand experience, but we can put ourselves in their shoes. If we see a friend experience something, it becomes a shared experience. When our friends laugh, we laugh too. When they grieve, we grieve with them. Etc


I recommend @robinswords on YouTube for historical fencing.

Godot 3 and 4 are very good for bashing out apps for both desktop and Android phone.


I've been thinking about using Godot in this way recently, would you care to say more about what your experience has been like?


The main caveat is that you have to enable developer mode on the Android device to load the apps, but that is typical if you are running your own apps.

Godot uses a Python-like language instead of Lua, which is good for me. Lots of people groove with Lua, but it gives me the ick.

I did not get very far trying to make 3D or physics-based games with Godot 3. I did not like the 3D interface, and the physics engine was too brittle for e.g. a pinball simulation. Too much tunneling and other inconsistent behavior.

But for 2D applications that are a mixture of text and images, i find it fits the bill quite well.

(For 3D apps and physics, I currently use Unreal Engine 4. Some tunneling, but I know tricks to mitigate that, and I much prefer its 3D interface.)


LLMs are using the corpus of existing software source code. Most software source code is just North of unworkable garbage. Garbage in, garbage out.


I have one full of thyme.
