Apologies for anyone not actually on this planet. If you could let us know the temperature of your spacecraft that would be stellar! -

Nemoder Link Parent68 sounds about perfect for me. I can understand wanting it even colder though I think I'd miss the occasional casual walk in the woods.68 sounds about perfect for me. I can understand wanting it even colder though I think I'd miss the occasional casual walk in the woods.

I'm curious how everyone here is coping this summer. Personally I prefer winter, I can always warm up with blankets and hot soup if it gets too cold. But this time of year even with the AC on full blast my brain still feels entirely cooked.
For my room it is now 80F/27C and it feels too dang hot!!
(also about 40% humidity here, which is high for what is normally a desert region)32 votes -

While I respect the technical usefulness I think ignoring the social issues about who owns the generated code and what happens when everyone begins to depend on a handful of companies to do any development is also sticking your head in the sand.
But hey, maybe this time when kernel contributors get their AI access revoked Linus will write a new better AI for us!

The excitement for new scientific discovery and overcoming each obstacle makes it a lot of fun. With so much other sci-fi lately being rather bleak it is heartwarming to find a story that keeps some optimism alive.
I also just watched this fun video from somebody who knows a bit more about the science in the movie and book:

It was written in the early 2000s about a potential future in 2025 which has made it fun to compare his guesses with reality. Wearable computing and augmented reality didn't quite take off so much, but his concept of Belief Circles seems to be getting closer to reality as so many people's world view is heavily filtered.
My only complaint so far is the story centers around a main character who just isn't likeable. I wouldn't want every story to be limited to charismatic heroes but if they have almost no redeeming qualities it's hard to care what happens to them. I'm still holding out some hope he changes by the end or that at least some profound insights are made to tie it all together.

Nemoder LinkI've been playing it regularly with a group of friends for awhile now. We usually meet around 7pm PST which is around noon aussie time I think. I can add you on steam if you want to try then.I've been playing it regularly with a group of friends for awhile now. We usually meet around 7pm PST which is around noon aussie time I think.

It was co-created by Bennett Foddy (of Getting Over It fame) which means it also has a wide range of insidious level designs, rage inducing dynamic sounds and very awkward cut-scenes. Basically they took all the easy, addictive and manipulative unwritten rules of AAA game design and did the exact opposite. I think only players who are masochistic enough to put up with all the rage-bait will enjoy this kind of challenge.
That said, it IS a proper uniquely challenging game which outside of precision platformers seem to be rare these days. If you can stomach some of the childish humor and the brutal challenges it can feel pretty rewarding to complete. I'll likely play it again sometime to see all the areas I missed.
