  • Oh wow it's been awhile since I last saw that article, that's a fun find. I have a weird soft spot for Inform 6+

    Reminds me a little of the "XYZZYing the Technical Interview" series of blog posts (reversing, hexing, typing, rewriting, and unifying)

  • I feel like the article ends pretty suddenly, but maybe that's just because I can already imagine the next 30 pages of explaining TESCREAL bullshittery in my head

    • Rationalist posts detailed catalogue of confirmed bad behaviour by EA/rationalist org Nonlinear. Second rationalist goes meta on first post: how can we even know anything, it's so unfair to Nonlinear

  • I am so lost on what even happened there. Was that at the peaceful protest where they were surrounded by police?

    I went digging through some old threads on sneerclub and came away more confused than I started

  • Not going to namedrop as I have no idea how involved and connected he is to all this

    I totally will 😎

    Robert Miles was my first heartbreaker. He seems like a great educator; I just like listening to him explaining things and talking about computer science. But damn it came as a shock to see he's the narrator of a Rationalism for Kids cartoon series and is neck-deep in EA.

  • I don't even want to watch that video because I know I'm going to get annoyed by it. Veritasium's video on self-driving cars was so awful, it was enough for me to just sort them into the Sketchy Pop-Sci YouTube Channels bucket for good. I've heard that their videos on electricity and that one physics bet were also pretty shaky.
