"Think Different"


"Courage"


Is there a similar project for Masters of Orion?


There's another recommendation that I haven't tried, but I've played a bunch of https://rayfowler.itch.io/remnants-of-the-precursors and can recommend it.

I wish there were one for MOO2, though. With some modern rebalancing...


https://github.com/1oom-fork/1oom is the one I recommend


> why no radio frequency evidence of other stars

unless the radio beam is aimed directly at us, we may not be able to detect the radio communication of other civilizations.


this is such a large red-flag.. with layers of conflicts of interest


I tried it on gpt-4-turbo and it seems to give the right answer:

it's true.. the S&P 500 declined ~57% from Oct 2007 to Mar 2009


A crown on a fool's head does not make him a king.


it looks like we can now actually use brains as computers: https://corticallabs.com/


I'm really fascinated by the idea of biological computers. Doesn't get enough recognition.


i'm simultainously unsurprised and blown away. i should rewatch the anime Psycho Pass sometime.


How is the anime related?


The show is oriented around a fictitious law enforcement technology called the Sibyl System. This system is capable of determining the intent of people, and based on that, it can predict crimes and criminal intent, allowing law enforcement to preventively take action. The kicker is, as the MC learns, that there are people who the system doesn't seem to work on.

Minor(?) plot point spoiler ahead for season one:

Later on the story the main character further learns that the system is actually a mainframe made up of living human brains connected together. Hence the relation.


you may be thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy

Here the machine is using tin, which isn't suitable for fusion (no energy is released beyond iron).


replace tin droplets with DT pellets :)
