Can relate the fascination with roads I use to like drawing them loads as a kid. I find Satisfactory the most satisfying for building transport systems (and building generally) your work incorporated into a mod for that would be really cool.

on: Psychiatric risks for worsened mental health after psychedelic use
When I had depression I used Salvia Divinorum and re-lived fragments of my childhood, I found that seemed to reset my brain back to last known good state bridging forgotten childhood memory in the short term to feeling like it was only a week ago. Certainly cured my depression though. It felt programmable with music, suspect it maybe more controllable with research. Interesting stuff strangely I found anti-addictive. Though equally could be majorily dangerous for some as it litterally sucks you out of reality and all perception of time for a bit.

on: Psychiatric risks for worsened mental health after psychedelic use
Devasting when such events occur. This can also occur from doing meditation for some, I'm not sure if anyone has measured whether there is any set means to determine individual level of risk and whether any particular mental conditioning/ study would mitigate that risk. Certainly awareness is important.

on: Air traffic controllers pushed to the brink
I had a new car for a month (mine got damaged whilst parked). Simply adjusting the aircon fan required screen navigation followed by a fidly touch screen control.
The crash avoidance systen was a distracting alert that took my attention away from the road for none risks but instead increased there likelyhood to become a risk.
Glad to get my own car back with physical switches and dials without all this crap, having to operate a tablet behind the wheel is a dumb idea and no different to operating a smart phone behind the wheel.

on: Binance and CEO admit financial crimes, billions coughed up to US govt
I think there is a strong technological interest in crypto, Bitcoin kicked off a triple-entry bookkeeping system so there is a new tech interest and ability to make money in a new financial space, many good communities have arisen out of that.
There is many tech communities buzzing with blockchain related tech and some serious innovation, a lot of interesting new projects from lower cost faster international transactions through to distributed GPU rendering, identity systems, and the possibilities with NFT's have barely got started.
It's also a new asset class for investors with ETF's from BlackRock etc round the corner its evident it's a now a rapidly maturing space, what's happened with Binance is evident that regulation is starting to catch up, but its regulation being so slow and indecisive that has made it easy pickings for illegal activity to occur.

Tea is addictive though in a weird kind of way and it does make you feel a bit crap if you drink to much of it, but then so does coffee even more so.

Does OpenAI also scan wayback machine? If it does and you are on that you may also wish to remove yourself.

Interesting was thinking to use stripe with some startup ideas, perhaps not then. Will certainly need to give this one more research.

on: MiniZinc
Someone else at the time had posted a let me GPT that response to someone's question which for me provided a very unclear response, I was re-prompting to get a more simplified explanation and it gave something that seemed helpful to me, so also to the question raised, no one else at the time had otherwise answered. I don't generally use GPT responses in comments hence why I noted in this case it was a GPT response and not my own.

My GPT answer was: Imagine you have a big box of colorful building blocks, and you want to create something specific, like a house or a car. But you have some rules or constraints that you need to follow in order to complete your creation. Constraint modeling is like playing with those building blocks, but with rules. It helps you figure out how to build something while following certain restrictions. These restrictions could be things like the size or shape of the blocks you can use, how they can fit together, or even how many blocks you have to use. So, constraint modeling is like a game where you have to solve puzzles using your building blocks, but you have to follow certain rules to complete the puzzle. It helps you think logically and creatively to build something amazing!

Whilst it devalues debt, I'm not sure I follow it being populist? Since it results in higher food, energy, rent prices etc and wages do not typically keep pace.
