Yes! According to this post, someone tried to find the max rooms in Inform 7 and stopped at tens of thousands. Took long to compile (not run) and used a lot of memory, but not an issue. https://intfiction.org/t/i7-realistic-max-number-of-rooms/99...

That's inform7, a different syntax than inform6, but in the end both compile against the same virtual machine. Still, inform6 OOP syntax with the English library it's like a really dumbed down Python more OOP than Python itself. Literally, as you are playing with objects in-game with literal attributes mapped 1:1 to the syntax. An enterable object in order to be that it must have the 'enterable' attribute defined in the object.

Excited at first ... until he sold you the hMMM machine, took your credits and flew away, only for you to discover that this machine only programs in little endian brainf*ck!

Quick warning to not play the video in the room with an Echo. Now I have Alexa telling everyone in the house that green hippo is hungry!!

Which begs the question, how do they broadcast "Alexa, ..." on TV shows so that it doesn't set my Echo off?

This is from 2018, but presumably they use largely the same method now: https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/2/16965484/amazon-alexa-supe...

To save a click:

> Apparently, the Alexa commercials are intentionally muted in the 3,000Hz to 6,000Hz range of the audio spectrum, which apparently tips off the system that the “Alexa” phrase being spoken isn’t in fact a real command and should be ignored.

Legend has it that he was handed a live bat at a concert and thought it was a prop -- was almost more surprised than the bat.

Also - animal rights were still gaining traction re: the arts. It was only in 1972 that the first "No animals were harmed in this film" was aired.

SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory) is awful; we tend to just have blocks of a few years of memories.

The only benefit is you can't be gas-lit intentionally because you are always gas-lit, so you believe nothing. :-)

Very cute but wish there was a filter for the flavor of the week ... I feel 60% of them will have LLM because of this bias. Last month would've been "powered by rust."

A wonderful atlas -- my favorite are her trail maps where she depicts a character's daily journey in the book.

The article (almost) footnotes her other work which was equally impressive:

* She also created atlases for the worlds of fantasy authors Anne McCaffrey, creator of the “Dragonriders of Pern” series, and Stephen R. Donaldson, who wrote “The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” series.

Congratulations! What was the stack/language you used to make this [ didn't see it in your original post ]?

Are there any other copies of this video out there? Since it's a bogus claim, the video should be able to be posted elsewhere --- YouTube can't be the only source of record.

I know there's a text version: https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/bitcoin

And here the video: https://web.archive.org/web/20241116220152/https://www.youtu...

Wow, how does that work? Archive.org can't possibly archive every YouTube video, right?

They don't but if it is a popular video the likelyhood of it being archived increases. It is possible to submit URLs to archive.org manually too. Also the youtube videos downloaded by archiveteam volunteers[0] possibly end up in wayback machine though I'm not sure if it happens automatically anymore.

*Fair warning -- I LOVE Obsidian.md ; not an evangelist, per se, but it's a great tool.

Free and practically future-proof ( all markdown; some extra flavor markdown but that's optional, extensions anyone can build in javascript )

Macros that help me do redundant things with a keystroke, a calendar that automatically populates with my custom template when I click on the date ( could set it to do it when I log in every day but not always in My-Day mode.)

I pay for replication because it supports the devs -- you can customize replication yourself with existent tools --- dropbox, syncthing, etc.

If you're an author, there are tools that make it more Scrivener-like. If you're a TTRPG player, there's tutorials on importing rules, rolling dice and autogenerating from tables, etc.

Anyway, I thoroughly recommend
