What does "temperature" on the Y-axis refer to?

Ah, open source - that's an advantage for sure, thank you.

As someone out of the loop on modern RISC, what is the benefit of RISC versus x86/64?

Unfortunately there were plenty of people who weren't rich but wasted what little money they had thinking an NFT was their golden ticket. The only right move here was to not play, so you did good.

I can definitely agree, I hate YouTube's recommendation algorithm and would prefer it was set to maybe a 10% algorithmic, 90% random mix. Every time I use it, I avoid clicking on things because I know if I do and forget to delete it from my history, it's going to be surfacing the same show/IP/creator nonstop for days. It's so goddamn aggressive.

It's amazing how addictive VS is without being predatory or manipulative. The feedback loop to play one more game is solid, in the best way.

So it's just refreshing that Galante actually has principles enough to stay away from micro transactions. I hope we're at the point where more developers move away from that - I feel like after the 2000s and 2010s, where game monetization went full nihilistic capitalism, we're all ready for a change.

This is my first exposure to "longtermism" and it sounds like an interesting debate. But I'm actually having a hard time because this is one of the dumbest neologisms I've ever heard.

Sorry for the similarly dumb rant but: Not only is it extremely vague given its very specific technical meaning (the author of the article has to clarify in the first paragraph that it doesn't mean traditional "long term thinking." Off to a great start!), but it is about as artful wordplay as painting boobies on a cave wall. It sounds to my ear like a five year old describing the art of fencing as "fightystickism."

No offense, but I think you're just being dazzled by patent-style writing. For whatever it's worth on an anonymous Internet forum, I've written patents, and litigated patents, related to analogous compression technology.

It is not difficult to write something that sounds complex and novel in a patent, but is in fact a completely obvious, generic solution that any person of skill in the art would immediately and inevitably have upon confronting a task or problem. The patent examiners are overworked, underpaid, and every patent attorney knows this. Thousands of patents are granted that should not be granted every year, because after a few office actions and responses, high-paid attorneys inevitably make it too time-consuming for the patent examiners to fight.

And while yes, sometimes tech companies steal tech, you should also be verrrry suspicious of anything coming out of EDTX by default.
