When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?
I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.

- Comment on San Francisco crypto founder faked his own death 1 week ago:
Dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, and wire-rimmed glasses, Yu declined to talk about the false report of his death or how he may have benefited financially from it.
“You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” he said before telling this reporter to leave.
That epitaph should be etched onto his gravestone.
Although the obituary touted his alleged successes, the more significant self-tribute was Sunday’s release of a memecoin that one of his social media accounts promoted in what claimed to be an automated message. “If you’re reading this, it’s because my 72 hour deadman’s switch triggered so i’m not here, at least physically,” the message said. The message described the new coin, dubbed $LLJEFFY, as “my final art piece” and “an eternal grave in cyberspace.”
Who doesn’t have a deadman’s switch to capitalize on one’s own death?
On-chain analysis shared on social media by Bubblemaps, a crypto analytics platform, showed accounts linked to Yu moving up to $1.4 million in cryptocurrency after his supposed death. Several accounts accused Yu of orchestrating an elaborate “pseudocide exit strategy” to cash out his holdings.
So gifted! So capable! Such a deep understanding of the technology!
…
Before his staged death, Yu published a manifesto introducing the concept of “legacoins” — described as an “evolution of digital assets commonly referred to as memecoins” that function as “a vault or storage, securing and preserving value indefinitely.”
What an incredible coincidence!

- Comment on AI may aid screening for opioid use disorder 5 weeks ago:
It looks like an offline tool that reviews existing medical records to find indicators of addiction:
Overall, the AI screener was as effective as provider-only assessments in leading to addiction specialist consultations. However, those who received AI screening were 47% less likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after initial discharge.
The team calculated that each readmission avoided saved about $6,800 in health care costs during the study period. The findings suggest that investment in AI could help to increase access to addiction treatment, improve efficiencies, and save costs.

My machine is not a workhorse. I got it second hand. It has around 8gb of RAM, and an 80gb HDD I found in a laptop.
But it’s enough to work as a testbed, so it’s fine with me.

I’ve finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I’ve been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it’s working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 1 month ago:
I don’t really get what selling Chrome and Android would accomplish.
There was a leak of Google’s old page ranking algorithm (not PageRank, but how they change the order of results on search) - it looked like they used a bunch of signals from Chrome about the amount of time users spend on a page, how quickly they go back, etc. Chrome gives the search side of the business an advantage.
Conversely, Android feeds a bunch of extra data to the ad business about what people do in real life.
Both products give the rest of Alphabet a significant advantage over their competitors, and make it harder for new entrants to get a foothold.
