Interesting concept. I've been playing with using agents to modernize finish the ~200 projects I started. Next will be the idea pile...

The article talks about European colonies, so would these have been European values then since America did not yet exist?

Agreed, there's not a lot of substance here. I read the article more than once and still don't know if "overarming" means too many individuals own guns or too many guns per individual. I assume the former based on context. Also interesting is that they focus on the US but two out of three groups studied are not in the US.

Here you go-

The point of the game is to find as many words as possible with the least number of swaps and leftover letters. There's always a solution that takes no swaps and uses all letters.

I put a word game together, it was a fun exercise. Nobody plays it except my wife and her family. It's really not even finished or even that good. Since it's one of the few things she likes that I made, it's still up with a user base of 3.

> using live animals as the computational substrate. Use the visual cortex of one as the input, send the neural spikes to a second animals frontal lobe for computation and finally send those signals to a third animals motor cortex to physically press buttons.

That sounds terrifying.

Planted a few fruit trees, some strawberries, and vegetables. Every time I water them, I think about automated irrigation.
