I love the RNGdle idea, but I thought it might be even more fun as a way to discover Minecraft seeds. So I spent the day making this.

For the uninitiated, Minecraft is deterministic, so you can determine what exactly the spawn point of a new world looks like if you know the seed number. This project gamifies that discovery process by assigning value to certain generated features, culminating in an overall score. It's just a little dopamine hit + small potential value for people who actually play Minecraft.

Suburbs are subsidized by economic centres. And the state of affairs in North America - Vancouver included - is we’re not building housing to match demand. That’s true purely in terms of individual units but it’s also true for types of units. Like apartments that aren’t luxury units, but that can fit a family. They don’t build those anymore because city council makes it completely unprofitable for developers.

If you think that apartment living is inherently more expensive I’m sorry to tell you that you have it completely backwards.

It’s very fast and very difficult to read.

Sub-agent tasks often have overlapping context after the point of dispatch. Example: you tell agent 1 to explore folder A and agent 2 to explore folder B, if they have the same structure a single agent might be able to discover what it's looking for faster in serial mode vs. parallel. And if not faster, likely with fewer tokens.

And as the orchestrator context grows, it also loses out on capturing the nuance from some of the sub-agent context. In theory they pass some of that back, but realistically things get missed, and you can't apply learnings to parallel runs like you can in series.

The latest frontier models are very good at taking the knowledge they've acquired during a session and applying it forward. Sub-agents make more sense in cases where the agent is dumb to begin with and can't make use of the context it learns from serial execution.

“Rabbit sex, how?”

Most jobs, not all, can take place inside a city. If you build your cities densely, people can live and work within the city and have all their needs met without the need for a car (see: the great cities of the world)

If you design economic hubs properly, businesses can be located within reach of homes without the need for cars.

If you instead prioritize the need for, I don’t know, a monoculture lawn and separation from lower class people, then you’re choosing to build suburbs. Once a city has built enough suburbs, businesses become out of reach without the use of a car.

They mind because they are completely outnumbered. Policing only works if you can point out a small minority and say “these people are causing harm to the majority of us”. With something like fireworks (or cannabis protests in many places) the police are severely outnumbered and they don’t have enough room in their jails anyway.
