Krapivin made this breakthrough by being unaware of Yao's conjecture.
The developer of Balatro made an award winning deck builder game by not being aware of existing deck builders.
I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before. This makes me kind of sad, because the current world is so interconnected, that we rarely see such novelty with their tendency to "fall in the rut of thought" of those that came before. The internet is great, but it also homogenizes the world of thought, and that kind of sucks.
Sometimes insight can come by evaluating the problem at its rawest form. In short, a wild but fresh perspective.

Keeping this up and we might need to start introducing version management tools to the U.S. government.
Disclaimer: I am very well aware this is not a valid test or indicative or anything else. I just thought it was hilarious.
When I asked the normal "How many 'r' in strawberry" question, it gets the right answer and argues with itself until it convinces itself that its (2). It counts properly, and then says to it self continuously, that can't be right.

Regarding China: China accounted for 95% of the world's new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the latest annual report from Global Energy Monitor (GEM). Construction began on 70 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in China, up four-fold since 2019, says GEM's annual report on the global coal power industry China started construction on 70.2 GW of new coal-power capacity last year, almost 20 times the rest of the world's 3.7 GW.
If I am not mistaken, a good portion of these newly constructed coal plants are meant to replace existing ones that are obsolete and inefficient. It would be hard to judge its impact on net pollution without relevant data on plants retired.

what’s the best way to start with zelda, if you’re on iphone or mac? i can’t reallly get a console.
The emulator? If you really have no other way around to buy/play it, then it is somewhat ethical.

"Most of the news coverage of Google’s move against Pinduoduo emphasizes that the malware was found in versions of the Pinduoduo app available outside of Google’s app store..."
Given this, it could also be the work of some shady third parties.
