It's pretty easy ngl but it takes hard work.

Just set up a chessboard and play every single possible game and store the outcomes in your memory. After that, you should be able to play a perfect game whenever you want.

95% of the "wholesome human moments" are more or less tribalism/nepotism malfunctioning.

It's like when a mother cat adopts ducklings because she came across them shortly after birth. But if it was 8 hours before she'd hunt and eat them. The cat doesn't care about the ducks, it's just a brain chemistry acting in a weird case. Humans are not different, they just imagine their emotions/unconscious social calculations to be a part of themselves.

I hate having to explain this shit to literal Comp Sci majors.

Even if ChatGPT was literally a perfect copy of a human being it would still be 0 steps closer to a general intelligence because it does not fucking understand WHAT or HOW to actually do the things it suggests.

What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming

Chances are you'll have to switch to whatever your job has eventually so just pick what you like. I really like VsCode personally because you can read the documentation of methods without leaving your program. The best system and tools is whatever gets you to start learning though.

I want start with python but I don't know what operating system and tools to use

Python is great and easy to learn but I think it leads to misunderstandings about how programming languages work if that's your only experience. If you can get a Programming Fund 1 class in C or C++, you can transfer over those skills to Python in a week. If you start with Python, then you'll be mostly starting from scratch if you need to learn other languages. But it's entirely your choice.

In terms of programming institutions (universities bootcamps, etc..), do each institutions have its own preference or does it let its student choose?

My university had Windows for the public computers but as long as you turned in your code it didn't matter where it was written. I know lots of people who used a Linux VM that they carried on a USB stick. They completed their assignments just fine.

Your metrics are just vibe-based then.

2000 was absolutely more of a coup than Jan 6th by almost every functional metric. Your main criticism of Jan 6th and Trump are based more on civility than actual policy. Nothing about Trump was uniquely terrible for a Republican president policy wise, he just said the quiet part out loud.

Plus it won't be a burning pit of fire once climate change really ramps up.

I think of so many games where the whole point is just a 2-3 second bit at the end like this.

A single-player fantasy game with no skill points/upgrades beyond equipment. I want the entirety of the progression to be the skills of the player. You end up losing fights to more than one goblin at a time, but then you learn to start dealing with groups. A long enough time pasts and you're slaughtering hordes of enemy like clockwork. But if someone took control of your character they'd still lose to a goblin or two.

I want something where split second reaction times and skill determine how a fight goes. Both me and the enemy should be able to kill each other in 2-3 seconds given the right circumstances. I want extremely punishing mechanics for both enemies and the player. Something like a first-person Hotline Miami but with really good swordplay.

I don't care if the Nazis razed their homes, killed their families, and will literally kill them tomorrow unless this position holds, I will not have a 14 year old boy join the Red Army. - robot_dog_with_gun

Child soldiers suck but if the only other option is literally just them being killed it's a moot point.

"I would like to end the world because my father is a dick"

Get in the robot Shinji. This is literally the fate of all mankind, including yourself. Your options are to let everyone die and then you die 3 minutes later or get in the robot, be scared, and possibly live.
