Nice :)

It won’t let me start a list and press enter to continue the list (e.g. set the list at 1. then type a line and press enter), but selecting text and copy-pasting over both seem to work.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s pretty astounding and I hope it’s viable! But I feel like I’ve heard that “inherently scalable” comment so many times, for fantastic sounding technological advances that do end up being white elephants or just don’t end up working outside of the proof of concept for whatever reason.

Still, I do hope it becomes viable.

Sounds neat. Wonder how viable it is at scale, or if it’s too good to be true and ends up being a white elephant?

Oh man this was my childhood. A physical copy would have blown my mind. Good luck to him sorting out the issues!

Also,

CNCDan says he’s currently looking for artists to help him with a hand-drawn re-creation of the original Space Cadet playfield, which he doesn’t want to use AI for. “I’m sure [AI] can do it, but I’d much rather give this job to a real human being,” he said in the video.

Good on him!

I seem to be having issues with list formatting. Neither bullet lists or number lists work for me, I have to manually type each number/hyphen.

Selecting an entire text list and pressing either of the list buttons in comment/post formatting only affects the first line.

Copying over a formatted list also seems to remove the formatting.

If they did win, the party would collapse within weeks, if not days lol. They apparently don’t do any actual candidate vetting, and do not have a good track record of keeping their elected parliamentarians in the party.

It would be absolute chaos and terrible for the country if they did manage to hold on though. They would not remotely be able to govern. Only silver lining is that they likely wouldn’t get anything past the senate, so their most harmful policies would not become law.

But it would be completely dysfunctional, and I’d very much worry about core public services being gutted.

Yeah I get you. They and their growing popularity are definitely a problem and a worry. But is it really surprising given the constant airtime they’re getting? Every day it seems like all media outlets are spotlighting them and discussing their polling.

I doubt they’d be doing nearly as well if media outlets treated and ignored them as the fringe lunatics they are.

It’s very frustrating.

I just need to find a quicker and easier way to pull this info for next time haha, it took way longer than I expected!

Will he come out bragging about how he’s absolutely aced the “cognitive assessment” (*cough*_ dementia screening test *cough*_) again?

They’ve definitely been getting more press and attention than they deserve. For all the pearl clutching in the media about One Neuron, they’re the ones giving them attention in the first place! Treat them for what they are, fringe lunatics to be ignored and chucked in the bin.
