I’m looking for other complex open world games that throw you into the deep end without any explanation, and are completely unforgiving when you make mistakes.

UnReal World? It's never really grabbed me when I've tried it, personally, but it might be up your alley.

Kenshi has a pretty difficult start, though it gets easier later in the game. I don't think that it's as complex.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is quite complex and has a very steep learning curve, with a lot of hidden stats and the like and limited documentation.

The vast majority of street parking is free, but there never seem to be enough spots.

So add off-street parking in multi-story parking garages and have a fee on that.

It looks like there is pretty decent multistory parking garage coverage in Manhattan. It's just not free

it's actually pretty pricy, as parking garage rates go

and the street parking is. Unless there are zoning restrictions preventing construction of more of it, though I mean...that's probably just part of driving in a very-high-density city.

According to my other link, 10 D batteries.

I'd imagine that one might be better off using a lithium-ion power station with an inverter and just using the power cable.

Apparently, they were pretty expensive when new.

The suburbs may have seen the music players of choice — Sony Walkmen and other gizmos of that ilk — growing smaller and smaller, but in the cities, on the streets, size was king. And there was no music player bigger and badder than the Conion C-100F, an off-brand Japanese-made boombox that sold for $450 or so in 1985 (about $1,100 in 2020 money).

It's actually probably a pretty potent lever from the Trump administration. My guess is that Anthropic might be able to sue and win. But...that will take time. They have an IPO coming up, and the last thing they want is going to be this hanging over it.

It's an argument in favor of having more checks on the Executive, I'd say.

Your statement was about 60%. Median was the correct value to cite.

60% live on $40k or less

Median household income was $83,730 in 2024

He just licenses his name to these things. He doesn't manufacture all these "Trump" products.

I use Emacs plus LaTeX to author stuff.

If I gotta read Office documents, then LibreOffice.

This doesn't seem like a fantastic strategy for Russia, seeing as Russia's GNSS system is also probably subject to jamming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EKS_(satellite_system)

In a report published in June 2026, researchers identified three satellites from the EKS constellation as a source of space-based GNSS interference, such as GNSS jamming. Beginning in 2019, the researchers tracked powerful wide-area interference from the satellites over Europe, Greenland, and Canada. Significant interference was detected with the US American GPS, European Galileo, and Chinese BeiDou satellite networks, but interference was minimal on Russia's own GLONASS network[27][28][29].

Any one of those parties might decide to reciprocate.

The Home Office and MHCLG were involved in the controversial planning decision to approve the new Chinese embassy earlier this year. The i Paper revealed in January 2025 that the Royal Mint Court site sits close to fibre-optic cables carrying vast quantities of highly sensitive data from the City of London. The proximity sparked concern among Britain’s intelligence services that the cables could be vulnerable to attack, and used by Beijing to infiltrate the UK’s financial system.

Mandate that all the traffic on the things run through an encrypted pipe. If it's a serious threat, it should be addressed regardless of whether China sets up an embassy atop them or not.

Maybe some HFT people want to minimize latency, but if everyone has to be encrypted, it establishes a floor on the race to the bottom.

A federal judge in Mississippi has punished all four lawyers on opposing sides in a civil trial and canceled the proceedings after some of them, relying on artificial intelligence, cited fake legal cases in court filings.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/us/ai-lawyers-sanctioned-mississippi.html

In an order filed on Monday, Sharion Aycock, a senior U.S. District Court judge, wrote that the four lawyers had violated Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure when they certified that the information in their filings was factual.

I think one concerning thing is that this is the easiest thing to check. I mean, at some point, I assume that someone is going to rig something up to LexisNexis to actually validate the existence of cited cases, because that's pretty simple and mechanical. Heck, even those lawyers, even if they don't have any tech people at their fingertips, could have had a paralegal check citations or something. It really shouldn't be that fundamentally hard for a lawyer to avoid getting in trouble for this specific issue, even if they generated the text with an LLM.

My bigger concern is that if lawyers are willing to put stuff like this out, they're presumably also willing to put out information that hasn't been checked where the errors are subtler and it's harder to find erroneous material. In the case of citing nonexistent cases, it's really easy to say "the lawyer clearly didn't even look at this", because it's hard to make that kind of error if you have read over it. This is, once highlighted, flagrant and obvious. But...there's potential for subtler errors, where it's harder to tell whether the lawyer did at least try to review the material and just made a basic error, and thus it's harder to impose punishments for it.
