Manage various scientific software things for academia and industry, but still muck in at the codeface. PhD not MD. Retro before it was retro, care too much about old British games/hardware. #nobridge please, we're British

Anatoly Shashkin💾RIP Rebecca Heineman.
I don't even know which notable games of hers to pick because her list of credits is a mile long. She was a very online-present person, and was always there to patiently answer questions of random internet nerds such as myself, and was always nice about it. She will be missed.

Jason ScottI have an opportunity for an incredible leap in digitization capability for $1000. If I can get $1000 by one or multiple people, a process that is planned for years will spike downward to a huge degree. Sorry to be mysterious. Email me if you have a sack of cash you want to do something very good.
Ok, asking the hive mind. If a certain person with an unhealthy ALG obsession was wanting to make a multicab out of his vast collection of Digital Leisure Windows ports, what's the best lightgun solution?
These are mouse controlled, so I would effectively be using the gun as an analogue controller, and I need only trigger and some sort of external reload.
I know of the Sinden, and I've seen this G'AIM'E mini console thing, but that looks tied to their hardware, not universal.

John Carlos BaezHey, Anthropic owes me $9000! They illegally used at least 3 of my books on LibGen to create Claude. Now they're paying a $1.5 billion settlement, at $3000 per book. See if *your* books are on the list:
https://www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/
If so, you have until March 23, 2026 to file a claim. The above website lets you file a claim, but this one explains everything more clearly:
Actually I exaggerated: the payment will be split between authors and publishers, but I have to make the claim - so the settlement is making me do some work my publisher should be doing for me. My coauthors and I will just get half, $4500. One of these books has 2 coauthors, one has 3, and one is a book I edited, with essays by lots of authors. So $1000 is a more realistic estimate of what I get. Oh well.
Bizarrely, my most popular book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, is not on the list. But I guess it's not surprising:
"The settlement agreement discloses that approximately 500,000 titles out of the 7 million copies of books that Anthropic reportedly downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi meet the definition required to be part of the class."
Only books whose copyright is registered with the US Library of Congress meet that defiinition!
If you have a book on the list, you can opt out of the current settlement and join future lawsuits. But you have to take action to do that!!! For more information on that, see item 40 here:
it keeps turning out to be a mistake to put one third of the internet in one building
