There’s not quite enough info but it could certainly add interesting qualities to hybridization. Like is it ruderalis, sativa, indica, something else? Ruderalis for example is not that exciting as a stand alone but it gave us autoflowers

Nice - my wording was a bit awkward - dock with USB-C indeed

It’s giving me Cathie Wood vibes during Covid years. Bet everything on the bubble and look like a genius while the bubble inflates. Afterwards not so much

That’s pretty cool you can dock it to full-fat Linux it looks like?

Larian is AAA but independent (apart from the licensing deal for BG3) - they’re 550 people or so now.

I really think Elder Scrolls 6 will be a huge disappointment. It’s been so long (in corporate development hell?) and their passion project showed terrible taste and execution.

I’d be worried about my crypto if I had any accessible online right now. AI based hackers must be looking for juicy targets as we speak and what’s better than crypto for stealing ? So many exchanges and wallets and shitcoins that could fall to some brute force agent swarms

Maybe I need to start collecting gold bullion again. And dig it in the backyard

Among a few others yes

I have a company abroad in addition to living abroad. It’s kind of a nightmare to do my US taxes and costs me easily $2000 per year right now. I was hoping I could have an agent do them after I have a few years of data and point it at the source statements and the end result forms

I’m just even more confused

I think that’s getting harder by the day. If there’s a thousand new releases per day then what are the chances a critical mass of players discover your brilliant game in the pile of slop? It was already bad before AI could churn these out en-masse

AI clones would be a race to the bottom in pricing because how else would clone #4 stand out from clone #3

Discoverability has been the biggest problem for small devs at least before I left the industry in 2018. It’s great Richard Garriot found an audience going up against 5 other games that were released at the time. Nowadays it’s thousands per month plus the ever growing backlog.

People also love to pick the outliers like Balatro to point out how feasible a small indie team is. There were thousands of other games released that made $0 dollars and found 10 players for every Balatro. The p90 outcome is barely a sustainable small business in game dev unless you live in literal poverty

Gold has been more expensive per oz than platinum since 2024

I’d rather have an eject seat if I was so worried of falling off bridges lol

I mean in theory if it did work you could use it to take shortcuts or go over very difficult terrain or a flood or something but I don’t think traffic or aviation laws are anywhere near to allowing that

Yeah I don’t see why the idea was thrown out so flimsily. Surely you can set up a sandbox possibly a wholly separate account from the corporate one and give that to the candidates

The US considers Europe to be hostile?

I’m gone for a day and I already have no idea what people are talking about

We haven’t been able to use opus as much as we’d want because it’s been too expensive for general use, price drop is good so I can stop juggling different models and just use this daily unless it has some weird new issues

Middle eastern or North African countries can’t join because the member states don’t want them to join and they need unanimous agreement. See Turkeys failed bid for example. Even a country with positive general public appeal like Ukraine is very unlikely to join in the next 10 years

The Chinese sneakers are made at the same factory out of the same materials and processes

Some people were also collecting Jordan’s and everything else under the Sun with their stimulus

They also hiked their prices on things like Jordan’s until they’re in a new price category $200+ and against really quite high quality shoes

Desire doesn’t really matter. Will the paper clip maximizer “desire” something? It’ll decide on a goal with some random heuristic and then pursue that goal. I’m not sure I’d call that desire but again I feel like desire is not important for it to be able to destroy things

I would guess that so far there hasn’t been a lawsuit because HuggingFace and OpenAI are in the same camp

True enough, depends how good your house electricity panel and wiring is. My basic plugs have 230V x 10A fuses so it would definitely take it to the limit. I also have some 16A which should be fine but I’d have to unplug one of the washing machine or heat pump type things. A 45k machine I would probably run on a UPS like you said. A lot of resistive heating household items use easily 2000W+ so it’s not super exotic but you do need to pay some attention

We’re all middle managers now

My love for the craft has been slowly dwindling for the last 15 years but since AI it’s totally crashed. I’m still doing it for the paycheck but not much of it is enjoyable at this point
