Attached to: Videogame Stocks Slide On Google's AI Model That Turns Prompts Into Playable Worlds
I feel like playing with AI is going to be something that replaces games, not something that generates them.

10% is probably less than FBs global headcount reduction.

Because git still doesn't have proper pull request support.

Most bureaucracy exists for its own sake. If you get too efficient at doing pointless tasks, management will see that as a sign that they need to invent some new BS. This is why MS Office is the cornerstone of corporate culture. Many have pointed out that it would be much faster to send an email instead of an hour long Teams meeting, or exchange plaintext notes instead of having to use some weird Word template. But enterprise uses Office because the whole point of bureaucracy is to waste your time.

This is actually bad for gamers. The bottleneck is how many chips TSMC can make, new designs aren't going to change that. But at least with GPUs you will be able to buy them on the cheap once the bubble bursts, while inference chips will end up in a landfill. Now some of these chips are just generic systolic arrays doing matrix multiplication which could have uses in a desktop, but you would need to get drivers for it somehow and also no software is going to support them.

Even if we can't resurrect the entire animal, if we can produce muscle cells we can create lab meat. I want my mammoth burger.

Even the US is boarding oil tankers instead of sinking them, that would be an ecological disaster.

With the explosion of delivery, postal services should be swimming in cash. Sounds to me like the profitable bits were sold off while the taxpayers end up paying for the rest.

Looks like we have to throw ever greater amounts of compute and energy on AI for smaller and smaller gains. At what point will it stop making sense?

Attached to: Riot Games Is Making an Anti-Cheat Change That Could Be Rough On Older PCs
Let's stop pretending this has anything to do with cheating. The cat and mouse game has been going on for decades, yet there are more cheaters than ever. Cheating is impossible to stop on the user side, there are always going to be workarounds like players building a literal robot to move the mouse. But there is one way that can actually prevent cheating, in fact we've known about it for as long as games existed: playing with people you know and trust. Except you can't, because games don't have directIP and LAN modes anymore. Which makes it pretty clear that game devs don't actually give a fuck about preventing cheating, "anti-cheat" is just a rebranding of DRM.

Putting pressure only on the automakers was a bad idea. Force every parking lot to have chargers, and every fuel station to have fast chargers, problem solved.

Attached to: Electricity Is Now Holding Back Growth Across the Global Economy
Silicon prices never fully recovered from COVID, so companies will want to run their compute 24/7 to recoup the upfront cost. This is unfortunately true for most industrial processes. For example, there were experiments for using sunlight concentrated with mirrors as an industrial heat source, but it's just not economical to only run your expensive facility when the sun is shining.

That's not an argument they will be able to make once they block sideloading.

It's more complicated than that. Sans serif is usually better for people with failing eyesight, while serif fonts are better for dyslexics. You can't please everybody. Well, I guess you could use HTML so that people can overwrite the font with user styles.
