Thing is lockdown and integrity checks are much stricter these days, and you can’t rely on these things to continue working either.

I’d have a backup phone to deal with id and banking.

I’m also a sw engineer so we’re both guessing 😅

I’m guessing those dates centers use that water for cooling whereas most home computers run an electric fan. And furthermore they probably use less electricity per token as they want to maximize profits. I don’t have any numbers to back my hunch up but I’m pretty sure the environment would suffer more if everyone is running their own.

I probably missed a lot of factors such as what type of energy the centers run contra what average Joe runs etc.

I’m not too big on these topics and would like to understand. Is a local model less resource intensive?

In my mind, if every gamer runs a model that must be less efficient than a centralised one that has the perfect hardware setup and only lends out the resources needed for each slime or whatever.

I’m thinking that it of course would be better with a dedicated slime model than the entire Gemini monster but why is local better?

Today, yes. And especially the shape of it. Just like with LLM the problem would be a lot smaller if it was done in moderation, withethical practices and the lives and well-being of those involved in mind.

Both meat and LLMs have use cases, and both needs to tone down on the shitty practices and world destroying emissions.

Of no, a nuanced and grounded take on LLMs! Everybody get your pitchforks and downdooters!

Just like the meat industry and large parts of commercial flight.

You are completely correct, and to be honest I’ve tested commercial product features in prod as well on teams that have the capacity to handle it and make a living on it, unlike this maintainer.

I’m also experimenting heavily with vibe coding and I think it has many uses for a seasoned programmer while getting a lot of flak.

Of course there are issues and problems with it, but for me it had been helping out a lot.

For sure, the song of the hero who fixed the production bug is oft sang at meetings but the loser who prevented the bug to begin with gets no credit.

Classic “test in production” strategy, very solid!

To be fair they would have needed to spend time testing the manual implementation as well.

The problem I see mainly is that even if this rolls out perfectly, the erratic and changing nature if llms still make it pointless as a proof of concept. Next time Claude might fuck up in a fringe way that’s not covered by unit tests and is missed by manual tests.

On the other hand I guess I’ve been guilty myself on numerous occasions to implement fringe bugs into production code, but at least I learn from it.

I find the repetitive demon portals boring and the story felt kind of meh. By far my least favourite tes game and I’ve been around since daggerfall.

But these days I try and stay clear of Bethesda, feels like they’ve outgrown their suit.

If anything this proves that the correlation between active gamer and competent gaming CEO might not be that strong with how awesome Xbox is currently.

If you have big hands consider a tenor. I had a concert for a long while until I tried a tenor and it get much better for me.

Yeah I get that they created roguelite for games that are based on rng runs and has some sort of async progression and I think that has become a pretty practical genre to categorize a wide array of hands that share those traits.

But roguelike should be kept to games like nethack, pixel dungeon etc that share the basic concepts of rogue.

Not the one you responded to but if I may hazard a guess I’d say they see non-voting as a protest against the two party representative democracy currently in place.

If you’re forced to vote and there is no blank alternative, you are being forced to legitimise it whether you like it or not.

I had a blast with populous and dungeon keeper. They’re not god given games with the best design ever but they’re good games with interesting quirks. The other two, not so much.

I was building a massive pipe systems for fish food and poo In a huge fish tank after my last session of factorio.

I’m thinking the steam frame will open up pc gaming on arm completely and enable devices like this to go full power.

Yeah, there would need to be a major player investing in this route, coupled with strong integrity checks, to force banks and identity apps to make a third version of their apps.

Been oogling necesse. Would’ve loved couch co-op with the kids. On a scale of 1 to terraria, how much do you enjoy it?
