I doubt anywhere in the world has an electrical utility designed to support paying for users to produce solar. Folks seem to think it should be 1 to 1 on what you produce should equal whatever you would have paid, ignoring all the other maintenance, redundancy and load balancing the utility has to provide.

Between solar and something like localized battery storage to handle usage surges we could probably handle it better now, but I don’t think anyone is building that kind of system.

The main engineers buildings this stuff are millionaires. They’ve been making probably $400k on the low end and we know of salaries over a million on the high end.

Still not enough to survive an actual world collapse though.

If they can make VR as good as modded Skyrim with physics and whatnot it would be amazing! Would need a crazy system to run that though.

Oh yeah I heard nothing but bad things in release. Like every other game these days, it pays to wait a year or two.

Cyberpunk is in great shape now and after the Phantom Liberty expansion I am eager for more.

I’ve sunk tons of hours in that game doing typical GTA mindless stuff. What part is supposed to be unfinished?

Still worthwhile for older posts. Limit responses to 3+ years old and they’re pretty good

Report them to the department of labor. They owe you pay and if they did it to you they’re doing it to others too.

Yeah fixing that one problem isn’t an issue. It’s that the fix probably affects some other service. When you’re dealing with a bunch of integrated systems, some of which are over a decade old, bugs aren’t just fixing a few lines of code in your part and calling it good.

I’m sure it can be useful for smaller self contained projects. A lot cheaper and easier to review the AIs changes on those too.

For my projects, finding the cause of a bug is rarely a problem once it’s reported. It’s fixing it in a way that doesn’t negatively impact things upstream or downstream that’s a pain.

How’s AI supposed to help when we’ve got to negotiate with several other stakeholders on what changes we’re going to make?

Forgot about those parts. When I think Buckhead I think of the area near the mall. When I think rich and too afraid of the poors for even Alpharetta, I think John’s creek.

Isn’t that John’s Creek?

I think you’re seriously overestimating many of the people hired and told to produce code.

Yeah that’s a nice idea but so is parents being able to provide food and shelter for their children. However, most counties in the world have social services because we recognize what should happen and what actually happens don’t always overlap and we don’t want to starve kids for their parents failings.

Once you accept some parents either won’t or in many cases can’t, the question is what you value more: the kids in those situations or the companies profiting off the parents failures.

Plus YouTube is an easy example. There are thousands of other websites that have much worse. Making the websites themselves responsible for flagging the domain puts the onus on those most likely to have the technical know how rather than those more likely to be ignorant.

The hell are you talking about? Yes there are blocklists for adult domains, but that doesn’t actually block adult content since it leaves stuff like YouTube open. If you think there isn’t full on sex on there then you’ll be surprised.

The only thing that functions right now is whitelisting and it is super annoying since so many apps open a web container inside the app. All this id verification is nonsense, but providing an actually filtered internet is still nigh impossible for parents who aren’t tech savvy.

And no amount of performance improvements is going to change the minds of those people. Either they’ll finally try electric and realize how great they are or eventually die out. Either way ICE is going to be the oddity one day.

Yeah but I’m not even talking budget gear from this generation. Heck used 3080s go for as low as 350 on eBay and those are still great and those will let you play 1440p on high, far from the minimum you need to play these days.

Admittedly I have no idea of the price for used laptops or full systems.

Tell me you didn’t read my post without replying without…you know. Where did I mention new anywhere? Yes, bubbles ruin the price on the latest and greatest. We’ve been dealing with it since crypto. However, we don’t NEED the latest and greatest anymore and haven’t for years.

Despite the bubble, this is still a better time when it comes to ability to play awesome games for cheap than ever before.

Bah these articles are trash. I’ve got a 5 year old PC ands still playing games on high. For console, Switch games and even DS are still great portable and multiplayer options.

Gaming is cheaper than ever because we’ve got a massive backlog of great games that you’d never catch up on even if you did nothing but game all day. Plus stuff more than a few years old gets CHEAP!

I wouldn’t mind upgrading, but even if something dies I can buy a used replacement and keep going until this bubble pops.

Can they even code them to do that? They’ve struggled so much with the em-dash and never managed to block Disneys characters so I figure they can’t do it 100% of the time even if they want to.

If you pay for them via Openrouter or something then you’ve got an enormous window to work with. Gets more and more expensive as the history increases though.
