Your statement is correct for the movies, but I think the extended universe (maybe a comic or the original script) did state the humans were used for compute, not energy. It was dumbed down for the films.

So we should let companies do what ever anti-consumer practices they want, because you don't like the group they are doing it to? Should a car company be allowed to charge you an extra fee every time you have a passenger?

Right now it's just a personal project. Will see if it actually helps me remember my Spanish, then I might release it.

I built a fully locally hosted language learner app. It build language lessons based on a 4 year college curriculum, using a local LLM, Qwen TTS, local STT, and comfyUI image gen. I formulates themed lessons, around 'interesting'

I disagree. Shipping has always been the fun part for me. I have been a DEEP engineer, and I love figuring out creative and deep optimizations, but writing them was never fun, designing them was. Writing the code has always been the least e

I get why they are mad, but I don't think I see a problem with the Qwen team doing this. I would say it's entirely on Anthropic to have better bot detection, or if they are paid accounts, Anthropic has even less of my concern.

Ok, what about a more direct take. Hello games made a game called No Man's Sky which has VERY heavy use of procedural generation. Same as Minecraft. If someone were to make the same games using genAi, would it be less impressive, even

I have built out several Amcrest systems. You have the many options for recording and access, that will allow remote access without going to the cloud.

Thank you for providing clarity where I did not.

Sorry, I sometimes forget the vernacular is not universal. The other sibling comment did provide the correct definitions.

For a service like AWS, 75 mins is going to result in a LOT of COE's for people on way it wasn't mitigated quicker. A Sev 1 like this has an SLA of 20 mins to mitigate impact. Writing about these failures will consume a dozen peop

The op clearly stated wear, not fuel. Hourly rates on a plane will have a maintenance reserve, from tens to hundreds of dollars per hour. This cost can not be shared by a pilot. If the plane is owned by an LLC, and rents the plane to the pi

Pretty good stuff! I took the opposite journey and started in games then went to big tech, though I have continued to stay with the game industry the whole time with an indie game company I run on the side. I did take up the challenge of tr

I felt the same way, which is why I made M.A.V. but it's PC only.

Talking to many CEO's of mid size companies, it seems to be an extension of point 2. They have received many tax incentives from the cities in which they are located, based on the employees they have there. With WFH, the cities are thr

I am happy to see progress in the right direction, but I can't help but feel the 11th hour was sometime in the 80's.

I feel personally called out, as this was very much my path. However, I did continue to train my engineering skills and would be very embarrassed if any of the senior engineers in my team didn't think I had the same technical skills as

I rarely comment on things and I am now being reminded why. I think people are also making the wrong assumption that it's an obligation. It's a recommendation I make to engineers. It just so happens they all see the value and do i

I think people are making many assumptions about my overall management style based on my process for a very small aspect of the job. While I joke about being a lazy manager, I do not agree I am uninformed. I have ~20 hours of 1:1s per week.

1. Yes, people can skip it. I can never force someone to do this and it's typically something only career driven engineers want to participate. I do have an 80% volunteer participation rate in my current team. 2. I need the details bec

I very much could, but again, I am a lazy manager. Not even trying to convey sarcasm there. I do believe them doing the work is important to point 1., putting them in-control. The most important part of my job is setting them up to succeed.

I am a lazy manager then. The problem is context. I ask all my engineers to self track accomplishments for several reasons: 1. It puts them in control. If they want to leave the team, they have a handy list to hand to their new manager righ

Funny enough, after moving back to Texas from out of the country in which my Texas drivers license expired by 6 months, I was required to take both a written AND a practical driving test. Keep in mind I was nearly 40 years old and had a val

Typically your single piston GA flight will be operating in very different airspace than a 200 seat airline. Just as you can't take a single piston pilot and put in as the pilot in command of a 200 person airliner, ATC personal are not

Always good to see more game engines coming out. Might I make a suggestion though. For your hero video on the site, I would expect it to be showing off the multiplayer aspect of the engine. Rendering environments, even in extreme detail, is

As someone that has worked within one of these orgs, it's because the recommendation system has been captured by contract negotiations and forced merchandising. You are not seeing things they think you would like. You are seeing the th

I read your answer before commenting and didn't think you were so much wrong, but dangerously close to right, just off slightly. Interesting enough, each studio and sometimes even each operator, will have their own preferred marker pla
