I like Cyberpunk. Not as much as the Witcher 3 and I think that’s mostly because I didn’t like the npcs as much. Jackie is about the only one you have a positive relationship with and he’s gone in an instant.

Can you recommend any mods?

Community is and always has been important. The key is and airways has been your ability to effectively curate your community. It is a cesspool if and only if you lack that ability

Still a MS issue. Both testing and rollout procedures were inadequate

What? You don’t have Google? Options I know of (other than batteries and pumped hydro) : Compressed Air Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage, Fly wheels, Hydrogen, Supercapacitors, Gravitational Storage

No, you’re right. It’s not an option for everyone. Which is why I mentioned that there are many other solutions which are similar and over production which is simpler and cheaper

Pumped hydro? Or one of the many other non battery storage options, or just over production

Like every other nuclear power plant ever built

Nah renewables are the best we’ve got

I agree with the first part, not the second. All those black kids who end up in the military because of poverty are not all evil. But you’re right about the system so work to change that rather than damning a whole class of people.

Fuck people who make generalisations

We really are

Alternatively: MSs AI plans and the negative reaction to them has reduced their value cf Apple

Imo waterfall is an imagined beast for most software devs today. I worked on many successful waterfall projects. It was nowhere as bad as the caricature that people imagine.

I’m always sceptical about results like these. I was told that waterfall always failed when I’d worked on successful waterfall projects with no fails. The complaints about waterfall were exaggerated as I think are complaints about agile. The loudest complaints seem to always be motivated by people trying to sell sonething

There’s no contradiction there.

I DO expect better use from new technologies. I don’t expect technologies to do things that they cannot. I’m not saying it’s unreasonable to expect better technology I’m saying that expecting human qualities from an LLM is a category error

Why would anyone expect “nuance” from a generative AI? It doesn’t have nuance, it’s not an AGI, it doesn’t have EQ or sociological knowledge. This is like that complaint about LLMs being “warlike” when they were quizzed about military scenarios. It’s like getting upset that the clunking of your photocopier clashes with the peaceful picture you asked it to copy

This is so unlike MS /s

Always makes me laugh when the US pushes deregulation and small government on the rest of the world and then acts protectionist AF
