Mine experience is polo with non major brand logo and carrying a whole PC. If you come in a white work van, not a single person will question you, they will even open the door for you.

I used to do work at a high security site. One day the fire department was there for inspection. Out of curiosity I asked the chief what happens if he needs access and he is declined it for whatever reason. He pointed at the truck and said "This truck along with it's contents are the key to the city. Nobody can stop me". That day I learned that nobody can stop the fire department.

It is not machine learning and LLM that pisses off Lemmy users. Its the application of said technologies. I don't give a flying fuck what people are doing with ChatGPT, its novel. I want a generative AI that can help me code.

I have found this to be 100% true. That is why they don't have a grasp on that they are people with feelings.

Games take 3 to 5 years to develop and switching engines during development is a very poor decision. In two years you will see how many companies have moved on.

TLDR: All turbines on a electrical grid have to turn at the same speed. Hydro, Fossil fuels, Nuclear all use turbines. There is no way to dump energy into nothing to prevent the turbines from spinning too fast. So pure supply and demand capitalism is why we pay people to take our energy to allow our electrical devices to work.
