Old enough that game consoles don’t exist, but young enough to be protected by child labor laws.

7·12 hours agoEven if it wasn’t an LTS thing, ‘dated’ means nothing to Linux. Stability but with security fixes is the real win. There’s a hell of a lot of room in the Windows install-base for “needs an os that’s not spying on them, but realistically just uses a web browser.”
Remember when nobody had any computers and we would just go over to each others houses and get kicked out by their parents because there was nothing to so we’d ride our bikes around on roads that were too busy and go places we shouldn’t be?
That entire fucking add was just lazily written by an AI.
“Developer” can’t be bothered to add "don’t to use emoji or bullet points in prompts and dont add a summary and def don’t add a second summary at the end?
I would think that one of these European datacenters could manage to raise a control plane providing cheap load balancers and stand up some file/data clusters. It can’t be THAT hard to compete with amazon

4·3 days agounfortunately the game industry is full of that crap, that’s why unions are starting to pop up.
It’s basically contract gigs. Someone has a hit on their hands, so they have unlimited cash to get it out the door, someone else’s title does poorly in focus groups, they companies just shed their mid tier workers and they hop company to company
^^^ This is exactly how it works.
You ‘can’ bootstrap an indie with an Artist and a Dev, but they need to be the best ever at their job and be able to wear a ton of hats, work for nothing and somehow manage to never burn out. The vast majority of games that run that way never see the light of day.
Check out Camelot Unchained.
it can happen, but it can go very very wrong.
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: It’s like a 1:100 shot to make something even remotely profitable. You need to pay a team of people (with families sometimes) enough money to eat/pay rent/live long enough to release a game, which could be a year or two. Even with good management and a decent designer it’s a roll of the dice.
All the venture switched over to AI. Nobody wants to fund new studios. Games are brutal, only one in a massive pile ever become profitable. Gamedev is roughly full time work, but they still need to eat.
It’s messy, there are a lot of people laid off, but also there are a lot of companies snatching up talent. I know some games people that have been laid off three times in the past 2 years :/
1·3 days agoNah, still good news. Getting off OJ style would be really good news, baby steps.
There was some woman that tried it
they’re not a reliable choice.
According to body camera footage, Grayson and sheriff’s Deputy Dawson Farley, who was not charged, searched Massey’s yard before meeting her at her door. Massey appeared confused and repeatedly said, “Please, God.” The deputies entered her house, Grayson noticed the pot on the stove and ordered Farley to move it. Instead, Massey went to the stove, retrieved the pot and teased Grayson for moving away from “the hot, steaming water.” From this moment, the exchange quickly escalated. Massey said: “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson drew his sidearm and yelled at her to drop the pan. She set the pot down and ducked behind a counter. But she appeared to pick it up again. That’s when Grayson opened fire on the 36-year-old single mother, shooting her in the face. He testified that he feared Massey would scald him. Grayson was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, which could have led to a life sentence, but a jury convicted him of the lesser charge. Illinois allows for a second-degree murder conviction if evidence shows the defendant honestly thought he was in danger, even if that fear was unreasonable.
That’s a pretty fucked up situation. Would have been nice if they would have just left.
There has to be more to it than the article quotes,
Good perf per watt, but super expensive, walled garden, internally spying and nearly unrepairable.
I’ve never heard of them. They look kinda neat, you’re still paying the processor fees, but they can save you a few percent.
Ohh, i fully agree. but the second someone does a convincing fake of him saying stuff that would make him big mad, he’ll go off and start denouncing AI :)
The post itself is just clickbait, but legal consequences are not all that clear. It’s honestly mostly about intent.
Here’s a case where a guy’s mailbox kept getting run over so he rebuilt it with a railroad tie and an 8" pipe burried 3 ft in the ground packed with concrete, and the guy who smashed it destroyed his car and paralyzed himself. https://www.courtnewsohio.gov/cases/2021/SCO/1124/201057.asp#.YaUu6xZOnDs
It went all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court where they found with a lack of intent to harm, the owners were not at fault, but that’s a near miss. He said he filled the 8" post with dry concrete mix so if it rained it might ‘firm up’ which is sus and then buried it 36" in the ground testifying he was confident it would ‘lay over’ if struck. I’m not saying he wasn’t morally in the right, but there’s no way those to statements were factual accounts of how that went down. of course, the driver seeing an 8" post under a mailbox would have been equally insane trying to run through it. I’m thinking with a different set of lawyers, intent wouldn’t have been all that hard to prove.
Also, could you imagine needing to employ a lawyer through several court cases, an appeal, and ultimately state supreme court hearings to keep from being responsible.
