Good read. The Brussels effect seems to be facing the same problems the rest of the EU is facing - increased pressure from the outside.
On the tech side I think it's mostly that tech giants can now use the US as an instrument to apply pressure more than it is EU regulatory overreach on AI. Yeah, the EU has failed to manifest their own tech giants, but I'd argue this is a good thing because holy shit the tech giants are a cancerous blob on society.
Electric car industry wants more electric cars. Not a huge surprise. Good point though, investments have been made on the background of the EU not backing out.
Yeah, there's an analysis by an expert on the article. Says the mention is remarkable, but to be expected. I mean, it would be a statement in itself to not mention the giant pink elephant in the room.
Paradox owns the world of darkness ip entirely right now. I wonder if this call to refocus their efforts on their core competencies will mean selling it off.
They haven't done too well with it. They've released several games and I think some solo dev interactive fiction have been the only ones getting positive reviews: Earthblood, Swansong, Bloodhunt, and now Bloodlines 2 have all done pretty poorly. Even the tabletop RPG has seen better days, with 5th edition causing quite the controversy, mostly with Werewolf. Hell they closed White Wolf down for a while because the books caused controversy.
I played pretty much the same way De_Narm did. I tried caring less, though because I had no idea what would come next, it inevitably descended into spaghetti. I am stressed out about technical debt enough at work to be playing a technical debt simulator lol.
Dedicating the space needed to expand, ensuring everything you build is scalable, inevitably requires you to know a lot about what's coming.
Yeah, if you know what you're doing you can avoid these issues. I did not enjoy myself in the slightest, so after some hours of giving it a chance I decided that learning how to avoid these issues was not worth the pain. I'll just stick to work instead.
I feel vindicated. I have the exact same feeling of factorio feeling too much like work, having to refactor everything because the requirements change is one of the more frustrating parts of software engineering imo, and the game feels tailored specifically to invoke that frustration.
I imagine that part gets better after the first hundred hours where you basically know what's coming. I don't have the patience to learn the tech tree though, given that I don't even enjoy the game.
Nice. Hope they can keep it up, even if the new oil drilling going on makes one sceptical. Of course while there is a demand for oil there'll be a big incentive to drill, we really need to wean ourselves off the dead dino goop soon.
I mean, yeah. The splats are not made to be balanced between each other. The themes that each splat is about are wildly different as well.
It's neat the mechanics allow cross play between the games though. The world would strangely feel smaller if they normalized the power scale across every game line.
Typically satellites have beams they turn on and off to service different areas, with one beam pointing towards the RAN that receives the data rather than just repeating a broadcast out to everywhere the satellite can theoretically reach. For mobile telecom backhaul via satellite it is standardized that the data should be encrypted for untrusted transport links so this seems to me like an issue of not following specs.
I feel these kinds of protection, against suicidal language etc, will just lead to even further self-censorship to avoid triggering safeguards, similar to how terms like unalive gained traction.
AI should be regulated, but forcing them to do corpospeech and be 'safe' even harder than they already do in order to protect vulnerable children is not the way. I don't like that being the way any tech moves and is a part of why I'm on Lemmy in the first place.
The character.ai case the article mentioned already was the ai failing to 'pick up on' (yes I know that is anthropomorphizing an algorithm) a euphemism for suicide. Filters would need to be ridiculous to catch every suicidal euphemism possible and lead to a tonne of false positives.
I haven't been actively job searching lately, but based on the recruiters cold contacting me about job offers I'd say no, I don't recognize this at all.
Steam vr sucks. I got Monado working alright with a bunch of fiddling around, though I don't use fbt so no idea how well that part works. I'm using an index btw.
Only unsolved issue I have is that I can't get steam vr to update my base stations.
Nfts were funny. Beyond the JPEG stupidity they were all just a solution that was so desperately searching for a problem to solve, and every time it turned out to be a massively more expensive way of doing things we can already do without nfts.
