Vertical farming is just not viable for low value crops. Compare it to traditional farming where you’ve got: - free water from rain - free energy from the sun - dirt that’s just there which you put the seeds in With vertical farming you hav

I don't see anything wrong with this. Every update adds a bunch of new code and features to your phone that you don't even get to look at, does it matter if they add something which you can see?

Why does YouTube allow people to access it in Albania? Surely if a country doesn't let you make money from your service you'd withdraw from it, or possibly require Albanians to pay for YouTube premium to access it.

20 years ago people said “It’s all over for artists. You don’t even need to practice at it, you just press a few buttons in Photoshop and get a better result.” And 100 years ago they said “It’s all over for art, all you need to do is press

Would this be any worse with generative AI though? You'd just be replacing the images from Google with images from Stable Diffusion. You couldn't let AI generate the code for it because you'd have to actually check that it su

You couldn't make an entire game without those skills. In 10-20 years? Maybe. But at the moment unless you know how to code you'll have a million compiler errors and no game as the LLM hallucinates half the engine functions and gi

I think that games are a medium where it's a lot harder to flood a store with garbage, since you've got to go through and actually make the game. There are plenty of shovelware games on Steam already but they're using marketp

Is working on Godot really this bad? I've never used it but the worst I can think of it is that people constantly recommend it no matter what you want to do. Open-world RPG? Godot. AAA graphics? Godot. etc. The writer describes himself

That's not 1% of fliers representing half the flights though, I think it's more like 10% - it's saying that 1% of the entire world population causes it and only 11% of the world actually flies once a year.

Sure, here's my writeup about it: https://jgibbs.dev/blogs/local-llm-npcs-in-unreal-engine . There's barely any performance hit, only a slight hitch when it starts generating a response.

There is for whichever company wants to make use of it - say for example LLM-powered NPCs in singleplayer video games (which I'm working on) - pretty much economically unviable with the current model if you want to run everything on th

I don't think a single one of those sentences makes any sense at all, except for HTML5 being very secure, which is trivially obvious since it's not even a programming language.

GTA 5 sold 190 million copies and ChatGPT has 180 million users, I think Rockstar would run into problems procuring the number of cloud GPUs that could actually handle something like that.

I don’t know, they’d really have to bank on it being viable to run an LLM and speech generator at the same time without it impacting the game’s performance. You’d have those two components, plus rendering the game itself all running on the
