Not for anything serious though.
Has the genre really faded? Larian seems to have done quite well with BG3 and the Divinity predecessor games. Owlcat games with Pathfinder series and Rogue trader has also done well.
I would have much rather Bioware tried to do a similar last hurrah with an isometric RPG or any RPG for that matter. I suppose they have, with Andromeda, but that is 9 years old already.
Ultimately, I think Bioware's problem is much simpler - the greatest talent has already left by the time Andromeda released, and the leftovers were too busy checking boxes on corporate cultural requirements rather than making an actual game.
There was probably a huge cultural shift in the years that followed the EA purchase, which was already a decade before Andromeda. Frankly I struggle to justify Bioware's relevance after the ME Trilogy was concluded. I could not get into a single one of their games past that, started a few, but never finished.
If someone is willingly engaging with the latter things in your post, that's not an argument to burn down the entire thing along with the good things.
I'd wager a hefty sum that most newspapers in say 1890 were also absolute garbage filled with drivel and advertisements, but that doesn't mean they weren't useful or that the average person had to read them page to page.
We are all going to be victims of this cohort. These are people who will be unable to integrate into society due to lack of basic competency skills.
I doubt their reading skills are much better.
What? No it isn't. Baking something in an oven could take as much as 5kWh.
That's a lot of energy for 1 day.
In fact when the AC isn't running during mild weather months (September/May), cooking is probably the majority (50%+) of my home's electric use (resistive stovetop).
Representatives like high employment in their districts and employees of X like high salaries. It's an incentive-compatible equilibrium.
I guess at least it's capped somewhat? Is there more background preceding this legislation?
This seems as ridiculous as having 1TB internet caps for residential ISPs in 2026.
That is a strictly worse system than displaying BSOD information right away, which lets you diagnose it immediately, it's a downgrade, which is what this entire thread is about.
Is it more than a rounding error amongst ALL (active/passive) traders?
Obviously your marketing team is going to use the Pareto frontier where your model has improved the most and compares favorably against competitors.
Just because we ponder about our output and choices and retrospect does not in itself mean that it was non-deterministic.
> what do we do about them as a society?
Same thing we do now - some are on welfare, some are homeless and some are in prisons.
Ideally we can be more compassionate towards these people without also placing a huge tax burden on everyone else.
Now I'm not saying we should generate as much as humanly possible, because even with renewables that has a cost.
And some things have gotten genuinely more efficient (compare modern heat pumps to heating available in 1968).
But why shouldn't we maintain the levels our parents enjoyed? And use the extra capacity if anything for EVs, grid stabilization, medical research, etc.
So population degrowth is a pretty separate issue.
Everything else is completely negligible.
You'd be surprised. People aware of such nuances are usually a very small minority in any room.
I have some friend circles where upwards of 50% people do this.
To be fair it is far less prevalent outside of the US thank god.
Or maybe not, but the bar was set pretty low that going all-in on AI might have been worth it.
> - In March 1942, 80% of Holocaust victims were still alive and by February 1943 80% were dead.
Makes sense. A couple of things happened: 1942 Wannsee Conference in January 1942 - which I assume took some time during 1942 to get into motion.
Germany started losing, they realized they did not have the logistics to feed additional millions of people in the occupied territories.
It's just that breaking up large companies has taken a very distant back seat to imposing "good for the consumer on the surface, but actually a moat" type regulations.
One thing I found out is that normies really don't care about their usernames. They fundamentally don't understand the need for pseudonymity on the internet, so they are okay with whatever the website assigns to them.
It's just a little bit of extra friction to them to start sharing their opinions on the site.
The underlying fundamentals did not change since 2008. If Solar was good/viable back then, it can only get better if it got cheaper over time.
Same goes for the nuclear debate. Nuclear was losing back then, and now it has finally lost absolutely.
You gain ~0.7 VMAF score (both above 90) and save 33% bandwidth at the cost of 3.2x longer encoding for (presumably) some set of 1080p clips used in testing.
You just patch and redeploy.
You can't solve incentive-incompatibility with technology.
It's actually not there. See how many websites have now closed doors or ceased to operate because of constantly being hammered and bombarded by robotic scrapers. For others, it made websites that turned a small profit into unsustainable money pits.
Sure, their content might now be ingested into an LLM training set sitting somewhere on proprietary servers. But the site itself (the origin of truth) now does not exist.
So no. It actually isn't there. Resting on this falsehood, the rest of your retort makes not much sense.
We use it as emergency shelter and camping supplies storage on his rural land.
The major pain of shipping containers is transporting it to its place of destination and not having the local municipality throw a fit about it (they really don't like unpermitted stuff).
Renting one for such long term seems like 10x worse than renting an internet router.
This is the cornerstone that all society rests upon. If a person argues that there is no such obligation, they do not understand the social dynamics of a civilization and you can be sure you're dealing with a sociopath.
Up to the social media era was a nice intersection between a good amount of content, good quality, and enough people to where you could legitimately find a community for almost any niche.
