I get some vegeterian people visibily upset that I’m eating “their” food when they know I usually eat meat.

Unless you’re at a place where you’re literally taking physical food, leaving them none, that’s just moronic

It’s mostly an artefact from how we measure it.

Chocolate demand is rising, which means cocoa demand is rising. It grows best in really warm places, where there’s plenty of readily available mountainous land that’s currently covered by old growth forest. They farm cocoa very unsustainably, by illegally logging the land, growing beans for 5 to 8 years, and moving on (following the illegal loggers). We’ve decided to place the CO2 impact on the cocoa, not the wood though, probably due to lobbying.

That land use change drives climate impact of chocolate. Milk drives the rest.

Why the hell don’t they capture the methane and sell it?

It’s really hard. Most methane comes directly from the cow, and cows spend most of their time in air. The methane gets mixed in the air, in very small percentages. Extracting a small bit of methane from a lot of air is complex and energy Intensive, and methane is cheap.

So you’d spend a lot of money and power to produce very little money or power.

Yeah, but that’s mostly because it’s lumpsum. Over time, it’s not much at all.

When I calculate the “time of fun per euro spent” I’m always shocked how cheap videogames are. Even something like the new Doom, which is 70 euros for 16 hours of play, comes down to €4.40 per hour (or just under 14 minutes per euro). And we consider that ridiculously expensive for a “short” game.

Try doing anything for < €5 per hour.

Then I look at something like Warhammer total war, and I’m up to 132 minutes per euro spent

Signed, and why the hell isn’t this already a law?

“uhoh, we’re not popular enough to have our servers filled on beta weekend, so we won’t generate enough hype!”

The system works fine in, say, Conan, or Ark, or whatever survival game because those are small groups. If you’ve got thousands in a server, it’s going to be a mess.

Hell, even Ultima Online had the brains to keep player houses to specific areas. This is not a new problem.

Yeah, see, nothing in my hands, or up my sleeves!

Yeah, if you’re not running (at least) two clients, you’re playing eve wrong.

I wouldn’t mind a little rebalancing though. There were quite a few builds that were basically ultra-hard-mode to finish the game with. If you played suboptimal, you got soft locked pretty quickly.

I was one of those idiots who paid for the kickstarter, got some free ships, played the “game”… and then made quite a bit of money selling those ships and never looking at the game ever again.

without people scoffing like it can only copy-paste whole things that already exist?

I’m actually scoffing it’s not even capable of doing that very well.

It’s a pretty simple question though, it just requires sanitized training data. Don’t include Pacman code, and then ask it for that.

… damn, these results are shockingly good, for a robot being given several English sentences. For zero human effort being put in - these models reproduced all the basic functionality of the game in question?

Obviously not. The models were trained online, and that includes the code to hundreds of pacman clones on GitHub, all accompanies by the info in the prompt used.

Considering they had perfect training data, the output is shockingly bad

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

The only issue is saw with OpenRA’s engine was the odd unit pathing every now and then

It was pretty iffy in the original too

The US war of independence started mostly because super rich shipowners didn’t like the idea of tea not having to be transported to London first, but could come directly from India and Indonesia.

That would save a ton of money for the American colonists, but it would cut out all those wealthy shipowners (and smugglers) who ran the London-America routes.

So they lied to the people do their dirty work for them.
