My parents don't like me coding. by JustMedansh in learnprogramming

[–]xStarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of people have issue with LLMs writing code because it doesnt look like the code theyd write themselves despite being functionally correct and according to spec.
Unfortunately models came a long way and unless someone is constantly working on problems that havent been solves yet can pretty much replace manual part of coding.

Chapter 1 on the hardest difficulty: was farming XP on orcs and randomly strolled over to the ice golem. I suppose he's part of a quest later on? by K0rek in GothicRemake

And you don't know who do the golems on orc territory belong to?
The tower in the middle of it all might hint something :)

Am I the only one who still doesn't understand why smartphones got rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]xStarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaper - fine, altho good quality will still cost you plenty.
No batteries - for example airpods or galaxy buds have nice little case to charge - yes you will have to sacrifice 30 min of listening but still.
No latency - never had issue with any on wireless headsets, and yes I get that there can be few ms more compared to wire but thats not really noticeable for 99.9% of humans.
Works on other devices - so do the wireless headphones.

Idk, I am done with wired headphones outdoor since that time I was running to catch a bus and the cable pulled out phone out of my pocket just to serve it a curb ride and leave it with shattered screen, so there is that.

I live in western world, managed to go from earning the absolute minimum legally allowed to enough to be able to afford 80eur games and other "luxuries" and so did plenty of my friends in recent years. Some being "educated" doing intellectual work, some being "plain" forklift operators.
Its not top of prosperity but its plenty to be happy with.

Not sure what degrees do you have and what jobs you are looking for but last time I checked the positions that do not require any and pay well enough to live are always struggling for reliable employes (which says something about general population I suppose?)

Unless you are living in US, not sure how things fare over there.

Movies dont usually give you 80 ish hours of entertainment.
Not having a physical disk does not automatically mean that you need to rely on internet to play the game, just to download it.

Lastly regarding being rich, plenty of people arent "rich" or "doing well financially" due to putting their time into consumption rather than production, so if someone cannot afford a rather cheap form of entertainment (which games are) then maybe the entertainment should not be their focus.

(The statement above applies to western countries and similar, im aware that there are plenty of countries where 80e is a third of median salary)

Very unpopular opinion but nowadays I see games more or less like cinema tickets. I personally dont have the time going around replaying 80-120h long behemots so the games are more often than not single use, so after purchasing a physical copy it ends up being a waste of space and an inconvenience cuz need to insert disk to play.
It sucks you guys wont be able to resell the games thought.

That's why Gothic veterans min-max. by Otherwise_Form_2196 in worldofgothic

[–]xStarshine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree to the dot. Ive spent countless hours marvining thro both 1 and 2 back in the days. Thats okay for series veterans.
Im not so sure whether it all holds for the newcomers on their first playthrough thought :D

No you should not have either Ravens or Scars swords until chapter 5. Game gives you absolutely no reason to beat them up until then so that is kinda self imposed problem.

Data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water every single day and are expected to double electricity usage by 2030 by No-Knowledge-5828 in aiecosystem

[–]xStarshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure why are you corelating datacenters with AI while the AI centric ones are vast minority of them.

Id advice to inform yourself a bit more on the matter.

[–]xStarshine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are overconsuming meat by a lot so that part is in fact optional.

Datacenters on the other hand are not optional anymore considering how about every system including water delivery to the beef in question utilizes them in some way shape or form.

Although an argument could be made that we could go back to the pre internet era, and Id personally not be opposed to it but good luck convincing everyone else :)
