Your statement is correct for the movies, but I think the extended universe (maybe a comic or the original script) did state the humans were used for compute, not energy. It was dumbed down for the films.

So we should let companies do what ever anti-consumer practices they want, because you don't like the group they are doing it to?

Should a car company be allowed to charge you an extra fee every time you have a passenger?

Right now it's just a personal project. Will see if it actually helps me remember my Spanish, then I might release it.

I built a fully locally hosted language learner app. It build language lessons based on a 4 year college curriculum, using a local LLM, Qwen TTS, local STT, and comfyUI image gen. I formulates themed lessons, around 'interesting' stories, generates dialogue, images, audio, quizzes, and pronunciation tests. Each lessons progress is tracked and new lessons are generated daily to reinforce concepts and extend past lesson story lines.

Overall it acts like a 'Choose your own adventure' book, but you learn while doing it. Currently supports Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Runs on a 4060 16GB card.

I disagree. Shipping has always been the fun part for me. I have been a DEEP engineer, and I love figuring out creative and deep optimizations, but writing them was never fun, designing them was. Writing the code has always been the least enjoyable part for me.

I get why they are mad, but I don't think I see a problem with the Qwen team doing this. I would say it's entirely on Anthropic to have better bot detection, or if they are paid accounts, Anthropic has even less of my concern.

Ok, what about a more direct take.

Hello games made a game called No Man's Sky which has VERY heavy use of procedural generation. Same as Minecraft.

If someone were to make the same games using genAi, would it be less impressive, even if the output was 'better'?

Airline pilot. Respected, well paid, kind of cool.

I have built out several Amcrest systems. You have the many options for recording and access, that will allow remote access without going to the cloud.

Thank you for providing clarity where I did not.

Sorry, I sometimes forget the vernacular is not universal. The other sibling comment did provide the correct definitions.

For a service like AWS, 75 mins is going to result in a LOT of COE's for people on way it wasn't mitigated quicker. A Sev 1 like this has an SLA of 20 mins to mitigate impact. Writing about these failures will consume a dozen peoples time for the next 6 weeks.

I have 10 years of experience at Amazon as an L6/L7 SDM, across 4 teams (Games, logistics, Alexa, Prime video). I have also been on a team that caused a sev 1 in the past.

The op clearly stated wear, not fuel. Hourly rates on a plane will have a maintenance reserve, from tens to hundreds of dollars per hour. This cost can not be shared by a pilot. If the plane is owned by an LLC, and rents the plane to the pilot at a rate that includes the maintenance reserve, the cost of the rental CAN be split. So by putting the plane in an LLC, you can legally recoup the true cost from your friends.

I felt the same way, which is why I made M.A.V. but it's PC only.
