Open and honest communication. Just say that you’re not interested in the game.

If the host gets passive-aggressive you could try to talk civilised about that. In case they don’t show the necessary understanding or are difficult to talk to, they might not be the kind of acquaintance you would like to keep.

With an energy conversion efficiency of usually 75 to 80 % they are really efficient and don’t have as much energy loss as other types of energy storage. It’s a simple, but powerful concept and I find it beautiful. However, there is some concern regarding their impact on the local ecosystem. Not only do they need huge water reservoirs, which are artificially created and therefore might impact nearby rivers and even fish migration, but the way they are sealed with concrete or asphalt also disallows the development of riparian vegetation. From an ecological perspective they are basically dead zones.

Still, considering several alternatives, I think it’s one of the better options. Although it’s not cheap to build those, which is a problem in our current capitalitic society

Hahahaha absolutely. :D The difference is, that they come from a 3D printer and that’s cool.

To be fair, you don’t need a very huge 3D printer for that, if you divide it into a lot of smaller parts which can be assembled later.

Idk, if we can already print steel though and whether we can make it structually sufficiently stable.

It’s not just text generating AI, like those transformer models, but also image classificators and generators, time series predictors, and a bunch of other stuff you get.

But yes, even though you seem not to like it, it is AI.

Copilot is no more “intelligent” than Clippy from Microsoft Bob in 1995.

I can’t share that experience.

It just appears to be to people who also have low intelligence.

That’s a bit condescending, don’t you think?

You get AI tools shoved down your throat everywhere nowadays. Whether you want it and it’s useful or not.

I’m on the fence about hearings birds singing. It is really annoying to get woken up way too early by a bird who just knows two tunes and sings it over and over and over again. Like what the fuck?! Didn’t they teach you a third tune at bird school to make your song a bit more melodic and less irritating? Fucking twitter.

They just fuck with Kenyans. And that’s obviously okay, because they are not part of the western nations. /s

Oh shit. My pollen allergy in spring is a death trap.

Depends on the scale and how it accommodates for the gravitational acceleration.

I see. Okay. Didn’t know that.

If you use a scale, the force acting upon the mass is calculated out such that you get a mass displayed.

Kilonewton? That would be a force and not a mass. For mass the standard unit is (kilo)grams.

In international standard SI units that’s about 113 kg.

First the EPP is center-right, not conservative right-wing.

As far as I can see it, they are conservative-right wing. It’s even clear from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article you posted further down:

with Christian-democratic,[4] liberal-conservative,[4] and conservative[5][6] member parties

Second there’s too much leftists’ bullshit already in EU member states

You mean like those competiveness laws discussed in this post?

that only benefits the USA

Sounds like a conspiracy myth to me. Feel free to elaborate.

Europeans People Party, large political party within the EU which is largely full of conservative right-wing folks with the german Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen at it’s top. She is also currently president of the European Commission and has been known to be involved in corruption and to favour company interests, as well as the rest of the fuckers in the EPP.

So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that’s good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else. Thereby detrimental for such competitive-practise-laws.

Depends on the specific engineering branch. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes nothing at all. But all engineering branches share one thing with physics: math.

The fact that it’s hard or inconvenient to make one doesn’t change the fact that we have to. Stop being lazy and focus on making or improving a free open-source engine so you can make games.

You seem to underestimate the immense amount of work a good quality engine requires. It’s not about being lazy or having some neglectable inconveniences. For a lot of, especially smaller, developers this is a matter of financial survival.

Open source is cool, but requires dedicated regular contributors. The more work there is to do, the more important this and the number of contributors is. And there are not enough good engineers who like to dedicate their free time for such unpaid work. This just doesn’t work very well with such a capitalistic economy system that we have now.

Another problem is that Unity has a team of paid engineers and Godot doesn’t. Or does it?
