Well, try storing heat for later use. How do you do this as a temperature battery?

An efficient device like solar panels are still much much less effective without batteries. In the same vein, producing or moving heat right now doesn’t mean some other room or device needs the excess or inverse right now.

Nobody runs a dryer constantly, for example. If there’s barely any heat to pull when it is needed, how do you solve for that? Generating heat goes against the goal of recycling it with a central system.

Which situations? This sounds like FUD.

I’m a Perl programmer. This C syntax is fucked.

TLDR: OSS local model good, overpriced cloud-only model bad.

There was never a reason to buy a console for the last few generations. PC tech has grown beyond the bounds of whatever consoles could offer now, and it’s pretty clear that all of the console players are trying really hard to lock you in an expensive ecosystem. New controllers, new live services, new games that you rent only for that console.

Meanwhile, Gabe’s strategy with Steam is to do almost nothing and continue winning.

Even if it was a good idea to optimize traffic based on live data

Have you ever used Google Maps? That future is already here.

Open source local LLMs will win the day, as the tech becomes more and more compressible. But, now AI data centers are f’ing up the supply that would have accelerated that process.

Frankly, it says more about the fragile PC supply chain than anything else, especially memory and other specialized electronic manufacturing processes.

Flock, Palantir, and all of the use of AI for invasive surveillance? You hadn’t heard of those?

Internet still had a bubble. Internet didn’t go away when it popped.

This is a rather defeatist take. It’s also wrong.

It’s post-Kojima Konami. They’ll find a way to screw any leftover IP up.

Both Zone games had awesome soundtracks.

Homeopathy is 100% a scam. LLMs are just overhyped. Big difference.

This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.

Pretending that we’ve not improved anything at all in the last 30 years and pretending that LLMs are just like old shitty tech from the 90s is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.

Also, 1988 was a year that existed.

I saw this phrase and knew immediately it was pulled from Disco Elysium.

Purposely misrepresenting the SKG movement for their gain? Gee, where have I heard that before?

They are already asking questions. DeepSeek was a wake up call. NVIDIA stock dropped like a stone right after the announcement.

Open source is the only way forward with AI.

So, Steam won?
