Steam doesn’t need a AI disclosure label for things that are not player-facing IIRC.

This is true, but you don’t want people to bounce off the game immediately, so they have a bad time and refund it before giving it a proper go. This can happen if they feel it’s ea…

What is ‘normal’ is unfortunately subjective and can mean a lot of different things to different people. Also often what is listed as ’hard’ is often normal, because most people wi…

Apples to oranges, I think. Blue Prince was self-funded and solo developed for much of its long development time. Publisher funding was sought to polish and market the game. The de…

That’s a weird value to get funding for right now. If a publisher wants to fund something cheap and niche, maybe a bit of a gamble, it’s too much. If they want to fund a more flesh…

I think it describes the methods needed to obtain and process a large amount of data in a field where getting a small amount of data is expensive and requires incredible hardware.

Bluntly, I think this just highlights why software engineering is not a serious engineering discipline. There are some exceptions, like safety-critical systems, but on the whole, s…

You don’t need spinning reserve, but you do need enough reserve power that can supply grid-forming generation on demand. Batteries can react fast enough to peaks and troughs in vol…

It’s not an either-or.

Nobody is trying to remove all street lighting. There are plenty of practical suggestions on here and in that document about how things can be improved without reducing safety.

I posted several metrics by which the power used by these data centres is ‘excessive’. You’ve decided that those don’t matter and you’ve created some other metrics by which you cou…
