Ports are sometimes worse than translated version, because the port is subject to developer errors. Technically WINE's translation is too, but an error there would be more obvious as it would have widespread effects. I've actually switched to the Windows version on a few games that had native Linux releases because the Windows version ran better. And after 2 years gaming exclusively on Linux, I've encountered exactly 1 game (nuclear dawn) that didn't run flawlessly, usually out of the box. A few required command line settings, and getting HDR working can be a pain, but I rarely even check ProtonDB to make sure a game will work before I buy it. One caveat: I don't really play multiplayer games, those tend to be an exception due to draconian anti-cheat (but I wouldn't play with that anti-cheat anyways, so IMO it's a good thing those don't work on Linux).

A well aged straw man army (being 40 years old). You would have trouble finding any actual documentary support for any of these claims (that you just made up).

That means there is unlimited demand for renewables and thus it will be impossible to saturate the market with renewables. This is not the argument he wants to get people to stop investing in renewables and invest instead in non-renewables which is what he seems to want (from TFS).

So AI is going to demand all the power we can produce in our lifetimes? What if we don't meet that "demand" and allocate the amount of power that its actual demonstrated contribution to the global economy justifies? Will "AI" get mad and punish us?

The claim is an economic absurdity. The LLM frenzy is right now 2 years and 11 months old (from the time of the public GPT release). Projecting AI power demand, oh 40 years in the future, based on the power demand increase over less than 3 years is ridiculous. The current AI datacenter building race is not going to continue to 40 years. There is no demonstrated necessary AI power demand for some level of economic value.

Yep. Imagine signing up to pay someone a subscription fee that you can get a night's sleep.

Looking for health patterns that drug makers could use to target you for a sales pitch.

Wyoming is an interesting case. Data centers that have big NG-fired backup generation can connect to the grid only if they turn dispatch of those backup generators over to the grid operator. In high-demand intervals, the operator runs the backup generators rather than bringing in high-cost power from distant generators. Or runs them for frequency control if that's necessary.

There's been at least one case of a data center that signed the contract to allow the operator to run their NG-fired generation. When it turned out they had never actually implemented the control interface, the local utility cut them off cold. Want to buy a data center building with its own substation, the cooling infrastructure, etc? It's sitting idle just outside Cheyenne, with the current owners banned from connecting to the grid.

Correct: "The G-Drive couldn't have a backup system due to its large capacity," merely means "we were too cheap to provide a backup".

Very few of the Middle Managers, not nearly enough, are actually being burned.

Sounds your are not going to be receptive to the upcoming wave of products that automate your home "but with AI".

As weird as it sounds, relativity is actually the *simple* physics explanation. The principle behind relativity is one single thing: that the laws of physics are the same in all reference frames (for special relativity, that's only true in non-accelerated frames, general relativity expands that to all frames). The math that follows from that can be horrendously complicated, but saying that the laws of physics of the "real" universe must result in simple math is just... absurd. And impossible. Even simple mathematical forms (like Newtonian gravity) result in incredibly complex math (like the 3 body problem).

It is certainly a plausible idea, and could well be desirable. The key is the implementation which must take into account the constraints of reality (what are the sidewalk conditions?). Some of the problems - like knowing bad sidewalk spots - could be handled by developing delivery maps, which could be applied to these robots I expect. Unpredictable unexpected motion is a problem but could probably be fixed with motion control algorithms. Of course not all ideas that seem plausible actually work out in practice.

They can't. Oh technically you could build black body radiators to do it, but they would need to be kilometers in size, maybe many kilometers, though to be fair so would your solar panel arrays so it might not be a total showstopper. There are so many issues with the idea of data centers in space I'm not even sure cooling is the biggest. The idea only makes sense if you simulatenously own a space launch company and don't have the first clue about physics or engineering. So, you know, Bezos. I think even Musk knows enough engineering to not propose an idea this monumentally stupid. About the only way it'd start to make sense is if we could manufacture the centers in space, but we're probably 50 years away from that, maybe more.

Did they also ban the use of Latin, abbreviations, and Latin abbreviations?

Wow. Just making up "economic history" because it sounds right to him, and no one ever tells him he is full of shit.
