And then you have a trained model that requires vast amounts of energy per request, right? It doesn’t stop at training.

You need obscene amounts GPU power to run the ‘better’ models within reasonable response times.

In comparison, I could game on my modest rig just fine, but I can’t run a 22B model locally in any useful capacity while programming.

Sure, you could argue gaming is a waste of energy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t argue that it shouldn’t have to cost boiling a shitload of eggs to ask AI how long a single one should. Or each time I start typing a line of code for that matter.

With Railway it’s the typical anticipation of strategy games that gets you. Just one more expansion of your network, one more resource to connect to a town, one more logistical puzzle to solve. It’s way more intricate (in a good way) than just managing the budget and I’ve sunk hours and hours into some of those missions to figure them out.

Railway Empire 2 hard to put down once you get going.

Wasteland 3 is awesome and akin to DOS2 and BG3!

Hmm, LibreOffice may not be the prettiest, but it works. For my own documents and presentations I use Typst nowadays. That’s a blazing fast modern typesetting alternative to LaTeX. That being said, I can’t stand WYSIWIG stuff but that might not be everybody’s cup of tea.

I mostly run into stubborn manufacturers like Roland that only release their musical instrument companion apps for Mac/Win and leave Linux Digital Audio Workstations hanging.

But in the end it’s just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?

Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.
