I stopped after No Man's Sky.

It's still the same amount of mass. It doesn't get lighter because you ship it as it's component parts.

We're talking about the output of the nuclear reactor. Not heat generated by a few computer. There are no radiator design that can deal with that kind of heat.

Sci-fi shows either just hand wave it away by just putting massive radiators on things and hope you don't think about the scale or they just straight up ignore it.

However Kyiv does have a breathable atmosphere so it probably equals out.

I'd love to know what their plan for cooling the reactor is. I suspect their pie in the sky pseudoplan has not bothered to take into account little things like thermodynamics

So we're getting moon Nazis before GTA6

The problem with using AI textures is that at a glance they look like the real thing. So it's not always easy for QA to spot that a texture hasn't been swapped out. The thing is it's also super easy to deal with that, you just put all the AI textures in a temporary folder and then when you think you already to ship the game, delete that folder and see if you get any bright purple broken textures showing up.

Most game engines will let you set the missing texture to be something truly awful and very obvious.

What's the point in even becoming a doctor if they're going to be that pathetic. How would performing a monogram have any bearing on a pregnancy?

Because the Chinese government controls Chinese companies whereas the American government just lets companies do whatever the hell they want.

they're embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.

So no one.

That's my point though they can't do that.

The market isn't just going to wait around for them to get around to selling to consumers again. China is going to see an opening and they're going to manufacture their own chips and make bank. Then when the traditional manufacturer is getting their head out of their arses then realise there market share has vanished. All 100% their fault.

They have decided to shoot themselves in the foot because someone's convinced them they won't ever need legs ever again.

I don't understand what their long-term plan is here. Even if AI isn't a bubble eventually all of the AI companies are going to get to a point where they don't need more compute because they're working on algorithmic optimisations because they decide that that's cheaper.

Then they're going to have to pivot back to the consumer market. Except by that point it won't even be a consumer market because China will have eaten their lunch.

Why is it that every time I see you you always getting downvoted for one of your idiotic takes? I can't decide if you're a troll or just really stupid.
