That’s because the state is essentially responsible for house safety- there are many codes the buildings have to satisfy. Not everything is regulated like that. There are no many codes (if at all) associated with chargers, and charger safety is responsibility of a company making the charger. So at least I can see some logic here. But with low power devices like console the risk is very low to have someone electrocuted because incorrect low voltage (compared to what car is using to charge) card is installed. Maybe there is a risk of fire?

No, it has to be certified (by state?) electrician.

I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

The relative costs of computers, consoles and games themselves is significantly lower today than in the eighties.

You don’t understand. It is a motivational poster about perseverance. Or is it demotivational? Always confuse them.

I had never been in court, but would assume that when you are called to appear into court, you are not given zoom link just in case. Right?

Counter arguments

  1. technology develops exponentially, while humans are … static
  2. even now single line of code LLM generates faster and cheaper
  3. the replacement is not programmer->LLM but programmer -> (programmer +LLM). LLM is just a tool.
