China’s strategy with new tech is to subsidize a number of startups and have them compete until there are a few winners.

That Hoarah Loux reveal was very cool. He doesn’t need an axe. He’ll just rip you apart with his bare (bear?) hands.

It’s not bad but pretty short and I heard they ran out of money.

It’s basically a parry game which I’m not the biggest fan of since it forces you into a single play style. The first boss took the longest to figure out the parry timings and since I started playing on Hard it was a lot less forgiving and you have a lot fewer tools in the beginning.

By the third boss I was getting the hang of things.

Does Stellar Blade count as a souls like?

I think it’s because FPGAs are an intermediate to just making your own ASIC.

$200k isn’t sufficiently rich:

Do people you know just not like their kids? Parents generally really like their offspring.

There’s definitely some biology involved. For example, women can forget the pain of childbirth.

Armageddon - It’s a fun ride, but don’t think about it too hard.

I think then it would be a good question to ask why families with 1 or 2 kids why they don’t have more.

I’d say the main reasons would be:

1. Money: Even the most child friendly countries only cover a fraction of the cost of raising a child. As far as I’m aware, they might cover daycare, but that still leaves a ton of chores. And again, the standard might be you want to have a room per child, plus a guest room.
2. Opportunity Cost: Taking leave will pause your career. Taking two years off in your 20s can really delay career growth, again leading to money issues down the line.
3. Higher standards for marriage and stability: This might not be directly related to money, but maybe we can blame capitalism ruining everything including dating apps.

So governments might be able to move the needle a bit with these families by providing extra support.

The idea that people felt they have "comfortable income" to have 5 kids while working 6 days a week at a coal mine and living in a one bedroom apartment but can't have kids today because they can't put each one in separate room is just silly.

Is it though? The standards are much higher now and there’s a lot more effort put into raising each child. That’s literally a standard people have now.

A lot of people want to form a family. They want to have a kid or two.

Isn’t this my original point? I didn’t say everyone wanted to have an entire litter. There are plenty of people who want to have a family without sacrificing opportunity.

Have you considered that developing also means everyone is too busy focused on becoming a productive cog? There are much higher opportunity costs for women even with token benefits from the government. I’m saying that the benefits aren’t nearly enough since every developed country has to compete in the same rat race.

Look at birth rates by income, for those with a very comfortable income, the birth rate is higher.

I’d argue the 8 billion people on this planet suggests it’s true.

And how do we get these infants we love protecting?

I’m aware of Darktable, but haven’t tried it myself.

Yeah, I think I’m mostly done with my current set of games, so maybe a good time to make the switch.

I think photography workflow might have some issues, but it’s probably manageable.

Humans have a natural drive to procreate (not just have sex), so if your population doesn’t want to have children, maybe look at what you’re doing to make them avoid this natural proclivity.

I’d argue the only real solution is a longer leave for both parents without affecting their careers. But it’s generally just not doable with their corporate culture.

I think it was a naturally stopping point. Maybe they can restart it with the same cast in… 20 years?

Yes for electrical engineering. Got a job pretty easily at a job fair before graduating which ended up being something like 10% hardware 90% software. Eventually went to a biotech startup at about the same mix, and now in big tech building websites so 100% software.

I’d say the time at the startup was the most fulfilling, but the benefits I have now outweigh any downsides.

I have an older 1080ti or something like that which is still running just fine. And with the current prices I’m unlikely to change that.

I pretty much have to use Linux at work. I’m only still on windows for gaming but that will probably change soon.
