I know unions and workers rights are basically none existent across the pond. And I can only hope that changes for you guys. But I sure hope if I would get fired for doing as I’m told by management, that I can go to the union and/or judge to get compensation for being unjustly fired.

This shouldn’t really be a discussion imho, but alas here we are.

In a social democracy with workers rights, where if you got unjustifiably fired you can sue them for it. you?

They don’t have to, just as much as you don’t have to compensate for their shortcomings. Of course that’s easier said then done if you work somewhere with little to no workers protection and fear losing your job. But that still doesn’t make it right.

Most people in jobs like this aren’t paid hourly, they are salaried and expected to get the job done. Usually the problem isnt necessarily the runtime of an AI, but the inefficiency of a workflow that brought AI into its center.

Sure, but if the tools provided/mandated by the employer are inadequate to do the job more efficiently. That should be the employers problem, not the employee’s.

You can’t as management both claim the need for AI out of efficiency, and blame it at the same time for you not getting your job done in time because of it. But then again, how often do you come across competent leadership these days. The lemon can always be squeezed a bit more I guess.

I’m probably ignorant, as i left the conventional workforce before AI took off… But how does that exactly make you work longer? If the AI isn’t finished by the time the shift is over, then it’s tomorrows problem, no?

Couldn’t this be abused? What’s stopping me from using a VPN node in France and downloading terabytes from google, meta, etc.? But I guess they will start capping traffic to French addresses.

How come people with MBA studies are too dumb to see that easily cheated metrics, are easily cheated? What do they actually teach in those studies? Have 5 mission statements that are the exact opposite of how we actually act, and fire people do line go brrr? That’s it?

Who says you only need to eat one serving though?

Is Intel rumored to drop it’s GPU line? Haven’t really kept up to date lately.

Hah no they don’t. My partner doesn’t even really know what a browser is, or where the distinction between phone/pc and ‘the internet’ lies. Sure she might have heard of the word ‘firefox’ but no way she can explain what it is or does.

The whole Bambu Lab situation isn’t really a surprise. Always stay away from companies that want to be the “Apple” of their niche.

I’ve worked in the Netherlands and Belgium, both gave me compensation for travelling to work. In the Netherlands they paid my gas. In Belgium it was a fixed stipulation depending on distance and mode of travel. Honestly I can’t see how anything else is not just a rip off.

So they don’t… During the job is just part of the job, that’s not compensation. Now it even makes less sense why Americans like to commute so long

So… Do US employees not get compensation for travel expenses? Such freedom…

I don’t at all see how this is relevant though? They are using another ‘standard’ already, Forgejo. And they are just hosting it themselves, so that they are in full control. If anything I’m actually astonished they didn’t already do something like this.

Not if you run it in two different processes. Then it’s exactly the same as your new setup.

Ok, that’s a valid reason. But you didn’t touch on that in your post. You only talked about performance. Hence my wondering.

That seems purely resource bound. So as long as your pc has enough cores and memory I feel like it should work fine, can’t see what brings it down except excessive iops? . But I haven’t had much experience with newer games like this, so I can’t really dispute your experience.

First of all, congrats on your server!

But I was wondering, though I don’t really know much about Icarus. But why wouldn’t you just be able to run the server on the same machine? If it only takes two cores anyway, most modern systems should easily run that besides the game itself no?

Not saying this isn’t a better solution, just doesn’t seem necessary to create a server for just that. But now you get to enjoy the experience of how deep the self hosting rabbit hole goes. Have fun and good luck!

When companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are starting to squirm and whimper. You know you are on the right path. So I take this as a sign that the EU is heading in the right direction.
