  • I get it from my father. He was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known, but if you asked him anything, you better have a lot of free time cause it is going back to first principles.

    I know his reasoning was that he wanted me to learn how to understand and find the answer, not just be given it, and now I’m guilty of the same thing.

    I don’t do it at work, or at least I try not to, as they are paying me for the solution not a dissertation, but if friends or family ask for tech support, they are getting the whole explanation while I solve the problem.

    I guess another part of it is that like me, he really didn’t have anyone to talk tech to other than his family, and really just enjoyed the time being able to share things he was knowledgeable about.




  • I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.

    Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.

    Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.

    No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.













  • My job falls under IS, and in our monthly townhall we had a brief from the head of technology on our companies AI policy.

    Our policy states we can only use approved AI systems, not sure which one but we have an account with one of the big ones. The main thing was, absolutely 100% of everything generated has to be reviewed and approved by a person before being used.

    Basically any person using it will be on the hook as if they had created it themselves. They encouraged us to use it and explore where it can help, but made sure we knew we’d be responsible for the results.

    Personally, I’d love to play around with it, as I do both graphics and programming as part of my job. The only issue I have is the language is so niche I doubt it’ll have enough data to generate anything, and I don’t want to feed proprietary code into an unsecured database to train it.

    I’m sure in the next two years I’ll be using it for something.
