Wololooo

And the escape key became a virtual thing...

I liked the touch bar for some things, but I deeply hated it, add to this the butterfly keyboard, and you got yourself the perfect storm...

I agree with the engineering, the thing is also I would like to consider a flip phone like a fold or similar, but the tradeoffs, the price, the lack of longevity AND the fact that even if the phone survives its whole life cycle, security updates would make it obsolete for certain applications, makes it difficult to even consider such a device...

Though looking at the practical engineering questions and their solutions is still entertaining.

I'm so fucking mad and I'll keep calling them spéculoos until the day I die.

There is a lot of that, but there is also the fact that you can get lulled into a false sense of "it is working" in general the motto is 90% of the work in 10% of the time and 90% of the time to get the 10% more done, and the devil is always in those 10% that often hinge on decisions made during the 90% phase.

It also depends on the requirements, and what the actual thing you want done. For software, sure you can probably patch it and there are some inconveniences you can live with depending on the clients requirements, for hardware... a little bit tougher... But it still depends on what is being done and what are the constraints, as long as people are reasonable, usually, it works out... Except that people rarely seem to be reasonable...

I'm going to guess it's a number's game, you might be able to do it with an iPhone but it's not guaranteed to go to a crypto user, whereas the other one is a bespoke system for the purpose.

This goes along in the hall of fame with the "how hard can it be", Turns out, if you want to do it right, more often than not, very hard.

Correct, they do have a probability of interacting, but it's extremely low, depends of the energy of the neutrino (its momentum) but basically it can go through 1 light year of lead and still have only a 50/50 chance of interacting.

to put things to scale 1 ly is 9,460,730,472,580,800 meters, or 63,241.077 astronomical units, the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

Needless to say, it's pretty weakly interacting as far as interaction goes...

Your comment is even more depressing when you realise this applies to other elements of our daily lives, including but not restricted to oil, environmental management, societal support...

Funny how our short feedback loops and greed pushes people towards deeply unstable systems, especially if the price seems so "cheap" for a reward sold as so incredible that it would be dumb not to bet on it...

Honestly, the steamOS environment is not perfect, but valve has made strides to make things compatible with almost everything under the sun and working hard on optimisation for all their peripherals.

For the previous poster, if they see this, it is to note that the java version will run natively but bedrock might require more fiddling...

Can you explain how a vector database can be real intelligence? Also you're more than a bunch of synapses...

Where is most of that future power going? Where are those power plants going to be installed? What need does those particular nuclear reactors would fill?

Do not get me wrong: I am not anti-nuclear per-se, but my main concern is that it would have made sense to have a long term strategy including phasing out of nuclear not directly shutting down in the 90's as the Italian did, but progressive phase out with upgrades to existing plants... Now it seems to be going a bit backwards.

Also, to contrast and put in context, in Belgium, Nuclear power plants were build by the state and therefore paid by the tax payers, raising taxes in order to afford them. The underpinning idea was that you pay a bit more and then once paid off you can get cheap energy.

This is not what happened, the power plants got privatised and the gains went to the new operators, leaving tax payers with the bill...

No they do not like it, it is a figure of speech to underline how much they do not like it.

For profit IS the problem, the fundamental issue is that there are some services that needs to be run at a loss because the profit is the service which is being provided, that is the whole point of public service and paying taxes in order to have those operated.

Now I'm not advocating for reckless spending, you can run services with reason while staying within a spending envelope, but there is a striking difference between entities that are specifically aligned for profit and those who aren't, and this is very noticeable in the health sector, in America, were wealth directly correlates with health.

Go further with your reasoning... Why would anyone lend the US more...

You are absolutely right, they would commit fraud on an unprecedented level and get away with hundreds of millions!

I mean, if you think about it, you can't pay a lot per second, most of people don't have money to throw around that much... How many times do you buy things during a day? Once? twice? Maybe thrice? 6 million payment uniformly in an hour is 1666 transactions per second, overall this tracks.

Cyberpunk was a dumpster fire on release, I'm not joking, you could have two machines seemingly identical but get wildly different performance, it was an absolute mess.

Even to this day after so many patches some bugs still are present.

The PS4 release was notoriously bad because they were reliant on caching from disk, if it's an SSD it's ok, if it's a hard drive, though luck...

This is even worse when you look at all the marketing material leading up to release, if you put that together it's close to fraud in my opinion...

This is a terrible idea on any way shape or form you can imagine.

Even if they say they won't, they will, and there is no telling what they would do with the data itself...

Wouldn't be the first nor the last time someone is asked to ship something and it gets rushed through for reasons XYZ...

This being said makes the situation for an attacker awfully convenient...

To cite one, Okami, innovative gameplay, striking art very poor sales, they made most of their sales after the fact after the studio closed and the game got ported to other systems than the PS2.

I mean, it's 99% sure this was supposed to be a debug feature...

Unions are a normal thing to happen to guarantee a check of balances, we are used to systems they have their feedback loop, if you have a one sided relationship you cannot have balance because one side will always try to push in their direction.

The tug between management and unions is the balance.

If you consider that safety is something that is impeding, you have never truly worked at scale nor considered what happens when accident happens, safety is to ensure continuous, painless operation, not impede it and is a baseline condition for trust which is essential to move fast.

People are doing so because the math is not mathing.

Assuming that all the claims are true, this would lead to a collapse under its own weight, because at that point, supposedly, most people won't be needed in the jobs they currently occupy.

Assuming the claims aren't true, there will be a reckoning where all the glitter thrown will hit the ground and people that invested would like to have their marbles back at whatever the cost.

I'd be betting on the latter rather than the former. BECAUSE all those companies are RUSHING for an IPO because none of them want to be left with the bag.

Just for the sake of comparison and to put things in perspective, just for the spaceX situation, running a datacenter is no easy task and require significant maintenance and supporting infrastructure, now you're going to tell me that you can achieve the same and even more in space where virtually everything is more complicated to achieve? And you're telling me that your entire business, or at least a big majority of it, will be this entirely unproven infrastructure? Seems like a bit of a stretch to me...

Now this being said, somehow some things may lie in the middle, but people seem to be a bit either too fond of the claims or too aggressive towards some part of the tech stack.

Waste is waste, if you end up using 2 to 4 times the filament (depending on the number of colour change) it's still something to account for.

This might seems like a lot but this is the reality of the system.

If I remember everything is open hardware, CERN should have those repo accessible, last time I used it it was still very much in dev, especially their PCIe cards with custom kernel. This being said, I haven't touched it since ~6 years ago...

Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...

4. When the whole thing implodes, because at that point you need to keep the balance sheet as green as possible.

Ever been next to an electric arc discharging? The odour you can smell is Ozone.

As an educator I always make a point to give the resources to the students and or give avenues to it that are not paywalled.

Knowledge is the only resource that only becomes greater the more is shared because people share back what they learned. Mind you this only works if people are paying it forward. But often the educator gets more from teaching than the student does.

We? I don't think I've seen anyone but the people absolutely not understanding the gravity of the situation were cheering on. And I'm not even American.
