That is if there is still an optical drive market in the future.

Sony never made a big deal of how the PS5 can play Ultra HD disks the way they did with DVD and Blu-ray. Ultra HD sales seem a lot smaller than previous renditions. You also have a lot of content being kept behind the streaming paywall rather than getting released.

I don’t think there will be a large enough market to support 8K, backed up by the fact that a specification has been written but no one wants to go forward with making the disks and drives.

It is funny how people have criticized American tech bros and praised Chinese development when it appears that they were both using the same fundamental investment philosophy.

Lemmy was designed to be a place where communists would have a community. Some instances weren’t, but a lot of the original ones were.

It is been a plan for a while in the USA to shift launches from government run to private run for over a decade. This is just an implementation of that strategy.

What other company or government could do this?

No, but my job includes producing and verifying calculations.

We already deal with computer models, but there is a concept of “garbage in, garbage out” where the model is garbage because the inputter didn’t understand what to put in the model or even what model should be used.

So the modeling may be more efficient, but the budget gets blown in verification because the model is crap.

I think it is more writing to people for whom that is the case.

The economy is shifting to a set of haves and have-nots. The problems that the haves deal with are tied a lot more to economic performance than have-nots.

You also have a case where unemployment is still low, with a lot of the issue being tied to low minimum wages. Usually, the problems that have-nots have with the economy have been tied to unemployment. You can get a job in this economy, it just won’t be well paying.

You are essentially making the silly “but yet you choose to live in society” argument.

I don’t think so. OP wasn’t saying to stop uploading to YouTube, but to upload to alternate sites as well and maybe lead their audiences there by mentioning it in videos.

But humans also need input as well.

At my company, we had someone who told us they were planning on moving countries within a year, but hadn’t given a firm date to leave. We interpreted it as we weren’t given an official notice until they confirmed the date.

Even after they gave a date, we still treated them as a normal employee, but we did tell them we expected that their quality of work wouldn’t drop during this period. I don’t know how that would work in positions where the policy is to cut off access after someone gives their notice.

It looks like we are already at the point with some AI where we can correct the output instead of add new input. Microsoft is using LinkedIn to help get professional input for free.

Part of the problem is that a lot of hotel and other property owners don’t want cheap capsule hotels.

Some North American malls have them.

The problem is that a lot of American malls are in decline and can barely afford to keep the escalators working, let alone install these lights.

The hilarious thing is that, in the script, Megan Fox’s character is actually really interesting and multidimensional. And Bay films her as just some T&A.

I feel like the two movies should have been a trilogy.

Cut the first one as Paul and Jessica are flying away.

Cut the second one at the decision of Paul to go south, choosing to fulfill his destiny.

The last one remains the same.

The chemical properties that create surface tension help water become a great solvent for a variety of chemicals. There isn’t a chemical that wouldn’t have surface tension that would also be as good a solvent in that class of materials.

She might have come from an era when people were turning flour bags into dresses. At that time, you kept every scrap of decent fabric you had.

Just because someone is bad in one subject doesn’t apply to every subject.

No, but the freshman year is supposed to lay the groundwork for later classes and teach soft skills for use later.

What use does having an English major be weeded out by their ability to do stats or calculus?

I’ve found it rare that universities require English majors to take advanced math. However, even within that, calculus is just a different way of preparing logic proofs and statistics is commonly used and misused in developing arguments.

Also, a four year degree isn’t meant to be a technical degree, but to help create a more well rounded leader. That means having more knowledge than just the subject. This is the reason why engineers have to take humanities classes.

I have to do project management in my industry.

Make the big decisions first and focus on pain points/fatal flaws with stakeholders and subject matter experts. I’ve seen cases where projects go through several redesigns because the PM focused on easy design tasks first, then it turned out a later design task caused the early design tasks to need to be redone.

Ask people why certain decisions are being made. Keep these discussions one on one. You can often tell by the quality of the answer how good the reasoning is.

You also have the viewpoint that some freshmen level classes were designed to specifically weed people out. If you aren’t able to have a way to pass those classes, then it was thought that teaching you further would be a waste.
