This is great news, but it is always worth remembering the ebb and flow of these things. It happens because an individual cared. Eventually, that individual won’t be in the decision-making process, and the office will likely come back. At least it usually goes thst way.

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won’t happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience…

If anyone’s interested in the show, there’s three made-for-tv movies and a series.

The first two tv-movies are so bad it’s good entertaining. Everything else is awful. Shatner is barely in the show, but when he is, it’s much better.

Civvie11 on YouTube did a good video about the game as well

Fair use depends on a lot, and just being a small amount doesn’t factor in. It’s the actual use. Small amounts just often fly under the nose of legal teams.

If you read an article, then copy parts of that article into a new article, that’s copyright infringement. Same with ais.

They got subsidies and were recently denied some. Don’t pretend they never got any thank you.

It is quite literally how it works.

In addition, Starlink is not a good solution. It requires an infinite amount of rockets sent into low earth orbit forever, at a heavy subsidised cost paid for by American taxpayers.

You should be pushing for long-term solutions, not ones that literally fall out of the sky six months after the subsidies stop.

People will fire lasers into their eyes just so they don’t have to wear super light glasses. Vr/ar tech are not going mainstream. Only tech bros think that.

are you sure that the pro 2 has a 4-way connection?

i read it as just a simple way of changing what mode the controller runs in, normally you have to select those different modes by holding down button combinations when enabling pairing mode. to me it looks like they just made those button combinations a switch. so it’s a switch, and only pairs to a single device.

i might be wrong, i don’t have one

Five people out of hundreds will yes.

This is layoffs.

This is layoffs.

Bluray and uhd bluray are the current standard

On cds, yes. Technology from the 80s, designed in the 70s.

The article poising this as an analogue competitor seems naive.

It doesn’t have any of the things people buy an analogue pocket for. If you want to say, “This is an analogue pocket but cheaper and without any of the features,” sure. But so is a regular gameboy with an lcd mod.

Which is really what this competes with. It competes with mods of original gameboys.

Optical discs are already incredibly resistant and shouldn’t be expected to fail in your lifetime. Most of the times they do, it’s either old media (cd and dvd both had physical flaws in design), damage, or mistakes in manufacturing.

There’s really no reason for the discs to degrade. It’s just stamped plastic.

Ai is really just money laundering but for anything. It takes everything in the models and builds things just like them.

Either we need to abandon copyright or big tech needs to start working on building models that aren’t absolutely full of copywritten content.

takedowns are automated these days, either through full automation or paying low cost labor in places like India to just do google searches. Rockstar isn’t “doing” anything here, aside from paying someone else to issue the takedowns. and the someone else doesn’t know enough or care enough to apply logic that would cause all the other versions to get taken down too.

You sure don’t want to be left behind! Get on board with OpenAI tooling from Microsoft today!

This is an ad.

This is just to try to avoid governments adding regulation around this. They want to say look the industry is self policing we don’t need regulation, whilst they do nothing

I think the people in this thread talking about cities’ skylines are offbase. Cities skylines filled a vacuum, and simcity was already dead. Arguably, it was already dead before the reboot as their hadn’t been a new entry in a decade.

Okay, but given several other companies, they already made this exact product.

There’s not many good options. It’s a genre that was built specifically for a keyboard, after all. Everything that isn’t a laptop or desktop is gonna be a frustrating downgrade.

Maybe the answer is getting into adjacent genres of games. They aren’t the same, obviously, but there’s a lot of overlap with the adventure game genre, especially, and the visual novel genre is more distant but a lot more accessible away from a pc

I played them for the first time a few years ago, they are legitimately quite good. above average in many ways and totally unique in other ways.

4 less so, some other people made that one.

The playstation 5 also does this.

So maybe this comes from a place of ignorance. But America doesn’t have anything here. Literally. The machines and optics are designed and made in Europe. The design libraries that are used to build chips out are licensed globally.

TSMC is the leading fab because they constantly invest huge amounts of money in the newest machines and tech (they don’t develop) and they have excellent yield working with them thanks to a focus on procedures that prioritize yield over throughput.

There’s no secret sauce here, China can and has managed to produce really surprisingly excellent chip fabs in the last few years. They can purchase the asml machines like anyone else can.

China must invade Taiwan if they want to be relevant in the tech sector 10 years from now.

this is outdated information, and if you are going to copy-paste it around you should fix and probably adjust it. china has reasons for wanting to “unify” Taiwan and it’s not about TSMC, that would be a nice bonus. but it’s really not about it and their tech sector is not reliant on it.

their tech sector does not use TSMC chips today, their own chip fabs are actually doing surprisingly well. which is the reason that the US has been trying to build up their own chip manufacturing for a while, china got good and TSMC’s future isn’t predictable.

the US isn’t trying to move TSMC to US soil, they can’t move the infrastructure, the majority of the people and (importantly) the location - all of which are what make TSMC special (the lithography machines are from europe and elsewhere). The US just wants options and industry in an unpredictable market where their biggest competitor has made significant ground

This isn’t a good article and makes bad connections.

The idea is that they are slashing jobs because ai will do everything, and that doesn’t hold water. To start with, ai is a burgeoning technology without a solid foundation right now. These people are not being replaced at all, and to take advantage of ai, you need more teams to make more things to find the ai product that actually sticks.

The current layoffs are nothing to do with ai and everything to do with shareholders. High interest rates coupled with the post pandemic growth falloffs mean that shareholders aren’t seeing value in tech shares like they used to. So, the executive teams are laying off workers to raise shares.

Lol at all of this

The tools are accessible. I wish this place wasn’t full of weirdo ai tech bros sometimes.

It’s now massively accessible and realistic. Yes, it’s a problem.

I thought ev batteries had heating and cooling to prevent exactly this? Maybe they couldn’t heat enough through the cold to get charging again?

how is the “commercial” avenue supposed to make profit if nasa isn’t funding it. and if it can’t, isn’t it just a government program?

the dead end of commercial space is that it can only function as a factor of government work. it’s not a viable industry by itself.

you can see this tale play out time and time again in other industries that have had the same problem, it doesn’t end well, it ends badly.

also you don’t need to do the big text

Terrible headline.

He (rightly) sees the commercial aspect of space technology to be a deadend, but nasa is spending a huge amount of time and effort working towards enabling it in favour of doing nasa things.

Instead of saying we should go to the moon because it is there, we’re saying go to the moon to try to generate new revenue streams for the private space industry that really can’t survive without our contracts because of there being no real market or industry to build from.

This kind of looks like forum drama rather than something real. Someone on twitter called out the OP saying that their English version of the game looks exactly like their patch for the Japanese version of the game - this is when Op was looking for a few thousand dollars for it.

then op turns around and says it’s been mysteriously preserved by secret people and he’s signed an NDA about it? the whole thing is just reaking of drama.

We’re at the part of infinite growth. Can’t make the numbers look bad compared to pandemic numbers so fire people until they balance out. Otherwise a shareholder might not make as much money as normal this year

I’m sure glad uber “disrupted” the industry from what it was to a marketplace of bidding for a taxi. The system we had previously where you said “I want a taxi” and then a taxi came, and then you paid for it and the driver was paid appropriately was obviously unworkable after working for a hundred years.

This isn’t a dynstopian nightmare at all.

Because you can talk to it and it’s programmed to make you think it knows a lot and is capable of doing so much more.

People expect it to do more because chatgpt was trained to make people expect it to do more.

It’s all lies, of course. Chargpt fails at more than the simplest of tasks and can’t use any new information because the internet is full of ai generated text now, which is poison to training models. But it’s good at pretending.

Your personal usage does not align with the majority. Look at tiktok, it’s social media based around endless video files. It’s not an occasional text or email, it’s hundreds of videos that your constantly scrolling through.

Efficiency doesn’t matter when we have huge amounts of low-cost arible soil. We don’t need to make the most of every square meter when it’s cheaper and easier to just put seeds in soil. This is the problem.

Hydroponics are cool technology that is in every way “better” but useless.
