At home or cloud-based? It is either-or.
You won’t know until you actually use the service. Remember, this is quantum computing.
Get it to work first, then get it to work reliably, then make it cost effective. Then we can talk. Say, in > 100 years or so. Until then, STFU about "applications".
But I was promised a Beowulf cluster by Christmas..
Phone or a tablet is not a problem, it is unrestricted access to social media that is. As a parent, I tried setting up Apple's child restrictions on a tablet. What a disfunctional mess. Unlike other aspects of iPadOS that are usable, this is just an obvious lawyer-driven kludge. It was not at all functional.
More than just this, it’s also proper education and training in how to be responsible, healthy, and safe online. Simply denying them access based on nothing but authoritarian principle is likely going to lead to nonstop binges once they inevitably are on their own. It’s important for them to actually understand why.
Leadership will maximise shareholder value because that's their job, and that's what will earn them bonuses. Long term will be someone else's problem because those who make such decisions will have collected their bonuses and left before there's any fallout.
The current system is set up to prioritise short term profit above all else, so there was never going to be any other outcome.
100% this^. I’m not even in aerospace and it was shocking to me the level of ignorance present in corporations because of how undervalued competence is. When you think you can just slap the wine bottle from the hand of the guy living outside on the street and put him in a technical position at half the cost it’s amazing anything works at all in this world.
You'd be surprised how little time a typical TA spends grading a paper. If they're grading 100 papers in an hour, that's 36 seconds per paper.
I was taught the stairs method. You simply throw the papers down the stairs, and grade based on how far they go.
Interesting, thanks for your reply. By 'redistribution of favors', you mean domestically?
Historically yes, but the reality now is corporations and political donors are now intertwined with both domestic and foreign influences. Money is being given out as favors, and those favors are in return laundered as donations, often indirectly, to political campaigns and the cycle repeats. Dollars are not a zero sum game, even the value they represent is arcane and nebulous even if it’s backed by physical goods and services.
Is it possible for foreign countries to eventually unionize and rebel?
This would be a real concern, so disinformation and other campaigns are waged to sow divisions and create upheaval just like is being waged in the US right now by powers both foreign and domestic. Just like I don’t have much hope of people here working together anytime soon, I don’t think it’s going to happen with so many players. Who knows though; there could always be some catalyzing event to promote unity.
Anyone care to speculate?
The American military is so incredibly powerful for many reasons, among the most important is forcing adoption of the dollar onto as many other world economies as possible. Right now, 65 fiat currencies are pegged to the dollar, not even counting other currencies and markets that trade in dollars. This way, when the money printer goes “brrrrrrrr” you can print far more money and not suffer inflation because it’s much harder to dilute the entire planet. As a bonus, debt is good because when the inflation does hit but your economic capacity does not by the same margin, foreign countries with debt are holding the bag as we print some paper and the majority owed to ourselves can be redistributed as favors for keeping the “right” people in power. This is the same money that’s used to great effect in campaigns. Further, if any country gets out of line, ultimately conflicts are resolved by force which is why America is geared to taking on all of he entire world minus Europe by itself. It knows where the power lies.
The world of "let's make up facts" is very harmful for civil discourse and democracy.
It starts with religion, where made up beliefs are held more sacred than hard observable and repeated measurements and it just spreads from there. Finding solutions to the problems in objective reality is hard enough, we don’t need made up beliefs making it even more intractable. Just look at who this infighting benefits and where the money and fruits of actual labor are concentrating and it suddenly makes quite a bit of sense why outrage fear bait and division tactics has such money behind it.
The worst part is the people at the top milking the system don’t see or care they are destroying it. The more they gain by leeching, the closer the country and world approaches the efficiencies of war torn countries where rule is locally held by roving gangs with small arms and no one has any real wealth or quality of life, even those who take by force still are impoverished compared to the top few % in democratic countries with strong social safety nets. When we don’t have equity, fairness, and an informed public to uphold democracy in their own best interests the system moves towards collapse. While democracies are stable, and areas ruled by roving gangs with small arms are stable, the space between is not, wide, and hard to cross. That does not mean we can continue on this path forever because too much and there will come a tipping point where America will buckle and never recover for the foreseeable future if these trends continue.
Clearly that capacitor is "not fluxing" because Voyager passed 88 mph a long time ago, and would have disappeared into time by now.
Isn’t it already almost a day into the past now?
No we haven't had FSD on the road "for some time now"
More than that, it’s only used in the safest conditions. Around here you can’t read the lines on the road, sometimes for months, because they are covered in snow. Try to use any of the “self driving” technologies and the car will refuse or worse. If you want to compare numbers with human vs computer drivers, then the same conditions should be used. Sunny day freeway miles to sunny day freeway miles. It’s not clear at all they are safer than average humans, including drunk texting teens. Pitted against actual capable attentive humans and it’s clear we are no where near supremacy and won’t be for decades at least.
Most likely a broken (open) capacitor, just like most failed earth-bound electronics. A remarkably common failure-mode, especially in electrolytics (which I doubt anyone is stupid enough to send into space, even NASA).
Are you saying the capacitor is in flux? A flux capacitor?
that's what's so weird about this they're going after them because it could potentially be used for piracy, and that's something I've never considered, but it's actually a good way to save money, to be honest.
They didn’t consider it either, there are any number of sites to get pirated content. However, plex is a legal way to save money and share with family and friends both of which corporations are trying to get rid of.
