The decision to do it was made in 2011, and they've been building the parts that will go into it, and they'd already committed to doing the installation at the end of the current operating period, but the schedule for ending that period is "mid-2026", so he gets to be the one who makes that date exact, with people hoping to get one last experiment that doesn't need the upgrade in before they have to wait a long time.
That's what a kernel developer told me when I reported this problem. In particular, they said I had a machine with an nVidia device that was different from all the similar devices they'd seen in not having the second copy engine actually function. They gave me one line of config for my PCI ID, and then it worked perfectly.
They found and fixed the issue immediately upon seeing logs from my machine, but they'd never seen exactly that issue before to know in advance that it was a possibility.
... nothing terribly unique about "edtech".
Videos. Text. Forms. Reporting. Not too difficult to just use generic parts to assemble a whole.
> We all mix pictures, emojis, and text freely in our communications
No we don't, unless we don't want to be taken seriously.
Eh, I do (unless I'm emailing some stodgy unknown who might be offended)
A smile indicates that I am, you know, smiling. A laugh indicates that I am joking. Context is provided; communication is improved.
My coworkers and our clients seem to take me seriously {shrugging faux emoji here, lol}
Texas did. It created the Guardian School program in 2007 which is a method for school employees who chose to, to remain armed and defend their students. There has never been a mass shooting at a Guardian school.
Do you know how crazy that sounds to the rest of the planet?
Which part of the planet? Rotherham, say?
... that I was so special (eye roll).
Or, just maybe, you aren't counting everybody, just large companies.
If you are really convinced generative AI makes games shitty then what's the problem? Presumably those games won't get the awards because they suck. The only reason for this policy is because you think it *will* make for good games but you want to stop its use anyway.
Yep, exactly.
Amadeus was released in 1984, so movie audiences have been inconsiderate and stupid for a long time.
To be honest, I didn't much care for movie going then either, lol. But the wait for some other method for any given movie was considerably longer.
Society itself has changed.
For the shared movie going experience in a theater to be enjoyable, that depends on most people following largely unwritten and unenforceable (except socially) rules. And we mostly don't have that anymore, as a society.
I dunno, I've been really enjoying watching old movies from 20+ years ago in 4k. I can finally see everything in the background, it's a big improvement. Never mind I own a 4k projector and a big wall to use it on so anything less than 1080p looks junky nowadays.
Ah, well, with a huge screen I imagine it might matter more, yeah
That's another thing I've never got into. Our living room and bedroom are small-ish, or medium-ish at most; I really can't imagine using a huge TV screen in them. I never really understood the whole "cover your wall with a TV screen" thing
All the games I want for the next 10 years are available on the PS4. A long time ago I realized that used video game consoles were still as good as the day they were released yet they are a quarter of the price. My kids buy new games yet when they saw me playing my 10 year old game they complemented on how nice the game was. I guess graphics haven't come that far.
Similar to TV that way. Graphics are overblown.
When digital and hi-def TV came out, I was like "eh, seeing the actors' pores isn't going to improve anything. Good plots and characterization would." And so it is with games as well.
I think it's safe to say that people over a certain age are never going to be watching the Oscars again because they won't know how to.
I'm not sure what age you think that is, but this semi-old guy won't be watching it because I don't want to. It's pointless and boring.
(And I'm not sure that I know of anyone, no matter how old, who "doesn't know how" to use YouTube.)
Like some Australian teens are now successfully (!) using to sign up to social media.
Lets face it, you cannot keep kids out of any mainstream social activity humans do. As soon as they are interested, they will find a way in. Trying to prevent them will only cause harm and have zero benefits.
I dunno; it seems to have worked for smoking. Use and demand fell massively, social approval vanished, now pretty much only losers smoke.
Real Users hate Real Programmers.
