If you stick one of those in your home PC, it's sort of a upgrade to recycle bin anyway. Write once, never read, except you could if you really needed to.

So now they seem to go for "it's all a subcontractors fault"? I wonder what the next excuse is.

Hollywood has no problems, the profit machine goes brrr... The movies that come out are mostly shit, but the industry hasnt been about the movies for a long time. Its about advertising campaigns and merchandising. And it works because people are bored and just looking for some brainrot to spend time on.

Hatsune Miku is doing pretty good, being a real person is not required.

Get lost, the background characters will be made by AI mill for no cost at all as many as you want. The main characters are wee bit more difficult, names on the poster sell, but even there optimizations can be had. If crowds can be tamed to not care about the actors, there is no need for actors, the entire movies can be AI generated.

Never removed a wall panel to see what is going on inside? You might keep yourself clear of moving parts and stay reasonably safe that way, but removing a barrier is a compromise in safety that would not be allowed for an operator. Safety is not an absolute thing, from the get go risk analysis starts with probabilistic estimates, at no point is it assumed that accidents are completely impossible, or even should be. They just have to be improbable enough.

I think KUKA knows robot safety well enough and even they have this https://www.kuka.com/en-de/ind...

Press doubt on that one. Who the hell physically goes to some location every month to pay their bills to begin with? If they are making their own lives so complicated, I bet they share the fun with customer service too. Sounds like a crowd that is all trouble, no revenue.

Well, it did a number of successful dives down to Titanic, so can't call it fake. Of course, suffering such pressures once and managing it repeatedly are different things. Especially with a composite hull they built cutting every corner and ignoring all safety rules and regulations even when they were waved at their face. The results are unsurprising.

Not very relevant as it wasn't the piloting part that failed, I fully believe piloting the thing wasn't rocket science, doesn't matter who was doing it as long as they kept to open water. On the other hand, building the thing to withstand marine environment and repeated pressurizations to 380bar, with nice comfy standard environment inside, now that's a very different matter. Alas, they also cut every corner there and went la-la-la with fingers in the ear when people were pointing out obvious safety violations. Buy now it's pretty clear the craft suffered structural failure so that's the part that killed them.

Advertising is the way the entire enterprise earns money, that's on the earning income side of things, not expenses side of things. Hosting is of course a cost and a big one, but there is not a whole lot of manual labor involved so its relatively cheap. But to make a site valuable advertising real estate, you need moderation and that's a lot of manual labor. If you had to actually pay for it, it would be a horrific cost, or you would resort to bot mods that do a much poorer job. If you don't have moderation, then what you end up is something like 4chan, which is unsellable for advertising and can't earn significant amounts of money. Unpaid moderation of user submitted content is what makes the entire Reddit business case. Pissing off both mods and users is probably not a sound financial decision.

"You would basically need a radio-astronomy size antenna on the other side, precision targeted on a fast moving satellite" High gain antenna does not a little, but a lot, 30bd gain is 1000X better signal you know. Yeah, you need a pretty big phased array on the sat, but you very much can do it, already has been done with 5g from sat down to regular phone. You can do lora to cubesat without high gain antenna, doing bluetooth with one is definitely doable. Line of sight and high gain antennas change the equation a lot more than many people expect.

Sensor data, remote controlled gates, tracking objects, lots of things become much simpler and cheaper to do.

Radio waves don't just stop at some magically specific distance, given line of sight and high gain antenna on one side and its not so weird at all to go from short range to orbital comms. The critical part of course is line of sight, it's not going to work so well for devices inside buildings etc.

That's not really how it works. First of all, 5G is a very large set of different standards, some of which are optimized for small range high bandwidth cells, but not all. Secondly, the small range tradeoff doesn't really apply for highly directional line of sight communications such as phone to satellite under open sky.

It's not that high band signal stops working at some small distance, it very much doesn't. The problem is visibility, high frequencies are more easily blocked and scattered by obstacles that are not much of a concern for lower frequencies and that makes effective range for ground based communications very limited. But it's not an issue when you have direct line of sight.

Is memorizing syntax learning to code, is that enough for job security? Of course not. Learning to code is learning to build modern technology. One aspect of it is how the business side of it works - jobs ain't forever and sooner or later layoffs will catch up with you. That's fine, nature of the business, there are other opportunities elsewhere, because there is near infinite amount of technology yet to be built.
