They're brilliant at making games. They have their suite of exclusives that people love and will buy the console for. And they keep a consistently high quality bar for those games. Even the worst Mario game was still good. Same for Zelda. Same for Metroid. As long as they keep that the case, and their consoles are reasonably priced they'll sell. Which, combined with cheaper parts, is why they generally made a profit per console rather than a loss.

Xbox and PS don't have that. They used to each have some exclusives- but they've gone away from that road due to the high cost of creating them (Nintendo's focus on gameplay over high end graphics also reduced the cost of making a game). Even the exclusives they do have don't have the reputation for quality- they tend to run hot and cold. And MS in particular has waffled between wanting to push xbox vs PC gaming, reducing the number of exclusives as they launch on PC. It leaves them in a place where there's no driver for their new product other than better graphics quality. And with the economy tightening, that's something that will be dropped first.

Comment America's War Department (Score 5, Informative) 216

America does not have a "War Department". It has a Department of Defense, or Defense Department. Renaming it requires an act of Congress, which has not happened. The AP journalistic guidelines also indicate that the Department of Defense name be used unless quoting a source. If you use Department of War, you are to include the fact that this is an unofficial name and that an act of Congress is needed to change it.

Training these models is incredibly expensive. In fact it's so expensive that there is no viable economic model to do so. As such, their options are either to drastically slow down the amount of new models trained or to go bankrupt. This is just a nice whitewashing of that. It remains to be seen if even using their models can be profitable, but we know that with the cost of training the next one they can't be.

This is the prevailing dogma, but has recently been challenged from more recent observations. (In defense of the dogma, we have very aggressively tested for preferred rotations with local experiments involving high energy particles. If there *is* a preferred rotation, its effect is vanishingly small, to the point of being functionally indestinguishable from flat spacetime at local scales, to an astonishing level of precision. This strongly suggests 'sampling error' for JWST data that follows)

https://academic.oup.com/mnras...

Recent large area surveys by JWST suggests that there is a preferred rotational direction and axis to disparate galaxies. Such a finding is inconsistent with the presumption of widescale anisotropy. (But again, that's a very bold statement)

It may yet be ruled out through further observations as a sampling error, but the statement that there are *no* indications isotropy is incorrect. The mere existence of this survey says otherwise.

If there really is a universal preferred rotation, then a 'fuzzy', 'proximal' position could be given as a baricenter. It wouldnt be definitive; too much can happen as random events to compute an exact baricenter, but a statistically probable, proximal area could be defined with some confidence threshold.

Again, *assuming* the JWST readings arent just a sampling error. Which it probably is.

None of that is true. Grow up and learn how to understand and rate journalism. Start with Appling the spj code of ethics to media.
" Anyone who defends that is off the deep end self-deluding and in full on denial of reality. "
So you post a factual incorrect statement then call anyone with facts delusional. JFC, take some actual media course. Like, in a class room.
