it's ok, they'll rehire them in 3 years to do it again

This isn't exactly true, every PS5 game (on disc) that i've loaned to my brother (and vice versa) has worked just fine with just the disc.

No, just like every other digital xbox or playstation game, the game is tied to your account and you can reinstall it as many times as you'd like.

The code is usable one time to add the game to your playstation or xbox account, and then you can download it as many times as you'd like from that account.

Except there's no PC version now, so unless you download it to a Playstation or an Xbox, you won't enjoy the game on day 1 anyway.

Yes, at a very cinematic 24 fps

The problem is that without some credentialing process, it's very hard to show that a person can actually do things. This creates perverse incentives such as cheating on exams (and generating thousands of low-effort AI-generated PRs for every github project...)

This sort of thing never happens outside of the united states. Nosiree, everywhere else is a paragon of the moral highground.

So do you think having easily-cheated exams is progress? Do the benefits of remote exams outweigh the cost?

Every piece of technology is riddled with flaws, the financial system is pretty much an unpredictable casino, and healthcare is in the toilet. Maybe we should more aggressively filter out the pipeline that creates the professionals that keep our society running?

Wow this comment came off weirdly aggressive, but whatever.

Those companies are all run by people that are by-and-large not computer experts, pay a lot for software, and are just salivating that the idea of not paying so much for software. They've been sold a fantasy by the AI con-artists, and now they can't possibly change course because that would be embarrassing. The entire AI industry is an incredibly successful con at this point.

What were they doing before? Boiling the oceans, buying all the ram in the world, gaslighting investors (Mythos is scary! we can't show you but trust us!); they have never been about anything *but* the detriment of all.

Yeah, it's a funny mistake assuming anyone on slashdot in 2026 is young...

I have been off of robinhood for a few years (since the gamestop thing happened) but at least as of a couple of years ago there were no transaction fees. Is that no longer true?

having a higher probability of one outcome vs another doesn't really negate the randomness though -- even probability isn't a requirement for true randomness. It only means that the outcome can't be influenced from the outside. A truly random 1-bit generator with a 10% chance of 1 and a 90% chance of zero can still be truly random. What you're describing is "a truly random number generator with a uniform distribution of outcomes"

You're assuming 6-sided dice here...
