I wish they’d hide more from me, specifically shorts and the “you may be interested in <sports thing/news thing/current event>”. It seems like no matter how many times I click not interested they keep coming back up. And I can’t hide shorts on AppleTV without going to the website and then they just pop back up every 30 days.
But if your hand is forced, it should always be 2x-10x the actual estimate, depending on the complexity of the task, and never less than 2 hours.
I wanted to propose that WH40K make a new Chaos God of Capitalism…and then I thought about for 5 seconds and realized they did. The Emperor. The Emperor is a god of capitalism. Which is an interesting (to me) perspective on the franchise. So, thanks for that random completely unrelated Lemmy comment.
The article mentions that previously they used pig cadavers with dyes and specially marked tissues to guide the robot. While it doesn’t specify exactly what the “lifelike patient” is, to me the article reads like they’re still using a pig cadaver just without those aids.
There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.
There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.
And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.
Some large asteroids have moons too.
Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).
no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.
Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?
Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”
Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.
Ah yes, the infamous “stinky cheese” email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.
Boredom is the key to learning something it’s just very likely that it won’t be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.
Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however…
Sure, just remember the S in IoT stands for security and IoT devices are just embedded devices connected to the internet.
And the Medical industry is the proof for the rule.
That is an excellent episode. It would probably have been my fourth pick. That or Arena, the Gorn don’t get enough love and while the episode is cheesy (more so then the rest of TOS), it’s a classic. But I had to go with Mirror, Mirror. The mirror universe episodes in any trek are some of my favorites.
Out of curiosity, which of your three TOS episodes did I miss?
TNG: Drumhead, I, Borg, and Chain of command (or if you don’t want a two parter, take your pick of Q who, Measure of a Man, or Yesterday’s Enterprise)
DS9: In the Pale Moonlight, Inquisition, and It’s Only a Paper Moon.
VOY: Living Witness, Tuvix, and Year of Hell (or again, if you don’t want a two parter, go for Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy)
TOS: The Devil in the Dark, The City on the Edge of Forever, and Mirror Mirror.
ENT: Similitude, Regeneration, and In a Mirror Darkly (don’t really have a good non-two parter to suggest over In a Mirror, Enterprise doesn’t have a lot of great standalone episodes IMO)
Movies: if you want to use these as examples, The Wrath of Khan for TOS and First Contact for TNG.
And I don’t really have a list for LD, PIC, DIS, SNW, or PRO.
Edit: for VOY, I might actually put Author, Author over Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy.
VR gaming is still pretty niche and expensive if you want a truly good experience. There also haven’t really been any major advancements in the space since the Valve Index almost six years ago.
Inside out tracking is still not where it needs to be and the base stations for outside in tracking are cumbersome.
Additionally, for the full promise of VR gaming to be realized you really need accurate full body tracking to include full hand tracking, a compact, easily stowable, but accurate omnidirectional treadmill, and some way to do all of the tracking without the need for base stations.
And all of that needs to be standardized across the industry.
I too enjoy VR gaming, but there’s been basically no movement in the VR space in a long time, and to most people VR is a novelty at best. Unless someone gives us a decade’s worth of advancement inside of a year or two, I expect modern VR will go the way of the virtual boy. Only to be revived again in 20-30 years.
What’s wrong with the sentiment expressed in the headline? AI training is not and should not be considered fair use. Also, copyright laws are broken in the west, more so in the east.
We need a global reform of copyright. Where copyrights can (and must) be shared among all creators credited on a work. The copyright must be held by actual people, not corporations (or any other collective entity), and the copyright ends after 30 years or when the all rights holders die, whichever happens first. That copyright should start at the date of initial publication. The copyright should be nontransferable but it should be able to be licensed to any other entity only with a majority consent of all rights holders. At the expiration of the copyright the work in question should immediately enter the public domain.
And fair use should be treated similarly to how it is in the west, where it’s decided on a case-by-case basis, but context and profit motive matter.
With phrasing like that, you should start a gang. Call yourselves the Autobots.
Really only a handful of things:
navigation while traveling - don’t need it much, if at all at home, but I travel often enough for work that losing that capability would be painful.
MFA - authenticator apps are the most convenient way to do MFA. SMS/email are terrible options for this and should only be used if there is absolutely no other option.
Access to the internet while away from home, both while traveling and while out and about
Music playback in the car
Communication - most of my friends don’t use SMS/voice to talk, instead preferring Discord or Signal
Basically everything else I do on my phone could be done from a more proper computer with minimal inconvenience.
