There's certainly been distrust/mild distain for the govt in Scotland, Wales, and The North since Reagan's gender-swap, Thatcher, for broadly similar reasons Reagan is maligned
In Peter F Hamilton's Commonwealth series of books, true artificial general intelligence 'woke up' from the computers designed to handle the incredibly complex calculations required to make and maintain long-distance wormhole connections. Quite analogous to this situation I feel
I can confirm a PS4 controller tilt sensor works with yuzu, so fundamentally it's possible, not sure a plugin for parsing the steamdeck tilt sensor exists though
Well without a stable home to do so in we aren't comfortable trying to start a family. We (me and my partner) are genuinely trying to follow the same playbook my parents, grandparents and great grandparents did, but even with a household salary about 3x median we're not yet able, at 30 years old.
We're not "not starting families", like its a choice. It's not economically feasible.
It's still misleading. a naive glance would make someone think co2 levels had risen to 800% of original value, when it's only 150% of original (which is obviously still terrifying)
We might still have mathematicians, but there was a job that was eliminated by calculators:
Calculators!
We have over time abstracted away the hard-for-people-easy-for-computers tasks to the point often people just do the hard-for-computers stuff, like interpretation of results, and coordination of next steps
I guess you could argue that in order to get correct/useful haptic feedback the full-dive interface has access to your nerves? And the interface is as counter-hackable as anything else in this world?
Thinking in-universe here, where this sort of system exists, wearing an equivalent of a full-dive-condom which prevents the feedback you speak of, would maybe make an operator too slow in responding to countermeasures or make the whole process the mental equivalent of walking through treacle. A skilled operator is more effective without it, despite the higher risk?
All of the above is pretty moot though in the real world, computers can and always will operate at a million times the speed of a person, I can't really see the value proposition of being "in" the computer, when all you'd ever really be doing is deploying icebreakers out ahead of you and waiting for the response
I feel like DevOps should be a skill to mention you have experience in (Ops with experience of Dev or vice versa) but somehow morphed into a job description all on its own, defeating the objective of the term completely
Without concentrating the sunlight, the max efficiency of a solar panel is about 68% conversion. With 1kW/m², and a solar panel the size of a 0.01m² phone (6.1 inch, 16:9) that's 6.8W to play with, at the theoretical maximum.
A quick check states a Raspberry Pi 4B at 100% CPU draws 6.4W, so in perfect conditions with a perfect panel, it's just about approaching feasible to run a chip on a phone sized panel.
However a Gameboy is much simpler than a Pi. It seems the Gameboy draws about [email protected], or 0.1W, which is very impressive. I would say that would 100% be physically feasible to power with a gameboy sized solar panel in our lifetime.
I think the mantras above might be important for a person who struggles with criticising things they can't change about themselves, height, beauty, hair loss, age, that sort of thing.
I agree that it comes across defeatist using these mantras in relation to things you can change, like skills, outlook, fitness, number and/or quality of relationships.
Am British, the guy above might be confused, "toss off" and "tosser" are euphemisms for masturbating and masturbator respectively, but "toss" on it's own has no such connotations, at least in any regional dialect I am aware of.
If said employee were actively defrauding the company and covering their tracks, they would be unable to make any fraudulent transactions or track covering in those 10 days. It's probably more like 16 days ultimately since it's probably business days, so there are 3 weekends as well. This would show up as a statistical difference in rejected transactions, contract overshoots, expense claims, something like that, I don't commit fraud.
It would also potentially expose any conspiritors, because the locked-out employee's responsibilities+communications would be forwarded to someone else for those 10 days. This wouldn't help you if the locked-out employee contacted conspirator's out-of-band to warn them however.
At least, that's the explanation. I guess the logic is that to avoid this, you would need to be making _larger_ fraudulent moves, less often. This would show up stronger against the background trade. Alternatively, simply the existence of these very obvious anti-fraud measures discourages people even if it's entirely possible they are a placebo. Similar to Lie Detectors, which only work on people who believe they work.
I think it's value for company resilience doing forced hit-by-a-bus tests on their employees on the regular is far more valuable in the long run.
It was my understanding that in those cases the immune system overreacts because it hasn't been correctly calibrated by being properly challenged.
It's not that it's too strong, it's that it lashes out at things that aren't actually threats because it's ability to recognise what is and isn't a threat is diminished
