> Slides are entirely appropriate, especially if the teacher is teaching the same class multiple times per day.

I have had Maths professors who were teaching the same class for decades. They would pencil it all out on the blackboard. We copied it by hand. This slowed everything down and we got time to digest the content. First questions could be asked and answered.

And yes, we all had laptops, but we kept them in the backpack.

It was awesome.

It's a human behaviour questions. So I don't feel my age is relevant here, since I am not everyone.

If you think it's reasonable that a person is going to be strapped into a headset at a child's birthday party, then that is indicative of what you believe would be socially normal or acceptable behaviour. I dare say other family members or guests won't see it that way.

In my opinion the idea of any person walking around with a headset on in social settings is not realistic.

There is a not subtle difference between picking up a phone and filming something versus living an event where the only visual stimulus one receives is a second hand video feed. The discussion here seems to be pinned to an idea that this is equivalent, I can say very confidently that it is not.

Side note: I don't live in a bubble, I'm pretty accustomed to watching the stage via other people's phone screens when I don't have a direct view. I also film when I have someone in mind to share it with. However the idea that people are filming to use the footage is largely wrong, they're excited and enjoying the moment and want to capture that somehow, so out comes the phone, they might show some of it to a friend later, or a social post, but largely it's unused and not looked back upon. This behaviour is not comparable to wearing a headset.
My company provided me an iPhone SE and it's such a bad experience, I can't recommend it. Feels like it's from 2010.

Having seen quite a few of these, amongst the feeling of validation I can't entirely shed a sense that this is also a list informed by snobbery, and the trans-epochal hipsterism of "It's only cool because I said so and now you say it, its not cool" movement.

Some of the experimental, art-house films are in the bucket of "massively influential, but not that many people watch it all the way through" Like Chien Andalou. -And speaking of Luis Buñuel how come only his b&w stuff gets "in" and not "the discrete charm of the bourgoisie" or "that obscure object of desire" or "Belle Du Jour" It's really in the end, about a bunch of prefereneces weighted by "everyone else's eyes are on me"

The more recent and high score films tend to box office. It's also heavily weighted into specific genres and styles. One Indian movie, despite the massive weight of Indian film production.
The iPhone is improving less and less generationally and faces stiff competition. Regarding the regular iPhone, I haven't seen Apple be this far back in display tech in such an expensive product since 2017 when the MacBook Air was still using a 1440x900 display.

The pricing of the 15 pro is pretty remarkable to me considering apple is paying for titanium and 3nm silicon this time around. It's also interesting how Apple has knocked down the price of the Pro and SE models every generation.
How isn't it Nvidia's fault? Nvidia refuses to compete.

They refused to compete for the Sony contract, they refused to compete for the Microsoft contract, they've refused to compete for countless Top500 supercomputer contracts. They didn't just not win the bid, they didn't even bother bidding in some cases.

They "competed" for the Switch contract because they had a warehouse of SoCs that were made for an era of gaming phablet that never happened and selling them at cost to Nintendo was the best they could do.

You know how they chose to compete? They bought Mellanox, a smaller but extremely competitive company in the high bandwidth interconnect market.... which after the Nvidia acquisition, Nvidia dropped the Mellanox name (maybe the most valuable thing in the entire acquisition!)

I'm straight up glad I don't own Nvidia stock. I'd have an ulcer if I did.

I'm not saying AMD is magically better here, AMD has all of their corporate and technological warts too... but at least they show up and do the job. Nvidia doesn't even show up.

But if we have the capability to destroy another civilisation 120 light years away, then we also have developed far beyond the need to, and they will know that just as well as we will know that.

I think it is impossible to survive as an exterminationist species to the point of having non-trivial interstellar reach. If you (as a species) were that inclined toward destruction, then you would not survive.

The counter arguments of, “Well, look at us!” are not convincing to me. We might well be that destructive, but we certainly have not developed to the point of non-trivial interstellar reach. I am not even convinced yet that we will get to the point of intrasystem mastery much less interstellar reach before we destroy ourselves. I hope we can overcome our barbarity, but there is no guarantee.
Especially when a US general says "We'll be at war with China within 2 years". They'd be absolutely negligent not to prepare for a war with the US.
Yes, this.

So many devs get caught up on which language is used. I have my pet languages that I prefer too, but at the end of the day a game engine is about creating games. So long as the language offered is reasonably usable and one can deliver a fun and engaging experience with it, the language bindings don't matter much. Everything I've read about GDScript indicates that it fills the need, is fun to use, and generally gets out of the way so devs can focus on creating fun and engaging experiences.

The only reason I see having C# support is critical is if a Dev is porting from another engine (i.e Unity) midway through development or if the dev/studio has lots of boilerplate code or libraries already written for prior titles. If starting from scratch, I don't see a good reason to stick with it.
Squash! :)
most manufacturers gimp their smaller phones so its not surprising that the larger versions sell more

I've got a 12 mini and I'm disappointed that they wholly discontinued the line. Unfortunately those of us who preferred smaller phones were apparently in the minority.

No, just PTSD from my WordPress blog. I would use a static site generator if possible.
The idea is that Professional Development should be sought elsewhere, not from the CEO. That's not the same as 'no one needs professional development'.

If you do not do Professional Development, and make this clear to your hires whom you expect to be pretty good at their job functions already, I do not see how it should be treated as cultivating yes-men. 'I don't do Professional Development' is also not the same as 'I can't take feedback or let someone call a spade a spade'.
Apple's Proton is just a fork of DXVK with less upstream support and a more restrictive redistribution license. The best "support" money can buy is killing Game Porting Toolkit and supporting Vulkan in-OS. They're already an underdog in the graphics API world, playing hardball with people who don't care will just end up in a lot of unported games.
Maybe the answer is multi-step: first use curated primary sources, e.g. scientific papers. Then reinforce using well written summaries, perhaps by actual models or well graded student papers. Finally, somehow apply negative weights using wrong answers only. Bonus points if you can automate the whole process
apple's chargers are already universal you just have to swap out the plug
When the 14 Pro came out I bought one day 1 to replace my 12 mini.

I figured the size would be an issue, and I definitely didn't like it as much as the 12 mini. But the worst part I didn't even foresee was the weight. It was SUPER uncomfortable to use one-handed, I was constantly terrified it would fall out of my hand. I ended up returning it and buying a 13 mini.

The switch to titanium is a good move. Even barring the weight, while the stainless steel is certainly eye-catching and looks great out of the box, as soon as you use the thing it's covered in smudges, and infamously is prone to getting covered in scratches over time.
Disassembled cars on fire at Sydney airport are not a common occurance and are absolutely news. The publisher is an Australian nes site for Australians, who don't really find EVs contraversial.
How would you define a micro-transaction?

Maybe we need a pornography-like definition ("I know it when I see it") but I think there is certainly a continuum from high-quality DLC / expansions to existing games (which can be basically a new game) down to crystals which allow you to instantly buy something which you'd have got anyway if you had waited.

So, consider a basic, Mario-kart like racing game - which of these are OK, and which are micro-transactions?

- buying additional courses,

- buying additional characters (drivers), vehicles, or components of vehicle (e.g. wheels, engines, bodies),

- buying purely cosmetic changes (e.g. driver outfits, vehicle colours),

- buying permanent upgrades to your vehicle(s) (i.e. more speed, better acceleration, better handling)

- buying one-off power-ups that last for a single race, or are time-limited (+50% acceleration for 1 hour)

- buying 'cheats' - obvious play-to-win items (e.g. needing to complete 1 fewer lap than your opponent),

- buying regular game-progression; e.g. maybe 100 races/wins/hours of play are normally required to unlock all courses, but this can also be instantly purchased.

- any of the above options, but not bought directly, but rather via purchasing 'crystals' which can be exchanged for the above.

- any of the above options, but in a 'gatcha' style (i.e. loot boxes; you cannot choose which upgrade you want),

I think I'd be totally OK with the top three, maybe OK with buying permanent upgrades, and unlocking game progression (in this case), but the others are too far for me.

Apple just released update for SE 2016. I wouldn’t worry.
Nice - I hadn't see this one
Plus, as a developer, you're not required to go through Steam, if you don't think it's worth it.

There are plenty of other options (Epic Games, Microsoft Store, etc.), each with a different revenue share arrangement. Or you can self-publish on your own website and infrastructure (Minecraft did this and it worked out pretty well for them).

Most developers (not all!) clearly have decided that the value Steam provides (features+audience) is worth it. But, crucially, with Steam, it's a choice. With iOS, it's not. You are forced to go through the App Store whether you like it or not (for now, at least). And if tomorrow Apple decides that 30% is not enough and they'd like a bit more, there's not much you can do about it.

(Apologies if this is not terribly relevant to the rest of the thread, but it bugs me when I see this kind of "apples to apples" comparisons between Steam and the App Store)

Let's not do this, please. This is a disgraceful way for any person or company to behave.

1:1s are a peculiarly American thing (in my experience) - perhaps something to do with the individualistic yet somewhat still old fashioned and hierarchical business culture?

1:1s are problematic because they discourage/displace lateral communication between team members and encourage siloing. Everyone has to guess what 'the boss' said to the others, and to figure out which piece of the puzzle they've been entrusted with - classic oppressive divde and conquer strategy. Of course for people who may not be comfortable in social settings, 1:1s may be the only thing they can grapple with properly.

It sometimes startles me how disconnected some people are from nature. I can't imagine all our pine trees dying off, it seems utterly horrific. It would be devastating to biodiversity and I would deeply miss the trees themselves. But to the author:

And later:

This is part of what we're doing at Automorphic. Building shareable, stackable adapters that you can compose like lego bricks.
Unfortunately, there aren't enough of us to merit it. The 12 mini was a trial balloon for how well a smaller sized phone would sell, and people didn't show up for it. On the plus side (no pun intended), it looks like the yearly increase in average phone sizes has halted.

It's worth nothing that there are practical costs for a smaller phone: You can't fit as much battery into a smaller package, but people want to use a smaller phone the same way they'd use a larger phone.

What are some interesting programming projects that one can do without an internet connection? I would like to attempt them with nothing more than the official documentation of the language I'm working on.

I mean… while maybe a bit reckless I wonder how much cash was saved and if anything really went wrong. 100m/yr is a wild amount of expenses.

9 months is just crazy to shuffle boxes from one place to the other, all while bleeding cash.
The 14 Pro's edges are also worse because of how damn heavy the thing is.

The 15 Pro is said to be about 9% lighter thanks to the titanium, so hopefully that will alleviate some of that issue too.
Yeah, I'm so sick of lugging a Switch and a ridiculously huge Steam Deck around when my iPhone 14 is way more powerful than either one, but all that power is wasted since there just aren't enough decent games to play

According to another article posted here, reinstalls and installs on multiple devices are counted. Though I can't imagine this going through, otherwise coordinated groups could bankrupt indie studios within days. Steam can use local backup data for reinstalls, so a single machine could easily cause $100+ in fees per day.
You can run 70B LLAMA on dual 4090s/3090s with quantization. Going with dual 3090s you can get a system that can run LLAMA 2 70B with 12K context for < $2K.

I built two such a systems after burning that much in a week on ChatGPT.

true, when you work on something you feel personally rewarded/challenged by, you rarely compare yourself to others, i think if you feel like your life is being wasted and you aren't living up to your potential then you start comparing yourself and feel bad.
I really liked the Mother Nature part. It may be greenwashing but it’s encouraging to see the world’s biggest company taking these steps.

Planting forests, installing solar grids, carbon neutral offices, that all costs the company, it’s not cost savings disguised as green actions. Sure it has marketing value, but that’s hard to measure.

Smaller plastic free packaging and shipping by sea on the other hand could be made to save money without care for the environment. Being able to market it as green is just an added bonus.

No it’s in the phone now, unlike how it was with lightning cables.

You could stick a toothpick inside a lightning port on a phone to remove pocket lint, you can’t do this with USB-C without a higher risk of damaging the phone.

USB-C on the phone side has a protrusion that slots inside the cable end the same as previous usb cables. This is the fragile part, but it’s still a big improvement over micro usb.
