I think they said there weren’t any ex-Twitter employees working on Threads.
I’m calling for a Lemmy blackout until the bean content returns!
Nearly agree with everything you said.
But maybe Reddit is okay with a few 3rd party apps surviving if it means they can charge such a ridiculous premium on API requests. Perhaps they didn’t think any dev would be crazy enough to take them up on their offer. But at that point, they’re raking in so much money that they might not care those users are on a 3rd party app.
Yeah, Millennial here as well. I was lucky enough to have been able to pay off my loans. But I’m still pissed at the decision.
I hope Gen Z never forgets this.
That concept is already used regularly for training. Check out Generative adversarial networks.
Yeah, I’ve read how experts stated that the point where the dissimilar materials meet would be the most likely location of the failure. Titanium and carbon fiber will certainly behave differently under that pressure.
I think it’s far less likely to be the root cause, but I do wonder if the 380mm acrylic viewport had anything to do with the failure. It wasn’t rated for anywhere near that depth.
At the meeting Lochridge discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department—the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.
I remember the art of crafting the perfect google search query and knowing you’d eventually find that obscure bit of info. Now I have to quote nearly everything in my query and if a single result in the first 100 results is tangentially related, I’m grateful.
So much floof, so little time!
Not the same thing, but an older site/service where they would just randomize various automated responses during gaps in the conversation to keep the person on the phone. They have a bunch of recordings.
I think this would be considered Self-serving bias.
He specifically stated he didn’t want to hire older and experienced employees.
If y’all haven’t seen Louis Rossmann’s video on this topic, it’s a good and simplified explanation of why this is happening.
For me, I’ve always struggled with the definition of free will. Is there even a will to be free? The voice in my head is just a story “I” tell myself. So really, I’m just this conscious presence. I can observe thoughts that manifest within that presence. But those thoughts aren’t under my control. They’re just occurring.
I remember watching a video from Sam Harris years ago that really brought this to the forefront. Think of a movie. Any movie. What is it? Why did you pick that movie? Did you have conscious control over what movie you picked? Or did it just pop into your consciousness?
Either everything is purely deterministic, purely random, or something in between. But on that spectrum, there really isn’t room for free will. Simply the illusion of it.
I remember my friend setting up a movie night and inviting me and my other friends when he found a copy. That certainly was an amusing surprise.
Yeah, I’m totally with you there!
Around the 1 minute mark, he does mention that they keep spares onboard.
The article states that they’ve been lost before, but that they still had contact with the surface. Sounds like this is the first time comms has been lost.
They’ve come about and mainly just ended up as right wing hellscapes. Critical mass / the network effect are not to be underestimated.
I bought a 13" SurfaceBook 2 with the official Microsoft dock when it came out. I figured buying hardware from the company that makes the software would’ve given me the best experience.
After beginning to use the machine, I discovered that Microsoft’s own dock can’t even keep the machine powered under heavy load. The battery was discharging WHILE PLUGGED INTO THE WALL. I had to take breaks so that my computer wouldn’t shut down and could recharge.
I had been on Macs for years but decided to give MS a chance because Windows Subsystem for Linux looked pretty awesome. Needless to say, I’m back on a Mac.
