Would AI inferencing, or training be better suited to a quantum computer? I recall thouse not being great at conventional math, but massively accelerates computations that sounded similar to machine learning.
But if we force schools to change their curriculum to align with MY version of reality, that makes it true! Right?
Or it's just a really really long con for a ton of content creators to make content about "the shocking truth they won't teach you in school!!!". Because I guess that's the only way to get idiots to actually understand something is by packaging it in some hidden conspiracy wrapper.
I worked at BlockBuster back when Netflix came out. It was legit a great contender, and an awesome service. BB had their own mail service, but it was just seen as a copycat. Also the franchise had a LOT of bad blood, and sometimes rightfully so. Depended on local management how much leeway you could have. The most lax stores that were lenient did the best.
The reason it worked was because physical media is protected by the first sale doctrine. So if you could buy a disc, it could be under one roof as rentable inventory.
Streaming and licenses is what fragmented everything and greed gave the appropriate incentive.
It also somewhat killed direct competition. When everything was physical on a shelf in front of you, all for the same price, you had direct comparison and competition. You could have any show or movie from any studio all side by side. That $2-5 could get you anything, across the board.
I saw this all coming from miles away. I don't blame anyone, every step sounded like a great deal. I see a lot of the same things with Gamepass. It's a great deal, and I don't blame anyone for using it... But I don't see it as being a long term net positive for the industry.
I really hate the term 'freedom' now. It's thrown around so much and it means basically nothing anymore. "Join this! Now with 20% more freedom!". Freedom to/from what? It's never stated, it's just a vibe.
Ever since they killed third party apps, I stopped using it on my phone. Now whenever I have time to kill on my phone, I'm on Lemmy. My PC still has the old interface and such, so i still check it from time to time at home, but never on mobile. I'm on mobile for news far more than at my desktop.
I'm dubious of the recycling claim. The partially cured resin is dissolved in some secret solvent. Usually when you dissolve something in a solvent, the intention isn't to recover the dissolved resin. They didn't really discuss the recovery process, leading me to think it's theoretically possible, but nobody will practically do it.
Still, dissolveable supports with a single resin mix is pretty cool.
I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.
I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it's a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.
I've tried one that works surprisingly well. Each sentence had great pacing, cadence, and correct enunciation- even had tone right when someone was shouting or angry or sad.
I wouldn't really recommend it, though. While I couldn't pick any single thing out that was wrong, overall it just didn't quite flow. It's like watching someone try to act that is technically doing everything right, but it just isn't good. It basically didn't understand the greater context of the story and was saying lines.
It was uncanny valley, but exclusively with voice.
Market self regulation assumes informed consumers that are smart enough to know what things mean. Also it assumes healthy competition and companies that are competing to make the best product at the chrapest price. It ALSO assumes brand lotalty isn't a thing, and consumers are judging things purely objectively.
Like, i understand the idea, but in practice there are a ton of caveats.
