Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the non-technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?
12·6 days agoAccountinq/management should adapt to the company way of working and not the other way around. I’ve seen project getting split in a way making no sense technically speaking, and product getting senseless names/reference but this is how SAP works, and accounting needs it that way

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses?
3·7 days agoA big thing is that a high end ram factory has a crazy price-tag, I’d say between 100 million and one billion Euro, and it takes years to build. Noway to step up production overnight at no cost. And when we talk about big money like that, investor get pretty conservative

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?
3·8 days agoI get your point about full time school which may require 2-3 years without income (even though in some countries you may keep your unemployment rights). But often, especially for shorter degrees, there is options in evening classes, whith less hours (sometimes at the price of a longer time) some would even give you real degree. Moreover, if unemployed, sometimes a 6 month training can give you the basis to be hired, either in a manual job, or to fix a missing skill on your CV

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Chinese companies will pick up the slack when it comes to consumer RAM and SSDs?
20·9 days agoThere’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with,
This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. (I even have a made in China Eastman guitar, for the price of the Taylor everybody has, I got a way better guitar, and that Taylor is damn great)
Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba,it’s great for hobby crafting but China has moved toward high quality products.
To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What happens if the AI bubble kept inflating and popped only after 10 years(2036)?
2·9 days agoIs it what i think it is?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?
4·10 days agoThere is relatively big ones including political organization who cover ads, or sue all ads not matching environmental laws, and a whole ad-free social media trend like for example Lemmy

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?
5·14 days agoPlatform like LinkedIn learning, on books no matter whether it’s about programming or management (or any other field, may be you want to learn material science or Korean). Usually, these ones are pretty tolerated by HR, especially if you can find even a remote link to your work. I would add fun side projects on work data/material, that you can use to get promoted (not only I am doing my job but I am experimenting with XYZ, meaning I should be at the next puygrude)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side?
2·14 days agoRussia attacks EU, US stay neutral, US stay neutral, China leverage on Russia being busy to invade Eastern Russia, the conflict spread to former colonies where Russia, China, France, UK are already in cold war. Meanwhile, Turkey finally attack Greece, and Iran takes the opportunity gain influence most likely with their spy network.
As usual, America stays neutral, until US get dragged in the war (Taiwan or Israel) while Argentina wait for the last day to formally declare war. Not sure whether Japan would invade China or take back the Sakhaline island
TL/DR : Russia/Turkey/Israel versus EU/China/Iran.
As you see I am absolutely not an expert
Have you heard about the AIhorde project by the DBzero community ?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What programming language would you recommend for teaching to non-technical people that use a variety of different OSes?
5·16 days agoWhat’s your target audience ? An what’s the goal ?
There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.
For general public, the good-old “Logo” that kids learned programming with in the 70-90’s is still great
for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn’t matter
For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'?
10·17 days agoputting them on display in museums would make them less available for study.
Very often, it’s the other way around, museum are a storage plage for scientific/historical/artistic artifact and the be in display is a bonus.
Government own many objects that have an important historical value, and they can’t sell them (beside law, imagine the scandal if the French gov sell the mona Lisa or if US gov sell Neil amstrong spacesuit) so better having them in public display

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if you legitimately don't remember the alphabet that well during a field sobriety test because you never use it?
17·19 days agoI still don’t get why the US sobriety tests are admissible by a judge. cops can just run a breathalyser test (or even a drug test), it’s faster than all these weird test and more reliable.
If your going to arrest someone anyway , you can even get a blood/urine sample for a lab-grade drug search.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is anyone else noticing this weird trend of brand new accounts posting memes and comics and stuff, does not engage in comments, get upvoted to front page, then banned?
1·19 days agoHad a similar issues, and could contact a mod with an alt account to get unbanned, but indeed looks like they used a nuke to kill a Goblin.
Also, I still don’t get the point for bot to post “engaging content”. At worst it’s a bit too cliché you wake up in the body of the last person you ask with or too rage-baity Say something good or bad about Israel but it’s not like karma is worth something here.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's this ram price surge thing going on in the memes? Is this gonna affect pre-builts, laptops, tablets, phones, and other electronics?
1·19 days agoBig companies tend to either have separated legal entities or to run each department with their own budget/business goals, which lead to absurdities like having contract to get an engineer from another department as an independent reviewer or long discussion between director-level executive when R&D tells logistic that instead of throwing an expensive but useless part away, R&D can take it for the lab(I’ve seen it, not sure that the money saved on the part was cheaper than the director grade meeting needed to make it happen)
I’ve seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That’s just ridiculous
Most of things that are “smart” dont need to be. Why does a fridge, toaster, TV, matress or oven need to be connected to the internet??! For what?!
I’ve recently seen an add stating that, big brand washing machine have WiFi, we have quality and low pricesbut indeed, it’s getting crazy, and what happens when you change ISP?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why books haven't all been translated to every language by now?
3·20 days agoTranslation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author’s style and pun. A niche book won’t be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.
With the power of “LLM” and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a “specific but uncommon context”. It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won’t be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)
Neighbour,
The small neighbourhood bookstore, hardware store, or food store may not be as cheap as a big brand, but the staff usually know what they’re talking about (nice in a bookstore, important in a hardware store when you have no idea on how to fix a leak). Moreover, they’re here, and don’t need 3 days of delivery.
Finally, shops nearby are part of what makes a neighbourhood nice, some people know it, and will spend the extra cash to not complaint about their dead/empty neighbourghood





The thing is that is would be a better emulation of RPG if you couldn’t reload at every death. The main difficulty is to have multiple story path which would lead to different outcome rather than a real win.
Actually, life is strange turn the video game roload mechanics into the rewind power
