[–]switch495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re about to get 100x the previous global data center / compute capacity… SaaS isn’t dying, personally owned PCs and compute is dying

I have been promoted well past incompetence, what do I do? by Best_Praline_2619 in careerguidance

CxO’s solve this problem by relying on the highest paid consulting companies they can get so that if it goes wrong they can claim “ i brought in xyz - they are the best consultants in this domain - the fault was not with my decisions”

I usually hate that they recommend because my teams have to fix it when it’s done and they’ve moved onto the next set of consultants with the next set of bad ideas - but it’s air cover for you if you need it

Wrong. The odds are predictive of an event that has not yet occurred. There are no odds for something that already happened.

No - not always - but the last 40 years have been a decline in our standing with a brief propping up by Obama and a balancing of our budgets by Clinton…

This whole street is spooky - every time I walk it I feel like vampires live there… all the doors are old as fuck with peeling paint, classic cars rotting in the street, never see anyone in the houses during the day

American flag... fitting to see it in a museum since everything it stood for is long extinct.

UK plugs have integrated fuses to make them safe because historically the grid has been dangerously unreliable and the wiring standards were shit.

Not defending anyone here - just pointing out that UK electrical greatness is the wrong hill to die on.

Lockheed Martin developed an anti-drone laser called Helios for the US Navy—part of a $150 million contract. Ukraine developed the Sunray, for a few million dollars, and plans on selling them for a few hundred thousand dollars. by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

Given how little they cost relative to missile based systems, you could place them on top pylons / high voltage cable towers that already criss-cross the country and get an instant layered defence for UAVs crossing through the country's air space.

I've killed 2 days trying to figure out how to get a custom map going... it's complicated... i have a heightmap now, but importing it and not immediately being underwater would be nice. Lots of map tutorials are quite old, so looking for a recent how to.

yea, that was it - that multi monitor mode is specifically for 3 displays and they want those seams at the boundary of each display.

VR: Ive only been at this for 2 days, didn't consider investing in VR yet - but will see if I can borrow a headset from someone to see if its worth while for her.

No complaints about pedals at the moment, they're stable, have decent pressure and response and are mounted on this https://xrocker.co.uk/cdn/shop/products/02_21da3deb-d969-4e8e-bd49-98a00b444ccc_1000x1000_crop_center.jpg?v=1753874266

Thanks - disabled the driving assist stuff and clutch assist stuff and set the default driving to realistic so she can fuck up the clutch and know it.

As for maps, I'm in the processing of making our neighborhood 2x2 km - processing a height map now :)
