Gaming@beehaw.org•$600 Million And A Decade Later, Where Is Star Citizen?
11·3 years agoDev is actually going pretty well. What they have achieved is pretty amazing.
But they are going to say the game is in ‘alpha’ as long as they can, because it means they can keep collecting “pledges” instead of “paid content”.
I bet that has some tax purposes.

World News@lemmy.world•Canadian police won't investigate doctor for sterilizing Indigenous womanEnglish
462·3 years agoI mean, what’s the context here? I doubt doctors are sterilizing people because of some evil agenda. If she was already undergoing explorative abdominal surgery, I’d wager they found a pathology that requires her reproductive organs to be removed.
If they didn’t get her consent during the preoperative information, then that’s malpractice and a part I don’t understand. However, I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.
Definitely a you-problem. There don’t exist a dog too stupid to learn to sit on command. Them barking to wake you up continues to happen, because you allowed it to work in the first place.
If a dog barks and sees you raise… well of course they’ll continue that behaviour in the future, if it’s successful.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•And now Bezos is trying to insert ads everywhere
1·3 years agoNot really. Fixing systemic problems is not up to the individual. I’m paying for music, which i already only due to the convenience.

10·3 years agoYep, absolutely. My family still has spotify and netflix subscriptions, but i already canceled prime before the previous price hike. I’d have already canceled netflix if it was my decision and the only service i still see value in is spotify.
Same. My parents told me not to look straight into the sun, i saw it as a challenge.

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta is bolstering perks like happy hours and company swag as it pushes staff to return to office, despite its 'year of efficiency'English
24·3 years agoYeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.
Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.
The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg

16·3 years agoBecause the largest portion of employees are stuck in job, which they don’t love and for which they won’t give more than the minimum required effort. The minimum required effort becomes less, when there is less supervision.
Productiveness also obviously decreases, when you have to communicate with your colleges via zoom, instead of just speaking to them over the table. Seems like none of you had to work yet, but there are few jobs in which you need almost no communication and cooperation with coworkers.
Also most jobs require walking through the building (even if you sit behind a computer most of the day), because pretty much every company has a portion of its business that can’t be digitized. Can’t go down into the storage hall of a carrier firm to fix workers messing up the labeling, when you are working from home.

Technology@lemmy.world•George R.R. Martin and other authors sue OpenAI for copyright infringementEnglish
32·3 years agoThis will definitely change though. As LLMs get better and develop new emergent properties, the gap between a human written story and an ai generated one will inevitably diminish.
Of course you will still need to provide a detailed and concrete input, so that the model can provide you with the most accurate result.
I feel like many people subscribe to a sort of human superiority complex, that is unjustified and which will quite certainly get stomped in the coming decades.

Every time redditors talk about work from home in the context of job search: “it’s soo relaxed, no ones constantly looking over your shoulder to check whether you are working. You can easily take gaming breaks”

That’s only partially valid though. You gotta get up and get ready either way. I know some people don’t shower in the mornings and even worse: some don’t brush their teeth, but aside from the 1 minute job of putting on your clothes, you can’t count that.

Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.
