Japanese has kana though. So a single character might not be a word. So it’s quite different from Mandarin in that respect. That said Mandarin does have pinyin with both romanized and bopomofo versions that act as a reading guide so I don’t think the idea that a single character may not mean a word is that strange of a thing.

The first year of college usually filtered those people out. Usually.

Unfortunately in my country this doesn’t happen. There’s a bell curve and as long as you submit your homework and do the bare minimum for the exams, you get your degree. You’re gonna have a pretty mid GPA, but you’ll have a degree which effectively makes the degree useless as an indicator of competency. The amount of people I’ve interviewed who couldn’t answer a simple programming question is astounding.

Most of these people end up picking up jobs as project managers because that’s all they can do. And the country’s leaders wonder why we don’t have much software R&D here.

China’s using CST/UTC+8 and while there are variations from the west to the east for the time of day, that’s only a variation of 5 hours in the worst case. I’m flubbing the stats here a little but essentially your average is going to be within 2 hours of daylight differences which is your variance across seasons anyways.

What was being proposed was something throughout the world where someone’s morning could be another’s night. That’s a huge difference and not at all comparable.

Am I the only one in this thread that feels like a vehicle here shouldn’t even have any form of internet connection regardless what nation it is from? The fact that this is from China doesn’t matter. Why does a vehicle even need network equipment (other than a FM radio at most)?

We shouldn’t be capitualting to any form of spying either way. In the first place, why is a vehicle phoning home? While I disagree, it’s still somewhat thinly understandable if the CarPlay or Android Auto system is doing it but if not, why?

Maybe it’s because I have an old Mitsubishi from almost a decade ago with a fully offline third party car entertainment system that came with it but it runs perfectly fine without any of this nonsense.

Words have meaning because many people want to use them. I very much doubt people would adopt something like this within the same country much less worldwide. You could be right and that people might actually change but for something so drastic (and cultural even), I’m willing to bet few would bother.

The audacity of these assholes…

Of course it’s the music industry…

You’re completely missing the point. You’re referring to recording as a noun but everyone else is referring to the verb, the act of recording. The very fact that it is capturing data for further processing regardless of how long it is stored or where is the problem.

There’s a big difference between what’s happening in the commercial world and art circles. I can’t speak for food but with regards to the topic here, Japan has a huge creator market and that market responds very differently. A year back, their biggest creator fair had a few “artists” selling AI “art” but essentially no one was interested and they hardly sold anything while others had sprawling queues. This year there was pretty much 0 as a result.

Errr who’s saying it’s creative? Their shareholders?

The article says that it’s lightly damaged but serviceable though? Where’s your source for the F-15s being damaged?

Yes let’s take something like player control which is fast, efficient and direct and see how we can make it inefficient, convoluted, imprecise and laggy. I can somewhat understand if they use it for NPCs but what is the point here other than making a worse player experience?

If you’re defining programming as simply translating an algorithm. Into code as is, sure it isn’t art. However, designing abstractions and the structure which allows said algorithm to work with various parts of a program seamlessly and beautifully can be art.

The selfie method stands out: on-device processing with no video retained is a meaningful privacy distinction.

Yea I don’t buy it

At least he gave us some basic window management features. It’s still miles behind what Windows and Linux has unfortunately.

A kid growing up today will never be smarter than AI

And who’s fault do you think that is?

It’s nice to have some guides pinned and to keep notes. Some games have had second screen mods but a number of them are vibe coded and some of these devs broke open source licenses doing it so I’m steering clear of those.

Wii U is another platform that benefits from it as the bottom screen acts as the Wii U tablet controller though I’ve not yet tried it out personally.

A country with no concern for international law or human rights should not have that kind of supranational power. I’d feel safer with Chinese electronics in all honesty.

This describes both the Americans and the Chinese. But I guess you can pick the lesser threat based on your circumstances. The Chinese have been far more aggressive in my region so if I’m forces to choose, well the choice is clear.
