You are literally asking for a shitty search engine. What business would make a product purposefully bad for 99.9% of its potential customer base. And no, companies should not be making options for users to select which "algorithm" they want.

Thread locked. This topic is old and has already been poste-- Wait... It happened again!? Oh boy. At least it wasn't the same person as last time.

This is def key.  The people making big money 'just playing games on Twitch' are not 'just playing games on Twitch' because there are thousands and thousands of people on Twitch 'just playing games on twitch' and making peanuts, if that.  The ones making the real money are in a constant hustle to keep eyeballs on screens, keep their names in viewers minds, be entertaining in way the viewers want, play the games the Viewers want to watch, all of that.

Honestly, a lot of what it takes to 'be relevant and make money' as a 'content creator' sounds like my own personal vision of hell.  At least with my job I could go on vacation for a month and my job is still there.  You do that as a content creator and half your viewers migrated to watch other people because you didn't keep the content flow going.

Called it. The thread devolved into "wow, I can't believe someone else doesn't know this thing I know. They are so dumb". 
 
I wonder how many of you people are Windows kiddies that doesn't know much about computers in general. Doesn't know programming, doesn't know how a scheduler works, doesn't know how a processor works (and no "it calculates stuff and MHz measures how fast" is not knowing how it works) doesn't know even basic *nix commands. 
 
Hell, most of you probably don't even know how routing and switching works. You post on this forum yet you don't understand how your computer sends information over the internet? Cringe!
 
 
Do you know programming, so that you know how your computers work?
Do you know routing and switching, so you know how your routers and switches work?
Do you know how compressors work, so you know how your fridge works?
Do you know about the chemical concepts happening when cooking and eating food? How yeast works, how the maillard reaction happens, how the body converts the things we eat into the things we need to survive?
Do you know cars work? I don't mean "they burn fuel to move forward" but the intricate details about things such as how power steering functions (not just "it makes it easier to turn the wheel" but how it achieves that effect)?
 
 
The fact of the matter is that most things we come into contact are very complicated. You really do need to be very well researched into even tiny things to understand how they work. A lot of people don't realize how complicated even things that seem trivial actually are.
 
I really like the analogy that knowledge is like a balloon. The more air you put into the balloon, the more you inflate it, the more "unknown knowledge" (air outside the balloon) you come into contact with. Basically, the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know everything.
 
The people who think they know everything are those that have very little air in their balloons to begin with. There is a phenomenon about this called the Dunning–Kruger effect.

I agree if it is in a major class not geared toward first year students. I'll describe my experience in a first year course. The professor goes over basic Linux commands for about 20-30 min during a lecture. From that lecture on, we are expected to know it. If you are struggling with it for a bit, then ask for help from the TA. It didn't take long for everyone to be on the same page for linux commands. I don't think you can really consider that hand holding.
 
In all future courses, we are expected to be able to do use them. For ppl who transferred or are master students, they would learn by themselves to catch up (whether it be Linux, a new programming language, etc.) quick and ask TAs for help if need be. Routinely, I would have to learn new languages for a course in the beginning weeks on my own (maybe some help from a TA who would run a small crash course for us outside of class time).
 
Most people probably don't go into CS or IT completely certain of their passion and that's fine. A lot of people develop that passion throughout the years after learning more and more about it along with the struggles (though all the late nights struggling to come up with proofs certainly didn't help my passion for CS). A lot of people I know who excel at CS came in without any programming experience, but were really strong in math. Now they are doing ML research, etc. etc.
 
Even if they aren't passionate about CS, I nor employers care about their passion if they are competent and can do the work which most will be at the end of the program.

Other crytpos maybe.  Bitcoin the way I see it is too flawed as it currently stands to act as any form of legal tender.
 
For this, you would have to argue against the following:
- 1 blockchain about every 10 minutes.  [144 a day]
- Let's even assume 10,000 transactions per block (which it's not...it's more like 3k), that's 1.44 million transactions a day.  There are an estimated 1.01 billion bank transactions per day (https://www.cardrates.com/advice/number-of-credit-card-transactions-per-day-year/).  You are off by a factor of 1000x for banking transactions per day...plus the added transaction cost [which back end banks would not be paying].  Oh, also if you include credit card transactions, you are talking about 5000 transactions a second (another 1000x more than what is currently capable).
 
So yea, it's not feasible.  Also, there in general is too much instability in the pricing of BitCoin (and crypto in general)

Though the intent was sarcastic, you do have to realize that the upper limit in the US has always been 1500w (one 15A circuit.) One gaming PC is between 650 and 1000w, and a HTPC or Workstation with two or more GPU's can easily hit 1500w.
 
Now, as for "oh no-fun california" type of comments. These are the same states that implement green standards first, because they benefit everyone EAST of them. Remember Acid Rain? You know what industries did? They made the smokestacks taller so the pollution would be spread over a wider area. Acid rain in North America has collectively declined by about 75% since 1980 due to such green rules.
 
So why now? Why gaming PC's?

Gaming PC's are collateral damage. This is being sped up by cryptomining, and various other energy-intensive computing, and we're seeing the beginnings of this problem in countries that had not moved swiftly enough to get on top of it, and now they're experiencing power cuts.
 
So by 2040, with no new generation capacity (Western North America's energy grid will be at less of a risk, but continent-wide there is very little room for new generation capacity without destroying some other resource in the process.)
 
This is regarding the idle power use, not active, though I suppose PC's with no iGPU probably make that harder to hit, and liquid cooled models have a pump constantly running, and if businesses had to make a choice, they would just buy everyone laptop's that can hit that target.
 
This probably does not apply to DIY builds, at least not self-assembly builds, as no part in a DIY build independently will go over the power budget. 
 

The fact that the open source alternative was developed by reverse engineering the product and took data "for interoperability". Even if none of the original code is in it, the fact that they likely decompiled it and saw how it worked and wrote code based on their observations is very sketch to me. 
 
He must not be affiliated with a university because this would be a huge violation at least from my limited experience in a research lab.

But its not. Chip production hasn't fallen much at all, in fact companies like TMSC have ramped up production during the pandemic. It's the increased demand of people staying at home that people didn't foresee (at least not with the lead times you need to ramp up factories) causing the shortage.

Maybe if these CEOs were talking out of their domain. But as the CEO of an absolutely massive networking hardware (and software) company like Cisco, I would imagine he would have a pretty good idea of the supply chain that directly affects their business. Sure its still a guess, but probably a much more informed guess than most of "everyone else".

yeah no, the complexity is by far the hardest thing that is demonstrated in this video. Asimo is cool for what it is but can't do shit compared to what is shown in the video. The dynamic movement, the ability to balance on one foot, being able to jump in a meaningful manner, the ability for it to do complex movements that require it to carry momentum over from previous states, etc. The actual hardware itself (actuators, batteries, materials, etc.) aren't drastically different from 20 years ago. The amount of computing power, planning algorithms, advancements in computer vision, etc. and absolute talent concentrated at BD. is what has.

Alternate perspective: a real phishing scam would pull no punches in appealing to every emotional weakness, so it would be irresponsible to make your tests weaker. That would only teach people to think "oh, this would be really mean if it were a scam, so it must not be."
