Sony is very competitive in terms of first-party games, multiplayer shooters are maybe a special case. For single player story-heavy games Sony studies are probably the largest developers and publisher. Multiplayer games compete more direct

I got mine over a year ago by following a bot that tweeted when it was in stock at a few large retailers. Didn't take that long, and I also didn't have to be extremely fast (e.g. using a bot that automatically buys). I assume it i

This is a leak from court documents that indicates that the PS6 will probably be released in 5 years at the soonest. So there is still a lot of time. And I don't think the PS5 is that hard to get by now, though of course this will vary

As far as I understood the epigenetic age this refers to are a bunch of DNA methylation tests. All the other tests are in addition to this.

I would not put much trust into some poorly-understood biomarkers, especially ones that have grandiose naming like epigenetic age. The naming alone implies more than I suspect these markers can deliver. The price is also kinda ridiculous, $

From the blog post: > They presented some of the systems they’d built and yep, we were impressed. Then, with the startup CTO in the room, one of my fellow engineers asked the key question: “All these systems, are there any that wouldn’t

You can't really get rid of elements in biological systems. So you can only transform the chemicals into a less harmful version or accumulate and store them somewhere where they can't do anything. Some organo-mercury compounds are

The first LNG terminal has just been built (using a ship-based terminal I think, so somewhat different than a completely land-based LNG terminal). The plan is to buy the gas from somewhere else than Russia, and so far we're doing far b

Everyone that thinks it's obvious the US or some other ally of Germany did this is completely ignoring just how big of a risk this kind of action would be. There is an enormous difference between an enemy/opponent like Russia dest

Each pipeline consists of two strands that are some distance apart. So blowing them up separately is certainly possible. In the end those are 4 pipelines, they're just not all named separately.

Currently gas storage is at 100% in Germany. The efforts to reduce consumption also seem to have a significant effect. And this is with a blown up pipeline. Of course the energy situation has economic effects, but it's very far from no

Where do you get that idea from? There were absolutely no public indications at all that Germany was considering anything there. Russia throttled and then cut off gas delivery via NS1 entirely. This did not change anything about Germany&#x2

I have to assume the facts stated in the post, I don't know if they're real or not. The facts stated there are that the PhD student has 8 publications, gave their thesis to their supervisor and that supervisor essentially shut dow

by fabian2k 4y ago
If your PhD student publishes 8 papers with you and you only then notice or claim that they cannot graduate that is an enormous failure in supervision and mentorship in every imaginable case. Either the student is really not fit to do a PhD

by fabian2k 4y ago
It's far from trivial, but certainly possible to challenge this. If the student has produced research that would be considered worthy of a PhD by most experts, they have a chance to still get their PhD unless the local university polit

You can never judge the individual case, but you can give possible options on how to proceed. Whether this PhD student will succeed with them depends on the details we cannot know, but that is still useful information for them and others th

I really don't know enough about this topic to judge the impact, but from the data I can see this looks like it depegged lower than in the previous incident that was widely reported. That one was to 0.995 and this one is to 0.990 (at t

Why would you expect their salary to increase. And I think the whole "work the whole weekend to get the new Twitter Blue done" thing shows what kind of workplace this is likely going to be in the future.

The interesting parts it going to be how many people that are important to keeping Twitter running are going to quit in addition to the fired ones. It's not going to be a nice place to work for, so those people that are financially wel

As far as I understand Twitter had a paid option for $5 before, the change now is that they're raising the price to $8 and more importantly they are coupling this to the blue verified mark. But the reports also indicate that there won&

Germany hasn't changed anything. And there are also seriously complex ballots on the local level, so that isn't a limit.

Starship will certainly enable some new things we could not do before, or that were simply not economically feasible. But even then there is likely still a severe limit to the demand for launching payloads. All those payloads cost serious m

A full Starship will require 39 engines, and they will likely lose some during development. Even with a raptor a day that is less than 10 Starships a year. Of course if it is fully reusable and doesn't explode too often even 10 per yea

This article is pretty much just hand-waving away any cost arguments against nuclear power. The author is saying that if we had modern designs of nuclear reactors they would be much cheaper, they're essentially comparing hypothetical r

I think one valid point is that the coupling of storage between Email and other services can have rather annoying side effects. In most cases receiving email is much more important than being able to store more Images. Especially as receivi

One of the bigger differences is speed, someone that has used a specific framework a lot will likely be much faster in creating new stuff in it than someone that never used it. A lot of typical tasks will fall into the "I've done

This will consolidate again, and these tools are not all equal. They cover different parts of the whole thing. There is clearly a desire for faster compilation and bundling, and various groups and people are trying out different approaches

The answer seems to be caching ( https://turbo.build/pack/docs/core-concepts ), lots and lots of caching. Which enables it to reuse a lot of already computed stuff for incremental rebuilds.

There are games with very realistic character animation like e.g. The Last of Us Part 2. But that is a lot of effort, requires a lot of expertise and is likely very expensive. Correct animations can also conflict with fast and responsive mo
