Yes?

Then what you were doing wasn't important. At least not enough to have a person do it.

We no longer have telephone switch operators, either, thankfully.

I don't believe his 30% number but whoever can be replaced by some dumb "AI" should be, asap. Those people can go pick lettuce or something useful.

I always found it shocking how all my startups that made it eventually grew from a few dozen laser focused high quality people to thousands who watched the clock, sitting on teams that didn't seem to have a real purpose. I assume it was all executive nest fluffing because adding all that dead weight never improved product, sales, or anything else. We just carried these people.

My all time favorite was when my 200 person company hired a mail girl. Her entire job was to take the US post delivery and hand deliver whatever crap mail came in to everyone around the office. Since we got almost no USPO mail, she 'worked' about 15 minutes a day and I had to listen to her loudly fighting with her bf on the phone for the rest of the day as my work area was near her relationship trauma zone.

An "AI" could have screamed at her bf, too, and without disturbing the rest of us. That would have been a vast improvement.

I've tested different resolutions in demo rooms at varying distances before I bought my system. I do t know what you consider normal distance. I tested against my viewing room and what various professional sources on the net said to use for different size/distance/resultion.

Have you? No?

Ok then. Thanks for adding nothing.

And I specifically mentioned sports for higher refresh rates here,
"so you can see current shows which are high action such as sports with a lot less motion blur and other visual artifacts'.

What's wrong with you?

Because you don't understand how resolution and screen size/distance works. Or you just have shitty AV gear. Or you're mostly blind.

I watch tv and game on a 150" screen. My projector is only 4k. If it was 8k or a glorious 16k, I could see a lot more detail sitting back at a reasonable distance of about 16 feet. There is a huuuuge difference between watching in 1080, 4k and what this could provide if the rest of the system supported it.

The other thing this provides is 4k at 120hz so you can see current shows which are high action such as sports with a lot less motion blur and other visual artifacts.

It's so weird how an obviously desirable technology with clear use cases for numerous normal people is now the next "no one needs 640k" tech. Did you also refuse to use QEMM and other extended/expanded memory managers in the dos days, too?

But oh no, I'll need to buy new cables! Jfc....

Posting anonymously was a good idea. Way to lie with statistics! Your own chart shows the huge increase in the rate China is producing while the US and EU 's rate in recent years is flat or declining.

Of course over time since the beginning of the universe (your chart) has the US and EU producing more but they're stopped and are now doing something about it while your CCP paymasters have ramped up co2 production like there's no tomorrow and there very well may not be if they continue on that path.

This isn't some dumb freshman college dorm debate. People here will actually look at your data and analyze it and call you out on your lies. You knew that which is why you checked the AC box because you knew your post was embarrassing and didn't want to be associated with your own post.

Checking AC was the only (inadvertently) honest thing about your post, revealing you knew it was a trash post.

Replacing in ten years would be nuts.

I have a very large and recent home solar on my roof. The break even point is roughly ten years and this is living in Avery sunny southern state.

After ten years I start to profit from the original raw install cost. At 14 years I break even on ROI taking into account how I could have invested that money and got 8% back per year from the market in average over time. But oh hey wait my battery warranty expires at 10 years so I'm on ice after that hoping nothing goes wrong with any of my $10,000 batteries.

My panels are American made and best in the industry at install date 3 years ago. There is no way in Hell I'm tossing the system and casually just replacing everything at ten years because newer panels are slightly more efficient and throwing out my investment. It would actually be a loss to do so. That is not how the real world works.

I am going to use these things til they die or I move and it becomes the new owner's problem. Every penny will be squeezed.

Conjugating verbs? Seriously? High school kids? No wonder you're losing their attention.

These are high school kids. Give them projects that would be interesting to them which they can relate to in their real life. I'm sorry to say it but your projects sound like they're designed to punish them not get them interested.

Give them a project to create music, make their own small game, perform a meta search across multiple engines to locate the perfect outfit for the party, etc.

I taught my kid basic programming with music creation. Programming isn't her thing but she got it and paid attention. I taught several junior / new employees to code at work with projects related to their actual work which automated away the low level repetitive mindless junk work they were doing.

Provide interesting projects which means interesting to them, which gives incentive to want to do it.

I'm perfectly aware of what that means. Arm will -never- push high compute out of the way. Not with its current design philosophy.

Did you read what I said? There are many applications for which the things arm is good at are completely irrelevant.

No one will ever buy arm for their business critical high compute jobs when there is something else available that provide more cpu horsepower for their compute jobs. That's career suicide because it's stupid as it will result in saving a few thousand dollars in hardware and power at the expense of countless millions of dollars in getting results faster with another solution as well as requiring more space and power vs a traditional high end solution to perform at the same speed, assuming your problem even can be divided up across multiple servers which many many can not be.

How much high compute experience do you have? I spent a large part of my later career doing exactly that for several organization in business and government. This is my field. In high performance computing we do not buy tablet level toys to run mission critical jobs.

Arm is great for certain things. Not for everything.

Power drain and heat are not the key factors in every form of compute. There are plenty of situations where getting work done quickly is far more important and often the only important measure of a CPU's value, power and heat and cost per unit be damned.

Finance, high end video creation/editing, weapon design and simulation tests (nukes), and certain business functions come to mind. Saving a few bucks per unit and pennies per hour for power and heat dissipation is nothing next to the value of real time stock market analysis & trades, minutes to hours saved on videos per day, or running a multi billion dollar business. I've filled a data center with low power CPUs early in my career. All that really happened was I ended up having to buy more servers, more space, more ac, and ironically more power since the cpu is not the only thing drawing box in a server. After realizing that mistake, I packed as many of the biggest baddest CPUs available in each rack that technology allowed, power and ac and per unit cost dismissed.

But for a light use laptop, a tablet/phone, vehicle and other device electronics, and so on, arm can be a great answer.

Arm is the future of its niche, not all compute and never will be.

Renewables and storage are known to work well?

Spain and Portugal would like a word with you.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people will constantly flat out lie when we have very re e t real world examples demonstrating the complete opposite.

Those headlines have barely left the news cycle and here you are telling us the exact opposite of demonstrated reality.

Amazing, truly amazing.

The extra baffling part is why people like you continue to push known falsehoods. What's the point? Why do you want everyone to move to a known failed energy production system? You know when your proven unstable renewables and storage systems fails, people die? Be it from heat stroke, freezing to death, power loss in hospitals, etc, your proven failed plans will kill people. Why do you keep pushing a demonstrated failed system?

So 4 years from now these clowns will finally STFU?

No, they'll just push the doomsday event back again like they have so many times before.

I used to believe this stuff but then I looked at their track record, their personal behavior, and the endless cultish calls for blind obedience and oppression of dissent and woke up.

Right now trees are being cut in a Brazilian rain forest to make way for roads and landing strip for the private planes these assholes will be citing to their next party / climate conference in Brazil which could have been done over zoom if it was only about the climate and not a big party.

If they won't change their own behavior and show concern for the things they're crying about then why should anyone else?

More of your propaganda and nonsense.

The mullahs and their heavies on the streets have been brutalizing women since they got into power. Absolutely nothing has changed. They were not losing power. They run the country as they always have, with an iron grip. There is no organized opposition. None. There was an uprising/protest in 2009 which was brutally stomped out.

It is laughable you would even mention a women's rights movement in Iran. What movement? There is no movement. There is no one, especially not women, pushing loudly in Iran for westernization of any sort.

Absolutely nothing you said has even a shred of truth.

Iran is now and always has been a brutal theocratic dictatorship since these bastards took over. There is no revolutionary movement in existence. There are multiple powerless ethnicities and trivial groups that would either break away or be taken over by foreign powers if there was a lengthy and dirty war for power after the mullahs are gone. But their destruction will be from outside forces. There is literally no internal counter power of any note that can step in or fight them.

Once again, you should have just got to the heart of your message instead of trying to sugar coat it with lies.

You hate Jews and anyone else who also hates Jews you see as an ally no matter how horrible they are.

Please burn your sock puppet points modding this down. Every point wasted on me is a point you can't abuse modding down someone else who sees you for who you are.

You wrote a 2 post multi page rant that could have just been summarized as:

"I hate Jews, the world would be better off if they were all dead, I have zero understanding nor concern for the real history/reality of the region. Gas them all".

Although your usual political posts are about the superiority of China's everything to western and in particular American everything, it makes me wonder if you have a second pay master or the CCP has decided to take a hard stand against Israel after they counter-attacked Iran.

Either way, your posts are an amusing blizzard of ridiculous anti-history and I strongly encourage you to keep posting such rants for the l0lz for those of us who know real history. You also keep history-educated westerners informed of how the west's enemies think and see the world.

Thanks for the yucks. You can mod this down with a sock puppet as usual but I already post at -1 and don't care.

It's weird how so many of our Congress people who have been in office for life doing "public service" die or retire with tens or sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars.

But thankfully we have you, a foreigner, to tell us Trump is corrupt and corruption is new and blah blah blah etc etc.

What country are you from? Corruption free? Or are you in one of those countries that has a tax on bribes because the corruption is expected and normalized?

Judged used to, also.

Used to.

Many in the industry are simply wrong.

They are very different devices with different interfaces and purposes.

If you want to do "complex" interactions with your glasses such as send an email, make a calendar entry or use any of the thousands of utility apps (I have a separate app for my floor robot, house cameras, my pool robot, my garage doors, my home theatre, etc etc etc) you need to touch it. The only reasonable alternative for glasses is voice navigation and text to speech. That means if you want to send a text or email, everyone around you will hear you dictate which is not ok for 99% of people and annoying to everyone around them.

Phones replaced cameras and watches because nothing changed. They made it better. Now you don't need to carry those expensive and often devices just to get the time and take a picture but the actual mechanical steps remain the same. Look at screen for time. Same as watch. Raise camera to face, look through camera lens at subject, press button. Same as camera but better for 99%. But glasses? No they can literally never replace phones. Not now and not in 500 years. They can argue that glasses have value (minimal but not what they think) but they are not and never will be the next big thing.

Phones never failed in the market. They just got better over time and expanded user base but most people saw value even in the earliest phones. BlackBerry comes to mind. Same for tablets. Early tablets such as Palm or Newton sucked but people wanted them anyway. As tablet tech improved they went wide.

Neither phones nor tablets required a tech reboot. Just time to mature to grow market. Glasses? No one wants them. They do not have an obvious must-have-because-my-life-will-be-better use case. It's a technology with no reason to exist. Even Hollywood doesn't see it that way. There are very few movies that use smart glasses in any way that can't easily be duplicated by something else as good or better.

Glasses are a gimmick now. Always will be. Doesn't solve any problems anyone has. Not enough to ever make a real market.
