Agree. I know it’s a hot take but i really don’t think the death penalty is the solution to anything. It never just stays the people who deserve it, and far too many people have been wrongfully convicted to justify keeping it. It’s too final

I freaking knew before I read the description!

NO, GOD, EVERY TIME

Same my friend, same. I’m starting my new factory on Friday and I’m getting ready for the math.

Btw if you’re not already, we’re here at !satisfactory@lemmy.world

Once again the executives punish the workers, as they scramble to figure out why their products won’t sell.

Hot theory, maybe those executives should be the ones leaving, let the workers do what they do best without the limitations put in place by management.

Business continues to realize the limits of the AI hype bubble

I believe so? I think? It’s been a long time. The only thing I could see that would prevent it is if they require a check when launching it, but I remember if you had the disc in that was enough for it before.

Okay the other person is onto the right path but I think it’s important to understand the underlying reasons for how “backwards compatibility” works on the Xbox.

The 360 used a PowerPC architecture, which at the time was very cost effective at the time. Pretty much most things now use x86, our standard 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs are this architecture. (ARM is another type that we are seeing now).

Now, you cannot run code from one PC architecture to another, even emulated this is a very costly procedure, every call to the CPU, every call has to be translated. Even with emulation this is difficult. (Note how we’re still just now getting 360 emulators).

This is mostly why Microsoft and Sony both said no to backwards compatibility, because there was no simple way to take a disc, pop it in, and play.

So after the massive backlash (which they deserved, but also was understandable their point of view), Microsoft created their backward compatibility program. Essentially what they (or developers, not sure who did it) did, was to literally re-compile each entire game for x86, instead of PowerPC. They would then upload the bits to Microsoft, and that is what you download when playing. The disc you insert is purely for checking that you own it, after that you ignore everything else and download the x86 version which is runnable on your console.

So, it stands that backward compatibility wasn’t feasible, it still isn’t “backward compatible”. They rebuilt everything from the source code to run. A pretty massive effort on Microsoft’s part and the developers just so we could play old games. Hopefully you see too why I don’t blame Sony for not going through all of that, it’s a lot of work.

So to answer your questions:

1. Digitally downloaded in x86 with the disc as key
2. No, it is a simple recompile, from the original source code
3. No, since there is only the PowerPC bits on the disc, there is no way to play the game on a newer x86 cpu without downloading the x86 bits
4. They work the same, once compiled for x86 it works for all x86 processors. (Caveats in software engineering of course, but in this case you can assume they are the same)
5. Microsoft went through a ton of effort to get this working, and developers each had to pull up old projects, figure out how to build them again, and did all of this for free. I’m all for hating on Microsoft for a myriad of reasons, but this was a project that had very little profit for them but did the community a huge service. They have my thanks, and Sony has my understanding for why they didn’t do it at the time.

I don’t agree with their tankie views, but it does force me to see other views. However I usually just eyeroll and move on.

If I see racism or hate though that’s an immediate block.

“I just find driving more convenient. Transit always takes longer and never goes where you need it to, and with a car I get to be comfortable”

They type into their phone arguing on Facebook while sitting at the dealership waiting for their car to be ready

They did this to themselves. Crazy expensive prices, snacks no one can afford, dingy theaters, allowing noisy annoying patrons, there’s no benefit now.

Literally an office episode. Satire is reality

Doesn’t matter, there’s more than likely a callback in the url that says who it was, and now the sender knows the number is active and the user clicks on links

Holding up a giant sign that says “I CLICK ON WHATEVER BULLSHIT LINK YOU SEND ME”

I think entire groups of people shouldn’t exist!

I disagree

Fuckin woke bullshit!

Four in ten employees agree that there has been more discussion about how to implement AI/tech in their workplace than actual change.

Four out of ten people understand how business actually works

Turns out most people would actually, there have been multiple surveys done now and that’s always the winner, but then how would businesses cope?

Or you could do all of that instead of asking your friend. It’s easy, you just say “would you like to go out on a date?”. Done.

Given all of this that I’ve read, I’d be confused as hell too if I were him. You’re only planning group things which tells me you’re more interested in being friends at that point, anymore you’ve never come outright and said anything. You said he’s the shy one, so what’s holding you back?

No friends, no groups, just go over to his house already and ask him. Love does not have to be this complicated, people.

Of course they’re boomers. Car brained and survival bias in two forms there

Great, so since they’re drunk they deserve death. They deserved it because they were drunk. And looking at those two I’m sure they’ve never been drunk or stoned. Guaranteed if he was drunk and stumbling around and found himself in the street there would be some excuse for why a vehicle should have slowed down

Yeah agreed, I’m more surprised they didn’t scrub every reference to it on the training set like you said that it’s in the model at all is surprising. I may try to run it myself and see what it does with the same question
