  • Chinese Security Firm Nuctech Hit by EU Subsidy Probe

    Jump

  • We need to do get a buy European act, it's not normal to see a government service like customs buying device from Nuchtech rather than local competitor. I want my tax to finance my job, not some foreign companies

  • If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?

    Jump

  • Platform like LinkedIn learning, on books no matter whether it's about programming or management (or any other field, may be you want to learn material science or Korean). Usually, these ones are pretty tolerated by HR, especially if you can find even a remote link to your work. I would add fun side projects on work data/material, that you can use to get promoted (not only I am doing my job but I am experimenting with XYZ, meaning I should be at the next puygrude)

  • If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side?

    Jump

  • Russia attacks EU, US stay neutral, US stay neutral, China leverage on Russia being busy to invade Eastern Russia, the conflict spread to former colonies where Russia, China, France, UK are already in cold war. Meanwhile, Turkey finally attack Greece, and Iran takes the opportunity gain influence most likely with their spy network.

    As usual, America stays neutral, until US get dragged in the war (Taiwan or Israel) while Argentina wait for the last day to formally declare war. Not sure whether Japan would invade China or take back the Sakhaline island

    TL/DR : Russia/Turkey/Israel versus EU/China/Iran.

    As you see I am absolutely not an expert

  • Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

    Jump

  • Change every so and on to maintain some sense of privacy, it won't work against reddit or th US gov, but at least may avoi that people look too far in my comment history, then I had to deal with a ban... for telling people to move to lemmy

  • Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

    Jump

  • I don't even remember all the reddit account I had in the previous 5 years

  • In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes

    Jump

  • I am curious what was in the pilot's mind at this moment? I Know, militaires have to follow order, but here they're flying illegally over a foreign country, which has (cold War era but still) air-defence, in a non stealth plane while keeping transponder/ADS-B active.

    Looks like not only illegal but also betting that Venezuela will stay calm enough to do anything about them

  • Millions of children and teens lose access to accounts as Australia’s world-first social media ban begins

    Jump

  • Looks like a great news. Moreover, kids may learn how old school Internet works rather than being stuck in an algorithm bubble

  • How feasible is a decentralized AI

    Jump

  • Have you heard about the AIhorde project by the DBzero community ?

    @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me a surprised lemming hacker typing in front of a green text computer screen

  • What programming language would you recommend for teaching to non-technical people that use a variety of different OSes?

    Jump

  • What's your target audience ? An what's the goal ?

    There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.

    For general public, the good-old "Logo" that kids learned programming with in the 70-90's is still great

    for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn't matter

    For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

  • Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'?

    Jump

  • putting them on display in museums would make them less available for study.

    Very often, it's the other way around, museum are a storage plage for scientific/historical/artistic artifact and the be in display is a bonus.

    Government own many objects that have an important historical value, and they can't sell them (beside law, imagine the scandal if the French gov sell the mona Lisa or if US gov sell Neil amstrong spacesuit) so better having them in public display

  • Deleted

    What if you legitimately don't remember the alphabet that well during a field sobriety test because you never use it?

    Jump

  • I still don't get why the US sobriety tests are admissible by a judge. cops can just run a breathalyser test (or even a drug test), it's faster than all these weird test and more reliable.

    If your going to arrest someone anyway , you can even get a blood/urine sample for a lab-grade drug search.

  • Germany votes to bring in voluntary military service programme for 18-year-olds

    Jump

  • Same question as when France did a similar announcement. What is the difference between an enlisted and someone who does a voluntary service. And how to not end up with a bunch of underpaid, and undertrained soldiers replacing regular soldiers? Which sounds like a great way to weaken our defence

  • Is anyone else noticing this weird trend of brand new accounts posting memes and comics and stuff, does not engage in comments, get upvoted to front page, then banned?

    Jump

  • Had a similar issues, and could contact a mod with an alt account to get unbanned, but indeed looks like they used a nuke to kill a Goblin.

    Also, I still don't get the point for bot to post "engaging content". At worst it's a bit too cliché you wake up in the body of the last person you ask with or too rage-baity Say something good or bad about Israel but it's not like karma is worth something here.

  • What's your boomer trait?

    Jump

  • I've seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That's just ridiculous

  • What's your boomer trait?

    Jump

  • Most of things that are "smart" dont need to be. Why does a fridge, toaster, TV, matress or oven need to be connected to the internet??! For what?!

    I've recently seen an add stating that, big brand washing machine have WiFi, we have quality and low pricesbut indeed, it's getting crazy, and what happens when you change ISP?

  • C'est pas la taille qui compte

  • Option simple, l'arc long est à sa taille et puis voilà

    Sinon, en JDR, le sniper c'est pas toujours un bon plan, j'ai fait ça à Shadowrun, je jetait des brouettes de dés en snipe, et faisait des brouettes de dégâts.

    Sauf que tu attends le groupe, à l'extérieur, sur un point haut et hors de portée, sur le papier ça fait sens tactiquement, en pratique, tu vas jouer à Mario kart avec le decker et le mage puis chacun son tour à droit à ses 30min de jeux pendant que les autres vont enfin se faire un Mario kart

  • Why books haven't all been translated to every language by now?

    Jump

  • Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author's style and pun. A niche book won't be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.

    With the power of "LLM" and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a "specific but uncommon context". It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won't be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)
