Some 12yo's discover it through things like Minecraft and arguably that's the best time to start.

If someone put a "Redstone circuits" unit in a general science class in grade 7, and spent just one day talking about the real-world applications think it would be a success.

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I've seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.

I always imagine this when hard rebooting any device

What part of FSR2 doesn't currently work on Nvidia GPUs?

[–] macaroni1556@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

FSR already works on Nvidia GPUs, it's just this hook to use FSR3 Frame Generation where DLSS Frame Generation normally would run is still blocked by Nvidia because any DLSS features are limited to an RTX card.

Nvidia claims you need an RTX 40xx card for "frame generation", but this does it with an RTX 20xx and 30xx card.

And I understand the reason for that is still driver level checks that can't currently be worked around, not an actual limitation of other chips.

What do you mean "not anymore"? You can't rewrite history... The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

The G in GTK literally comes from GIMP

But no joke the thing keeping me on my main pc is the niche simulator peripherals. All my games work great but not the extra software I need.

Just because I'm a car history guy, I think you have some broken information about Opel.

The company predated Nazi Germany by a long shot as a general equipment manufacturer in the 1800s and was one of the biggest auto producers in the 1920s holding over 25% of the market. They were actually bought by General Motors (not Ford) in 1929.

Where you did get it right is the famous Brandenburg factory was funded partly by the Nazi government and to specifically make the Opel Blitz trucks. Which were at the time just a general work truck in high demand. But soon after GM lost control and the plant was used to exclusively make military trucks for the war. But this is the same for any factory at the time.

A lot of this can be explained by the US political attitude to Germany where they kept up positive diplomatic relationships up until the attacks in the Pacific. The large companies like GM didn't have a direct reason to divest from their ties to Nazi regime, as they weren't really denounced themselves and still an important trading partner. Their investors would have had protests on a change of course. For GM, Opel was a huge success at the time.

Of course cutting ties and divesting would have been the moral thing to do, but capitalism has no morals... Apple doesn't mind making products in China today but sanctions on tech are already changing the course for companies like Nvidia, not without lots of protest by their leaders.

Also yes Henry Ford was idolized by Hitler and Ford didn't mind that one bit.

There are the mandated penalties for late arrivals. Diverting could result in a 24h delay for ~250 passengers which could mean a 250k fine

Except despite all the BS reasons AC says flights are outside of their control, this one is definitely outside their control.

So that doesn't hold.I wonder what their decision was based on.
