It doesn’t pass judgment. It just knows what “looks” correct. You need a trained person to discern that. It’s like describing symptoms to WebMD. If you had a junior doctor using WebMD, how comfortable would you be with their assessment?
I buy a short $5 indie game. I give it away afterwards digitally to a friend. The next guy does the same thing. And the next guy.
Now the developer has to primarily make money by selling merch or ingame ads. No thanks. If the game is good, people will buy it.
You could argue people did this with physical media. But it was not nearly as impactful; I couldn’t click a few buttons in seconds and hand the game away.
It’s one of many things they could do just like how security is a layers thing.
They could inject random zero width non joiners to help detection too. Easy to defeat, but something a layperson would have to go through extra effort to filter out. Kinda like how some plagiarism cases have been won by pointing out identical misspelled words.
Another strategy: don’t write notes during class. Actually listen super intently to the instructor, and always ask questions when something isn’t clear. Sit near the front. Notetaking can be a distraction, even though it might feel productive at the time. It’s mentally exhausting if you’re in classes back to back, but I found that really intently focusing on what they’re saying and realizing when you get lost helps a ton. Because once you get lost, the rest of the lesson becomes a lot less helpful and you have to spend time studying by yourself or in a group later without the ingrained context of the rest of the subject when it was originally presented.
Obviously doesn’t work if the instructor is bad at teaching or you’re in a really huge class.
I don’t know if that headcount I listed includes contract employees. They typically get compensated far less, and anecdotally I’ve been told by a former Meta friend that there are more contracted developers than salaried there. And what’s the ratio of software developers compared to other personnel? HR, QA, marketing, sales, etc? Employees in other countries? I figured a more conservative estimate was reasonable for cost overall.
Well, about half of that is probably salary. There are apparently 17,000 Reality Labs employees. If you assume the average salary is 100K or more, which is reasonable for tech jobs in high COL areas, you’re already looking at a couple billion after benefits that the company has to spend on headcount. The other spend is probably third-party contracts, hardware, etc.
McDonald’s is still cheap but only if you use the app for deals and points. They want to drive people to the app to eventually hire one less employee at each store, which will save them more money. They keep the app cheaper to drive this change.
It’s…phone call handling. What about that needs to be in a specific room?
Property acquisition costs and legal fees are immensely more expensive in the US. Have to obtain those thousands of miles of land for rail development from somebody.
Why, were you too stupid to configure dual boot? I don’t imagine you’re having a better time with Linux. This is not hard stuff.
Linux still is not a main gaming OS yet. Stop being an asshole; you know this is true.
