Reply to comment by Pie-Otherwise in E3 2023 has reportedly been canceled by DemiFiendRSA
Yea, I used to work for Gartner Events 20 years ago, and it was eye-popping to see the major tech companies drop million dollar contracts with us as soon as the event was announced. Apparently they thought the ROI for that was really good, but I can't see that nowadays.
Another thing about E3 was it was mostly aimed at the press and other tech companies. I think a lot of these exhibitors realized that a lot of gamers generally don't trust the press anymore for reviews and would rather see games first hand or through word of mouth.

I realized this around 2015, my Junior year of college.
Kinda killed grad school ideas. And look what’s happened:
Exactly what I was afraid of.

Reply to China’s chip industry will be ‘reborn’ under U.S. sanctions, Huawei says, confirming breakthrough by maki23
The breakthrough is 14nm. Not validated yet and will probably take several years to get there. So only 10+ years behind.

Too much power in the hands of civilians? Gotta restrict it to the corporations.

Reborn with holoprosencephaly that is, while a doctor stands over it shaking its head, and trying to explain to Dear Leader that this is simply not "compatible with life."
So sad. Too bad.

Good. GDPR must be taken seriously, the ban won't last long if OpenAI complies.

Reply to comment by jcpmojo in CEOs are quietly backtracking on remote work—and more companies could follow by ethereal3xp
My problem with that though is (at least with a lot of the big names) the teams are too big that there is a chance they are distributed significantly. Even as a new hire you can end up in a situation where you are in one location and your seniors are in a completely different state/country.
That happened previously at one job and it was not a fun experience, especially since I kept being told how important it was to go to office to learn. Meanwhile all my team/sister-team/step-team members are in another state/country.

Ditto. I was thinking about writing, but it's not like Warner is going to change his mind about a bill he created.

The thing with Maxar, etc, is the question: what happens if SpaceX just decides to add an extra Earth-facing sensor bay to every single new Starlink sat?
Because the next step for SpaceX would be to start putting hardware that directly undercuts Maxar and others into those bays. Anyone who's doing smallsats should be extremely concerned by the possibility.
SpaceX is already getting in on that MIC game with Starshield - a series of customizable Starlink-derived sats that SpaceX has reportedly offered to Pentagon at bargain prices. So they clearly are trying to get into new market segments, and they aren't subtle about it.

I have a coworker required to go into the office. He is the only person on our team of 8 that has to. He was hired before COVID, so was never labelled "full remote". He also is the only one close enough to be hit with the RTO policy
He has to do remote work all day (our systems are all SaaS or in a data center elsewhere). All his meetings are on Teams, with everyone else being remote or in another office
It was never about productivity. It's just layoffs by another name

> Benioff said that he “knows empirically” that new hires perform better “if they’re in the office, meeting people, being onboarded, being trained”
And of course no one required him to provide this empirical evidence that he totally has, but just doesn't share because reasons
