  • According to the manual, the only thing you get with the kit (other than access to the digital files) is a couple of cardboard tubes, some stickers, and a parachute — the launch pad, igniter, and even motors are all sold separately.

    yeah WTF, this seems like a greedy bullshit cash grab at $40

  • money specifically to exchange for a tank, and the money could not otherwise have been spent.

    So don't buy a fucking tank and don't spend the money...jeez that should be a fucking no-brainer.

  • If they were born in 78-79, they'd have spent a good 3 years of childhood in the 90's. Being 11 years old in 1990, it would be the mid-90's before they hit their adolescent years. This would make them 90's kids by the definition that they were kids in the 90's that also remember the 90's

  • That makes people born in the 80's and late 70's 90's kids...it makes no sense.

  • people are being poorly trained by the change management

    Yes this happens a lot, and IT-habits are notoriously difficult to change in a work-setting.

  • I'm not saying AI specifically is useful, just that people in general tend to resist change in their work methods regardless of what they are.

    I also work with a lot of proprietary knowledge, chemical and infrastructure in my case, and AI still can be useful when used properly. We use a local model and have provided it with all our internal docs and specs, and limited answers to knowledge from these, so we can search thousands of documents much faster, and it links to the sources for it's answers.

    Doesn't do my job for me, but it sure as shit makes it easier to have a proper internal search engine that can access information inside documents and not just the titles.

  • Having been part of multiple projects introducing new software tools (not AI) to departments before, people are usually just stubborn and don't want to change their ways, even if it enables a smoother work-flow with minimal training/practice. So yeah, basically people are so set in their ways,it is often hard to convince them something new will actually make their job easier.

  • If the users arent seeing the value, then the value is not there.

    Simply not true, if this was the case, then change management wouldn't be a thing.

  • Maybe, maybe not we actually have no idea as the article doesn't mention it. Nevertheless, doing infrequent queries is an equally likely scenario, given that people are really bad at changing their habits and existing workflows regardless of potential benefits.

  • According to the M365 Copilot monitoring dashboard made available in the trial, an average of 72 M365 Copilot actions were taken per user.

    "Based on there being 63 working days during the pilot, this is an average of 1.14 M365 Copilot actions taken per user per day," the study says. Word, Teams, and Outlook were the most used, and Loop and OneNote usage rates were described as "very low," less than 1 percent and 3 percent per day, respectively.

    Yeah that probably won't have the intended effect...this basically just shows that AI assistants provide no benefit when they're not used and nothing else.

  • Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

    Jump

  • All the above points are valid except for this

    requires an Internet connection.

    You can easily download for offline listening with spotify. Even piracy will require internet connection for later offline consumption, and getting music from physical media is way more work than most realistically want to do today.

  • Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity

  • The upside is getting power from an otherwise waste-product. Yes it's low output compared with traditional turbine-driven power plants, but that doesn't mean in should be disregarded. Sure it's not applicable everywhere, but neither is hydro or geothermal. After all, why not use the geography of your location to your benefit? Not everywhere needs to get power in the exact same way, and what's most feasible is highly dependent on location.
