>>107714536While not a complete fix, a huge amount of the noise could be eliminated by requiring candidates to be local. Companies believe if they open positions to the entire country or even the world, they'll find a magical unicorn candidate who can create FAANG companies for them and works for peanuts. Instead they have opened the firehose of diarrhea into their hiring pipeline. There would still be some scammers, including a few who would go so far as to hire someone in your area to go show up, but it still knocks that type of noise down several orders of magnitude. But it also requires giving up the magical unicorn dream, which the current AI bubble shows is something employers just can't bring themselves to do. They want cheap skilled labor and they're willing to destroy themselves to maintain the fantasy that they can get it.
>>107714597Cover letters went out of fashion long ago because no one wanted to bother reading them. Then LLMs came along and could read the cover letters, giving HR/recruiters a summary or even a pass/fail judgement. Since there was no cost to them, cover letters started becoming required. Candidates quickly figured out humans weren't reading the cover letters, so they started using LLMs to write them. Now you have cover letters that are written by LLMs to be read by LLMs.

Why are these things still made and used? Most phones don't include a slot for them, and they're the only device small (if modern phones can even be called that) enough to justify using them over a full size card. I know the Switch and Steam Deck use them, but those are also big enough that they surely could've made them with full-size cards in mind
>>107713451Speed and reliability>Maker projects and SBCsI admit MicroSD has a few valid usecases, companies will implement them in products that have no business using them over a full-size card, and that's what I find weird, a full-size slot means you can use both full-size cards, and MicroSD on an adapter on a pinchIn essence, my point is:>The current state of the world is that MicroSD is considered normal and SD is considered a niche product, it should be the other way around>Most phones don't include a MicroSD slot, this isn't how things should be, but it's how they are. If we went back to it being a standard feature, I'd be more than glad

The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.
>>107711945It can run games by itself, although how many and how well is yet to be seen.
What's my best bet if I already have a good PC and just want to connect a headless VR headset to it?
If any of you care about an actual no compromises vr headset you will have to wait like 10-15 years. Not even exaggerating. We'll need around 60 ppd (pixels per degree) to be able to not see the individual pixels. even the apple vision pro has like 35 ppd only, the meta quest 3 has 21 and the steam frame will have 18-19. The steam frame has a slightly lower ppd even though it has a slightly higher resolution because the binocular overlap is supposed to be higher than on the quest 3, like 90-95% (not official) vs ~75%. For a no compromises vr headset we would need close to 100% binocular overlap. But even with 100% binocular overlap we also want a high fov, current standard is 110° but humans have ~200° fov. Let's say we use 180° Fov as a realistic and very usable goal. So now we have 100% binocular overlap and 180° fov, what resolution do we need for 60ppd? As we have 100% binocular overlap this calculation is easy, it's 60*180=10800. So we need a display with 10800 horizontal pixels per eye. Vertically we can see like up to 150° so if we take 130° for that we get 60*130=7800. So each eye has a 10800x7800 resolution so 21600x7800 in total. I think it's pretty clear why VR will stay a blurry, low fov meme. At least for a while. So if you wanna try this tech out, do it, but apart from the novelty don't expect too much.
>>107714145any headset with eye tracking so you can use foveated streamingframe is probably going to be the cheapest optionstreaming looks like dogshit without it because the decoder on the headsets is too weak to push good enough bitrates for the full video and you get massive latency if you push it too high
