I share the same disappointment as most others that they're removing the option of owning physical games. The main complaints I've seen are: licensing (not actually owning the product) and not being able to resale, trade, or let someone borrow a game. But doesn't blockchain allow for that to happen? People associate NFTs with jpegs. But this is what it's for. Proof of digital ownership and the ability to sell, trade, or lend the digital product as vou wish. For example, when you buy GTA6, you would own "GTA6#001". Of the millions of copies sold, no one could ever own "GTA6#001" but you until you sold it. It's pro-consumer. So I doubt companies would want that. But I think it makes sense in a world where we seem to be inevitably moving away from physical media. We could sell and trade on any marketplace without relying on Sony or MF$T and their inflated prices. Or we could trade/sell things directly with each other. If viable, which blockchains do you think would be most fitting? submitted by /u/da_loud_man [link] [Kommentare]
Hello everyone. I wanted to ask if the below book is a good source of machine learning in 2026 or if it is now outdated and if there are better options. Hands-on Machine Learning with.

I am working in a research group in Germany, not that well known but in general good output. I have one colleague who does nothing in his PhD. He does not want to work, or he is not able to do any good research, his level is super bad. Plus He doesn’t even care about that. To wrap it up, he is just here for the money. Since he doesn’t want to work or he can’t really do anything good, instead what he does is “paper fishing”, he searches for people in the group doing some good research, and asks that they put his name on the paper. In this case he has something to cover up for him when the professor asks him about his progress. As long as his name is on the paper, progress is checked and funding is renewed. But he actually does nothing. I know this is very unprofessional and unethical. But people tell me it’s normal in academia. Professors all the time put names of their friends and this is how it works in academia. What are your thoughts of this behaviour? submitted by /u/impressivestatus21 [link] [Kommentare]

Databricks recently published a technical blog on Lakebase and LTAP: From monolith to Lakebase to LTAP: rethinking database storage. The post is interesting not because it introduces another acronym, but because it reframes a familiar data infrastructure problem:
