Eh, at some point it’s worth the risk. At the end of the day 9/10 might figure out you’ve been lying, but the 1/10 that doesn’t and gives you higher pay is still worth the embarrassment.
Especially if it’s your first employment. Everybody wants people with prior experience, but you gotta start somewhere. Once you’ve got experience, then you can probably stop lying.
Yesterday, popular authors including John Grisham, Jonathan Franzen, George R.R. Martin, Jodi Picoult, and George Saunders joined the Authors Guild in suing OpenAI, alleging that training the company’s large language models (LLMs) used to power AI tools like ChatGPT on pirated versions of their books violates copyright laws...
It’s not about making money, not only at least. The other reason why the US, China and other countries are obsessed with AI, LLM, NN, ML is because it may prove decisive for their militaries.
What is thought by most militaries today is that we are at a turning point of sorts and the next generation of weapons will be powered by AI in some capacity, and the more we go on, the more AI will be involved (target acquisition, reaction, drone and missile guidance, APS, AA, etc)
During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not...
Still, two double espressos is still quite a bit, I think here in Italy the average is around 2 normal espressos in the morning, which would be equal to one double. Four to five espressos in a day is considered the limit to what you should drink, more than that it’s a bit much.
Also all the sugar and syrups you pour in can’t be healthy.
I think Apple opened its network to tiles and similar, but you need to buy a specific one made for the Apple network (which costs more, probably because of apple tax)
Iirc Google will be doing the same with its new network
The west didn’t even call. Russia just fumbled and revealed all their cards on their own, showing everyone it was all just a bluff. Now they’re playing the “you didn’t actually see all of the cards” game, which would work if we didn’t already see them all…
Why would that be? If h265 is anything to go by, MPEG will probably charge an arm and a leg for h266, and the entire industry will pivot away from MPEG and move to AV2. I’m not even sure YouTube will ever implement h266
The US is still playing the same game of wait and see. During WW2 it’s not like the US didn’t supply the allies with weapons (lend lease act) for years before sending in troops.
Hopefully Ukraine will be able to neuter Russia before the US or the EU have to get involved with actual boots on the ground.
The European Commission has published an official list of services offered by ‘gatekeepers’ that must comply with obligations under the new Digital Markets Act. Companies now have six months to comply with the rules.
It’s probably true that not many people use the IM portion of iMessage in the EU. In my experience, I’ve never actually seen anyone use it.
That being said, since it’s the default SMS app, you can’t convince me that most iPhone users don’t use it al least once a month (even if just to get a one time code from the bank). It’s definitely more than 45 million users, at least for the SMS part of the app.
Eh, I thought the same, but then after reading their comments, it’s like going from one authoritarian extremist ideology to another authoritarian extremist ideology. Especially when both pro Nazis and pro commies seem to both boil down to being just pro Putin fanatics. I’m wondering if the propaganda doesn’t come from the same place trying to capture both spectrums.
Well, it’s not like an anime episode is the same as a live action episode though.
An anime episode is like 20 minutes of content after you remove the opening and recap and ending. And if you remove all the filler and repeating scenes, it’s maybe 5-10 minutes of actual content. They adapted like 45-50 episodes into 8, and the first saga is probably one of the most dense in terms of content.
For the future, I fully expect a 10:1 ratio between anime episodes and live episodes. Maybe even more.
That would still mean more than 12 seasons to go, before catching up to now, with who knows how many more before the series ends.
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned China in interviews broadcast on Sunday (Sep 3) that the patience of US business was “wearing thin”, saying American companies deserved a “predictable environment and a level playing field”....
Unlike China who can definitely get real buddy buddy with everyone around them.
Eh, I don’t know. I think they fucked up lots of relations with their neighbors as well due to the same imperialistic politics. They have shitty relations with Japan, SK, Taiwan, all the nation in the South China Sea, Vietnam and India. Relations with Russia, and USSR before that, have always been a bit tense (Mongolia issue, plus claims over Vladivostok). The rest are minor nations, mostly under the sphere of influence of other empires.
From what I can see, they are trying to create a sphere of influence of their own in Asia, propping up the new dictatorship in Myanmar, helping the Pakistani and trying to snatch up the central Asian “-stan” nations from Russia’s influence. Success is mixed.
Anyway, economically speaking these are not real partners like the western block, but more like client states. The real economic partners of China remain the western nations. Without them China’s trade would be non-existent.
Really? How? There’s like no light, millions of bars of pressure, temperatures that rival the sun, and, if I’m not mistaken, once you go low enough you should just end up in a big sea of liquid hydrogen. Not to mention the huge amounts of radiations you’d be subjected to, the thousands of km/h winds and the extreme storms inside.
Thinking about it, entering a gas giant would be pretty terrifying.
Yeah, I was thinking about going into a gas giant, walking on it and exploring it. It didn’t occur to me they were referring to Bespin-like floating cities
In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit....
Italy here. Usually factories and many offices shut down for at least 2 weeks in August. Essential services obviously stay open.
Some other services may or may not decide to close, like a butcher may decide to close for a few weeks in the summer. Same for some bars/restaurants etc. Not all of them, some of them.
Also there’s a huge difference between where you are. If you live in the industrialized north, then what I described it’s more or less true, but if you live in the south, it’s all completely different. August becomes the busiest period for the tourist-centric south, with bars and restaurants working at maximum capacity, beaches and cities all full of tourists and service workers actually increase in this period.
It’s obviously not 100% all society shuts down, but if you are an American company trying to do business with Europe in August, just keep in mind that lots of stuff will be postponed to September.
ITT supposed communists suck on Russia’s dick for… some reason?
Someone still has to explain this to me, why Russian capitalism is apparently ok, while any other capitalism is not. Suck on the billionaire Russians’ dicks, with their yachts in Porto Fino, while half the country doesn’t have access to basic necessities.
They’re not even trying to mask it as communism like China ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Eh, I don’t buy it. To me it seems just an excuse. Both Russia and China at one point were full state run centrally planned economies. Communist countries made up half the world (leaving aside third world countries), half of Europe, lots of population and plenty of natural resources. There was no reason why they couldn’t succeed if they banded together with the superior economic theory.
But now you are telling me that they couldn’t help the global south, and therefore Russia and China had to abandon communism and switch to full blown capitalism? To beat the US at capitalism? And then go back to communism?
Hot take: they are both just as bad and imperialistic as the US, selfish to the core, only trying to become the top dog on the world stage, by any means possible. Not that hot actually, it’s been the same shit since forever
I had an amazing Caprese salad years ago and I’ve want to recreate it ever since. I got my hands on some aged Basalmic and I’m hoping that does the trick.
They are doing too many videos Indeed, but what’s the solution? Doing less videos is penalized by the algorithm, which means not enough money to keep everyone around. So one solution would be to scale down, fire a bunch of people, close a bunch of channels and really focus just on LTT. To me this seems unrealistic and I doubt anyone in Linus’ position would do this.
The other option instead is to double, triple and quadruple down, hire a bunch more people, create lots of tools and know how, ways to create more data, more easily and accurately, remove lots of work from the writers and try to grow until the issues are resolved. This to me seems the only solution and is one that LMG has been pursuing for years now.
The third option is to just handwave the problem away and say they should do better without actually offering a real solution l (and I’m talking from both points of view)
This is not exclusive to liberalism, the radicalization and individualism in tough times is part of human nature. When your family’s livelihood is at stake, you’ll stop caring about society and only care about yourself.
And there will always be people who’ll pose as the saviours of the homeland and champions of the people, just to gain power and enrich themselves, while fucking over everyone else. This is how Mussolini got to power, how Hitler got to power and how many other dictators did too, including communist ones.
Btw, the dictatorship of the proletariat, aka communist dictatorships are just fascist states in disguise, concentration camps and totalitarian bullshit included.
Well, I’ve always seen the dictatorship of the proletariat argument to defend the fact that every communist country ends up devolving in a dictatorship.
If you remove that excuse, then I might start thinking that the issue is with communism in itself and we might need to look around for a new theory.
Or maybe you haven’t? If no communist country has the dictatorship of the proletariat, a democracy or even a decentralized government like a communion of soviets, then what does it leave? Just a normal, shitty dictatorship (or pseudo-monarchy in case of NK).
Still, I don’t understand the cheering for brutal dictators. Why the fuck would you what that? Saying Stalin wasn’t “actually that bad” is akin to saying that about Hitler or Mussolini or Pinochet or any other brutal selfish dictator. Fuck that.
It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month....
From the side of the Messanger, it could implement stories from pixelfed and communities from Lemmy/mastodon/kbin etc.
I don’t know if anyone is asking for this, but Whatsapp has both, so someone must be using them, right?
As from the side of every other fediverse app, I think it could be a good way of implementing DM functionality without developing and maintaining it for every single app. Maybe. I don’t know really, depends on how it’s developed/implemented
I’ve written a pretty big application for my employer in visual studio. Never once have I run a “dotnet build” command. Only ever used the little play button. Guess I’m no software engineer
The real software engineers are those who can 2 minute Google “how to build with cli” their Hello world console app.
Tbf, I looked it up on Google. I know you can do everything you can with Visual Studio also in the CLI, but never bothered checking out the specific commands. 2 second search on Google returned donet build.
A software engineer isn’t defined by what commands he knows or what functions he can remember off the top of his head or what languages he used to write hello world. Those are easily Googlable things that have little to no value irl. The ability to actually solve a problem or build an architecture, a system, even if only in pseudocode is much much more valuable than knowing any specific command.
Case in point, I routinely Google stuff I already used or self reference previous code I’ve written cause I can’t remember how I did certain things. Nothing wrong with that.
I don’t. Looked it up on Google, not that hard. I also never use git from the terminal, I know I could, but I don’t and if you were to ask me off the top of my head how to use it from the cli, I probably wouldn’t be able. Not because I can’t use git, I just can’t be bothered to remember all the commands when a gui is available and does the exact same thing I needed to do anyway. If and when I’ll need to use the terminal for git, I’ll check the docs for the exact syntax.
Again, knowing the exact syntax it’s not what defines a software engineer, IMO.
Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month.

Russia never really stopped mobilizing men. They started the mobilization back in autumn, then passed several reforms to allow them to keep mobilizing men in a less conspicuous way, like making the delivery of the mobilization letter electronic and without receipt, adding restrictions to those who don’t go the conscription office and other laws. All these were done in the winter and thousands of reports of electronic mobilization letters surfaced during these months on the internet. It’s a steady stream conscripts rather than big batches, but the result it’s the same.
