Does this come off as wildly tone deaf to anybody else? "We love your product and what you do, but could we get it without associating with or paying you in any way?"

Like Japan with cars, electronics, etc?

So what's the value here? Single responsibility? That kind of thing is now so known that it doesn't really need talking about

Except I see people getting it wrong constantly, even in the comments here. Its not about keeping code together that's related in functionality, this about keeping code separate by stake holder. For example, if you have two bosses that keep asking for changes related to their departments, you keep their relevant code separate, so when you have to keep updating it for one boss, you don't break the code related to the other boss, and vice versa.

Does it work? I don't know, never been in this situation.

Lectures are just a jobs program for academics who are stuck on thousands of years old teaching traditions. If a sane world, they'd polish their material, record a video, add graphics, and make it available for students to watch it and rewatch it at their convenience. Pretty much what they do on youtube and in documentaries.

TFA says he's using it for storyboarding.

I'm not a fan of AI but this seems like a legit use for it. Story boarding is basically film prototyping, and one of AI's legit uses seems to be prototyping.

AI Doesn't Have ROI 2 months ago

Please, flagging posts, and downvoting comments, you disagree with is not how we do things around here.

are the voters who will not be able to read a bill

politicians don't even read bills anymore, they are too large

Variety reports that executives at the studio were concerned that Gero’s take on the series “would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.”

in other words, it would have been good

It wasn't for one particular case. There were 3,000 lawsuits filed using it.

Sure thing, totally a coincidence, it was just really bad luck for Trump

And frankly a three year statute of limitations for sexual assault is ridiculous.

But 30 years is fine? You try finding a witness after 30 years, or security camera footage.

In any case, why are you defending the giant corporation doing this?

You are just not getting it. When they add new pipes, or attach to mains, they interrupt the flow of water. When its turned backed on, the flow of water kicks up the sediment that's already in the pipes. There's probably also a little that comes in from construction. Why people don't know this I have no idea, its happened to me many times in multiple locations. It goes away in a few hours usually. Never seen it last for more than a day.

Happens at my house sometimes. And has also happened at my previous apartments. Looks exactly the same. When they do construction on water pipes some of the sediment gets in and has to be cleared by the neighborhood. She is either lying or doesn't know what she's talking about. I also guarantee she shook up the bottle before her presentation because the sediment would have settled after a few hours.

AI is too expensive 2 months ago

It not impossible that hyperscale AI turns out to be a very expensive proof of concept for when hardware is fast and cheap enough decades from now, like those first video games played on mainframes and minicomputers.

shims, plates (the hardware kind with holes), etc. It would be great for anything assembled together with plates and spacers (robots, stands, etc). The alternative would be cutting those shapes out of something, with lots of waste and dust.

When I got my first 3D printer one of the first things I learned, in a surprising twist, was how great they are at printing flat things.

Since I've never touched AI except for google search results I feel like I'm in a sci-fi show like Pluribus

People Hate AI Art 2 months ago

Its not that I'm against AI as a tool for artists, but there's this cousin of uncanny valley where art looks like waaaay too much effort went into it for what is needed. I find that off putting, but not because of some moral sentiment like unemployed artists, but because it just looks gaudy, out of place, or just inappropriate. Its like the modern version of the filigree. Looks like we might need a new word for it.

I can understand the motivation. I've had the same number since the 90's and never once got a spam call until I was in the hospital last year and since then I've been getting 2-3 a day every day. They've probably left at least a thousand voice mails for a great loan opportunity, all from different numbers and different loan amounts.
