Sorry, it's hard when it is not my native language.

Yes, they are very corrupt. They are untouchable, and use the given power to their own benefit. The law is deliberately written very subjective so they can interpret and judge as it is convenient to them. They even use their power across their jurisdiction, which has been bringing debate in society lately.

Politics is an exchange of favours in that environment. To have an idea of how it is, I recommend you to watch "Elite Squad II" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1555149/

The same court that removed the penalties of more than two hundred confessed criminals during the investigation "operation car wash" [1] It was the largest corruption scandal in history of human kind [2].

The criminals confessed their crimes due to the sentence reduction incentives of the 'rewarded collaboration' law. One of the most important requirements to get the sentence reduction is "you cannot lie, if you do, you lose everything".

All of it, now, undone.

The Brazilians are so lucky to have individuals with unblemished reputation working hard to protect them against misinformation.

Alexandre de Moares is the president of the Brazilian Supreme Court, a selected group containing the most powerful individuals in the country. They are named by the president and once they are done, they never leave the position until they reach their compulsory retirement at the age of 75 years old.

They form the highest court of law in Brazil for constitutional issues and its rulings cannot be appealed.

For those who like independent software and open protocols, I would like to share the https://indieweb.org/

Only Steam games, right?

I strong recommend you to do not start doing this without talking to your landlord first.

It's complicated. Building software is very expensive and high risky. You can try with a small project in-house and get your learnings from.

Yes you can find people that want to work in a non-glamurous company easily. These places are excellent if you want to see your work doing direct impact in improving peoples lives.

Market data science is tragically fascinating. It's a superpower, capable of being used for eithger good or bad.

When we have this on code is because we failed in something else.

I wish they had a Dvorak keyboard.

"WANTS to join BRICS".

I understand her concerns but I think it's a very hard problem. Being "similar" is very subjective.

Moreover, what if some actor has a similar voice to her and records and sells an audiobook? What if this actor signs a contract with OpenAI?

Yes. Moreover, the goal of most of the companies. Competition is what holds it.

We need more competition in this industry.

I totally agree. I have tons of ideas written in my notebook here. They are worthless. Many self-proclaimed "idea-guys" do not understand this. Execution is everything.

It was due to a pipe connected to the rain gutter in the house. At the beginning of the rain, the amount of water streaming through was hitting perfectly a joint in the internet cable. So it was happening only when the rain started, and stopping when the little stream got stronger and consequently jumping it and not hitting the cable joint anymore. It was discovered by the technician. He found it somewhere in the 100m of the cable coming out from the street pole, not an easy task.

Once I had an Internet cable that stopped for a while whenever I turned on the microwave (understandable), and also stopped when started raining. The trickiest part was that it turned off just for a while and ONLY at the beginning of the rain.

I called the telecom company many times. They charge per visit in case no problem is found. I always had to explain the situation and ask the technician not to charge me and come when it started raining, a very hard thing to do because we cannot predict forecast and the network went down for 10 min only.

It does not seem a big problem, after all, I could just wait 10 minutes. After this happened multiple times a day every rainy week, making me lose meetings, work, server connections, etc... I had to patiently chase the telecom company and even ask for the personal phone numbers of technicians (to ping them when it was going to rain) until they finally found a solution.

I just discovered this tool. Amazing and inspiring!

I think it's safe enough for many cases. Amazing concept to have little classic games as Captcha.

Amazing. I wish it was claimed to be secure!

It is because it was fed by Internet information. Lots of memes and jokes.

Man, we share a lot of thoughts in common. I would like to drop you a line by email.

Interesting business model. Can you share more about your company?

Cool! Does it work in any file system?

Doing manually will be a lot of work and error-prone. No, I am not trying to build a competitor, I have a lot of views in a very hard-to-reach niche. Thanks for your tips, anyway.

I want to let my customers buy ads do display on my platform. I might not be using the right buzzwords to search for a good one.

What a beautiful blog post. I could understand more about LLM.

This project can potentially reduce a lot of our cognitive load. I hope it succeeds.

edit: Now I see it's a 20-year project.

It's hard to give good advice without more numbers.
