I was in OiNK, and later I was an Elite on what.cd. I had access to college radio station cd shipments at the time too. Filled my fair share of requests. Nothing that has come since compares to those days

6 months notice + 12 months salary, which is what you are proposing, seems strictly worse to me than just 18 months salary and no notice.

For student assignment cheating, only really the em dashes would still be in the output. But there are specific words and turns of phrases, specific constructions (e.g., 'it's not just x, but y'), and commonly used word choices. Really it's just a prim and proper corporate press release style voice -- this is not a usual university student's writing voice. I'm actually quite sure that you'd be able to easily pick out a first pass AI generated student assignment with em dashes removed from a set of legitimate assignments, especially if you are a native English speaker. You may not be able to systematically explain it, but your native speaker intuition can do it surprisingly well.

What AI detectors have largely done is try to formalize that intuition. They do work pretty well on simple adversaries (so basically, the most lazy student), but a more sophisticated user will do first, second, third passes to change the voice.

The benefit to the person is going to vary. For one reason or another they prefer to be in US rather than wherever they currently are. I'm sure each person has their own unique set of reasons, but it's not hard to imagine.

A benefit for the US is increased GDP, tax revenue, etc.

No interest in this exactly, but I am interested in the idea that third parties are now targeting the Framework form factor explicitly to sell upgrades/replacements outside of the Framework marketplace.

Succession, Hacks, The Last of Us, White Lotus and Euphoria have all been recent buzzy TV hits for HBO post Game of Thrones

Valkey is not blessed by antirez. Antirez is back working at Redis and even committed an entirely new feature himself for Redis 8 under the new license which is not in Valkey.

Have you tried waypipe? Does it not fit your use case?

Last time I tested this, which was a few years ago, it worked just fine. But to be fair, this is not part of my workflow, just something I was testing out of curiosity.

If it doesn't do what you need for whatever reason, then I understand, but it just not true at all that the Wayland ecosystem has not been addressing these use cases.

The Brexit referendum was not binding and the decision with what to do with the results, if anything, was still entirely left to parliament.

Surely revising the numbers downward close to election when people are paying most attention to them is exactly the opposite thing you would want to do to get re-elected? I'd argue the motivation for malfeasance only makes sense the opposite -- BLS does not want the administration reelected and thus is releasing worse numbers close to the election.

We can seriously say that, yes. The courts have been saying this in the US for over 30 years. See Midler v. Ford Motor Co.

There are two similar famous cases I know offhand. Probably there are more.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

Bette Middler successfully sued Ford for impersonating her likeness in a commercial.

Then also:

Tom Waits successfully sued Frito Lay for using an imitator without approval in a radio commercial.

The key seems to be that if someone is famous and their voice is distinctly attributeable to them, there is a case. In both of these cases, the artists in question were also solicited first and refused.

He worked there for 5 years. It probably didn't feel "random" for him.

There is already precedent of this, where it was overt. Tom Waits, owner of a very distinctive vocal style, famously successfully sued Frito-Lay for making a commercial that used a singer that sounded too much like him. This was in the 80s, well before the Web or Generative AI.

Yes my org was recent DDoSed too repeatedly. It was honestly inexplicable. We're still not sure why.

That's not the conclusion at all I took from reading the Levine newsletter. His take seems to come down on the other side

Nintendo does not develop the Pokemon games for what it is worth. The quality of Game Freak's output is notably lower than Nintendo first party releases in general from a technical perspective. Even the original Pokemon games are some of the most famously buggy games of any prominence, so it is nothing new.

A seat consists of inches. And these vary on every airline. So yes you do need to know the inches to know how many seats to buy under your plan. In principle even an average sized person could be undersized on some theoretical airline with smaller seats -- the dimensions are key.

Your "good faith assumption" is just not the consumption profile of a twitter user. Scrolling through 100 tweets in a minute is completely plausible.

This was the CEO that Ryan Cohen hired to implement his vision originally. It is not cleaning house of execs that predate his involvement with GameStop.

Yes I love the idea and I want it to be legal. Perhaps it is even worth someone testing the law here intentionally to get the courts to rule.

The Internet Archive's mission, imo, should be to protect and steward their archives and ability to continue to maintain them above all though. Putting that at risk for a morally righteous additional cause is not worth it. This was a leadership failure

I think leadership at Internet Archive was deeply irresponsible for deciding a short term stunt was worth potentially existentially threatening legal exposure.

The entire leadership there and anyone who signed off on the decision should be replaced. I am a donor but I'm pissed. They should have known better.

The author of the joke memo is himself Asian American, which is a relevant detail.

The democratic part is that the government was elected to begin with, and if the voters do not like the changes to any laws, they can vote for someone else in the next election. But yes, the point of a democraticly elected government is that they are empowered to make, change, or eliminate laws as they see fit for the duration of their elected term.

One of Nomad's major pitches is that it can scale larger than K8s. It's all over any comparison between the two.

I could not even get paid half of what I am paid if I were limited to my local small-town market. I don't want to move. So WFH is a requirement for me to hit your #1.

I work in a customer facing role for enterprise software. I have to join plenty of customer Teams and WebEx links whether I like it or not. We use Zoom internally.

I see that as an organizational issue within that company and its project management rather than a political issue. US engineers certainly all know how to use and speak metric. I actually promise you that you won't be able find one who doesn't.

I think it is a tough sell that there would actually be real value out of changing a bunch of road signage and recipe books to metric, and being a stickler about telling people to weigh themselves in kgs instead of lbs for their weight loss programs, etc. It's basically purely aesthetics. I don't think it is politically conservative to say that there's no actual productivity or social gain from expending time and energy 'moving' to these things in everyday contexts.

In scenarios where metric is actually needed or appropriate nobody has any trouble using metric. Every kid has learned it in school for decades.

These are federal jobs so all of the pay bands are public knowledge.
