In the EU similar stuff is promoted by companies wanting to profit from supplying the various required software.

Calc has loads of small papercuts (tiny usability issues) which added together make it quite horrible to use. It’s not polished.

Pretty sure Collabora (company) offers such services.

Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

im qualified enough to know better

Maybe if you make YouTube videos you’d achieve that.

Regarding experts, there’s so many topics where experts are ignored.

oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.

There are different type of smoke alarms. Some detect smoke. There are two ways of doing that. Near a kitchen area it’s usually best to get a completely different one that just uses changes in temperature. Though they will only notify you way matter. So highly recommend keeping the existing one and moving that one somewhere else.

That said, the amount of troubleshooting and wasted time that it took to figure out that the CPU was responsible for months of random crashes

I went through something similar, so I understand.

My (AMD) CPU was defective. But if was only noticeable that it would never be able to wake up from suspend. I didn’t really notice crashes. Just broken suspend. I thought it was a Linux kernel bug, though couldn’t figure out any details. Only after almost a year of pain (no suspend) the CPU just didn’t boot at all anymore.

It was sort of replaced under warranty by the store. They took ages to investigate, then gave a store gift card. Likely because the CPU was temporarily out of stock. I had to wait for the CPU to be in stock to be able to buy it again. Fortunately still had the previous AM4 CPU.

The new CPU suspends without any issues. Took months to be able to not doubt suspend. E.g. if it was suspended I usually thought it had crashed.

An unreliable CPU is a terrible experience.

Renewables are cheaper than coal. And the replacement wasn’t limited to gas and coal. There are articles which explained that there wasn’t a massive increase in e.g. coal usage.

The CNN article article also briefly puts a high figure for coal on energy, which could lead to confusion.

over the top cartoonish DEI

Suggest to consider why you’re highlighting DEI a an issue. I only see such stuff from pretty right wing media.

A common trick is to blame problems on a group. E.g. black people, gay people, trans people, etc. DEI fits right into that.

It’s really hard to explain their actions as being profit-driven.

Why are people outraged? Currently the blame is on trans and DEI. You’re blaming Disney instead of the ones promoting yet another group as the cause why stuff is bad.

That’s news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.

Because they make certain assumptions. Fortunately the EU mandated that cars measures those things since various years. That caused a review of those hybrids. They’re usually not charged.

"As the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say, he couldn’t remember things. He couldn’t even remember me.

That’s from the article. It’s not any random person as you somehow want it to be.

Yet you back up your claim with nothingness. Not quite sure how living in a country makes you an expert on regulations. Why didn’t you add substance? The compliance department in the companies I worked for wouldn’t be experts btw.

You don’t know the Ape? It’s really everywhere in Europe.

I haven’t seen those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany except maybe once in 5 years. Further, it’s seems not comparable. In Netherlands it likely wouldn’t be considered a car. It likely would fall under the max 45 kmh regulations.

You’re putting words into their mouth. Plus making crazy comparisons.

In the EU any bank requires customers to use 2FA. Dutch customs requires critical logistics companies to use 2FA (amongst other stuff).

From what I recall critical companies must address likely methods to breach their security. It is highly likely that a company will get loads of attempts to check. Similarly, a critical company is expected to deal with employees leaving and ensuring their access is revoked.

From skimming they seem to say that there isn’t a breach because an account of an ex-employee was used. But that’s too easy, the processes sucked. The way they got in is just one of the things that some EU regulation requires critical companies to address. Same for perhaps not forcing customers to use 2FA. That’s crazy.

The EU is usually really slow in regulating things. If they got in using a method that the EU said you had to address then it means you had ages of time and nothing was done.

Really unresponsible. Especially as I think they seem be pretty critical part of the economy.

It would be great if media wasn’t allowed to repeat such obvious lies. Media should be free to say what they want, but there should be consequences. If you spread lies then there should be consequences to it. And it shouldn’t require a hugely expensive court case that’ll get dragged on for at least a decade.

Trumps lawyer was just not good/ rusty.

From what was said on Meidas Touch, a defense lawyer should be fairly independent. They should direct the best strategy. In this case the “strategy” seemed to be directed by Trump. It’s not just the quality of the lawyer, it’s also that the lawyer let the client dictate most of the defense.
