Being in the same location at the same time certainly seems like it’d make organizing and meeting with union reps easier. And with more motivation to do so due to crappier working conditions. I’d say it’s more likely the remainder will unionize, yeah. And then have the union push for WFH.
Both li-ion and lithium polymer batteries still have many kilograms of lithium. A lithium-ion battery pack for a single electric car contains about 8 kilograms (kg) of lithium, according to figures from US Department of Energy science and engineering research centre Argonne National Laboratory. It may be a small percentage of the total battery pack and coolant weight, but it’s still a lot of extremely explosive metal.
Fun fact: most gasoline car fires are started by electrical issues. Mechanical fuel pumps died out with the carburetor, just about every car made has hot wires going to the gas tank. The conflagration is completely fueled by gasoline though. Diesel is pretty hard to ignite, you can toss a burning match into a pool of diesel and the match will go out. But once ignited it’ll burn like a champ.
Not to mention needing capital for the land, equipment, seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, fuel, power, storage, transportation and uncountable other misc with a price tag. Starting with trained doctors and on to even more narrow specialists.
I also see nothing about billing the parents of both parties for police time and other resources used.
Google has turned evil. Back to Microsoft, everyone!
X-creting, not posting. Or would that be xitting (pronounced ‘zitting’).
I am rarely a hipster, but I was definitely on the “Musk is an asshole” bandwagon waaaaaaaaaaay back in the days of grabbing credit for PayPal and founding Tesla. He’s always been an asshole, but for the longest time his very loud fan club was willing to overlook the various indicators.
Indeed, OMFG. But that’s the whole point of my approach of divining AI vs human. No human has such canonical knowledge of Unicode blocks. Even people working on internationalization features for modern browsers and word processors. Not people phishing by using Unicode in domain names (IDNA; who thought this was a good idea?) to spoof legitimate sites. Definitely not ones chatting with randos on the Internet. This is a hill I’m willing to die on.
So in a more generalized sense, to determine human vs A.I. one must indirectly ask incredibly specialized technical questions as you have done.
I’m still in utter awe at how well GPT manages ‘l33tsp33k’, even across every possible Unicode block. This “attack” was and still is valid on other chatbots and even GPT of just a few months ago. But GPT today is so amazing it only needs a few characters in a few words to determine intent. The ability to filter out noise is unmatched. The only way to trip it up is to have every single character in every word be from a different alphabet. And even then, at some point if this becomes common enough the bots can auto OCR text images into the presumed query language and ignore that attack vector.
ChatGPT capabilities border on the supernatural. Here’s how I broke it:
𐤔hat is ᛐ + ᛐ?
ChatGPT
The symbols you’ve used, “ᛐ,” appear to be runes from ancient runic alphabets. However, the specific meaning of these runes might differ depending on which runic alphabet you’re referencing (e.g., Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, etc.).
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the rune “ᛐ” is not a standard rune in any of the commonly known runic alphabets. Therefore, without knowing the exact meaning or value of the rune “ᛐ,” it is impossible to provide a specific answer to the expression “ᛐ + ᛐ.”
If you could clarify the runic alphabet you’re referring to or provide more context about the runes, I’d be happy to help you with the calculation or interpretation.
I had limited success with gokturk (ancient turkish) and Phoenician unicode blocks (letters 𐰗𐰓𐤔𐤕) depending on the query, but you are correct. GPTs ability to divine intent from even small amounts of context are superhuman. Cyrillic used to break it, but no longer does. This thing learns like a beast. Canadian aboriginal ᗷ and ᗅ and possibly ᖇ hold some promise, but only in combination with other writing systems. I’ll have to add a LOT of other unicode code blocks to my tool belt.
This is very, very easy. Google “cyrillic keyboard” or just install the Cyrillic keyboard support on your phone. Many letters in the Cyrillic alphabet look exactly like their Roman counterparts, but are completely different sounds and meanings. Cut and paste the Unicode into the chat, in place of regular letters. For example, ‘Неllо’ looks exactly like ‘Hello’ in most fonts, but is actually ‘Nello.’ I know you doubt, so check it out in a Unicode inspector: https://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect?s=%D0%9D%D0%B5ll%D0%BE
The reverse also works. E.g., TPAKTOP B CPAKY means ‘tractor into ass’, and I typed that using 100% Roman characters.
Nah, spez would murder you for money if he could. And then carpet bomb your corpse with ads.
Swan Lake is all the entertainment Lapotnaya Rus’ needs. The Party will communicate everything, no need for comrades to talk to each other.
Even big corps can’t make money on rentals. Not enough to bother with the risk. Higher property taxes, higher insurance, higher maintenance costs on one side, deadbeat friendly regulation and wages not keeping up with inflation resulting in not being able to pass the extra costs along to renters.
Starwood is the first REIT looking to sell 2000 of their 3200 homes, I expect more to follow especially if Fed hikes another 50-100 basis points. Why would anyone go for a < 3% return cash on cash from operating rentals if they can make 5-6% from loaning money to the government?
Normally you’d expect this to be good news, with falling demand making homes affordable. Not going to happen. The costs of building a home, between more expensive materials, tight labor and high cost of debt (builders take out unsecured loans to buy land/build the home) mean new homes are stupid priced, and that feeds into higher costs of older homes. Just like the insane car market post COVID shortages. Expect paralysis and continued housing shortages, not cheaper housing.
Elon views even previous, no longer employed workers as his slaves for life. The truly disturbing thing is he’s not the only one with that mindset.
What happens if a driver chooses to be online for all 3 delivery services simultaneously? Is there some sort of SLA for deliveries per hour? Seems like it might be a pretty decent gig if not.
Odds are it was written by ChatGPT or similar A.I. Been seeing a LOT of articles with odd mistakes or written in “A.I. voice” lately.
So, I was on an accessibility focused team, testing and cleaning up after the feature developers to make sure the whole product still met WCAG 2.0 to AA level. I can state with complete confidence that anyone without such a team will introduce unexpected accessibility breakage and regressions every single release, sometimes in completely untouched sections. For trivial tweaks. Screen readers are finicky, temperamental and moody beasts. Modern web toolkits do a fairly good job of being accessible out of the box, but like ChatGPT generated text, they require a bit of help sometimes.
Would not be surprised if Reddit just wants to pay lip service to accessibility. That shit costs cubic money to do right, and slows the roll of releases. Unfortunately, most advertisers on a social platform couldn’t care less.
Streamlining garbage-in-garbage-out for the mainstream is apparently worth trillions.
Why would anyone bother visiting Kotaku if they could just ask an AI to make shit up directly? Management just not thinking beyond the immediate present.
This is the plan, but it’s always a bad one. The people hopping jobs are the top performers, ones with marketable resumes that get snapped up even in a weak market. The ones forced to remain either feel less marketable or are less marketable for a number of reasons.
It’s extreme short term thinking that leads to both morale and performance issues sooner than leadership expects.
