Any ideas?
By far one of the most interesting articles I've seen on Lemmy so far, thanks for the link
They provide services to ALL people. So tired of reading that only the poor use the library. My kids are always begging to be taken there to get books and do activities. We just used the color printer/copier at ours the other day and the first 3 copies were free. Libraries are an amazing community resource for EVERYONE.
People will find a way to get around it, I could see buffering a video for 5 mins or even downloading the entire video ala locally playing podcasts, then using AI or some type of frame analyzation technique t to skip ads. Or just skip them like good old fashion Tivo from your player.
I call bs, a motorcycle provides way less protection. And which states are they illegal in? Lobbying and another money grab from corporations in our "free market" society. I would love one of these BTW.
This has happened to myself as well as other friends in the trades where you are expected to buy and maintain your own tools. Not only do you to loose thousands of dollars in tools, it also effects ongoing and new work as well as a shit load of time spent rebuying and finding the right tools again. The police just don't care, the last time it happened I didn't even bother filing a report. I consider this one of the lowest forms of petty theft. It kills people's lively hoods and takes food out of their family's mouths.
The problem with this logic is the manufactures have no control over the iPhone update. The article didn't go into exactly what happened, but it could have been that the device worked fine at launch, but then Apple released an update which caused an issue in the app. Even if it didn't happen this way I could definitely see it happening. Using an app for critical life sustaining medical devices is like playing Russian Roulette, an update from Google or Apple can put you in the hospital, or worse.
For your convenience:
The company who's product they are banning.
Along the same vein, there was another company recently who made plant based blue cheese that was disqualified from a blue cheese contest after they were going to take first.
I think a more direct translation is "The city of the future moves on a bike". Not sure what google translate says but those sites usually miss the subtleties of language.
The problem with this is that companies like rabbitai are exploiting our inherent drive to teach in order to pass on knowledge and make society and life better for the next generation and ourselves. (In this case code reviews) This doesn't work in this situation because you're not actually helping out another person that will reciprocate help to you down the line. You're helping out a large company, which has no moral values and doesn't operate in society with the same values as a human being. To me a code review is more than just pointing out mistakes it's also about sharing knowledge and having meaningful dialog about what makes sense and what doesn't. There's no doubt that AI is an amazing achievement, but to me it seems that every application of this technology that involves human interaction manages to simultaneously exploit and erase the core "humanness", of the interaction. I think this is the case because these types of AI applications are purely monetarily driven, and not for the advancement of our society. OpenAI had the right idea to start with, but they have sunken into the same trope in lock step with the rest of the Googles, Apples and Amazons of the world. Imagine if one of these large companies like say Google had been given money by the us government to create the arpa net and then went on to only use the technology for profit. Would we really be in the same connected world we are now?
Can't afford a used car, can't afford to send my kids to school (day care was near 25k a year for our twins) , health care costs are horrendous (life expectancy continues to be one of the worse in the developed world even though we spend the most by far), food costs are through the roof. Can someone please tell me how this economy is better? WTF are these people talking about.
I have to chime in on this one, I grew up in Oregon and worked at Target a couple of years as a cashier and cart collector. This was by far the most miserable job I have ever had, it sucked. Besides leaving their nasty ass trash and dirty diapers in the carts people would leave them scattered all over the mall parking lot. It was my job to walk a mile or so around the lot that encircled the mall at closing time in the pouring rain and collect them. This was before they had the robots that push them for the workers, so we used a rope attached to the front to steer about 35-40 at once. With out fail id consantly get my sopping wet feet run over by those fucking things while trying to push them back to the store. Not to mention, we'd get the occasional wind storm and the ones that weren't corraled would blow all over the parking lot crashing into cars. Then we'd get bitched at by the customers. Trust me when you put a cart back in the corral, the people working at the store appreciate it. There's more than enough other work to get done in retail.
