I mean. yeah. But it seems “Elias” comes from training data meant to hide the copyright infringement.

Anyway, that wasn’t a serious gotcha, I just thought that’d be funny.

🔘 Yes

Bee hotels are for solitary bees/wasps/… though.

As far as I know all ant species are social, and they have no problem digging out huge nests just about anywhere. Not sure what kind of dedicated facility you could make that would make it easier for them, or if it would be useful.

In France, when you check your income tax if you have nothing to correct you don’t even need to sign it.

Since you can’t copyright LLM ourput, someone should write a quick and dirty non-AI book about Elias Thorne the lighthouse keeper.

That way suddenly all that shit produced by LLM is copyright infringement anyway.

Good thing senior developers will always just pop up from thin air when you need them, instead of being actual people who started as rookies and gradually got experience!

Right?

Oh, no, the legal killing machine nearly killed someone.

So if I’m getting this right they do keep biometrics from people who have never agreed to anything, but only on smartglassers’ devices and they are not transmitting them. Yet?

Still a huge invasion of privacy. Nobody stores data just to be left “pending” in a random folder. Yeah it’s very similar to when they made pseudo-profiles from tagged people on facebook pics. Was not even aware they were eventually and succesfully sued for it.

Can’t get the full article.

Is that really saying they sent updates to non-glasses users’ phones only to access their biometrics, so they can basically broadcast that identification to their glasses?

No way this is EU GDPR compliant. So glad I got a phone that doesn’t come with system-embedded meta shit.

Wii sports was a hit in many retirement homes.

I mean, I know personally I’d always be willing for something like that. Especially if the alternative is freaking bingo.

“An advanced civilization”?

Sure, try typing “Sol-3” and “Sol-3a” into wikipedia.

Ah yes, the mad scientist way. Keep clear of the walls during storms though.

Also when you have to drill into a wall (say, to get a cable through it), those devices that detect wires won’t be able to help you anymore. Sooo… Good luck?

Even when an actual Japanese restaurant franchise opens a place here, they are usually run by local people. I don’t think that has much to do with how authentic the food is.

Like I don’t care if my baguette was technically made by a guy born in Clermont-Ferrand. Flour, salt, water, baker’s yeast. Nothing else. Do it right, and congratulations, that’s a baguette.

Well the title itself is already that joke, I guess it’s their way to hammer it in for everyone.

Can you come back in a century or two?

The way I’ve been introduced to it (informally, and with the cardboard variant), during sprint planning everyone gives an estimate of how hard a particular issue/task will be.

Note that it was not said how long. These are specifically not supposed to be units of time because “someone with experience might do a 13 in 10 hours, while a beginner may need 20”.

And it’s Fibonacci because… I don’t know, I’m sure there’s an official explanation about that choice of distribution but it’s basically an attempt at witchcraft to me.

You know that thing about the Spinal Tap amp going up to 11 so it can be “one” louder? That’s how I feel about those cards. In practice I had a much more sane version of this in another team, and that was just “this will be very easy to do”, “this will take time” and “this might be too complex for the benefits”.

You know, there’s decent stuff in agile, as long as it’s mostly general guidelines and a way to set reasonable goals.

And then there’s stuff like decks of cards with the fibonacci sequence on them and suddenly the team is supposed to play poker to decide how “hard” a task will be.

Those banners that include necessary cookies are all misdirection so they can make the whole more confusing.

Like how sites want you to believe ads are now worthless if they are not targeted and being fed all of your private data. Untargeted ads used to remunerate them just fine before that was an option.

tumblr has had an incredibly annoying one since forever, the login wall. It shows up while scrolling down about half a screen to tell you you can’t browse any more of it without an account. There are greasemonkey scripts to remove it, but every once in a while tumblr changes the way it’s displaying that shit, so the scripts have to be updated.

(Yeah, I know, tumblr. Don’t judge, I used to download a lot of Sims custom content, and a lot of sim modders like tumblr, for a reason I still don’t fully understand)
