I think what they’re saying is on leaflet, the department had pronouns listed, like “Department of Sanitation (they/them)”

To be fair, before ChatGPT, they’d probably still google it and land on a StackOverflow question for doing the same thing, rather than refer to the documentation or memorize it.

The Verge’s Podcast has a reoccurring segment now called “Brendan Carr is a Dummy” with all these stupid moves on his part.

They were pretty clear with the job for Office Space, they worked for a bank/financial institution and had to update the software for Y2K so the years could accommodate 4 digits. That’s why they were able to take push an exploit that allowed them to keep the rounded penny in a transition for their scheme, which may or may not have been inspired by Superman III.

Gotta pump the bubble somehow and show “universal AI usage”. Facebook did something similar like 10 years ago with inflating views for video content to get publishers to pivot to video on Facebook’s platform by juicing the numbers.

Oh yea btw the first time I watched interstellar was on a cheap android phone with LCD 720p display using the phone speakers…

We sent a SYN-ACK packet and YOU acknowledged it, confirming you are not spoofing YOUR IP address. Now WE share the same sequence number. Most sites do not tell you this is happening.

Doesn’t seem to be anything new here than what’s we already know:

• https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

Just with a more ominous tone. Is it any wonder people are afraid of technology?

Yikes, I bought my chair used, and this headrest is like half the cost of the full chair itself.

do you have a headrest attachment for the Aeron you’d recommend? I’m not sure if i need a headrest but maybe I don’t know what I’m missing out on?

This video helped me understand it a bit more. Basically the condition is that there’s not an immediate replacement for oil in the things that use it and that usage of oil is not going to drop by 20% to cover the reduction in the supply. Since oil is an inelastic product and we can’t significantly reduce the consumption in response to higher prices in the short term, this causes a more steep increase in price to balance the supply/demand.

I always read it for the articles

Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.

FWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like ps and top shouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under /proc/.

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/2501/

Doordash support is absolutely the worst. My credit card gives me free credits towards Doordash every month, but for some reason I can’t use it, and calling doordash and speaking with support is a nightmare. I have been given ever excuse possible about what the problem is, without any effort taken to actually address it.

I don’t necessarily blame the support agents, they just don’t seem to have any ability or knowledge to actually look into account level issues, which is a company issue. Trying to debug the issue, you start to notice a lot of other weird things with the app and their processes which seem like things are held together with shoestrings behind the scenes. At this point I have just given up, since I felt like I spent more effort on the phone with their support than the credits are actually worth.

There are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.

My thoughts exactly, can’t weigh an opinion on the quality unless I see it for myself.

That would probably result in the whole agreement being ignored, and would likely result in court cases where Fifa wins a settlement (paid for by tax dollars) if the state doesn’t uphold a contract. Also reputational damage to the state that contracts aren’t honored. IMO this is the only option that doesn’t result in the tax payers to foot the bill, so i commend her on pushing back on Fifa over this.
