Where did you read that? I can bet it wasn’t the TOS, because that’s not in there. The TOS allows Adobe to review anything you create with its products using manual or automated means, and maybe restricted to normal screening for CSAM and such (although it’s really ambiguous about what they’ll actually do with it).
Well, you can have a funnel cloud, but it’s not a tornado until the condensation funnel touches the ground, and it’s not always clear what the case is until proper surveying is done.
I also think that AI companies shouldn’t be allowed to have non-disparagement agreements. Not because of x-risk or anything, but because a) I think all companies shouldn’t be allowed to have non-disparagement agreements, and b) it would create a bunch of entertaining content for this instance.
With conferencing, again, this is one app. If you look at your calendar, it is not only to join your video meeting but also a lot of other things. You read emails, send a chat message, make a phone call, have a whiteboard session, schedule something with external third parties. What we are doing now, it’s really looking at your entire schedule, how to leverage Zoom Workplace to help you out. Essentially, you can leave Zoom Workplace, and Zoom Workplace can help you get most of your work done, right? That’s our pitch.
That might be one of the worst pitches I’ve ever heard. Does that actually mean anything to anyone?
As a rough rule of thumb, if it’s running locally on a CPU with acceptable performance, the environmental impact is going to be minimal, or at least within socially acceptable bounds.
The creator of a “FUCK the LAPD” shirt sold out not only his entire stock of that shirt but also sold out many of his other designs after the Los Angeles Police Department Foundation made an intellectual property threat against them that claimed they owned the letters ‘LAPD.’
It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...
Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven’t bought a game from a major publisher since… uhh… well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?
As a former 4-Her myself, the 4-H extension office in our region is run by a state university, but the clubs themselves are community-organized. Also, many clubs in our area were general, so you could do any topic covered by the extension office and be a part of the club.
The part pictured here seems to be 3069px7 with the base color incorrectly set to white. In any case, it’s 3069, the standard 1x2 tile. Thanks to the folks at LDraw who have modeled every Lego brick in detail (because of course people have done that), we get a volume of 303.8mm³, with a bounding box size of 409.6mm³, for a density of about 74%. But, Bricklink can just directly tell us the mass of a 1x2 tile is 0.26g, so the total mass is 10.5 metric tons.
Bricklink is a site for individuals/small business to buy and sell primarily individual Lego pieces, so it’s important for shipping calculations to have reasonably accurate weights of all the pieces. Their weights are therefore contributed by those sellers. Although now that LEGO Group owns Bricklink, you’d think they could just slide them the numbers.
From some searching around, it looks like the hole tilts as you stand on it. It doesn’t look dramatic but it could definitely induce falls in people who are prone to such.
That strikes me as probably illegal, at least in the US (although I can’t find a better source, if someone can find where the EEOC says that it’d be appreciated.)
I didn’t intend to make any comment on morality. US law seems relevant given that it’s near-impossible to find one of these nonsense AI startups that isn’t either in the US or targeting US customers. Indeed, this one looks to be based in Los Angeles.
I’m familiar enough with country codes that I do know what ZA means, but in the context I didn’t realize that it was referring to a country, I thought it was just an abbreviation I wasn’t familiar with. In retrospect that probably should have stood out to me more.
I thought, “1.4 billion pounds of cheese can’t be a real number, right?” Turns out, it kinda is. 1.4 billion pounds (actually generally 1.45-1.5 billion) is the amount of cheese the USDA stores in cold storage warehouses across the US. And indeed, much of that seems to be in caves in Missouri. But any particular cave probably only stores a few million pounds, although getting specific numbers is rather difficult.
I’m not really convinced. I haven’t seen anything outside the capabilities of a talented individual, and such an exploit would be worth a lot of money, so the motivation is there.
