Yes, pulling the fire alarm is exactly the same thing as violently attacking police officers, vandalizing a government building and attempting to hang the vice president.
Not in MAGA land. Pulling a fire alarm if you are a D is much worse.
The data centre owners are saying that they want to externalize their costs by re-opening coal plants, instead of investing in renewables and storage for themselves.
Exactly, and they use the lure of jobs and tax revenue to get cities to bring them in; meanwhile the grid gets stressed. The data centers also want to be the last one to get interrupted in the event of demand shortfalls, so guess who will get blacked out before them? Meanwhile, the power company has to fight to get new plants sited cause of NIMBY while the same locations invite data centers to their town. I'm just glad I get my power from a wall outlet...
Nothing except the Slashdot headline seems to indicate they changed the story. They just edited some crappy snapshots. Aledgedly to hide whoever was slipping the filmmaker personal photos from a girl who tried to kill her parents.
Clearly we need a law. All TV shows must consist of slideshows of unedited crappy snapshots.
Yup. Typical slashdot headline; all tjat is missing is “reason ten will amaze you” TFA was clear the reason, as you point out, and nothing was nefarious.
Why do you people think it was poorly edited and anonymized photos by AI and not a person? It's pretty normal to edit photos in these situations for the reasons outlined in the article.
AI has become the big evil; so even if it is used to do what used to be done with other tools the result is somehow bad. CGI, Photoshop, AI are just one set of tools used in moviemaking, and can be used well or poorly and the results are all that really counts. Using any of them to change a story while claiming to present facts is a separate issue form whether or not any of those tools were used.
Still, now someone can write a script to pull all of the names and photos for any negative post and aggregate them from other sources around the net. The general public's response: "How much do we have to pay to see a dossier of random Joe Sixpack's or Jane Average's insane ramblings that we can then shame them for and deny them opportunities?"
All the more reason to use different user names and emails for various sites. If you are careful, no one will know you are a dog.
I think you missed the part of "regardless". I imagine the thinking is standardized tests will be used as a metric for accepting a smart poor kid versus rich alumni kids who get to ski in switzerland with the donors... Will it actually make a real difference on admissions? We'll see...
One possibility is to compare scores of similarly located students and focus on those doing better than the average, even if their score is lower than others admitted. The assumption Is such. student overcame challenges and thus should succeed at Harvard. One challenge with taht approach is you are likely to have small populations to compare results, so average scores may be misleading since many students simply will not take teh SAT/ACT and thus you have a self selected set of data points that do not reflect what the average score would be.
Microsoft's close involvement with commercial model training is taking the risk of ending up on the wrong side of a supreme court judgement for 11+ figure fines. For what? Consumers don't care, it's not a sales driver.
Apple is far better off just buying cloud services until the supreme court says whether or not copying (of pirated content) for training is fair use.
Apple apparently is taking a different route and paying for access to content:
At the same time, Apple is also getting more serious about tracking used iPhone components. The company announced that it will extend its Activation Lock feature, which is supposed to prevent thieves from using a device that’s lost or stolen, to iPhone parts. “If a device under repair detects that a supported part was obtained from another device with Activation Lock or Lost Mode enabled, calibration capabilities for that part will be restricted,” Apple says.
No doubt there will be ways to bypass that but will make it harder and thus less attractive to may thieves.
Teachers will need new teaching methods, since ChatGPT can lift the weight of the simple problems. But if you can't solve simple problems, how do you develop the skills to solve the harder ones?
They could do what one of my professors did when he got two identical answers to a test question. Called us in separately and asked us how we’d approach solving a similar problem. When I got it right it was clear I was not the one that copied an answer.
Have them explain the logic behind their answer. Sure a student could ask Chat-GPT the same question, but then again so could the professor.
The FAA is there to protect the aviation industry, not the Space Industry. During a rocket launch, they arent worried a plane will get in the rockets way, they are worried the rocket will blow up and debris will hit a plane. Here is an idea, instead of paying billions to government for something as simple as a broadcast to airlines and the public that reads: on this date, we plan to launch a rocket from here. Advise you stay away during launch window for a few hundred miles down range. The airlines will handle the rerouting. Problem solved, and look! Less government.
It's called a NOTAM: Notice to Airmen.
It's clearly fair that something that causes costs to a government agency pays those costs. However hiding a subsidy for NASA by failing to get them to pay as well would be featherbedding the public sector; remember that its NASA's poor record in developing space technology that has led to the private companies getting going.
Even if NASA paid the FAA it's still just an accounting issue. NASA would ask for $X in it's budget to pay the FAA and transfer the money as needed; in the end teh taxpayers pay it's just a question of how the money is accounted for in a budget.
There must be fine lines in the McKinsey offer that we don't know. Like they cannot refuse an offer of they get one that pays at least as much as they had previously, or they cannot delay the contract start (e.g. job application must contain sentence "available immediately") other than e.g. 4 weeks to relocate if the new offer is in another city.
Maybe, but the cost of a few extre months vs. angering someone who may be in aposition to hire your firm in teh future isn’t cost effective.
Think for just half a minute about that proposal and you'll instantly realize just WHY this is stupid.
Who will take that offer? Well, of course people who know that they can easily find a new job that pays about as much as they get right now. And who would be that? Will it be the ones that have a lot of successful projects to show off, people who got great connections in various companies, people who present papers and hold talks at conferences? Or will it be the ones that will just do the bare minimum so they don't get fired?
Do I really have to point out what portion of your company you lose with a move like that?
Not necessarily. Consulting is a tough lifestyle in terms of travel, work hours and wrk/life balance. The money is good, but money nis everything when you are trying to start a family or even keepo a relationship alive when you are always gone. Good people decide it’s not for them, this lets them leave and McK gets another alumni who may be in a position to hire them someday; or even return after getting real life experience. Meanwhile, they have McK on their resume which will open doors for them.
