According to the memo, metrics such as AI adoption rates, token consumption, code changes, and code reviews become "deeply flawed" when they are disconnected from actual results. Turning them into targets, Amazon says, encourages wasteful behavior that clashes with its emphasis on "frugality and simplicity" and can raise both compute bills and software complexity.

It's almost as if they're just now realizing Goodhart's Law exists.

In June, over $500,000 worth of bourbon was stolen out from under the nose of a warehouse in Phildelphia. The first paragraph:

Later in the story, the explanation for how this happened is nearly identical to these tech thefts:

Newman said investigators believe the theft may be tied to a "complex ring" targeting high-value consumer products. The perpetrators appeared to impersonate an existing trucking company, using a company name, phone number and other details to gain trust and secure the load, he said.

"They basically try and look like, sound like ⦠a legitimate trucking company," Newman said. "They spoof the company name, they spoof the trucking dispatcher."

In the company's news release, it said the theft appeared to have been carried out with knowledge of "logistics operations and product movement schedules," suggesting planning and coordination.

* Had employees already been through some basic anti-phishing training?

Every year we are required to take anti-phishing training. It's about 20 minutes long and gives examples of what to look for. You also have to take "tests" at the end to see if you learned anything.

Fortunately, for us, the phishing emails IT sends out are fairly easy to recognize if you take a few seconds to look at them. You don't even have to hover over any links.

And I bet you'd love it if we didn't have Russian diesel... imagine what your head of Mexican lettuce would cost.

The same. The first delivery of diesel amounts to 2.5 hours of diesel usage in the U.S. The total delivery comes out to about 3 days worth.

Yeah, totally fantastic to support a dictator deliberately targeting civilians to get for 3 days of fuel. It's sure to substantially drive down costs.

Every data center Ukraine can locate needs to be leveled. That would be far easier if the Russian asset in the White House would stop sucking Putin's dick and help Ukraine do its job.

After that, a systematic destruction of every power generation site surrounding Moscow needs to be undertaken. The city needs to go dark and stay dark during the winter.

If Ukraine hasn't already planned for this, they need to do it now. So long as Russia deliberately Ukrainian power generation and civilian targets, Ukraine needs to do the same. Once Moscow is dark, the muscovite midget's whining will be a joy to hear.

t's true that Ukraine has taken back some number of square kilometers of land (at high cost, mind you),

Yes. Several thousand Russian soldiers are now dead during Operation Vivaldi. A glorious outcome. What took you Russian trolls over a year to do Ukraine did in three months. You not only lost thousands of soldiers trying to take the land, you lost several thousand more losing the land.

Brilliant!

And before you start on, "But what about Ukraine's losses?", they have already admitted they lost soldiers, but in a small number. Nothing near the thousands you slovenly, drunk degenerates lost.

My parents have Verizon and have had them for years. The cost of phone, tv, and internet is roughly $135/month, and that's only for them to get 12 specific channels they choose along with local channels. Neither watch much tv any more which is why they went with this package.

That is still far too much. However, when my dad and I look over what it would cost to drop the tv portion and use something else such as YoutTube TV, they'd only say about $10/month.

We've talked about moving him to Comcast to get the lower rates, but he hasn't made the jump yet.

I have Comcast for internet only and have no problems with them despite the repeated complaints on here.

Otherwise the anti-matter universe would have more loosely coupled matter and everything is a lot more stretchy and elastic.

That explains Mister Fantastic and Helen Parr.

She knows nothing about how technology works. THAT is the reason not to quote her about tech.

Then men shouldn't be listened to about abortion since they know nothing about a woman's body.

You people like to lie, don't you? All covid vaccines underwent trials before given to the public. Those trials are how we know of any potential side effects. The ones you people keep claiming were never known.

You must be one of those who claims there's never been a double-blind study for vaccines even though they've been done. This article, published before covid hit, lays out the lies people like you put out and why they're lies.

And here's the results of a double-blind study on the effectiveness of the MMRV vaccine from 2016. How timely considering Kennedy lies about the measles vaccine.

They make you change the sheets, do laundry, and take out trash?

For what you pay, the hotel should be doing this.

Meanwhile in America the bleeding hearts want âoejusticeâ for a botched lethal injection death, and guilt-trip society when our Military wants to put a mass murderer in front of a firing squad. Pathetic.

And give pardons to the terrorists who attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the election, attacked police and put one in the hospital after he was repeatedly beaten and tasered, and destroyed and stole government property.

I don't understand that instead of spending a few million on improving the code and the algorithmd they are instead spending billions on infrastructure?

The same could be said for computers. Why spend all the money on increasing processor or RAM speed or new video cards when you could just update the code behind the OS and software? We'd still be using 486 machines!
