Large companies hire these guys through contractors not directly. So this will have absolutely no impact on your ability to get a job in IT.

The only way to stop the abuse is to completely shut down all of the programs. Americans cannot and will not do nuance. If we were capable of nuance as a people Donald j Trump wouldn't be president.

I'm open to other suggestions but I have yet to hear a single one that is both viable and actually works. And in a country with 25% functional unemployment you can't keep flooding the job market with cheap labor. People are going to look for a solutions and when the left and the center don't have any then the fascists are going to step up. They aren't actually going to solve the problem but they will end democracy by promising to solve it.

Tim Apple was smart enough to gift a gold plated whatever.

Sam Altman is a grifter himself and knew how to play this.

And now that we know communism is actually defined as anti-bigotry and has nothing to do with the means of production, I guess it is not communist to take ownership in Intel.

But Satya won't pucker up for Piggie. And so Microsoft gets to be the face of an attempt to gin up anti-Indian bigotry before the midterms.

Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Adobe will sue not because they are legally correct but because it is an effective tactic. They need only to make the case expensive until they bankrupt the defendant. Legality is not relevant to their case.

Interesting that you immediately jumped to censorship. Why is that?

....THIS is what gets upvoted on Slashdot these days? Woooooooooow.

Y'all are going to have to explain how they show more creativity than humans.

How they can solve problems that require reasoning. Go ahead and simply ask it one. Or make up a new puzzle and ask it that. To any level of depth you wish to make it.

Or how they can solve things where brute-forcing the solution would take longer than the heat death of the universe.

Do any of you have any evidence it "put puzzle pieces together" to find novel cancer treatments?

Seriously guys, obvious neo-luddite mindrot propaganda? From people of your caliber? Your ID length?

The muh freeze peach crowd are about the worst defenders of free speech I've ever met.

Speech is powerful and dangerous, which is why it is important and needs to be free. Pretending otherwise is to diminish it and erase the need for it to be protected.

It all depends on who you are optimizing for.

• Parents with kids would do better on standard time, because they have to take their kids to school before work.
• Everyone else with a 9-to-5 job may do better on DST, assuming a short commute distance, because sunrise at 7:20 instead of 8:20 just adds useless time before the morning commute, while sundown at 5:53 means driving home before dark.

There is no one correct answer, because which one fits your circadian rhythms better depends entirely on what time you wake up.

Poor poor persecuted white male. *pats head* there there, it'll be alright. Show us on the doll where she touched you and tell use how much you liked it.

One watt-second.

Because dams aren't engineered for where the dam sits?

Why are you so desperate to be "right" about things you clearly know nothing about? Do you think the US Army Corps of Engineers just rubberstamp hydroelectric projects everywhere they want one, or just maybe they look at the watershed to figure out what they can hold in the reservoir, and how much water they can let out per unit time based on the overall hydro system where the dam is?

News flash: the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia holds back 6 to 7 times the water that your Fontana Dam does, and it's entirely driven by snowpack melt. Every dam downriver from Grand Coulee (7 more hydro projects) uses the same water for generating more energy.

What do you think happens if there isn't enough snowpack? You end up with reduced output from each and every dam along the Columbia. This means there is less power to transmit along the Pacific DC Intertie to Southern California right when they are ramping up AC load in the summer.

For fucks sake.

Sounds like drama. Self-fulfilling prophecy for a ridiculous person.

Ridiculousness is not gender specific, and can occur at great lengths regardless of gender.

As always, nothing of value was lost.

Unless you are in the television business, or 60+ years old, who the hell is watching these televised self-congratulatory industry-wide group masturbation events anyway?

Also, who is to say that the quality of the "voices" is the same? If the "female" voices are just shittier at pronouncing things, they will get used less.

It could just as easily go the other way - if the "male" voice is shit, I'll listen to a "female" voice because BEING UNDERSTANDABLE is the goal, not gender studies.

I certainly believe there is a gender-based pay gap; but what the hell are we even doing.

Strike one, which is just shitty journalism: The linked news article doesn't link to the study. So no, this here slashdot article isn't putting out a paper that spells out what they did.

The University of Limerick has a page dedicated to it which links to the actual paper.

Go for it.

I bet you leave all your front door unlocked and open at home since someone could just break a window and therefore your house will never be safe.
