AWS Uses Amazon Linux 2 which supports using EPEL via the command `amazon-linux-extras` (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2/ug/al2-extras-list.html)

Amazon Linux 2023 does not support EPEL

So God does not play dice, but God takes bubble baths?

I always like pondering about things like this - if only from a philosophical standpoint.

Right now the theory is there is some matter that is unobservable by normal metrics but is indirectly observed by how gravity is interacting at large scales.

What is the "resting point" of spacetime? Does that make sense? Is that a thing that can be distinguished? We assume that there is dark matter curving spacetime but do we have an actual reference for spacetime at rest? Is this akin to the "MOND" theory that is being disproven in the article.

Isn't the point of AI to eventually get better an better to avoid such detection?

This only works in 2 solutions - those who want to be transparent about their own content, and those who use AI so poor that it gets caught without a disclaimer.

In the first case, creators can already disclose their content as AI in the title, description, or as an in video message.

In the second case, by identifying videos that are "caught", you can then develop a training database of bad videos which I'm sure could be basically fed back into the cycle of training algorithms.

Any data fed into the system is more data to train algorithms and AI. There is no "good data" or "bad data" from a moral or ethical sense. It's all just data.

It isn't unique to Amazon, and it isn't unique to some fool in HR. Anyone can make this mistake, but having worked at Amazon before, its ALWAYS this mistake.

The size and speed that Amazon works at requires every level of employee to constantly push. Workers have to get their scan rates up so boxes keep moving. Supervisors need to continuously load/unload trucks. Management has to push the rate boxes get out the building. And so on. A never ending push for numbers and numbers.

The purpose is to justify your job and justify your next job. There is no good enough. Even if you are the top building in your area, you must justify why there isn't infinite improvement from the last quarter, from last year.

So, now you get HR, Management, Admin, Training, IT etc departments trying to justify why they aren't on a path to infinite growth and productivity.

This means PROJECTS.

Projects are the justification. Why didn't we see improvement? We were rolling out a new trial run of some sorting technology. We were rolling out a new floor layout to improve throughput. And yes, We were rolling out a meditation program to encourage our workers to maximize their productivity.

It's not important that the Project succeeds. In fact that is beside the point. The Project is a scapegoat. Waste as much money as you want, and waste as much time as you want. As long as you have a new bullet point on your resume and can spit out some BS numbers, this then not only justifies your current job, but lines you up for the magical next one, so you can jump ship on all your BS half done projects and go to some higher level of the same routine.

This is not just Amazon. This is every corporate environment I've seen.
