To add: If you cancel a contract that was 80% finished then that is not a saving. It means you likely wasted 80%.

It really feels like penny wise, pound foolish. Only focusing on what’s paid out and thought about the benefit.

Though the simplistic approach is likely intentional.

Agreed, which is why it’s funny that certain crowds think gloves are magic.

Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

He assumed the rules don’t apply to him. Rules are for the people you don’t like.

it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it’ll contaminate it and anything they’ll touch afterwards.

People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they’ll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that’s pretty often.

Strangely there’s some huge craziness where there’s loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it’ll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

I feel like this is something that won’t really happen.

Similar things were said about abortion.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

In Rotterdam (Netherlands) they’re replacing the sewage system. People get a letter that they’re responsible for the bit on their ground. In practice the city also handled the line to the house.

I don’t understand why in your area they’d not take care of that bit. With everything mostly open it should be much easier anyway.

That the city doesn’t promise anything is likely for things like liability and unique/expensive exceptions. But not doing that in practice, so strange.

Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you’ll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.

Might not be enough. Apparently they have better plans in place to manipulate the voting proces into (incorrectly) declaring Trump and others the winner, even if the votes say something else.

So instead of accepting that the driver should be GPL and part of the kernel, you turn things around and pretend the development of the kernel is the way that it is because of a conspiracy against Nvidia?

The bit regarding Wayland doesn’t make sense, no idea what you’re getting at. Though maybe you don’t follow Linux developments?

You’re putting words into their mouth. Plus making crazy comparisons.

I highly recommend list-inhibitors. Not sure if this is the one I mean, the command line seems to match to the one I use: https://pypi.org/project/list-session-inhibitors/

This command gives a way nicer output.

For me Firefox often prevents the system from going to idle. If some page has a video it often seems to inhibit going to idle. Firefox strangely does that even if the video is paused.

For me and Firefox I’m often intend to do something about it. And then I don’t for various reasons 😂

My budget is maximum $50

There’s a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They’re all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.

Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/

He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).

Then implement polkit perhaps? https://polkit.pages.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit-apps.html

Basically the root using bit is handled via polkit. Three unprivileged bit calls the privileged bit via polkit.

The EU could do that, if it wasn’t for Poland assisting Hungary. I’m guessing that Slovakia nowadays also helps Hungary by preventing the EU from stopping this nonsense.

Toss em out.

Not possible.

Meanwhile orban bringing MANY immigrants to hungary, intentionally

He should’ve learned from the Netherlands. Right wing made claims about asylum seekers. While showing immigration figures.

In Netherlands immigration is not due to asylum seekers. Immigration consist of students and knowledge workers.

Anyway, they said there was a huge issue with reuniting families of asylum seekers. There wasn’t an issue, it was just claimed.

Netherlands now have a radical right wing government. Based off of untrue statements. They’re planning to save loads of money, just need the EU to make those happen. Meaning, it won’t happen. Obvious plan is to blame the EU for things which are predictable.
