Definitely depends on the sub-sector of the industry you’re in. There’s no shortage of stories of people who swear by it, or who are having it forced on them by management.

Me personally’ I’ve never wanted or been pressured to use it, and I work for a company with “AI” in the damn name. To be fair, though, this company was around doing general machine-learning stuff before the current LLM craze exploded. Also, I work with a small team that was only bought by this company a few years ago, and thus far has been allowed to remain practically independent. Also also, the business domain my team works in is finance and accounting, where there’s bot much practical application for ML, and where you REALLY can’t afford to fuck around and find out, with business data.

That is the swolest fucking horse I’ve ever seen, good lord.

Upvote for the desktop background.

The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access.

Yeah, wouldn’t want those AI companies to get all that data for free. Gotta make 'em pay for it.

My wife on weekdays, me on weekends/holidays/any days I don’t work.

They are also angry that about 500 families would have to be expropriated in order for the bridge to be built.

This is the real kicker, at least for me. Unless these folks vote unanimously to take a GENEROUS buyout, the plan should be dead. Fuck eminent domain.

Yeah, this seems like a non-issue, to me. When the ISP sees pirated traffic, they have to issue a notice to the customer, and that customer is Hampton Inn. The ISP doesn’t know or care that the end user isn’t Hampton employees. They’re just covering their ass, legally.

Don’t pirate without a proper VPN.

If I have cash, I’ll give it. I don’t give a shit whether they’re being honest or not. My generosity is not tempered by the dishonesty of others.

If they normally do these patrols EVERY morning, as the testimony claims, ot’s EXTREMELY suspicious, and the evidence to counter it needs to be equally-extremely convincing.

They will, on paper.

We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon

Lol, this is a static site. A 5 minute change. Even if they have a process to run all changes through review and testing before deployment (which they don’t or else this kind of “coding error” wouldn’t have happened), this is fixed same-day. They’re lying.

If I’m counting correctly… 9.

TL;DR By being Republican.

Hard to knock him for this one, who the hell CAN stay awake listening to Dr. Oz?

Oh, certainly not.

This very article.

And one batch of the 45WE EMU (electric multiple unit, the kind of train that doesn’t have a separate engine up front to pull the passenger cars), would switch off automatically when passing through the Mińsk Mazowiecki railway station. Trains full of passengers were left stranded.

To an extent, yes. “Video streaming giant Netflix” would suffice.

Three different articles I’ve seen about this and not ONE of them even ATTEMPTS to explain what Blackstone is.

Yes, I could, and did, google it, but it’s infuriating, on principle. It’s a bsic reading comprehension concept: don’t assume your reader knows outside context, when your audience is essentially random.

Well, yeah. The people who host them for profit should be held liable.

you write it in a special programming language, which is basically English, which describes how you want to see this application in a very specified way

A derivative of English, with different syntax and rules to help eliminate ambiguities? We in the industry tend to call that “code”.
