ErIog posted:One other thing, though, is that law is one of the areas that is probably one of the hardest targets for ML in an economic sense because it has significant liability associated with it. I don't really understand this argument because as far as I understand it, lawyers have perfect protection from liability. If they gently caress up your case from a creative point, you can't sue them for professional liability like you can with a mechanical engineer or a medical practitioner. Losing a case is because your case was wrong, a bridge falling over is because the engineer got it wrong and he (well, his professional indemnity insurance) has to pay. Most law is trying to find the closest equivalent example to copy paste the result from. Whether that is a fine being challenged, a contract dispute over "shall" and "should", a laborious line by line division of a divorcing couple's assets. Sure, there will need to be checks and skilled oversight but it's the equivalent of suggesting that new designs of bridge can't benefit from computer aided design because the creativity that goes into bridge ideation, design and execution is beyond computers. That is to say, I don't think ML is going to replace lawyers entirely ever, but that a lot of labor and resources devoted to legal disputes now could be re-purposed to other things in life with appropriate automation and ML based research.

Cruise control is still killing people every day to this day even though it started out as a lovely PID loop and now they are quite refined.

Morrowind was also procedurally generated and then touched up from what I understand. Daggerfall to go back even further.

Jaxyon posted:Suddenly laying off people when their health insurance is dependent on their job is a lot more likely to result in death than a workplace shooting where the management was nice. eh, it's seen as a bit of a favour if you get your notice and let go immediately with pay in lieu. It is not the worst job to look at someone with five kids and a sick mum in the eye and tell them they are expected to work up until the very last day of their notice period of dismissal at a good productivity. Generally do a deal that they/you keep working until another job is found and allowed to immediately leave. It is just hard to manage that on a large scale. I am curious on what their methodology was, maybe it is something that is not obvious - maybe certain people that were paid more than others at the same level, maybe diversity ratios get a kick up out of this, those that don't / do have large redundancy costs, maybe a random number generator, maybe ChatGPT was asked and spat out a list. That it seems indiscernible probably tells you that some of their selection criteria could be challenged in court and enough noise needs to be added to plausibly muddy the water. With google, I seen on tik tok that Microsoft AI assisted search release and the panicked google reaction underscores that if Microsoft cuts Google's grass on most popular search engine, Google revenue could halve or quarter in a short period of time. Is this feasible?

I get not doing much work on your phone, I got a work issued phone and still have all notifications for work applications turned off (email, whatsapp, teams, etc). But it is a weird hill to die on. The only software my company had expats install on their personal phone was a travel security software ap. You are in trouble, you hit panic and a team sitting in an office in London would react and coordinate a response. You sent your travel ahead of time and it would pop up a notification if your went off route for them to follow up as another feature. Most expats were pretty lackadaisical about the whole thing but one guy in particular made a big song and dance and was going to take the company to EU court over it etc. Absolute Pikachu face when he got managed out.

Blew my mind that the stat they rolled out was how many extra students pass an exam if made to attend class - do we really want people to graduate that can't complete tasks without being in an office and also don't know enough to attend an office without being made to if they are struggling? The defenders of attendance linked marking were in turn flabbergasted that the major Western Australian Universities are offering all classes online and declared it was going to be a disaster out of hand. The defenders tended to be US professors from what I could work out but I assumed academia tends to be more progressive, especially academia with a SA account but turns out not.

His Divine Shadow posted:So more students graduated if they attented a class than if they studied from home. Indicating students learn better when physically present than remotely. A key point is it is optional whether students come in or not at Murdoch Uni, Curtin uni, etc. They have all the lectures and materials available in person as well as not. The mandatory attendance system is that if you stay home to care for your kids or work a job to pay for studies, the lecturer don't give a poo poo you can knock the subject matter of the exam out of the park - getthefuckouttahere. The relaxed attendance system approach is that it's up to you to work out what you require to get across the material and if you believe you can do it all (except exams) at home and you can't (as evidenced by failing the exam which don't have attendance requirements), then professional workplaces are probably best served by someone else. Pushing someone over the pass line that can't work out what is required to complete the work is not someone that should be in the workplace implied by that qualification. If your goal is just to graduate as many people as possible, the mandatory attendance system makes sense. If the goal is to get the right people with the right skills into the right jobs, then it is the wrong approach in a work from home world that we live in. Are you really expecting a person that the difference between passing and failing was being FORCED into the classroom to be the best person in a work from home workplace?

I want to lend support to the training and worksite applications. Remote working is already increasing but I think it has the potential to be even better with AR. From surgery to remote underground bogging to crop dusting to tower crane operation. Think about how quite detailed drawing are already worked up for pump or a gearbox but you don't want to continually strip down and wear the mating faces of your spare gearbox. VR could really help the training of your mechanical fitters or to teach welding technique for much cheaper than consuming expensive flux and materials constantly. Of course it wont replace all training but in the same way that all airlines now use simulators for the bulk of aircraft training (and especially failure mode training), I think cheaper VR and more robust makes it more accessible.

Nah, the journalist in the tik tok link was playing gotcha. "Hey CEO, does Sub stack censor a sentence saying "brown people should not be allowed in the US" ?" Of course the straight answer is "no". There are so many ways to say that statement so if the CEO says "yes", the obvious follow-up is asking about some example of someone avoiding filters or terms of service (P0 So once that question was asked the responses were either "No" - He just agreed that brown people shouldn't be allowed in the US. "I am not going to answer that" - He is avoiding doublespeak arsehole but didn't specifically state he believes that brown people should not be allowed in the US. "Yes!", "What about examples x, y and z where this happened?" Maybe some back and forth on specific example that journalist is fully aware of all the specifics of the examples and the interviewee knows nothing but at the end of the day - He is a demonstrated liar and a racist. So he has chosen the second one and wearing the insinuation of being outed as a racist for the rest of his career (because this tik tok is here to stay), that is why he is paid the big bucks. In a similar vein, how do you think Jeff of SA should answer "Does SA censor a sentence saying "a child should be beaten to death for theft"?" - if you think that journalist was a hard hitting truth-finder, then you are not going to like the answer to this question (it was a misfired joke and the poster probated for it but the original post is still undeleted). This is not to say that the CEO is not a raging racist arsehole that also double-speaks but I'm not making any claims to that, just saying that this journalist is using that one weird trick of "gotcha" as old as the hills and interviewees do indeed hate it.

That's why he couldn't say it. Someone finding 88 on your site is enough to prove that you have not banned hate speech.

Stexils posted:youre conflating policy with execution. its impossible to scrub every scrap of hate speech from social media site but that doesnt mean that company policy is hate speech is fine, just that their resources are limited. this is generally understood and typically only comes up when it appears the company is undermoderating or deliberately allowing hate speech to stay up (like facebook undoing algorithm tweaks discouraging extremism because it also dropped engagement or musk unbanning a bunch of right wingers). The question was not "do you condone hate speech on your website", it was "do you censor hate speech on your website?", which is to say that any single example of implied hate speech found is proof that hate speech is indeed not censored. That is why the question was asked that way. Everyone knows the answer to "do you condone abhorrent behavior" is "no, we don't always agree with the users of our product and their views do not reflect the views of us as a vendor". That is why the question was asked in absolute terms of whether it exists (ie, do they censor/remove all examples of), not whether they have a policy on it. Jose Valasquez posted:It's really weird how you changed the question asked so you could defend the CEO.

Is "brown people should not be allowed in the US" censored from US airwaves? I'm sure I have seen placards on the international news suggesting as much so the answer is "no". Are there policies, laws and resources put towards improving the situation? Yes, even if not very effective a lot of the time.

The CEO's answer was that the TOS does not allow for hate speech. He was not asked about the TOS, he was asked about banning a specific concept. Any example found of this concept on the site is proof it is not banned. So instead of saying it is banned (with the obvious setup for being asked about an example of it existing on the site because the concept could be interpreted literally or liberally), use mealy mouth nothing statements to ineffectively avoid saying "no, there is not an effective technical or moderation solution in place to clean this website of every way of saying "brown people should not be allowed in the US". Evil Fluffy posted:You absolutely can ban hate speech. That doesn't mean it won't show up and need to be reported but hey, that's what moderators are for. I mean ban as in ensuring there is no examples on the site or that employees are exposed to. I'm not talking about synthesizing Jeff's voice, if it was generated he could go on the record later saying he didn't say that. But if it is quoted out of context as I suggest, and gets challenged later (hey jeff, the other day you said SA doesn't ban support of murdering children for theft), he gets the awesome mealy mouth answer of "That is out of context".

Pachylad posted:Why can't he just say "gently caress no, we don't condone racism" like how is this so hard. He didn't give a half-hearted mealy-mouthed answer about 'we'll do better' that is the expected tech-bro platitude at this point, he just gave a more half-hearted mealy-mouthed psuedo-philosophical 'enlightened centrist' take that thinks that doing action on racist statements is bad?? He tried repeatedly to say that the TOS does not condone hate speech but the interviewer was having none of that and kept going back to asking about whether substack censored a specific concept. That is my entire point. The interview was purely about avoiding the "gently caress no, we don't condone racism" answer and setting up the guy for a lay down misère "ahh but here is an example where your site DIDN'T censor this concept!". The reality is that substack likely just want to rely upon the TOS and reports and not commit to actively moderating the stuff on their site to a measurable standard. Active moderation comes with its own heeby jeebies (you should also prevent your volunteers/employees from being exposed to anything you don't condone), costs and like with Facebook, opens you up for being in situations you just don't want to buy into (Palestine should be censored anyone?). He likely would rather that the hate speech would just gently caress off as most of us do but it's a big statement to say "yep, we are totally up to saying yes to completely censor a concept on our site each time an interviewer with an angle formulates one." Remember, TOS ruling out hate speech was not good enough for the interviewer, the interviewer was specifically challenging whether a specific concept was censored (ie totally removed). pumpinglemma posted:TIL that murder is legal.

I bought more expensive ones after that because they were lighter and slimmer, not because the literal cheapest laptop I could buy couldn't keep up with Microsoft. Teams for me has glitches but sure has made WFH way more streamless than without. I even us its filling system for group stuff as better than Egnyte (which is probably unreliable due to corp IT settings than a problem with Egnyte per se).

Absurd Alhazred posted:It doesn't matter how good the hand tracking is if it doesn't have haptics, for which a headset is irrelevant. "[A] board of switches" (the right board, that is, corresponding to the actual aircraft you're training for) and "the other bits" (electro-mechanical simulation of the aircraft systems and feeding them back to the pilot) are what make traditional flight sims expensive. There are already commercial computer sims without a lot of those and whatever they gain from having a headset with good tracking they can already get from existing technology that's an order of magnitude cheaper and actually proven. I think you are overselling how important the haptics are to training. Making the hands go to the right spot and go through the correct motions for that particular switch through muscle memory is far more important than your hand recognizing the button it is on through touch. Race car drivers used to talk about how you needed to feel the car through your pants to be able to drive properly but people that have spent a lot of time on racing sims can get great lap times on their first hit out on the real track. Joystick, peddles, throttle and VR combined with a virtual cockpit that can see where you put your hand (Falcon 4.0 aficionados made super detailed virtual cockpits requiring all the right switching just to start the plane over a decade ago) will get you >90% of the way there for a fraction of the cost. Most flight training is just trying to wrote learn the procedure of what to do in a certain situation, not to learn what it feels like to switch a certain style of switch. Single engine out, partial panel failure, one gear stuck down, fire alarm, cabin de-pressurization alarm, route familiarization, type familirisation (a big one because four different types of A320 cockpit is just a menu option in a VR cockpit), etc etc. This is not just to make it cheaper for Southwest (who can get planes made that are easier to train on), but it also puts simulators in reach of regionals and even private flyers. For me AR could really help with trades training. Rebuilding a virtual gearbox/pump/component that is too expensive to have a workshop real spare. Or even a AR gearbox rebuild procedure that automatically identifies the parts through its camera and tell you what to do next. Definitely niche and not a killer app but would make for more stringent control of artisan work. Hell, it might become required in aeronautical as a way to validate a maintenance procedure was carried out right - both takes you through it step by step and inherently records you doing it.

I would argue that it was mostly they came from a time of limited (at least less varied) and non-fresh ingredients as well. Just go to the quieter parts of a developing country and try and cook as varied a menu as is possible in Aus/UK/whatever and a willingness to eat at restaurants to eat something completely different outside your skill set. It is easy to cook an absolutely delicious pasta if you have access to fresh herbs and olive oil. Now do it without olive oil, fresh herbs, cheese or tomatoes (none of these are available outside expensive western styled supermarkets here if at all). Or if you do have everything for pasta (because you live in Bologna), try and do a tasty seafood laksa without fresh seafood, lemon grass, etc. I think people under-appreciate just how much more accessible quality food is compared to even the 80's.

BiggerBoat posted:This is kind of where I'm coming from with it. Total Energies is expecting to convert most of their petrol stations to EV in the next few years in Europe but expects to double the number of petrol stations in its African market over the same timeframe as manufacturing capacity and resources will be priortised toward the green credentials of Western nations. Also remember that (slow) charging at home with an optional extra will reduce the amount of people visiting servos as well. I don't think it is so much an issue for EV light vehicles as it is for truck fleets that will need multi megawatt servos to keep up with truck traffic. A lot of the earliest road networks were laid out for horse and buggy and even if most people walk, a similar network needs to be in place for logistics reasons anyway (in Singapore, Tokyo, etc, a LOT of road traffic is public busses, delivery trucks/vans and taxis).

Chronojam posted:They're explicitly designed to be left laying on the ground in all weather, and run over by cars. Including the connector handle. I think there is a misunderstanding, the charger station itself could have an outdoor rated lead allowed to hang on the ground when in use (and hung in its holder when not) but they are talking about running power out to where the car parks. There is no electrical standard in the world that just lets you run permanently installed cable on the ground. At the very least put it in some cable tray (for ease of maintenance) or bury it to standard so it does not look like arse..

nachos posted:there are hundreds of billions of dollars being invested into what will end up being, at best, a decent technical writing and homework assistant that still requires a human to validate the output Eh, its already delivered on taking most of the grunt work out of language translation. That and automated gore content filtering (as pointed out by another poster) seems like well worth the investment of billions.
