If you write apps integrating with MS Teams you still sometimes get exceptions mentioning Skype. I'm pretty sure they reused a decent part of the code

Yeah, she didn't really address fraud comparisons. Went straight to sexism. Both can be true, and if you are a CEO of a medical company you should be ready to prove your shit works.

Preempting all the "he was a man of his time" apologists:

Columbus was arrested during his lifetime because his actions were considered awful by his contemporaries.

Remember when Ferrari was a technological pioneer rather than gimmick manufacturer.

If you want to know what an electric sports car should be like look at Rimac.

tbh, up to 80 years ago Europeans were in constant war as well and nobody else drew their borders
EU had to be created to finally stop French and Germans from killing each other

If I was in Embraer leadership I'd be scrambling to design a jet in the 737 class right now. It's just one step up from what they already make.
Embraer is already popular with US regional airlines and would be more acceptable in the US market than Comac.

Google suspends Gemini from making AI images of people after a backlash complaining it was 'woke' (www.businessinsider.com)

Google suspends Gemini from making AI images of people after a backlash complaining it was 'woke'::After users complained Google's Gemini had gone "woke," the company said it will pause the image-generating feature of people while working on fixes.

flamingo_pinyata ,

Actually Google made a huge success by training an AI to ignore personal characteristics like skin color or gender when generating images. It uses a "generic human average", and that's awesome!
Normally models like these replicate categorization by (racial/gender) categories of the society it created them.

Gemini completely misses categorization by these features. Of course it also loses the contemporary context, because the concepts of race & gender still impacts most of humanity.

But for what it is it's a huge success.

AI filtering has the promise of selecting good candidates very efficiently, due to pattern recognition on a level not immediately obvious to humans. Unfortunately no company is going to train their own hiring models, and good ones don't exist on the market. Everyone vaguely competent is chasing LLMs and image generation. Specialized, focused models are almost forgotten in the hype.

So they just go with a commercial "enterprise" tool which are as we all know utter shite. HR AI tools are even worse than your typical fake "AI".

flamingo_pinyata ,

From the perspective of the decision maker it does "work". It rejects a % of candidates in such a way they can pretend it's objective rather than random. Imho, just randomly selecting 100 out of 2000 for human review would actually be more fair and give better results.

While most zodiac signs are inspired by real animals, wtf is an "aquarius"?

Dorsey created one immensely popular social platform, sold it for a huge sum, let the new owner ruin it and then created the same thing again.

An actual real world case of "have your cake and eat it too".
Respect where it's due.

After reading the whole article - wow that was one sophisticated scam.

Deepfake was only one part of it, scammers impersonated multiple people on video, chat and email to create a believable story. It was apparently not too out of line with the normal company processes, which makes it extra scary (and likely helped by someone on the inside)

flamingo_pinyata ,

In which cases is this actually useful, as opposed to having a centralized database?
Blockchain doesn't provide the enforcement of ownership, which is the real problem.

I wonder if Jesus can drive on water

Was it ever anything else? 4 years ago it was already a wrapped webapp.

    There was also a certain level of "denial of talent" competition among the tech giants. Hire any vaguely competent people event if practically useless so the competition doesn't get them. It works only if you have infinite money (as in 0 interest rates) which is not the case any more.

    flamingo_pinyata ,

    Don't know about his linguistic work. As much as I can gather, even if not 100% correct he was hugely influential in linguistics. This is a how (good) science usually works. Someone postulates a theory which tries to explain a thing, and is then proven and/or disproven. If well done it stays important even if disproven.

    However his politics? It's a barely coherent mess with only one basic postulate - "America bad". Anything that US does is automatically bad. Anything that any enemy of US does is automatically good. Turns out to be correct sometimes but there is no true moral and philosophical underpinning to it. He build his political career on the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" principle.

    Garmin is know for excellent battery life. I don't think they use e-ink though.

    A much bigger drawback (to me at least) they lack Google Pay support and keep pushing Garmin Pay which is not widely supported.

    flamingo_pinyata ,

    The difference is in the bank support. All contactless terminals support all NFC payment providers. But banks don't. Each bank chooses with which services to integrate, and this part is not standardized so it requires some investment on the bank side.

    Anti-antism

    Jesus also spent some time in jail.

    If you use 72% of a cross is it still a crucifiction? That's like both arms and one foot nailed.

    We already have fully automatic coffee machines - and they make shit coffee. Adding a robotic arm will not help because it's not about mechanical control it's about getting the process right and consistently repeatable. And that can be done without AI if anyone wanted to invest enough money.

    flamingo_pinyata ,

    Experienced humans know all the variables - roast levels, grind size, water temperature, slight differences in timing depending on exact coffee in question... And more importantly they can apply them intuitively without mentally processing each variable separately.

    Machines could do all that but such a machine would need good programming (expensive) and a lot of sensors (expensive).

    Yes Henrys are English but Henris are French
