I don't generally click on random YouTube videos unless more information is provided, but I give this one a gamble. It was pretty well done and I appreciate the creators overall point and evidence. For anyone else in the comments, I think there are two couple of second long clips of Hank Green that are used to make a larger point about what are essentially attempts at normalizing AI.
You might already be super familiar, but there are a lot of handy ways to arrange text using excel functions. Maybe it's still faster to manually check AI output, as I'm not fully familiar with your use case, but text to column/transpose or the split functions may be of interest. Not trying to suggest I know for sure what a good solution is without seeing the data, but figured I'd offer some suggestions in case manually checking is going to be as arduous as it sounds.
I don't browse Reddit since I switched entirely to Lemmy the day the API migration happened, but I did still reluctantly have to reference reddit on occasion. Now I can't even do that for niche issues I run into. I am so upset that millions of people donated their time and energy into making Reddit the place it was just to have all of that entirely gated off. I know we're likely all in the same boat, but there really are no words for what spez did. He ruined a really great place for community and knowledge and turned it into a slop fest.
That's not a finders fee, it's theft. Most places consider it such in the US at least.
It's decent to return the other stuff, but that doesn't change the fact the money was stolen. If there was no cash would you bother returning the wallet? If not then essentially you're charging the person for the return which doesn't make it an act of kindness. If so then you're just penalizing a person for having cash on hand. Weird how people will rationalize whatever behavior they want to do.
I certainly didn't mean to indicate csuite went to jail or anything, but it's fair to disagree with my classification. I'm not super involved with that sort of thing. Will edit my comment to reflect that so that no one takes away the wrong thing.
Appreciate the wiki link. I kinda just clicked around on site and didn't bother to search elsewhere.
I'm totally open to the idea that higher ups got away with a lot. They tend to, and likely even in this case where people are doing time they still got off way too lightly.
James Baugh, of San Jose, California, who was eBay’s senior director of safety & security, and David Harville, of New York City, who was eBay’s director of global resiliency, are charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses. The other former eBay employees charged are Stephanie Popp, former senior manager of global intelligence; Brian Gilbert, former senior manager of special operations for eBay’s Global Security Team; Stephanie Stockwell, former manager of eBay’s Global Intelligence Center; and Veronica Zea, a former eBay contractor who worked as an intelligence analyst in the Global Intelligence Center.
from a hyperlinked article
Seems like senior managers and directors. I don't think these are fall guys. They seem like they were personally responsible for these things. I know corpo speak invents fancy job titles, but I don't think it's a situation where someone's personal assistant is being used as a scapegoat. These people should have known better and had other options. I did see that one upper exec had to pay but I didn't see any outline for what exactly they were charged with. I wish the articles did a better job of going into the details of punishments vs charges but I was just pointing out that actual time is being done since the title doesn't mention it.
Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing — the owner of the 330 MW AI data center
Lawyer heading the project:
Sebastian Rucci
From a different article linked below:
Rucci has so far sued government officials, the local utility, an activist and a public television station over the dispute. Several of those legal claims have recently been dismissed.
Prior to joining the data center push in Southern California, Rucci was charged, though not convicted, of money laundering and promoting prostitution in relation to his former Ohio cabaret; he ended up serving 30 days in jail for selling beer without a license. Rucci was not charged in the rehab center case, which prosecutors said focused on Medicaid billing issues.
“Just give me my damn data center,” he told the Journal.
Most of the defendants pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy and cyberstalking and were later sentenced to prison terms or home confinement.
The above includes several management and director positions. Glad individuals are being held responsible. Hope they are radioactive to companies going forward. As pointed out below, execs at the highest level are not doing time for this though.
Though I think the corpo dems are evil and definitely know what they're doing, I really can't agree that they're more at fault than the people actually doing the outright fascism. If the Rs actually kept to their original stances on Trump where most of them openly admitted he was going to ruin our country we would be in a different position too. Also, let's not act like the R voters are innocent little babies or anything. They knew a lot of terrible things were going to happen and they didn't care. I personally brought up gay rights and abortion issues to a more socially liberal R and they flat out said they think the most important thing is "getting rid of fraud" (because they think their taxes are too high). If you're willing to sacrifice rights of others because of imaginary (or real) fraud, you deserve whatever happens.
There's really no guarantee that people are using their real name and photo in most cases. People tying their presence to their work or something is different, but I generally never assume I'm talking to the person being presented to me. Some people also just don't care, don't realize there could be consequences, or they signed up when the internet was a different place (thinking twitter would be more like Facebook or MySpace where it might make some sense to use your real name).
This is my take as well. I will add that I think I'm more likely to notice an issue with the type if the type is first though since it preps me to expect a certain thing after it.
int firstName will likely trigger more alarms than firstName int but maybe thats just my perception due to familiarity. I feel like once I see the type my mind is looking to make the next part make sense whereas if I see the name first then I just assume what comes next makes sense and mentally move on.
Maybe there's some geographical or cultural differences, but I can say for sure that hobbies is a perfectly normal place to meet women in my area of the US. I have dated plenty of people I've met through hobbies.
Also I think there's a difference between picking up a woman at a gym vs picking them up at a running or biking meetup. I think just like with anything else, there are inappropriate ways to do it, but it's not socially unacceptable from my understanding whereas gym pickups really are.
If you're choosing to do or not do something with someone because of their sex/gender it's sexist. Simple as that. I don't care if those beliefs are due to religion or not.
I know people who don't pay and do ok on the apps. I don't know if it's your area or your profile, but maybe try to get some feedback from women irl or online if you haven't already. I know a lot of millennial women got off the apps a bit back, so that might also be a factor.
I'm terrified of becoming an internet post now if I approach someone.
For what it's worth, I've generally only seen this sentiment from people who don't know how to behave around women. Maybe you're an exception, but most normal guys I know don't have an issue with that. They may be nervous to approach, but never out of fear of being lambasted online. If this is a real concern for you, I'd suggest reading some of these posts and just not behaving in the way they have an issue with.
I know Hollywood is its own thing, but it's so strange to see a movie advertising Depp in it. He seems impossible to work with and after the whole trial I can't imagine it being great for audience good will. Is there really no other actor they could have gone with?
That's a great plan until it's not. If you're able to, I'd highly recommend looking into getting Obamacare if you can't get insurance through an employer due to being a contractor. I don't know your personal situation, but Obamacare plans are often more reasonable than people imagine.
Though I totally agree that triage is important, you can absolutely be left waiting for more than an hour with an emergency. It's just not as pressing of an emergency as other people. There's plenty that an urgent care can't do for you that requires an ER but that is not life threatening within the next few hours.
“Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk – I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”
The whole article is filled with gems like this and the exact right length for this sort of human interest piece about someone who is just trash.
During a cost of living crisis this guy drops 100k+ on something no one asked for and complains that people are cheap.
I get that people do own statues, but who exactly did he think was going to buy this? Anyone stupid enough to like this either in content or execution is too stupid to have the money to spend on it. Anyone rich enough to afford it could spend their money on things they actually like and don't just pretend to. Not that intelligence and wealth appear to have anything to do with each other at this point, but this guy clearly doesn't understand the way things work.
