Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.

Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.

Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.

CBS and Comedy Central are both Paramount.

They did vote to restrict access to the Measels/Mumps/Rubella vaccine for children under 4. Monsters.

For those who don’t know, that vaccine is the origin of the modern anti-vaccine movement. A company marketing stand-alone vaccines was mad that somebody made a combo vaccine, making theirs unmarketable, so they funded fraudulent studies to block it.

There is a lovely Skyrim Tarot deck. A bit outside your range there, but I saw it lower elsewhere.

They aren’t disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.

It did to me too until I zoomed in.

My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.

Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

2 is very weird. It’s an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

If it was an electrical issue, they wouldn’t have been able to just turn them back on, which one of the pilots did.

The two switches were moved to off sequentially with the right amount of gap for a human doing it quickly. One of the pilots then questioned why they were off, and they were then both turned back on individually a short time later.

The possibility the FAA was investigating was whether the latches on the switches may not work, allowing them to be moved unintentionally. This was unlikely due to the timing, but they still had to eliminate it.

Yes. Nothing is truly incompressible. The speed of sound can be viewed as a measure of how much a material can squish on the atomic level before the next atoms move.

They are blind, not obtuse. Norton ≠ Notion.

Isn’t he out of contention since he has already reproduced?

The problems start if it can take on a lot of the junior work. If nobody can enter the industry, nobody can get the experience required to do the real engineering.

Open-source and personal work may be the only way to enter the programming field in the next decade.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

JWO hasn’t shut down. The system got polished enough for them to sell it to other companies, so they don’t need their own test-platform locations anymore.

JWO and similar systems do not reduce labor. The people working cashier become customer service attendants. These systems are valuable when the issue is throughput and sales are being lost at peak times. Airport convenience stores and stadium concession stands, for example, can get significantly higher revenue for the same footprint.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

And a 3! (Extreme Stunts)

I remember both fondly. I should spoil that memory some day…

It has very little gameplay. It’s a few mini games spread across a janky early-3D scene.

Lego Island 2 is much more game.

He quit his second job by not showing up.

A guy living in an oligarchs mansion in Vegas was appointed director of 2 federal law enforcement agencies.

A drop shadow implies that the object is floating above a plane. If you have an object floating above a plane, it would need to drop to the plane to interact with it, so the interaction point should be the tip of the shadow, not the tip of the cursor.

This was comments, not posts. They were using a model to approximate the demographics of a poster, then using an LLM to generate a response counter to the posted view tailored to the demographics of the poster.
