"photos"

What a dumb take (in your quote). Autocompletion showing me all the members of an object is nothing like ChatGPT hallucinating members that don't exist. Autocomplete will show you members you haven't seen, or aren't even documented.

Not to mention they said syntax highlighting is a bad thing... Why use computers at all? Go back to the golden days of punchcards

Doesn't need to be true, just convincing to some suits

Lawyers: "Generating music using a machine learning model trained using real artists' music (without permission) does not violate those artists copyright!"

Therefore

Big Data: "Generating a black box replication of your identity trained on your private personal information and activity (without permission) does not violate your privacy!"

So you're telling me all we have to do is beg the bots in multiple ways not to read the page and only the malicious bots will get away with it? Win - win - win I think

I love the absolute compromise on the placement of that PS5. And each stair step has its own tiny rug?

I'm not a big guy but it still surprises me every time I see how small Rogan is

VBA is horrid and incredibly outdated. I've written c# code that ran identical calculations on data being run through excel at literally over a million times the speed.

A few years ago I conducted an internal months long investigation into Bigo Live and about a dozen remarkably similar apps. They were cookie cutter template apps with slight tweaks to test market trends and engagement, all produced by one single corporate entity: ByteDance. While sharing my findings with the team did result in new child endangerment policies being enacted internally, it is absolutely disgusting to see these apps are still at large, getting worse, and the massive tech company I worked for did essentially nothing to help externally.

EDIT: I should note the content I encountered was not abuse, but very apparent and out in the open grooming, in apps where a user's location would often be shown publicly

This just in: Technology Improves Incrementally Over Time!

This doesn't sound like a great company. Anyone who at this point believes an 'AI' agent can outright replace human labor is not paying attention. 100% just another AI scam

I'm not one of the dual booters mentioned, but the desktop version of Excel specifically has several important features that the online version flat out doesn't support. Primarily I'm talking about creating and running data queries, which is useful for analyzing data and generating reports from remote data sources including external files like CSV and online databases. You can do all this without Excel of course, but this shows the online versions are definitely limited.

Most people saw the facial animations and swore it off before even playing the game. Looking past it's flaws, I always felt it was a fine sequel, though the first game is definitely still the special one.

Correct. Anyone with intention or experience will not be deterred by obscuration. With modern tools and techniques, they will hardly be delayed. Obscuration is not security

Just saw a Bungie job listing on LinkedIn too. Make it make sense. I did apply though

Fair question I should clarify: ByteDance was using a number of LLCs at the time to (my understanding) find the best / most addictive TikTok-style app. I believe TikTok was around at the time but it was called something different. Looking into this briefly again, it seems Bigo isn't directly connected to ByteDance, but the exact style/format of app is apparently being abused by multiple companies across countries now.

Confusing syntax to replace confusing syntax, library dependencies that let you do nothing you couldn't do without them. Generic solutions are always the best for specific problems, right?

We'll simply make a live service game, that way we can keep improving it forever shit on anyone who might have had any faith in it after it's an inevitable failure like almost all other live service games

I handled the virtual paperwork for all leaves of absence at my last job, and there were multiple cases of medical leaves being extended indefinitely. There was something like several months to a year of extended absence before the company would even be allowed to consider firing, and other restrictions over handling medical LOA could make it almost impossible to get in contact with the employee to verify their recovery status.

Should a business be allowed to stop paying for medical coverage they promised to someone who in turn has a medical accident that puts them in a coma? Can the business legally or ethically assume they will never return or provide additional value to the company? Does your business give a shit about ethics?

You could view it as the employee gaming the system or taking advantage of a loophole, but the gray area definitely leaves more than just OP confused about what to do. In the longest case I remember, the reason they were able to stay employed for so long was nothing to do with how the employee was tolerated before leaving. From conversations, I got the impression that management would rather not have them return anyways

Sure, everything except the direct connection between Bigo specifically and ByteDance. Like I said originally, there were numerous apps that I found platforming this behavior, and TikTok's parent company was responsible for most of them. This was several years ago (~5) and I'm going off memory here, so I do apologize for the inconsistency
