It's a motte-and-bailey argument, in fact. The whole purpose of the "skill based hiring" argument is to serve as a comfortable retreat from the more controversial "black people can't fly planes".
The company I work for (we make scientific instruments mostly) has been pushing hard to get us to use AI literally anywhere we can. Every time you talk to IT about a project they come back with 10 proposals for how to add AI to it. It's a nightmare.
I got an email from a supplier today that acknowledged that "76% of CFOs believe AI will be a game-changer, [but] 86% say it still hasn't delivered mean value. Ths issue isn't the technology-it's the foundation it's built on."
Like, come on, no it isn't. The technology is not ready for the kind of applications it's being used for. It makes a half decent search engine alternative, if you're OK with taking care not to trust every word it says it can be quite good at identifying things from descriptions and finding obscure stuf... But otherwise until the hallucination problem is solved it's just not ready for large scale use.
I know the topic at hand is not funny but the image of huge, bouncy, floaty syrofoam buildings being dropped rom the air onto Gaza is very funny to me.
Reddit has so rapidly descended into nothing but bots. Especially on certain subs, for some reason... Even some quite niche ones just seem to be bots talking to each other. Fortunately the only sub I really want to keep my reddit account for is mostly safe, but even there we had some issues.
In some cases I get what's happening - bot post with featuring some kind of obscure product, then buried in the comments you find the bot replies letting people know (apparently organically) where they can buy it - but in other cases like this it just seems pointless. I suppose the idea is to make the profiles seem natural, but they're almost all private anyway.
This seems interesting but I struggle to see how it helps, seems more like its for file sharing. Or is the suggestion that it could form the host side of a web ecosystem, with files for websites hosted in this decentralised way?
Steam/Proton on android would be quite something, I would finally be able to play something decent on my phone that wasn't originally released for the PS2
Drying a dinner plate was how my teacher described turning. Starting with both hands opposite (10/2 or 9/3 would work fine) - push with one hand and slide the other one towards it until they meet at the top, then switch which hand is holding and reverse the motion, so you end up doing both, but you never cross your hands.
No, but isn't there a guy who's just covered in dicks? I'm fairly sure there are folk described who choose to take weirder and wackier shapes, but they kinda live on the fringe of things,
Ahhh brings back memories from my YuGiOh days, sitting in the back of the shop opening extortionately expensive packs and playing game after game. I'd miss it if I didn't now see just how much of a horrible waste of money it was.
But if the average person sends out 1000 applications then the average job gets 1000 applications.
That would be true if there were exactly as many jobs as applicants. In reality I think there are fewer jobs than applicants, so you can already increase the number of applications they recieve quite a bit. Plus, by definition the most popular jobs will have more people applying to them, so the chances are you will be sending an application to all the ones that everyone else is, not the ones that aren't getting them. So while the true average might be lower, the average number of applications to a job you apply for is likely to be even higher.
The Kansas GOP said it was “disgusted” by the comments and that they do not reflect the views of Kansas Republicans, who, it emphasized, “elected a black chair a few months ago.”
Lmao, seriously they're going with "we have black friends, actually"
Supporting Zionism while being actively antisemitic is a handy way for Nazis to encourage jewish people to segregate themselves. Zionism presents a potentially attractive place to go, and then aggressive antisemitism gives them a reason to leave. The two are not so radically opposed.
