A bit of the selling point for the chromebooks is that it can run a lot of stuff from the playstore. Why called it a cousin.
While posible, don't forget about the pixel series, Google dipped into hardware. So at least for a good bit they are going to stay the course. Chromebooks are a cousin of android and is something I bet they have support contracts via education for years to come.
Though it's Google so it's posible
They were working on it for patches and such. Plus they are probably starting the "next big thing" and having your dev team leave kinda hurts that xp
It kinda understands context.
An image generator makes an image of static similar to like a TV does with bad signal. The Ai looks atthe static and sees shapes in it. The prompt influences what it's trying to "see". It starts filling in the static to a full image, it does this in steps, more steps generally means a better quality image.
Also to say a LLM is a Large Language Model and is different from an image generator, though the proccess for them is very similar.
Confused on how letting someone else use your water can be illegal.
To answer for anyone wants to know.
- No, not a spin off or creation of openai the creator of chatgpt
- site was created in April of 2023
The insurance generally doesn't kick in unless its 100k plus. It is "planned" for that a certain amount of theft and such will happen,
As for getting sued, meh, merchant rights protect doing reasonable things. Issue comes up when someone "thinks" someone stole and does shit without thinking. Generally All the stores don't want to have any type of liability with anyone getting hurt so no touching and/or heavy interacting is in policy
Moving to block somebody’s path That I would agree with on being an escalation.
I have seen a lot of times by just there being a few people around giving the we know and we can see you can make someone ditch all the stuff and (some times) cuss out everyone as they leave.
I will admit that I would not advise the technique when it looks like someone is going to be very bold and just walk out with items "clearly" stealing (the cable on it still) and the OP story kinda shows why
Then again anytime I am around a shoplifter doing something like that being very aware of how they are moving or doing is important. Ill do my job but fuck getting hurt for the stuff, nothing in any store is worth it.
Ish on the deter by being there. I can't speak for all companies but the major one I work for would have you act as just a visible deterance by just standing there. The grabbing the cable and stuff would be what would be "to far"
Still slippery even legal. It can stay in the system for a bit so someone working "high" is a factor
It would solve so many problems though just have it legal and controled
It probably links to it being illigal at the federal level still so ada would have to be sly about it.
Got to think about those poor business if they have to pay a nickel more for labor they would be broke
Joking aside, minuim wage is a hot issue. One side fully believes that minuim wage is in fact a bad thing and shouldn't exist. So for them putting a bill out that auto raises it would be counter productive to their interests business being able to hire with supply demand
More then Likely the overall average is hitting that. not really going to argue that. I have been at and looked at metrics for individual stores that have been 4.2,4.5, and one that was a 6% (their was a bit of restructuring that happened after that). I will state that those percentages were lost item numbers that could be accounted with other things other then theft.
The store thats in a "nicer" area and the one that has is in a really bad 1 can even out so the number is low. but the bad store can have really high numbers, numbers that can be worse as it goes through. Also keep in mind that the overall theft % has stayed "constant" by the link you gave, and thats with the annoying glass cases and other such being used to try to lower shrink. better measures are needed as time passes. A case an area cost 6k to order for the area I was in, and the store chose to put it there. or the ones that are paying for off duty officers to help. If they didnt work the stores wouldnt use them (and yes that does happen, a security set for a store got canceled because the numbers didnt change after 5 months)
I would rate it as a concern. Probably not "HUGE" concern but it is impacting thing.
I work loss prevention, so I have a slight bias. But I also see how often and to the volume that it is. There are individuals I have helped with that are linked to 6 digit worth of stuff (and then of course money theft but that's a different ball game).
Yes if a company has 30,000,000 in sales, theft seems less a problem until it gets multipld out hundreds of times a 1,500,000 of saleable items being stolen can and is something that happens with the current security stuff. And while that is 1/20 the of the sales that 30 mill is before paying for the product, utilities and salary.
Profit is still there but it is getting harder to hold that profit and new ways to loose/new scams pop up all the time
The problem Is real but this solution seems very bs
I'm guessing a local store thing. That is one line that I have never heard Walmart claim and I have worked for a lot of different stores
To add on what others of said.
Part of its being able to stick it anywhere and a lot of things are built with the human body/arms in mind (not boxes obviously).
Do something stupid simple like getting grocery carts, it can have a hand that would be good enough or build a special gripper/mover that can have problems if some things change
The issue is more generation is leaned on the less powerful it becomes. To create those stores that you were reading in books it was fed lots of other fantasy and game information, as more of its used the less 'new' stuff it can make.
Yes, very useful tool. Not something that can be just thrown in. Has to be part of the system almost from start so that the appropriate ations and and text can be linked (unless it's reading through save state and or is how the save state is read but that also had to be thought of early)
However, also not exactly what I ment. For instance years ago on doing a replay of Zelda oot left for about a week midday through the water temple. I could not figure out where I was in the puzzle for some time and ended up reseting as much as I could to just re walk through as much as I could. Somethings can't be pre script written out due to unknown changes or capture what the user thought process is
I am not a huge fan of the "shrine" approach where everything is bite size but that seems to be the idea to make it easer for on the go. If you only have 15ish min of play what's more enjoyable? Catching up what you did and trying to figure out what's everything like since you last did things or knowing that this thing here is or needs to be done in front of me and I can continue.
"streamlining" is definitely happening. A lot is to just keep that serotonin going with happy rewards.
1 person I was talking to mentioned it might also be a change because of target. Zelda botw/totk was ment to be played in short burst while on train or a quick shrine or so before bed. Thus the bigger puzzles and things that requires a longer play (to avoid the wtf what is happening when I played yesterday question) are being phased down
