They eat mold afaik. So if you see them, you know there’s a source of humidity/mold you ought to check out.

Layoffs of managers.

Edit: had problems with opening your link, replying to your linked comment now…

If a SW dev applicant gives a 20-file generated output for a 20-line assessment problem and can’t explain single lines of “their” code, either what they should be doing or why “they” had written it, it’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. A standard problem might have different solutions, but fixing the issue of the day to the satisfaction of a rabidly vocal customer base might have one at most, and it will change multiple times on a whim.

So the LLM might have helped them cheat their way to an MSc, but there’s no cheating your way through real life.

Conversely, being forced to use Excel with Copilot is the traditional punishment for unwarrantedly flogging somebody (you need to get consent first, mmkay?).

Came here for this. We had Project Chanology in my day. As long as there’s Scientology, the youth will continue to milk them for lulz.

Not that I am one, but I believe true libertarians should be rabidly pro anti-trust legislation, letting corporations fail, and a 100% inheritance tax above a threshold.

This is a huge fucking problem, one that’s about 100x as severe if you’re hearing this happen the first time.

While fighting forces normally have their advantages/disadvantages compared to their opponents, food abundance or scarcity can make a strategic difference. See the psychological effect of the USN ice cream ship in WW2, listen to Ryan McBeth comparing his rations to what his Egyptian comrades called “army meat”…

Hell, in my own personal experience in Basic Training (had an award-winning kitchen) vs NCO school (food supply didn’t work out, had to bring your own breakfast before the march), basic supply can be the difference between enthusiastic service and a refusal to train. And this was the same unit.

The magnitude of the US’ fuckup in this war (the whole war tbh) has still not become fully perceivable. History books will be talking about this in the tone of “as devastating Vietnam was for US foreign policy, the coffin nails hammered in in 2026 became the harbingers of the US empire’s accellerated fall”… or sth like that.

On your tangent: it’s easy. All the “true” opposition were united against Fidesz, and only vote-sucking Fidesz-collaborationists were running additionally.

The FPTP system put in place 16 years ago demanded this. Hungary will do better after a long overdue electoral reform.

I still get flashbacks…

I assess it’s engagement bait. Our having read much of it, despite none of it having any discernable value at all, was apparently the point. I can’t see this drivel passing any first inspection by peers in the field…

Looks like a whole bunch of nonsense by and for people with no understanding of the purpose or even the structure of academic research. The author is a “Bachelor of Business Administration” with an apparent penchant for arcane scientific-sounding babble.

Read any proper publication, and you’ll see every word and thought thoroughly explained or reduced to common (if perhaps field-specific) knowledge. The abstract is short enough to give a cursory overview, and doesn’t dump a page’s worth of the author’s favourite sciency-sounding words and symbols.

Here’s an example (supposed to be without a paywall): https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3641399.3641443

Note the format, length, and wording of the abstract, the authors’ credentials (both field-relevant and at least graduate-level), the conciseness of the discussion, etc.

Compare this to Watanabe’s efforts to convince you (and whoever else reads his stuff) that he’s smart. Very, very smart. Way smarter than you. Way smarter than the people who don’t realise his smartness. The least he expects of you is unearned respect, but I’m willing to bet he’s monetising this.

If this was the 00s, he’d probably have one of these websites (PSA: don’t download or install anything):
