But my company hasn’t had their mandatory all-employee multi day AI training from contractors yet!

My partner has used a YNM weighted blanket for a few years. I’m not sure which material it is (they seem to offer bamboo, poly, linen, and others).

That might still qualify as faceless alphabet soup though.

The article didn’t say; has someone (Apple) verified the exploit? The “aren’t many details” caveat puts me on the lookout for hallucinated exploits.

Is your goal financial return, or promoting an environmental / energy efficient future? Both? I think people usually mean the former when they say “invest” but it might mean either.

If it fits your goals, looking for a community solar or municipal energy plan with a green/local option can provide additionality, and ‘less climate catastrophe’ / ‘more energy independence’ are kinds of return on investment I value.

Though I’d also like my retirement funds to be supporting / depending on value from non fossil fuel.

Someone broke into my garage and stole my limbo bar!

I didn’t know anyone could go that low.

I think your argument depends on rational leadership with a horizon more than a couple years out and grounded in tangible value delivered.

My read of the situation is that leadership is motivated by short term gains and FOMO, and a substantial part of the US economy is disguised garbage production, so replacing many jobs with AI will increase profits without obviously damaging corporations for a couple years.

Pause Point flips that idea on its head, as it interrupts the app’s launch — and the dopamine flood that follows — to force you to stop and rethink whether this is what you actually want to do, or is just a habit you’d like to break.

Actually sounds useful.

But we also sell an app to remind you to take a screen break and attend Mandatory Fun Time!

Similarly I had a professor who was fond of calling people out for hacking when they were just trying random stuff until something turned — as opposed to programming.

There are a lot of shoulders to look over and a lot of not-programming to disapprove of around.

Seems to be making a lot out of “you send your user agent and screen resolution”.

Fun that the pitch drop is still running and will be for many years. But, given the headline, not much about current physics research in the article.

eliminating the hydraulic system entirely and relying instead purely on electronic brake-by-wire and electric motors.

The announcement was light on details about both the system itself and how its fail-safes are implemented

So… It uses electricity? Sounds like something that will be interesting to read about when they are ready to provide any details.

I would actually be happy to see git commit tracking of AI involvement, so I can see which part of pull requests to take seriously.

Wait, there’s no breakdown by manufacturer / battery generation? This doesn’t seem like news.

Wrong community + clickbait title without any real info = downvote.

On the upside, waiting for those cheap cheap secondhand GPUs?

A paid, non working, in-the-press employee body is more of a drain on business than an absent one, I bet.

We need a lot more of them to join https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/ .

The biggest action I know of was the Women’s walkout in 2018, about 20k employees. But, no persistent action and no escalation, so no real result.

Companies often go to recruiting events / job fairs, where you can talk to a recruiter (or sometimes an engineer) for a couple minutes and make an impression.
