jj4211 , to world in For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st

Nice… Wait a minute…

Yeah, that’s a grandmother, so what?

Just have a bookshelf behind you during the interview, you’ll be golden.

Or maybe have the oval office as a backdrop, that might really make you qualified.

jj4211 , to news in New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves

It’s a matter of scale, that physical activity moves energy usage maybe 10 to 15 % during the exercise compared to sitting still. However, there’s a lot of reasons to exercise for the sake of your pancreas and heart.

Besides, 84% of weight lost is by breathing it out, so not technically the bathroom.

While true, exercise is very important. For example if you are sedentary then that visceral fat screwing up your pancreas is extra risky because you also build up insulin resistance.

Even if they don’t lose that much weight, it at least mitigates some of the risks increased by being overweight.

the stuff you’re asking for doesn’t work that well, but this does

I didn’t think that this works. The examples where people claim “is just like this” I don’t see as being like this.

The ones that work are ones that have some relation to their cause. Forcing everyone to really think about an issue Inherent to the act. For example, going about and doing this to parked private jets, which they did.

Just doing anything to get attention isn’t useful if there’s no Inherent message in the act itself. Especially with climate where everyone already has awareness, just not action.

Being merely loud is not going to sway hearts and minds in your favor.

Also there’s no way it would toss “origin: ru” in there and only that. It’s way too convenient to have those three pieces of data and only those.

I think it was a joke and a lot of people ate the onion.

jj4211 , to technology in GenAI more buzz than biz as tech barely dents jobs

That’s been my experience so far, that it’s largely useless for knowledge based stuff.

In programming, you can have it take “pseducode” and have it output actionable code for more tedious languages, but you have to audit it. Ultimately I find traditional autocompletion just as useful.

I definitely see how it helps cheat on homework, and extends “stock photography” to the point of really limiting the market for me photography or artists for bland business assets though.

I see how people find it useful for their “professional” communications, but I hate it because people that used to be nice and to the point are staying to explode their communication into a big LLM mess.

It’s interesting, when you ask a LLM something that it doesn’t know, it will tend to just spew out words that sound like they make sense, but are wrong.

So it’s much more useful to have a human that will admit that they don’t have a response for it. Or the human acts like the LLM spewing stupid stuff that sounds right and gets promoted instead.

jj4211 , to technology in Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”

So much the better, as far as those executives are concerned.

Let’s say you want to cut costs and you know you have momentum and a long lag where your total incompetence won’t make a difference to business results in the short term, so cut costs by getting rid of the top talent.

Now if they outright just fire every good person, well that looks obviously stupid, but if those good people just… up and quit… well they are hardly to blame, and don’t have to pay out those massive severances. You get your annual bonus which is big, and your big restricted stock payday might be delayed two years, but they know, realistically, they can probably coast a good 3 or 4 years before the game is up. Or if you have a supremely strong ‘business brand’, you might be able to coast indefinitely as the big shots will never believe that brand isn’t good anymore.

jj4211 , to news in Trump Says Foreigners Who Graduate From US Colleges Should Get Green Cards

We have a young person here on student visa and he’s struggling to get a more persistent arrangement and thinks he may have to move back next year when his visa is done. He’s hoping for an h1b, but that’s a lottery… If there’s something he’s missing, it’d be good to know.

jj4211 , to world in Putin warns South Korea: Sending killer weapons to Ukraine would be a ‘big mistake’

Agreed, WW2 scale became crazy because Japan and Germany were just allowed to conquer so much so fast before a meaningful response. Russia is being held to a much tighter theater from the onset.

jj4211 , to technology in Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2

I have found my headset useful for work, when working from home and I don’t do camera on meetings anyway.

At home it’s pretty nice, and since my ears are open I can actually talk, so my wife actually prefers it over me wearing headphones. But all things in moderation, I wouldn’t wear it constantly.

Despite being a huge fan of the concept, I still couldn’t go for Apple’s headset, it’s heavy, it’s expensive, and lack of controllers are all deal breakers. The Quest 3 is lighter, has good controllers, and is more affordable. It may not have the displays as nice as Vision, but that doesn’t make up for the rest of the stuff.

jj4211 , to technology in SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Finds

My family has Starlink, they live in mountainous rural. Cell towers aren’t too far away, but mountains get in the way of decent signal. No one is running any cables their way, despite a local telco taking money explicitly for providing internet service.

I presume the facial recognition would be trying to match against faces without the makeup.

If you always use the same makeup pattern, then I guess it can latch onto that like anything else, if trained to do so.

Also note that facial recognition tries to break down a face into discrete “pieces” so it can match a face in profile against the same face from the front. In your example the image is visually similar because they are both exactly the same angle, no ‘facial recognition’ involved. If it can’t figure out what a cheekbone is, what a nose is, generally what a ‘face’ is, then that would count as fouling the facial recognition because it would be unable to use a reference facial database.
