I work in IT for a Fortune 500 org.

We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.

Is an algorithm not a formula?

Is it really any different than when the formula did it?

When Apple launched their credit card it was super biased against applicants with female names. They blamed it on the formula.

Ai is just the newest fancy word for programming.

Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping

I used to travel a lot for work and needed deliveries on specific days. Amazon guaranteed delivery days were crap.

I know a guy who actually got an official response from Amazon about that. Their response was “We guarantee 2 day shipping once the items are shipped. We may not start shipping for a day or two depending on how busy we are.”

The fact they’re still running on dos is a clue that either they can’t figure out how to upgrade or they don’t want to upgrade or they simply won’t allocate the budget to upgrade.

It generally boils down to money. Shops like that are toxic. They somehow don’t have the budget to keep their business afloat, means you’re not getting a raise.

If you take this job, you’re obsolete. Getting the next job will be tough. You’re interview at the next potential role what did you do at your current role? I ran dos on 30 year old machines. Interviewer: I’m sorry, but we need someone with experience in Windows ME.

Delta is primarily an Airbus fleet. They do not currently fly any 737 MAX planes, though they have ordered 100 Max 10s for delivery starting in 2025.

I’ll assume they’re being pressured into it by the significant fuel savings the max offers over their current fleet.

Or, if are willing to fly any of the big 3’s regional brands it’ll be on a regional jet which Boeing doesn’t make. Generally those are made by Bombardier or less commonly Embraer. Though, bigger plane means smoother flight.

The article talked a lot about school buses in rural areas. Mass Transit isn’t a thing in most rural areas.

In urban cities, yes that’s a feasible idea. Most people in the USA live in places where mass transit isn’t feasible.

We are a nation of car drivers who bought into the dream of having a house on a large lot in the suburbs. Mass Transit exists, but in the burb it’s generally a parking lot where you take a bus to your job downtown.

I’m literally not buying a Tesla because he’s a douchbag.

When I see a Tesla on the road I assume they are a Musk fan boy. There’s no prestige in that brand. There are a lot of us that assume that.

So now you can get 5.1G or 4.9G?

I’m more worried about it going into another skyscraper.

A decade ago, my pilot friend informed me that after 4 years of college, starting pay was $18,000 a year. After a year of experience suddenly you’re making 4 times that. Not a lot of people can afford to make that measley income for a year. It’s not a sustainable way to recruit talent.

Then there’s the issue is being on call when you’re the lowest seniority in you’re position where they can call you anytime a pilot calls in sick and you have to be at the airport in 30 minutes.

You can make a lot of money, but there’s a lot of bullshit to deal with at the start of your career.

Which is apparently what the average consider wants or at least expects.

Last I heard biometrics were not protected. As in you have to unlock your phone upon request. A code, pattern or other thing you know was treated differently from using your body to unlock your phone.

How do you know that meta hasn’t created an account on a popular well federated server and it’s using those credentials to scrape the fetiverse?

You have to assume whatever your post to the Internet is available to anyone and everyone connected. Why would federated servers be and different.

They don’t need your DNA to connect you to solve a cold case. They determine we shares tiny chunks of DNA with a sample from a crime. With that, they find the family tree of the known person and can often determine who the guilty party is.

As in they know the suspect shares a paternal great grandfather with this person and a maternal great great grandmother with that person so we know it’s one of these people. Then the police collect trash to find who from the limited pool the crime DNA belongs to.

If this were a small country, yes that is what would happen. In the second most populous country, I suspect that’s too huge of a market to just accept as a loss.

Once a customer leaves the apple ecosystem they’re unlikely to return to it. So they would lose those customers forever.

I do that manually. In about 1 out of 10, what looks like tracking stuff is actually needed for the link to work. So I’d expect that copy without site tracking option to not work 100% of the time.

It is, but the dishwasher has to have a water heater in it. It has to heat water to a temp that you shouldn’t keep you got water tank at and heats throughout the cycle.

Your clothes washer (generally) also has a built in water heater.

But what is profits don’t go up that same 3.5%?

If the company isn’t growing at the rate of inflation and they have to pay the workers more, they have to cut something to grant that pay increase.

So, I’d ask do you want layoffs for some and the cost of living increase for the rest or no raise?

How does Monsanto avoid this?

They sell you seeds. You can grow things with those seeds, but you cant plant the grown plants’ seeds.
