It’s an interesting thing to consider. If someone lies all the time, is it inconsistent to distrust the positive things they say but take the bad at face value?

Washington Mutual didn’t get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.

Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn’t English.

If you haven’t, check out Combined Arms. It is an OpenRA mod that brings in a lot of units and design from RA2, Generals, and C&C3.

Yeah… That reads as them being ordered to guard the convoys, not bomb them at a whim.

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.

There are various methods, but from a practical standpoint it is gone regardless.

They are trans.

People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.

There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.

Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.

They have two avenues to make money:

1. Sell commercial services such as customer support bots. They get customers thanks to the massive buzz their free services generated.
2. Milking investors, the real way to make money.

Generative AI doesn’t get any training in use. The explosion in public AI offerings falls into three categories:

1. Saves the company labor by replacing support staff
2. Used to entice users by offering features competitors lack (or as catch-up after competitors have added it for this reason)
3. Because AI is the current hot thing that gets investors excited

To make a good model you need two things:

1. Clean data that is tagged in a way that allows you to grade model performance
2. Lots of it

User data might meet need 2, but it fails at need 1. Running random data through neural networks to make it more exploitable (more accurate interest extraction, etc) makes sense, but training on that data doesn’t.

This is clearly demonstrated by Google’s search AI, which learned lots of useful info from Reddit but also learned absurd lies with the same weight. Not just overtuned-for-confidence lies, straight up glue-the-cheese-on lies.

The article seems to have misunderstood the stats that he provided.

He was showing crashes of a single component of Nvidia drivers while running Warframe. Any crashes within Warframe proper aren’t included.

It still demonstrates that a CPU flaw is causing stability issues in areas that are rock-solid for everyone else.

Warhammer or Gears of War?

I can only think of one TPS currently released (another on the way) in the Warhammer series. It’s more known for strategy and tactics games.

Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give ‘goals’ to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn’t ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.

Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn’t agree to became commonplace.

Probably. She was not found guilty of lying about her reason for selling the stock in question, though she was found guilty of obstruction and other lies, along with conspiracy.

She was never charged with insider trading, so if she hadn’t lied, she would likely have been fine.

Interestingly, they also charged her with securities fraud. They argued that, as the face of a publicly traded company, covering up a crime was market manipulation even if it had nothing to do with that company. The judge dismissed that charge.

No. She went to jail for lying to the feds.

Her financial manager was suspected of insider trading. The FBI questioned her about it and she lied to them in an attempt to protect him.

That’s exactly what it is. Firefox’s advanced tracking protection blocks connections to social media sites from other sites so that social media can’t see your behavior on the rest of the Internet.

Twitter started moving some things to a different domain and FF saw it as a third-party, blocking connections from it to the old Twitter domains.

Yet another reason the rebrand is dumb.

The regulatory agency is pretty large, but it’s headed by a 5-member commission.

Have you ever heard big cats? They sound like little cats but… deeper. I feel like dinosaurs would sound like birds with similar deepening, depending on the size of the dino.
