>> Please email me [...] it will help us prevent poor customer experiences.

He's literally trying to do exactly that (and acknowledged the customer is pissed and likely can't be bothered to).

How would you hande this situation?

Not the hypothetical "I'd never let this happen", because if you haven't given at least someone a bad customer experience, you didn't have customers.
Glad to hear that! Best of luck! If that ever happens and you remember this message, DM me. I'll throw some cash your way :)
Im pretty sure the acquisition was mentioned already a few months back
Unfortunately, not even that.

There was 1 agency that did send back a "sorry not sorry" over a job that was admittedly a stretch.

But aside that singular, nope. They're worse than normal companies in ghosting.
How do you come to that conclusion? To the best of my understanding it was at least 3 things:

- strange choice of going through complex weather (somehow foreseen)

- failure (icing iirc) of the pitot airspeed sensors, raising multiple failures in the cockpit, and disengaging autopilot and putting the aircraft in a more hands-on (I'm not using the proper terms, there should be 'law' or 'envelope' somewhere) leading to a loss of trust of the crew in the cockpit. To me that was the linchpin, automation-exit failure.

- combined (sum of) commands from the pilot and copilot. They should have tried gaining speed (repetitive stall warnings) but the copilot was (in panic) trying to gain altitude while the pilot was putting the nose down. They both thought the aircraft wasn't answering their command.

- lack of crew communication. The 1st pilot was off in cabin, leaving his two cockpit crew without a clear chain of command, and the 2 remaining crew never talked about steps they were taking.

How do you square it was a cultural issue? Genuinely curious, as I make a point of sending the transcript to all the happy 'autopilot the low hanging fruit and let the human handle the special cases' dreamers I meet :-)
Sorry, "because Republicans" isn't a response. Read Title 21, Chapter 2, Article 7 of the Georgia Code and tell me how Fulton County's inability to conduct elections properly as it is required and empowered to do under the statute is somehow someone else's fault.
Creative industries are on the cusp of a massive upset.

Relatively soon, there will be commercial models of this quality for music/code/text/speech/images/3d models etc.

Once these AI generated assets flow like water into the hands of creators, it will significantly change the way people work.

I'm sure some people in this thread have had a taste of this working with Copilot. For me, it's most useful as an un-sticking tool, to get me moving again, or providing half remembered syntax for a language I don't use as frequently.

There's no reason to expect that similar use cases won't make their way into other industries.

- Rapid prototypes of models/textures for video games.

- Quick and easy samples for musicians.

- Emotive speech for audio books and transcriptions.

It won't replace everything, but so much of our media uses art as noise, to fill a gap, and with this, it can be done almost everywhere on the cheap.
I limit Internet browsing due to its addictiveness. I could have a similar rule for content created by computers.

OP used a card to pay a loan and the amount was correctly credited to their account. They're getting what they used the credit card to pay for.

I think the loophole here is Affirm not being regulated like a CC. Then they'd be required to arbitrate the dispute between OP and the merchant.

Almost unbelievable. I'm randomly reminded of the chess automaton.
There's also plenty FPV quadcopters flying through tight spaces vids that are quite good.

Most of what makes the Tesla video interesting is the FPV perspective negotiating all the close calls. The factory and vehicle assembly shown otherwise didn't strike me as particularly interesting, but I'm probably not the target audience.
Parts of it definitely are including the machinery. It's obvious during certain human assembly clips- humans don't move that fast. Any clips that include a swinging tool aren't sped up because the false pendulum motion would be too obvious.
Yeah, cut my teeth on the Sierra adventure games. Didn't hate the FPS takeover Half-Life ushered in, but.. It's almost cliched to say "Modern RPGs don't feel as alive as Ultima VII" and yet.. There is truth to that.

Kinda got stuck in Thimbleweed but honestly hadn't felt so immersed in a game's setting since the old days.

Extradition is generally thought of as when a person from country A who is convicted of a crime in A flees to country B, and country B then extradites said person to country A to serve out their sentence.

It's not meant to be a system to convict people incapable of defending themselves in a foreign court.

Plus, there are extradition treaties: countries A and B have to _agree_ to the conditions under which A will extradite to B and under which B will extradite to A.

> The proper process should be like this: if country A thinks that someone from country B has committed a crime against them then they should come to that country and prove it in a court without being able to add additional charges.

Courts in country B generally have close to zero understanding of the legal minutiae of country A. Ignoring jurisdiction questions, what you're suggesting is that courts in country B have to:

* understand the hierarchy of the legal system in A (what precedent is binding, what precedent is advisory),
* understand what is and isn't a law (e.g. if A is a common law jurisdiction and B is not),
* somehow reconcile legal procedures in A with legal procedures in B (e.g. when are you allowed to ask the judge to dismiss a case? what's an acceptable situation to ask for N more weeks for discovery? how much time is considered reasonable? who do you file paperwork with?)
* somehow decide what constitutes a qualified attorney (e.g. in the U.S., every state has its own qualification process for attorneys to practice in that state, so being admitted to the bar in Colorado doesn't mean you can practice in Florida, and this also extends to the federal govt)

and goodness knows what else.

In general it's good to assume that if there are millions of people in a given system, there are _reasons_ (not necessarily good ones, just plausible ones) the system works that way, particularly when it's a system you have zero understanding of.
I wanted to like this article - I couldn't. The author lost my respect right off the bat when they hand-waved recent trends in Ontario education as "Marxism" or derivatives thereof - a failing of intellectual rigour on the author's part [1].

I will not comment on the actual court judgment itself simply because I'm not super privy to conversations surrounding public schooling in Ontario. I will, however tackle one point the author brings up about "rote-like teaching and learning methodologies". I grew up in one such "rote-like" learning system, and I'm witness to how it _kills_ the beauty of math and sucks all joy out of it. I was privileged enough to find Khan Academy around my HS days and Sal's intuition-backed approach to math was a godsend in a place where we were told to redo the same problems till our "hands memorized the problems". Rote-learning is great for multiplication tables, but anything after that is begging your students to fear/despise math. We need creative ways of teaching math so students are actually interested in the subject, and I see far more of that in the west (I have worked part-time as a math tutor in Toronto) than the rote system I was subject to.

This romanticisation of rote-methods and painting all activism as Marxism leads me to believe the author is no better than those he/she seeks to criticize and is victim to the same intellectual trappings they accuse their opponents of. If I had a kid in the Ontario public system, I'd probably be wary of my kid learning anything from this teacher - my political beliefs notwithstanding.

[1] - I'm not denying the author their right to criticize the system (they probably have valid criticisms), but if they're going to do it in a self-important manner, I'd expect more intellectual rigour than calling anything moderately activist as "Marxism".
I think the fact that he's a power lifter is an important factor to consider in your impression. Power lifters are generally obsessed with their physical metrics and numbers, so this just seems like an optimization exercise in a similar vein. Clearly not a "fulfill the purpose of my life" exercise.
> If you're storing personal data, you need consent.

Could you explain this claim? I'm seeing it more often and I wonder if there's something I'm missing.

GDPR Article 6 gives five other legal bases for processing. From my reading, consent is just another basis you can use if the others don't work.

Or, in other words - "We're burning our runway with such absurd perks that we'll either be the next massive layoff story.... or not even get that far."

It is one thing to offer huge bonuses and perks if you are a FAANG. It is quite another for a new app that is not even beyond a pilot test to do this.

This bit seems particularly interesting:

> "People tell me they don't hear soul in the music," he says. "When they do that, I pull out a page of notes and ask them to show me where the soul is. We like to think that what we hear is soul, but I think audience members put themselves down a lot in that respect. The feelings that we get from listening to music are something we produce, it's not there in the notes. It comes from emotional insight in each of us, the music is just the trigger."

So presumably, we can find "soul" and meaning in computer produced art because a large part of the meaning that we derive from art comes from within us, not necessarily the artist.

This is interesting to contemplate.
In the context of backend analytics, it is difficult-to-impossible for any of those others to apply. The point is that FE vs. BE, cookie vs. no cookie isn’t really what matters. What data you collect and why is what matters.
Nothing. This is a 22 year old aircraft that's changed hands a lot[1] and is flown hard. It's a different aircraft type too...

Every time an aircraft, let alone a Boeing, has a failure, everyone starts to point out every other situation too.

These two situations have literally nothing to do with each other.

It's for the obvious reasons you'd derive from what you studied, and it is absolutely soul-crushing.

However, this is less-common in the more central areas of Vancouver, at least where I live, and I could never go back. If you drop into street view and go up and down Commercial Drive, there's 5-10 grocery stores that are easy to walk to. This absolutely isn't the case in most of the suburbs though.
Other commenters are offering very rational reasons including inflation and the time-value of money, but I think there's a much simpler explanation when it comes to most people: they see a smaller number, it's psychologically easier to pay less today.
How does the funding or political position of the Review invalidate the story told here? If you acknowlege that the facts are as laid out, is your objection that you disagree with who the good guys and bad guys are? Or do you think embarassing facts about the Stanford prof should have been suppressed?

There wasn’t an issue with Affirm not paying the money onward, why go to them.

Once again, Affirm have agreed to give credit to this company, that relationship is theirs. If their client isn’t fulfilling their duties it’s Affirms problem too.

Credit cards work like this, you pay your 2-4% fee and you’re guaranteed what you expected to receive.

Hence why airlines changing peoples tickets out for credit during the pandemic was easily routed around via a cc charge back.

I literally had the Turkish government change the law on my ticket to say the airline didn’t have to fly me but could swap my ticket for credit and I still made it away with my money in the end.
Idk if you think that statement somehow refutes my point, but it certainly doesn't.
It’s more complicated this specific tool itself IMHO.

Stock photos have the same problem, where asking for a profession or a category will give mostly one kind of representation, and it’s up to the user to go dig further to find different representations.

DALL-E being on par with stock photos biases could seem benign, but it also means these issues get propagated further more down the line, and the more AI generated images get popular, the worse it gets cemented (“it has always been that way”) and could actually displace niches where better images were being used until then.
I'm imaging a future where the top replies to art posted online will become "keywords please" or "what model". Hosting sites may start to enact "AI treatises" into their terms of service that segregate human- and AI- generated content into separate areas and ask users to report entries that they suspect do not belong in either. Asking "what model did you use" becomes an insult to a sizeable portion of artistic creators, a genuine question for others, and a phrase whose implications cannot be avoided for all people involved.

What belief systems will we form around AI art after it becomes clear that it's never going away? Many people say that art is subjective. I am thinking that if or when parity between art from humans and AI is achieved, some people are going to believe that a humanistic quality of some sort will be trampled upon in the realization that the two types of art really are indistinguishable. Others might believe that AI art is just another tool that they believe expresses their thoughts. The different beliefs might be fundamentally unresolvable, and this may become an unending source of distrust and sadness in certain art circles within the next decade.

I do not look forward to how this tech will interact with online culture several years from now.

You guys are all debating different things and talking past each other.
The thing about monero, is that even if it is impossible to track today, all the transactions are still in the public blockchain, even if heavily obfuscated. It is quite possible that it eventually will be cracked and all historical transactions deobfuscated. Then it becomes as simple to track things down as bitcoin is today.

If this ever happens, it could lead to a massive wave of crime resolution on par with what happened when DNA testing became cheap and ubiquitous.

Because of this, when it comes to significant organized crime, physical cash and seedy banks like Chase and Deustche Bank are still king.

Bitcoin is for people who don't mind living in the light.
The following are direct quotes from the blog post:

> So, out of the seven KAL crashes that happened in the 20 year span between 1978 and 1997, three were a result of a military or paramilitary attack. Those three crashes clearly have little to do with pilot skills. […] that Gladwell would use incidents of terrorist attacks to pad the stats is darn near offensive. It is as if New York is being described as extra-dangerous in the early 2000s by including the number of deaths from the 9/11 attacks.
> Take a look at p. 204 of the report, which shows the point at which the pilots initiate their landing check sequence, thinking that they must be near the airport. For the next five pages--which ends with the moment of the crash--the pilots are communicating almost entirely in English. […] Gladwell explains that the new COO of Korean Air, David Greenberg (a former Delta Air Lines executive,) solved all the difficulties caused by the ambiguous Korean language by requiring the pilots to speak only in English. Gladwell writes: "In English, [the pilots] would be free of the sharply defined gradients of Korean hierarchy . . . Instead, the pilots could participate in a culture and language with a very different legacy." But Gladwell never reveals that Korean Air pilots were already speaking mostly in English, although that fact was absolutely plain from the transcript.
> Are air traffic controllers even normally from the area where they work? Don't they get assigned?

They are highly specialized on local facilities, weather, traffic flows, etc. The New York Metro area is one, if not the, most complicated airspace’s to control in the world. 4 major international airports (and tons of smaller airports/heliports) surrounding dense major cities with complicated weather, noise abatement procedures, and high congestion.

There are dozens of air traffic controllers of all different seats (supervisors, arrivals, ground, towers, helicopters) in the region. It’s a lot of coordinate.

It is very instructional to watch his early commentary and compare to now - the speed of changes and improvements is phenomenal.
I do think 5-10 minutes by car is really bad benchmark, but I think a lot of people do feel like that's tenable.

I've lived most of my life in places that are 5-10 minutes by car from a store, and it makes for a very isolated social experience, but also it means that if I don't have a car, getting groceries is a planned 1.5 hour experience.

Now that I'm living within walking distance, I buy a majority of my food multiple times per week, only for a few days at a time, which means I can also go to the coffee shop and see people doing the same thing, have a talk with them, socialize etc..
Agreed. I think it's possible that this specific requirement was unhelpful and also that mathematics requirements are necessary. In fact, the author's complaints about status quo of mathematics education nearly entail exactly that conclusion.
There are a lot of potential answers to that, but perhaps the shortest one is that cars drive much faster on a highway.
Child safety isn't only about CSAM BTW.
I would go further and say that most of the users of this site thought bitcoin was untraceable too. If they knew they needed to mix their bitcoins if they didn't want to government figuring out that they bought/sold child porn they absolutely would've done that.
> Potentially, yes. And no, that's not a contradiction, unless you seriously believe that the Democratic Party is doing its best to support working-class Black people.

Fulton County isn't run by "the Democratic Party." It's run by a Board elected by the people of Fulton County. It is, moreover, a prosperous, urban area, with the highest median household income in the state: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Georgia_(U.S._state)_l.... If it can't run its own elections properly, that's its own fault.
This has nothing to do with the claim that we, as a people, got somewhere with this factory, when it is the shareholders that own and control the IP that made it possible, along with the physical machinery. It's not a public service that we, as a people, are responsible for in that sense.
Are you perhaps being a tad hyperbolic? Is it fair to say that the suburb layout is generally considered ideal to live in? Supply issues aside, I would argue that most people would move to a suburb rather than a dense city all other things equal.

Is there a compromise that you’d be okay with? Maybe sprinkle in some high-density apartments around to supplement the single-family housing? Maybe wipe away rental properties so that you don’t have effectively vacant units for portions of the year?

There's been a huge shift since COVID to embrace not working hard, but to me life isn't as interesting when you're spending 40 hours a week just kinda wasting your time, trying to get away with putting in the least amount of effort possible. Having a little pride in your work can be very healthy.
