Nope, that is not the law. I’ve seen more than a few of these things and had a partner in HR. You’re confused. Employees can be terminated with 0 notice. (Which is how it should be). You’re probably thinking about some payroll law. Terminat

About rockets? Or websites? I’m writing from a faang office with a few decades of experience. I know some people in aerospace. They’re on average smarter than 4/5ths of my colleagues (who are also clever).

Whew - even with your empty caveat against saying what I’m about to say: Designing reusable rockets and launching hundreds of them into space for profit, is more complicated and requires a different caliber of frankly higher IQ worker, than

What a bunch of ridiculous whining here. They are laying off a large portion of workers who have previously expressed being hostile to the new leadership. There is bloat, laziness, aimlessness, and the company is being taken in a radically

They pay her because she does high quality work in the style of other Disney art. Not because her work is original.

Not at all. I love the idea of Copilot and similar systems! https://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ I have a tiny issue with those systems if/when they output certain memorized content. But that’s a type of bug, which can be avoi

Yes exactly :) Somehow I trust the law is going to work out ok though, despite all the hot takes from people who don’t really understand ML or copyright. It’s scary to see so many people not understanding the distinction between an input an

That would be silly. It’s about outputs not inputs. If you create copyrighted material you must compensate. One day a robot is going to be walking around the world. Will it have to pay someone every time it glimpses a video / book

Copyright is still about outputs instead of inputs, just like it is with human learners. Training isn’t copying. Its an input. It’s akin to “seeing” or “reading”. Any judge needs to think in terms of outputs. If a system outputs something t

It’s not an art critique. If she reads it, hopefully she understands the lens of the language. Her style is good, and evidently assiduous. Everything said remains relevant.

It’s not rough. Her art is nice. And I’ve also seen a lot of other work that looks like it. Years dedicated to the profession or not. Maybe she’s closer to the origin of the style than most? Anyway I spent all my life writing code and I’m n

So, if we remove her name and call this style #27b-6, there’s no issue. She does not own the style. She owns her name and can get fussy about how it’s used, but you can’t stop someone from learning your style.

This Hollie Mengert’s style is (nice, but) not at all original. There are thousands of cartoons that look exactly like this. You could never even tell that anything like this is similar to “her” style. But, even if she did have a distinctiv

Well, I sympathize with your experience. There are some easy parts of the system and a lot of nasty parts. I prefer any type of isolated security housing, just for the safety aspect. Though I met a handful of slightly cool people in GenPop,

What state is that? I had the same experience in AggSeg at two different facilities. Automated lights? What's the torture there? It sounds nice. In fact the only real complaint I had (besides some behavior of the COs) was that in AggSe

You have plenty of conversations in AggSeg if you want. Just with a small group of other inmates talking through your door while they are on individual free times. There’s also usually an air vent people talk through. And that is the real t

You shouldn’t make personality diagnoses via online comments. The math doesn’t change for introverts or extroverts. AggSeg is safe, easy living. It’s nowhere near torture, or dangerous, or inhumane, no matter what TikTok says your personali

If it's loneliness that concerns you (whew lad), I would just say that being forced to socialize with the criminal population feels just like being alone, with the exception that you can really get stabbed.

Yikes. Here's a totally contrary opinion from someone who has also been to AggSeg - AggSeg is the VERY BEST place you can be in jail or prison. I spent almost a year in AggSeg and it is lovely. - It's "single cell" meani
