Another data point: behind the iron curtain quite often both parents were working. Yet the situation got very different form the States, so I'm not sure that's the big cause of shit.

What do you do with the years old bug fixes? How fast can one run the CI after a long while of accumulating tests? Do they still make sense to be kept in the long run?

7 out of 30, that's a very low threshold to accepting that people can have different interests.

I can guarantee you nobody knows it around here, managers or employees, and we work for an US company (in Europe though). We also don't ask it in interviews yet we all are successful at what we do. That's one data point.

This very reason is why US company culture is mocked in all those US shows, yet ironically (and often not ironically) US workers still take offense and defend it. Because if memorizing the company's... uh, what was that text called...

And the whole LG site about it shows... a box and a "add to cart" button (which doesn't work). Do they really expect us to buy the cat in the bag sorry in the box?

I use my laptop with the external display on top of it, so this setup matches my way of working fwiw. True, I hoped it somehow unrolling like the elder scrolls, but alas we're obviously not there yet (and I don't think I would be

So you mean, the AI should figure out when a problematic scene is coming, and only then add labels and whatnot? Not impossible, just somebody must teach them, same with subtitles positioning.

This reminds me of Prime Video subtitles. Anything not Hollywood blockbuster will only have one language (from what it looks like, randomly chosen) of garbage quality (not sure whether AI generated though). But there's worse anyway - s

I guess you can have that in a real life situation as well, where you don't have subtitles at all (hello AR) and still can handle. Do you want your subtitles full of metadata the whole movie for every movie and every day, for those sev

Like other commenters pointed out, we are talking two different types of subtitles - those for hearing impaired have very different requirements. I'm not sure which one is VLC gonna cover. Best would be both, just don't mix them u

Agree, Booking is also a hit and miss - like if it works you've got a cheaper deal, if it doesn't you're screwed as they won't move a finger. Same with Meta or Google, apparently everything once it gets big it drops any

Do you mean free speech as in not getting the government after you, or free speech as in not getting beaten by the guy next to you? Because I cannot imagine the second category ever happening - if you live in a society you must weigh your w

So drinking age is 16/18, same as in Switzerland. Speaking of which, from what I've seen but also in stats, youth seem to drink less than back in my days. But that's tangent.

I guess the OP really meant cell manufacturing, otherwise we are just playing mounting imported bricks - because whether directly in farms or first in panels no big difference for the mentioned independence.

On the other hand we allow euthanasia even for humans, and smarter animals are also killed easily - just in "humane" ways. So an off switch would solve this particular question.

I find difficult to prove something is self-aware when you know very well it was programmed to perfectly mimic self-awareness. Like, if I scream does it mean I'm in pain?

There's always a flock of people ready to believe in anything speaking to their own fears, and the one or other church would evangelize anything if the money is right. So, buckle up!

Why are we so fascinated by all this "self awareness"? Because we think we are self aware, so that will make Claude human? We already deny humanity to animals which are very much self aware, so what's now the big deal? And al

I guess people like me have zero interest in global news, debate and updates on anything global. Or rather, not zero interest, but zero time for it after filling the day with other (more important to me) things.

So the three powers system is broken? Almost "by design" one could say, although it seemed to have worked for a while, maybe when the level of sophistication was lower (but whose level?). Or maybe there was a time when the actors

Okay thank you this answers fully my question. I guess one could make that "Chevron doctrine" into law, a one-time law, then we'd have the issue solved right? So not making laws for every single topic, just enshrine that FCC
