Wow wtf. Their apology doesn't even hint at one of the biggest problems in the question, that people shouldn't be aspiring to become "better" AI-generated versions of themselves. What kind of dick asks people to even consider that?
It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won't hire just to stick to the process. It's a waste of everyone's time.
Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” >
It's unfortunate that this rings true to many cities.
From the wiki article :
Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. >
Anybody have any idea what the ethical standards might be that he's referring to? Not sure if there's a scandal or something or just an overall sense of displeasure with the field.
It's hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?
Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.
I agree with other replies here with one addition. People who get into grad school are generally the high achievers from their high school and undergrad programs, so they are used to being the only or one of few star students. In PhD programs everyone is a star student, so it can be a bit jarring to folks used to being head of the class when they suddenly aren't.
It can cause a bit of jealousy and competitive thinking but most of the time students get past it and focus simply on enduring the gauntlet.
I know October kind of implies this but I'd add Halloween to this group.
The article doesn't specify, but what kind of 'activity on adult websites' is damaging to the point that a candidate would be pressed to drop out?
This is nice and all, but I don't know that it means a whole lot. There are few stakes for the people coming out to endorse Harris now. They don't work in govt roles, hold position in a political organization or an elected office.
The rank and file GOP (who are running for reelection now or in 2-4 years) are still sticking to the party line and the approved narrative. When they start flipping then it will be real news.
It's of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).
However I'm also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don't fit their narrative.
My God what hubris. Rush had so many chances to pause the dive or work on a redesign and ignored it. I can't imagine the fear of being 3000+ feet below and hearing the first cracks of the hull as it starts to implode. Hope it was fast.
I loved the original, and enjoyed this one. It was a respectable sequel, especially given how most sequels are hot garbage. Worth a watch if you enjoyed the original movie. Not necessarily theater worthy, but it was pretty great to hear the original Danny Elfman theme playing in the theater during the intro.
$700?!? Are you freaking kidding? I'll stick with my PC, thanks.
Thank fucking God. Someone with sense finally showing up in Jeff city.
Fingers double crossed for Missourians this fall.
Or, perhaps a mashup of both???
I don't understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.
" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”
I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.
I mean there was that story about RFK eating dog. I think he's a citizen though, as much as I'd love for him to go away.
(NOTE- the story was found to be false.)
A professor I was taking a management class with gave me a fun burn on my thesis. I asked for his input on a specific point and he called it "intellectual masterbation" and proceeded to talk for 15 min or so about ideas he thought i should have studied instead (I was already preparing for my thesis defense so couldn't change topics). Never got an answer on the actual question I'd raised.
Last year's 'upgrade' was a strip of titanium around the case. They seem to be running out of ideas. Definitely not worth the insane price tag.
Chick-fil-A and flick-chil-A.

PUBG publisher Krafton has acquired developer Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush, marking its first "significant investment" in the Japanese video game market.
Finally some good news on a studio closure. So glad for the team at Tango they found someone to take them on.

The University of Bristol-led study, published in Scientific Reports on 22 July, is the first to test how human stress odors affect dogs' learning and emotional st...
The video game industry is in the midst of a remake craze, but does every classic game really need one?
Curious about y'alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.
Anybody tried Bliss?

Australia’s wealthiest person comes under the microscope after unsuccessfully trying to get the National Gallery to remove a painting of her by an acclaimed Aboriginal artist.
Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.
So excited to consolidate my mess of drives and get a big boost to my storage.

I'm looking for a way to play games that are 20+ years old and not produced anymore. I'm thinking like the old maniac mansion games and other Sierra on-line stuff from the early 90s, but I'd love to be able to browse old games and check them out. Happy to play in browser or download if the source is reputable.
Here's a few places I've come across in my search. Would love thoughts or recommendations on these sites or others that are good places to check out.
A 19th-century book helped crack the code in cryptic notes found in a dress bought at a Maine antique mall.
TLDR The messages were shorthand meteorological readings for multiple locations at specific times. It was a unique form of code used to transmit weather data via telegram back in the 1800s that is the predecessor of the shorthand used today.
