Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you’ll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

Wondering if you really meant that word or if it’s a typo.

A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.

That’s a stupid way to eliminate efficiency

In case of port/terminal automation the workers usually do not benefit. So it seems pretty understandable that they’re against it.

In Europe there’s way more automation. Still, workers often tried to prevent it.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.

Only for certain people, likely based upon race. The usual rules for some, not for others.

The rich usually ensure that there are enough gigantic exceptions. And these exceptions often aren’t reported upon.

And maybe he believes the trickle down economy bs.

There are different type of smoke alarms. Some detect smoke. There are two ways of doing that. Near a kitchen area it’s usually best to get a completely different one that just uses changes in temperature. Though they will only notify you way matter. So highly recommend keeping the existing one and moving that one somewhere else.

McDonald’s is not consistent though. A hamburger can often be flimsy thin. I don’t get why you’d go there. There are enough fast food options with lower prices. McDonald’s is often really terrible.

Renewables are cheaper than coal. And the replacement wasn’t limited to gas and coal. There are articles which explained that there wasn’t a massive increase in e.g. coal usage.

The CNN article article also briefly puts a high figure for coal on energy, which could lead to confusion.

A lot of that research isn’t done by these companies. Further, their marketing budget is often huge, the research budget is often lower than that.

Up to now he has been able to get really rich by being this way.

Obviously, the EU hasn’t the spine to eject Hungary

There’s no way to remove a member. The EU could remove their voting rights, but Hungary used to be helped by Poland.

I wonder how many extra thousands of EU troops

There’s no EU army. There’s NATO, the EU countries have armies, but there aren’t any EU troops.

I can now get AS splits for less that 400 (500-600 installed)€ in Spain, where AC is common.

In Netherlands there’s a crazy markup on that. You need a local installer. Local installers get huge kickbacks from Dutch sellers. As a result pretty much all installers refuse to install anything bought yourself. Meaning, it costs thousands per AC instead of what it should be.

Interesting that Putin went to North Korea. Especially as he didn’t go there for 25 years. The meetings they had during this 25 years, NK had to go to Russia.

Anyway, more shells and do on for Russia is not good news. The support for Ukraine really needs to be stepped up.

Yet you back up your claim with nothingness. Not quite sure how living in a country makes you an expert on regulations. Why didn’t you add substance? The compliance department in the companies I worked for wouldn’t be experts btw.

You don’t know the Ape? It’s really everywhere in Europe.

I haven’t seen those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany except maybe once in 5 years. Further, it’s seems not comparable. In Netherlands it likely wouldn’t be considered a car. It likely would fall under the max 45 kmh regulations.
