Its forgettable pocket change to anyone but trump. He is a petulant child that doesn’t like to be told “no”. An example of this is the civil judgment against him E. Jean Carroll for $5m. He could have paid it as it too was pocket change to him, but he continues to fight it to this day (and he continues to lose).
Phones peaked around 2012. Now they are more cameras.
Folding phones only came out about 5 years ago, but I bought it used and true to the article my current folding phone is over 24 months with no plans on it being replaced.
That is not a good reason,
I didn’t say it was a good reason. The OP said there was no reason. There is a reason.
There’s also no reason that it’s a software handle.
There is a reason. It would be easy to argue its not worth it though.
When you pull the door handle the glass window retracts below the rubber weather stripping, then the door latch unlocks and you open the door. When you close the door and it latches, the window moves back up into the weather stripping creating a tight seal.
You are forgetting about social security (6.2%) and medicare (1.2%)
okay, fine.
6.2% of 10000 is $620
1.2% of 10000 is $120
They’ll also have to pay state taxes.
8 states don’t have income tax.
So closer to $6860.
So closer to $7,600 than $6,000.
Don’t forget that the $10k bonus is pre tax so they’ll be looking at $6k.
Unless that ATC is making over $197k they would keep $7600 of the bonus as up-to $197k annual income the tax rate is only 24% for 2025. Yes, the bonus withholding rate is higher, but when they file at the end of the year, they’d get back that difference in the withholding rate vs the income tax rate.
i would assume an actual competent person would be able to answer them immediately and confidently,
People aren’t always able to regurgitate encyclopedic knowledge in interviews. Sure some can, but many have anxiety about interviews in general, or stuff going on in their lives which can make them not the sharpest when hit with a rando question like this. There are some absolutely brilliant people I’ve hired that would fail miserably if this was how they were measured.
Some people work better with scenario based questions instead of bulleted memorized answers. Honestly, I’d much rather have a candidate that knows the concept being discussed even if they can’t remember the exact name of a term or the name of a flag they’d need to include when issuing a command. Those last things can be googled in the moment. Conceptual knowledge and understanding is much more important to me than wrote memorization.
someone reading an LLM prompt is probably sounds like they’re reading from a script even if the answers arent wrong
Well, thats what I experienced from my original post, but I’m not sure it will always be that. Someone more clever could take the answer from the LLM and paraphrase it, or put it in their own words and sound competent.
I’m not following, wouldn’t an LLM be able to easily answer that one?
From the other side, hiring competent people has gotten much harder with AI in the hands of people. Its making them dumb.
A coworker and I were interviewing someone for a technical role over a video meeting that we did NOT get through our network. His answers were strangely generic. We’d ask him a direct question about a technology or a software tool and the answer would come back like a sales brochure. I message my co-worker on the side about this strangeness, and he said “We’re not hiring this guy. Watch his eyes. Ever time you ask a question, he’s reading off the bottom of his screen.” My coworker was right. I saw it immediately after he pointed it out. We were only 4 minutes into the interview and we already knew we weren’t hiring this guy. I learned later about LLMs that you can run while being interviewed that will answer questions your in real time.
Another one happened within 48 hours of that interview. Someone that had been hired was on a team with me. An error came up in a software tool that we are all supposed to be experts on. I had a pretty good idea what the issue was from the error message text. This other team member posted into our chat what ChatGPT had thought of the error. In the first sentence of the ChatGPT message I immediately could tell that it was the wrong path. It referenced different methods our tool doesn’t even use.
To translate it with an analogy, assume we’re baking a cake and it came out too sour. The ChatGPT message said essentially “this happens when you put too much lemon juice in. Bake the cake and use less lemon juice next time” Sure, that would be a reasonably decent answer…except our cake had no lemon juice in it. So obviously any suggestions to fix our situation with altering the amount of lemon juice is completely wrong. This team member, presented this message and said “I think we should follow this instruction”. I was completely confused because he’s supposed to be an expert on our tool like I am, and he didn’t even pause to consider what ChatGPT said before he accepted it as fact. It would be one thing to plug the error message into ChatGPT to see what it said, but to then take that output and recommend following it without any critical thinking was insane to me.
AI can be a useful tool, but it can’t be a complete substitute for thinking on your own as people are using it as today. AI is making people stupid.
This is why I generally hire from inside my network or from referrals of those I know. Its so hard to find a qualified worker among all the other unqualified workers all applying at the same time. I know there are great workers not in my network, I just have no way to find them with the time and resources I have available to me.
Is it a scam offer if the benefit was valid for 5 years? If the value proposition for a product changes to where its not valuable anymore, stop buying the product.
I believe she swears an oath to the magistrate that receives the indictment that the bill is proper and true. Hopefully a disbarment is on the horizon also.
She’s also trying to prosecute a former FBI director on trumped up charges. Shouldn’t that set off warning bells for her that the rule of law will come after her for actual violations of the law in the years ahead?
I’m not an aerospace engineer, but I would guess that lots of compromises are built into today’s crewed fighter aircraft as compromises for the human body inside it. This can be as simple as extra armor around the fuselage to protect the pilot from flak, but this armor is heavy subtracting from the range and agility of the aircraft.
I’m also betting that lots of limits are placed upon the design of the aircraft around the 9Gs-10Gs a human body could take for a very short amount of time. Think of the agility and turn radius of an aircraft that could take 12G to 18G maneuvers in the course of a regular day when the design of the aircraft removes the limits of a human body needs to survive.
Lastly the airframe itself is larger than needed for uncrewed if you’re able to subtract the cockpit, canopy, ejection seat systems, environmental system that keep a pilot able to breath and from freezing to death or roasting alive. All of that removed weight means either more weight for weapons payload, longer range from more available fuel, or a smaller aircraft that is cheaper to build, store, and deploy.
Antonov could be the company that skips all the human pilot stuff and putting all that energy and effort into building a superior aircraft without the human pilot limitations.
Sure, but Ukraine could simply buy those crewed aircraft that already exist today instead of reinventing the wheel.
I’m saying other already have fully developed crewed fighter/bomber/interceptor aircraft. Simply buy those. If Ukraine is developing domestic aircraft for those roles, uncrewed version are unserved/underserved market. Ukraine has unique knowledge for drones. They could become the creator/exporter for that technology to other nations instead of pouring lots of effort into duplicating crewed fighters that other nations already build well they could buy from instead.
BTW you missed a colon at the end of your if statement on line 341. Also you used irregular whitespace on another line, but I’ll let you find that one yourself, as a treat.
He will probably never fly again,
A trained pilot can’t find work flying in another country that may have far less worker scrutiny?
Also, I’d be pretty interested to see what Antonov pivots into in the coming decade or two
Given Ukraine’s domestic success with building and operating drones for warfare, I hope Antonov skips human piloted fighter/bomber aircraft altogether. Its a dead end technology. Ukraine is wise buying European domestically produced aircraft which gives them nations with a vested interest in Ukraine’s success over the long term against China’s future vassal state of the Russian Frontier.
Welcome to trump’s America, GOP voters. This is what you voted for.
While I run Linux on a desktop, I’ve always owned a Windows laptop. I decided last week that instead of ever running Windows 11, I’m going to buy a Macbook and dual boot it with Linux. Yes I know I can run Linux on any number of PC hardware laptops, there are occasionally windows only utilities needed to run firmware or some other proprieatry application. If I can know I can always fall back to OSX for system updates and running proprietary commercial software, I’ll know I never need to touch Windows 11.
May when Microsoft realizes Windows 11 is Vista 2.0, Windows 12 may be great. With Linux and OSX, I don’t see myself coming back to Windows even then though.
Oh great, so another unregistered foreign agent working a trump administration.
