If you're replicating someone's work with AI, then you should pay them.
But the idea that the union can force companies to pay voice actors in general instead of AI is BS. You don't have a right to be hired because you're in a union.
it's well understood that most people won't take those steps.
Well understood to everyone but extra well understood to google and apple.
To be extra clear, here: titanium melts around 1,900 kelvin. The temperature of re-entry is 3,200 kelvin. Yes, 3,200 kelvin is "below" the temperature required to make titanium boil (by 300 kelvin), but you'll note that the 1,900 is 3,200 by 1,300.
Who honestly thinks titanium that's been heated to 'just below' its boiling point for half an hour, will be somehow intact once it's slow enough to not self-generate plasma due to atmospheric drag?
Ridiculous.
How does a thing that isn't water, 'water in the ocean'? What? A thing can't water. The only thing that is water, is H2O.
Also, no -- it will not survive atmospheric re-entry. The atmosphere see to that. The heat of re-entry exceeds the temperature of Venus by *THOUSANDS OF DEGREES*.... It will not survive in 1 piece. This isn't a matter of atmospheric pressure, nor is this a matter of G-shock. It's plasma; it'll be in an envelope of super-heated plasma. Why do you think they can't use the radios on the Shuttle during re-entry? High energy plasma -- at THOUSANDS OF DEGREES.... Sheesh.
'"As this is a lander that was designed to survive passage through the Venus atmosphere, it is possible that it will survive reentry through the Earth atmosphere intact, and impact intact," Langbroek wrote in a blog update"'
Uh, no.
1) High-energy plasma at 3,200 K upon re-entry. This occurs for 25 minutes or so. This is why Columbia became
2) Venera probes use drag-parachutes to reduce velocity to the point that they can survive entry into the atmosphere of Venus. But, this was built by the Soviet union -- it didn't get out of low Earth orbit. Do you think that parachute functions? It doesn't, it won't.
3) The reasons cited for it 'surviving' re-entry are
Ridiculous. It will not survive atmospheric re-entry. it will not be 'a single piece' when it (or most of it, the parts that weren't vaporized by high-energy plasma), gets to sea-level.
Perhaps they should have asked the judges if they wanted to be fed what the plaintiff feeds to dogs. The implications are horrific for any form of credibility.
That person is an idiot. They deserve what they get.
wtf does xr mean?
Nope. That's why I changed all my players to BlueOS.
Given that humans didn't have microplastics in the environment of the past? Their hypothesis is that you have to prove they aren't doing harm (maybe they benefit). The null hypothesis is that no microplastics is the base case; and a demonstration of safety of introducing microplastics is required. The same procedure for making a drug for human use.
This is anti-science flim-flam bullshit. See also: cigarette companies saying no link to lung cancer -- and also, smoking is actually healthy.
Don't be taken in by the same lies as earlier generations.

Of, look, a form of life made extinct
I guess 'evolution' isn't perfect.
Wow, so the 'fitness function' of evolution led to the extinction of a lineage of life?
And you, "have to wonder" why scientists are exploring the possibilities of life?
it should be obvious. They are exploring the possibilities of life, to understand them. The possibilities of life.
And, let's be clear, extinction is something that happens for terrible reasons. Not everything that became extinct, became extinct for good reasons.
https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... is perhaps a book you should read, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2F~...
Things happen for reasons. They don't happen for good reasons. That's why we explore and research.
"The area that Google did well in that would not have happened had I not been distracted is Android, where it was a natural thing for me. I was trying, although what I didn't do well enough is provide the operating system for the phone. That was ours for the taking."
The antitrust case was overturned by the Appellate Court in 2001. The DOJ and Microsoft settled the outstanding portions in November 2001.
Android Inc. was started in 2003, and was four guys using pre-existing Open Source components to build an OS for mobile phones. Google bought them in 2005, and the first handset using Android was released in 2008.
Bill, you had seven years and the entire backing of a massive corporation (including all of its employees and intellectual property) after the antitrust case was settled, and couldn’t pull off what four guys started and Google finished in five using Open Source components.

I replaced all my SONOS connects with BlueSound node Nano devices. A pricey replacement, but worth it.
As a bonus I was now able to turn off SMB1 on my home Samba server !
'But first, "One of the things that's clear from the Slashdot patter is that people are not aware of what I've been doing, in general," Perens says. "So, let's start by filling that in..."'
Seems a weird statement. ESR and Bruce Perens have been thoroughly discussed on Slashdot. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... got a lot of positive attention for us slashDorks in the 1990s. People were a lot cooler with that topic, than the topics Jon Katz would post about. Red Hat showed that the model was tenable and profitable. Lots of people contribute. Linus Torvalds was hired by Transmeta because of that. Alan Cox got to work for Red Hat. Etc, etc, etc, etc...
It's worth re-iterating for people born after 1999, but
And even then, people can insert an exploit earlier in the chain of design and implementation of the information technology in question.
Consider -- anytime npm or other distribution sites for software are compromised.
I remember finding a virus on a BBS shareware CD in 1996. It was using polymorphic code behaviour to be harder to detect. It was detectable, but if I hadn't had the security threat-analysis software I did -- I would've had no idea.
Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
The difficult we do today; the impossible takes a little longer.
