Question: How does my mattress company reach 100% saturation.
AI Answer: Kill all humans. Target population: 0%. 100% Saturation achieved.

... (some screams later) ...

Police Transcript: Perp: "The AI told me to do it! It's a government service so this is entrapment. You can't arrest me!"
Police Transcript: Agent 1: "Dang, our Police Rulebook Chatbot says he's right. Let him go."

You missed the point. It was Paypal who was stealing the money. If they didn't like your transactions for any reason, such as if you didn't use the service for 8 months then suddenly sold 5 things in a row, they might freeze your account and keep any money it contained. You had/have no recourse.

Outsourcing doesn't matter. The last interview I had ended up being for a senior Perl developer despite me having no Perl experience and Perl not being listed on their job description. I was qualified for the job they advertised but that wasn't the job they were hiring for. They interviewed me because I emailed them to point out a mistake in their job application (could only type in numbers for a text-based answer). That was a small business where their head and only HR person also helped with their software development. I have no clue what the company was thinking and I'm sure they're complaining about how they can't find anyone experienced. I checked their website 3 months after that interview and the job posting was still active.

15? If they did hiring like some states require landlords to hire tenants, they'd look through their applications in order and hire the first applicant who meets their predefined requirements for the job. Another option if they know a little bit about statistics and expect to review 400 applications to find someone, then they'd find the best applicant out of the first 20 then hire the next applicant who is better than that one (20 = square root of 400).

HR are supposed to be good at HRing, so they should at least know about those two options and have good reasons why they picked a supposedly more efficient hiring technique. Right? With all these job applications flying around, companies shouldn't have positions unfulfilled for very long.

So what's he's saying is they're adding AI related hooks to their extensions API so anyone can add whatever AI they want to whatever aspect of the browser they want? Right? Right? And they're going to drop the random sidebar AI and right-click AI entries which seem to be a strictly limited to whatever limited vision they have for what a browser AI should be? Or is this new corporate bullshitter just as bullshitty as the normal bullshitters?

I think the summary ignored the more important 2/3rds of the announcement.

Please, pretty please make it an extension. You can include extensions installed by default if you want. But lets us completely remove things we don't want or swap them out with someone else's.

1) Changing your UI to be more similar to a worse UI is fucking up that UI. The UI includes far more than the shape of the buttons or the complete disregard for a well designed scroll bar. One of the things they intentionally made worse in order to improve bullshit metrics of their Download toolbar button was the "Save File" vs "Open File" feature. Previously the "Open File" created a temp file that disappeared when you were done with it. This was really useful, such as when opening a bank statement then saving it with the proper statement date (which isn't included in the filename of most statements you download). The updated version of that saves the file in your Downloads folder and you have to manually remember to delete it. Firefox viewed the extra clicks on their toolbar button (Click -> Right click on file -> Delete) as improved user interaction (and thus claimed people enjoyed that feature more) rather than the annoying, wasteful extra steps it actually is. Intentionally making workflows worse is fucking up the UI. They do it a lot and just because other companies do it too doesn't give them an excuse to continue doing it. It's possible to be better than everyone else and not fuck things up. They intentional choose not to.

2) They absolutely did fuck up the extensions. The extensions that are important to you aren't the same extensions that are important to other people. Yes the browser needed to be updated, but they didn't release new APIs that covered all the possibilities of the older extensions. There were a lot of UI things the old extensions could do that they no longer can. (Also the UI for just getting to an extension's settings is horrible.) Though I agree with you that this is an old issue. But still, they could be improving the extension API to give more control over the browser but it doesn't seem like they are.

3) One of the original points of Firefox was that features were extensions. That's completely gone. All these new features should have been provided as extensions. Further, the settings to turn things off are very certainly not clearly documented. about:config could have a description column but doesn't. You can't consider anything in there as documented. The Settings page is very poorly designed and doesn't let you toggle a bunch of things on/off. None of the settings have tooltips and only a few have additional help/descriptions linked with them. The page is poorly designed because there's a huge mixture of UI controls with some changing the current page, others opening pop-ups, others opening in new tabs, hiding/showing new options, etc... and it's not clear which of those controls will do what. Some block you from going back, or at least some give you a Back arrow and others don't. There's settings grouped by sidebar 'tabs' but there are groups within those tabs which don't have indexes nor give you an overview of where something is. Sometimes there are lines separating some of those inner groups and sometimes not. There's a mishmash of different text stylings. If you study it closely you can figure out there's subgroups of subgroups, but since nothing is indented and there's no index, it just looks like a mess.

4) Yeah, there's a ton of idiots who say they don't like change X so they'll switch to a browser which has even more things they claim to dislike.

Medical AIs the world over will soon associate hair length with cancer risk and advertising AIs will offer hair extension coupons to dads paying child support.

Making a bad joke risks serious side affects. Please, don't do it.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks.

Though I wasn't saying to stop taking the meds. Just that some people realized they no longer needed them after changing diets. If you switch diets I wouldn't recommend stop any treatments just because you switched. You have to wait and see if your problem resolves itself before deciding to change any formal medical advice.

So what do you recommend telling people who believe a random immigrant is going to eat their pet? Install a fence and shoot anyone who knocks on your door because they're distracting you from the person sneaking in the back to grab a bite? I'm a man, I offer solutions not "Yeah, the world is a scary place."

Sure they have a lot of valid concerns, but just as many bullshit ones too. The bullshit ones are the only ones I ever hear anyone talking about as they're rarely self directed and instead about other groups. Few people handle self-reflection well. They're supposed to be the people pushing personal responsibility. Telling them they're incorrect by referencing real data should be enough to change their minds by their own ideology.

And when those things come together to combust without an external heat source, it's call spontaneous combustion. Though your analogy was fine and probably correct.

It'll become a yes because the aliens won't like us. Humanity, forever alone :'(

You can reject sewer and water? I can cancel any utilities except those.

That's because meat healed our chronic health issues so you can pull it out of our cold dead arms. Yet you tell us to our face that we're lying and the diet that clearly healed us is actually going to kill us and causes all the problems that it cured us of. We're not the ones denying reality.

In the mean time I drive an EV, generate less than a grocery bag's worth of trash a week, buy my clothing from Goodwill (only a few items a year, socks and underwear excluded), don't have packages being delivered every week to my home, don't randomly remodel my home, have heat set at 58F in the winter and AC at 87F in the summer (your tolerable temperature range expands), use a real leather jacket, have a porch made out of wood instead of plastic, don't need to water my native grass lawn, buy used whenever possible, etc... You need to eat something. You don't need to participate in fast fashion nor order new things online daily. Everything you do in life has tradeoffs. I choose to be healthy which means eating the most efficient food for humans. We're obviously not going to force people to walk everywhere nor ban electricity. There should be a similar decision with regards to producing food that's optimal for our species. There are far better things work on than something which is so useful to everyone and has no comparable replacement.

In other words it doesn't belong in a scientific journal. The paper cited unpublished research that isn't available to the public. That means it's claims can't be verified which means it's a bullshit paper.

"I'm the best person to have ever lived and everything I say is true. I'm citing 25 studies which shows that I'm right and that anyone who says I'm wrong is wrong themselves. I'm giving you the citations, but I won't let you read their papers." That's what they did. Complete bullshit. That type of fraud and false advertising should be criminal, doubly so when it's done to cover up harm you're knowingly causing others for your own personal profit. We used to execute mass poisoners.

Some of what you're saying is true, but it's not the full story. My college from 15 years ago has nearly doubled in price. It hasn't doubled in quality. Professor salaries haven't risen a meaningful amount. Much of the money has gone to administrator pay, marketing, and making the place look grander. The quality issues students used to complain about are still complained about today. They sort of did improve housing for a couple years by building some 'luxury dorms', but neglected maintenance on the cheaper housing options which led to them being demolished (for fancy new administrator buildings). Now they're back to the prior levels of housing, but they both cost more and the school has more students.

The school does now have a MakerSpace in theory. In practice you have to contract with it's maintainers who do your projects for you because the students can't be trusted to learn how to use the tools properly unless you take the "Innovation Magic" class. My local public library has a similarly equipped MakerSpace (it's an amazing library, awesome TV DVD collection too) and theirs doesn't costs tens of thousands to run nor do you have to pay tuition to use it. Ask if you need help and someone monitors the space to ensure you're not going to seriously damage something. It's more usable than the school's space. You can pay the library to have someone else run your projects too. All vastly cheaper than the school's.

It's only self correcting when the signs are highly visible and visible before the infectious period starts. For an example, I won't be surprised if HIV rates start going back up despite us being able to control transmission now.
