Accenture, Salesforce, Palantir, Workday, Pantheon... it's a who's who of who's shit. The only name in the whole thing I don't associate with some type of farce is Nakupuna.

You're still in denial about American Auschwitz? God damn you maggots love fascism.

Yeah, but people in LA don't walk :)

"The deranged, utterly mind broken TDS people"

You mean Trump Dick Suckers?

Most English wine makers seem to be making sparkling wines, which is a cover for shitty wine.

Alternately, it is a national security issue, but Cheeto Benito DGAF about national security.

I don't have a strong opinion about whether or not it is, and in fact suspect it ain't, but...

Oh, you forgot laws exist, and that people vote on them, elect representatives and so on. Weird.

Apple made cameras before. Then they stopped.

You can also process the input for subpixel rendering, and use processing techniques to change sprites to look good with square pixels. This approach doesn't require even 4k.

More walking vs. more breathing in carcinogens. Which wins?

There's NFC. If you have issued devices with NFC support then they could use that. Or you could put a reader by the printer and they could use their proximity badge/tag. There might even be a way to tie this into this functionality. Or you could get a printer with support for this kind of functionality and use that, at work we can enter a PIN for this.

Why do you think that's something I cannot influence?

It's healthy to not concern yourself with things which are harming you?

I don't disagree with your characterization of the motivation, but that is in fact the use of enterprise grade resources to train the LLM whose weights are given away.

That's kind of true, but is more complicated than that. It's the various corporations involved in providing or limiting access to housing and/or transportation that profit from the employee having to live somewhere who get the value out of the commute, not the employer or the employee — except of course in the case of company towns, or to the extent of the employer's investment in such enterprises. The employer only necessarily profits from the employee doing work, not specifically from their getting there or being there.
