Re:A Japanese Glossary of Chopsticks Faux Pas on Saturday March 21, 2026 @07:19PM (#47472562)
You do NOT want to use the opposite side of the chopstick. If you use chopsticks correctly, you shouldn't be touching other food you don't intend to take. Also if you are with company that you're close with people care less about you touching the food, but otherwise you'll want to use a serving utensil.

I agree. People use "soft power" as the reason the US should do so many things for free, but the benefits aren't coming back to the US.
They probably don't care. By the time the pizza signal was out, the operation is over and the dude was captured.

Surprised by the entitlement of some people. This was FREE labor they were providing, it was never going to last forever.
Re:A motto for programmers: "Tuere usorem, data, veritatem" on Tuesday September 02, 2025 @05:29AM (#45100799)
cringe, just use english

why would programmers be the gatekeepers of truth?

This is a gaming console, so for games obviously?

How does an app like this work in the beginning when you have no/few users? Were you ranking images yourself or hire people to it?
I can't image it is worth much for training. A lot of student submissions are going to be incorrect bull or only worth partial credit at best.

save yourself some time and just write your resume in a google doc and export it to whatever format you want

Re:OpenAI announces leadership transition on Friday November 17, 2023 @09:23PM (#38314205)
I do it sometimes when I don't feel like using my pinkies to hit shift. This happens more often on laptops where the keys are flat.
> Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.

Seems like a loophole: a company could increase the workload to the point GPT tools are needed and claim a writer is not performing (when compared to a writer that does use GPT).

Where's the yacht?
Re:EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @02:56AM (#37671102)
Just use android if you care about things being open. Apple products are good because of the walled garden. Most people just want things to work out of the box, not to tinker with options.
He should have kept his day job. What is going on with these "check in" icons on the globe? Is this just a site for people to say they're lonely? How will he monetize this site?
ehh... feels like click bait. when people say "job" they generally refer to fte, not internship.
I'd guess his app was reported by his competitors. If the author wants to make things fair he'll need to report the other apps and have them investigated under the same policies.
I'm saying it probably doesn't take much man power to moderate these subreddits as you might think. Bring in a team of 5-10 full time workers would probably be enough, tbh.
there was a stat "92 of the most 500 popular subreddits are moderated by the same 5 people"; unpaid people at that

i think they can afford to replace the mods. it'll likely be their last resort though

Is it altruism or is it business expense
Re:OpenAI Brings ChatGPT to iOS on Thursday May 18, 2023 @12:55PM (#35990814)
Jeez, the app is impossible to find among all the fakes. I had to go to openai's website and use the link there.
Disagree with the latex point. If you are using latex just to put your resume together, you are wasting your time. Just do it in google docs or word. Anyone reviewing your resume won't even care unless you brought it up for some reason.
Re:Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter on Thursday March 30, 2023 @03:22AM (#35369253)
Can't image any company actually agreeing to this. You're just signing yourself up to be 6 months behind and have your stock tank.
there are plenty of talented new engineers with the knowledge you listed, but you need increase the salary if you want to attract them
wtf is froth zone? it can't even handle the traffic. just link to twitter

Seems like a scumbag thing to be honest. You can't entice people to pay for a "lifetime" license and just take it away. Now people who expected to have lifetime access to the software need to periodically beg him through email?
Re:A message about Stadia and our long term streaming strategy on Thursday September 29, 2022 @01:13PM (#33023900)
That's a shame, I played a few games on Stadia and thought it worked great.
