The intern is a problem. The real problem is lack of oversight. You should never push anything an intern produces without review. Unless of course this was reviewed and this intern is being used as a scapegoat.

The genie’s out of the bottle so it’s not like we can tell students not to use this. In the end, it would be a good skill to have to evaluate a given solution to determine if the answer and methodology are correct. This is true whether the answer is provided by A/I or another human. At the end of the day, A/I can…

Considering they’re worth $0, getting a $20k equivalent seems generous.

That and how much of the surface are we looking at?

This whistlelower report is not nearly as damning as the previous one. The prior allegations described gross negligence in production quality control. This one sounds like an individual whining about how difficult it is to assemble very large parts. There’s nothing to say this was a design flaw, a manufacturing flaw,…

I wish my memory was only 3% corrupt.

Now I have to go research how they solve this on Mars. Seems like it should be an easy copy-paste.

BR2049 had Jared Leto in it and the movie didn’t suck and Jared Leto didn’t suck (for that one brief moment). I don’t know how Denis can do the impossible and walk away with doubts.

Despite processes in place to ensure compliance, the continued use of AI-generated images that contravene our clear guidelines went unnoticed, and the paper was published.

Ah, so the CIA drilled the second hole to make the Russians seem incompetent. Excellent work Detective Ralph! I retract my internet comment.

+1 for the vertical mouse. It’s not good for gaming, but it’s a game changer for my 8 hour work day.

You know what else could cause the leak rate to double? A second hole. As Hanlon says - never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by Russian sabotage, which is a lot like malice but more flagrant.

Virgin Galactic is putting a lot of focus on the fact that the pin did not pose a safety hazard to either aircraft while completely ignoring the fact that aircraft are not supposed to drop parts mid-flight. Aerial bombardment is strictly prohibited by the FAA. You don’t get to pick and choose which regulations you…
