An expert on crisps maybe XD? i'm not really sure about your last point on investing in frauds, i guess they only care if and when the fraud gets exposed, they might purposely choose to do exactly that given the right conditions though

How have i never heard about this, will definitely give a try. What about a DAW integrated transcription tool, as a VST maybe, is it too niche? This is something i always wanted and never really found in the capacity i needed, essentially d

Rent, university taxes and all the other taxes are still due, i'm from the EU too and education is definitely not "free", freer than somewhere else for sure.

Usability, UI, that's not the point, my question is just how is it possible that an esteemed academic professional doesn't understand that touching anything that deals with "data" on a service like ChatGPT could possibly

First rule of the world: "if you don't understand the implications, don't do it". How much are we willing to justify every wrong behaviour possible?

It seems you are desperately trying to make a strawman without any sensible argument, i don't personally think it is "snarky" to call things as they are, plain and simple, you, as supposed expert and professional academic, po

The issue is not backup, the issue is that he is publicly and nonchalantly admitting that most of his work for the past years was ai-based, which might or might not constitute fraud given his professional position. Imagine being a student p

The shame is not that he was so imbecile to not have appropriate backups, it is that he is basically defrauding his students, his colleagues, and the academic community by nonchalantly admitting that a big portion of his work was ai-based.

The author is an absolute and utter embarrassment for all the good academic professionals out there, and he is also literally admitting to defrauding his students of their precious money, which they thought was going to human-led instructio

They've run out of terrestrial snake oil to sell so they now need interstellar snake oil.

It's really not obvious to calculate the output of any employee even with years of data, way harder for a software engineer or any other job with that many facets. If you've found a proven and reliable way evaluate someone in the

The Brits don't produce anything anymore except money laundering in the City of London (where i work btw) and some cattle, so you should expect that kind of biased narrative from them. We in Italy are among the best and most profitable

I'll explain you how it works: upper management needs urgent spend cuts in the next 3-6-12 months to get bonus -> upper management lays off N thousands people in order to reach goal and get bonus.

Not thanks to Java or OOP, but despite it. You can thank my colleagues fighting Java in the bank each day.

That happened not by choice, but by chance and due to "OOP consultants" running rampant in the 2000s. Source: i have to maintain Java slop in a bank, and used to maintain Java slop in manufacturing.

Man, you are making too much sense, somebody is going to have his feelings hurt by your words. Management is now trying to have even more control on the people that actually do things, and AI is being used as scapegoat to entrench their pos

The issue for me is that even if you have strong computer science fundamentals and lots of experience most of the time you won't be able to come up with an advanced optimized algorithm (that took years of research) on the spot, which i

I think that us europeans got spoiled too much in the last 20-30 years and are totally disconnected from the harsh reality of life outside our pretty little garden. Nothing satisfies us anymore, and social media plays a big part on making u

Maybe it's just that everyone is too fixated on "creating value for customers", might it be that customers don't really want value, but they just want to buy stuff? This might explain this big divergence in our real worl
