Is AI generated content any different from a human reading a bunch of books or watching movies and being inspired by them to create something similar but not identical?

I wonder how much money Boeing could have saved by averting the costly strike action if it had just agreed to the original proposal from the union.

There’s nothing inherently dangerous about driving fast if it’s in accordance with driving to the conditions on the road. Driving too slowly is more likely to cause an accident by impeding the flow of traffic.

We’re a common law jurisdiction, laws are meant to be generalized to allow them to be interpreted and adapted depending on different circumstances, a lot of which are unforeseen at the time of creation of the law.

Ironic how seatbelts aren’t mandated on public forms of transport like trains and buses, yet one is required to wear them in one’s own vehicle. If it truly is based on safety then it should be an all or nothing approach to requiring seat be

Not worth the risk to your credit rating and stress from having to dispute it. Best solution is to file a small claim at your local court. Near certainty it won’t be disputed due to cost-benefit of the retailer having to hire a lawyer to de

Wouldn’t it still be the case of the consumer claims from the insurance then the insurance claims from the manufacturer?

Surely insurance would cover something like this?

My initial thoughts would be to try and scavenge cabling from a car. Wiring harnesses are surprisingly big, especially in modern cars. Maybe even copper piping is an option?

Most embedded jobs use C, some C++. But if you’re good at programming you should be able to pick any language fairly quickly tbh so I’d just tailor my CV according to whatever language is in their job spec. Embedded, firmware, systems jobs

If you’re still sick you should go back on sick leave. Don’t let an employer fire you for a situation they created.

You should absolutely not feel guilty for using sick leave. We all pay into it, either through taxes or lower salary in case we need it. The stigma regarding mental health absolutely should stop, as mental health is health. Some of the comm
