I've rarely been this disappointed by an article. This stuff (process integration into ERPs for specialized ECommerce operations) is 90% of my career, yet I dont really know if I can extract anything from this article. Surely the (huma

The human equivalent is poaching/hunting without a permit, which humans are not allowed. It's not like we can issue permits to cats and make them follow it. Cats also routinely go into other peoples houses and either get themselve

An extreme example would be Maos Great Leap Forward, where there was a human-led drive to exterminate sparrows as part of pest control, which in turn led to famines because sparrows also served as pest control for insects. Humans are very g

Mhh, intriguing. I would also say they would at least need to be neutered in that case so they dont reproduce with the feral population, but from a predatory perspective that would probably be fine then. I would still not let our cats go ou

I have read both the sentence and the abstract carefully, one of the other big antropogenic factors is "building colissions" which by itself is over one billion bird deaths.

As a cat lover this only strengthens my opinion that they should stay inside the house, humans cause enough damage to the ecosystem without needlessly unleashing pretty efficient predators for no gain.

The paper is about the species of "domestic cats", which includes feral cats, strays, etc, with unowned cats making up the majority of the kills as compared to owned cats/pets

From the abstract: Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. I.e. cats m

But again, I am not talking about myself, im talking about the hyptothetical person who might not be the perfect customer. My in-laws have had their gas cut more than once because of non-payments, or were only allowed to keep the gas runnin

The issue is more "I checked my account yesterday, I have 600€ on there, so I know the 150€ utilities bill due today is not an issue" and then a weird withdrawal happens and all of a sudden the utilities payment bounces. Even if i

I am not worried about the money staying gone forever and I have ample cash reserves, but I can imagine that someone who might have to worry about a bouncing rent wire or electricity bill would be more worried about their safety cushion pot

My wife recently filled out a SEPA-Lastschriftmandat for an account in my name and all she needed was my name, IBAN address and a signature. Name and Address is semi-public and signatures can be faked. I'm no financial criminal but I w

Thank you, I see my disconnect now, in my mind "the problem" was that there are no easily useable registries for other countries, when in fact "the problem" is that the regulation itself should have been looked at harder

Trying to be good faith here: It was decided that the registration is left to the individual countries (which I personally agree with, at least I think I do). Now the deadline has come and passed and some of the individual countries have no

Im about as Pro EU as they come, but the problem is that lobying local governments does not help in this case. Im from Germany, we have no issues getting registration in Germany done, however when we looked into it there was quite frankly n

There is a big difference between fighting to keep their walled garden in IOS alive and nuking the entire developer ecosystem that they have built on macos.

Honestly not super sure if that is more of a risk than it was pre-llm. As part of the aquisition I got access to their previous codebase which was some sort of incomprehensible PHP monolith, with the persons who wrote that code long gone. T

Yeah, thats why I meant I was in a spherical cow-situation, this was a situation where we took over a company in the exact same field and I had 5 years of experience on which tweaks would need to be made to be able to rationalise away posit

Can only speak for my own project, but can give an example: After an aquisition earlier this year I got the task of doing an SAP-Integration for the new company, last time I did this 5 years ago it was a 6 month task, but with the experienc

I'd argue that data in this case is more like the actual models they use, their codebase and their engineering talent. Not deep enough in the sauce to say one way or another how big the realistic delta between companies is though.

For how long though? If Amazon never built AWS the core business conceivably would still be around today, if Anthropic stopped providing new models two years ago no one would care about them now.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I feel like it is also a bit reductive. Assets in this space are near impossible to evaluate and can fluctuate in value greatly based on other actors. In a hypothetical scenario where, say, google rel

There is some sort of weird phenomenon that I cant quite put to words, but the core is: While there is a big chunk of the native german population speaking great english there is a subset of (often) service workers who... dont. Had multiple

Im kind of struggling with this logic, because a conscious choice was made to engage with AWS, AWS having opaque billing and the ability to provide a huge amount of compute (even at high cost) at the click of a button should be known to any

Much less emasculating than accepting that all that weird tech mumbo jumbo that those overpaid senior engineers babble about actually has a deeper meaning and is not just there to artificially slow down the all important company growth!
