“Drivers will retaliate against you if you do not cover the part of their wage we refuse to pay them.”

There, fixed that for you, DoorDash.

Using AI to flag footage for review by a person seems like a good time-saving practice. I would bet that without some kind of automation like this, a lot of footage would just go unreviewed. This is far better than waiting for someone to lodge a complaint first, since you could conceivably identify problem behaviors and fix them before someone gets hurt.

The use of AI-based solutions to examine body-cam footage, however, is getting pushback from police unions pressuring the departments not to make the findings public to save potentially problematic officers.

According to this, the unions are against this because they want to shield bad-behaving officers. That tells me the AI review is working!

Holy hyperbole, batman! Threaten to overwhelm the internet!

Someone's hungry for clicks today, eh, The Guardian?

AI-generated CSAM is illegal under the Protection of Children Act 1978, which criminalises the taking, distribution and possession of an “indecent photograph or pseudo photograph” of a child.

Aaaand there you go. This is nothing new. There have been laws on the books for decades to help deal with this exact problem. Someone just slapped "AI" on the story to gin up worry.

Work is less valuable to us because it has literally become less valuable. We get much less in terms of real purchasing power.

You want me to care more about my job? Make it more valuable to me.

The embedded video of Zander Moricz is so good! Click the link and go watch it. If the first line doesn't sell you, nothing will:

"Bridget, our first interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County School student."

Hell of a way to open a comment!

If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.

Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.

"I suspect they'll rule in favor of prohibitions which is a mistake," said one vulnerable House Republican.

There’s such an easy solution to this problem. Just join the Democrats and vote to legalize abortion. You are a lawmaker, after all.

In an environment of painful (almost insulting) food price increases everywhere, Wendy’s decides to remove price predictability from the equation, ensuring that I never know what I’m going to pay, except that I can guarantee I’m going to be gouged when I most want to eat.

Yeah, I don’t care what they sell. I don’t want to be treated like that.

The most obvious result is a government shutdown when the continuing resolution runs out, which will make a lot of people really mad (even those far-right zealots who fantasize about dismantling the US Government).

There are a lot of federal employees out there who would go without payment. Compared to federal contractors, though, they're the lucky ones. Federal employees will eventually get back pay when the government reopens. If you're a contractor, though, you will probably just lose your job eventually. There are a lot of federal employees and contractors in the US.

And here's a fun one: The IRS would continue to collect taxes, but refunds would be delayed.

It’s about time someone pointed this out. Look at all the things phones got rid of in their UI:

• Clustering of icons on a desktop
• Application windowing
• Preferences located inside an application

(It also gives up a lot of context-based right-clicking, but I personally consider the right-click a bad UI design choice.)

Some things, like folders, are only barely implemented, with a host of features that we’ve had for decades removed. Ever tried to sort a phone group by creation date?

I’m writing this on an iPad, which I would love to use as my daily driver, but because it runs iPad OS, there are so many productivity and organizational features missing relative to Mac OS that I do most important things on the laptop.

This article reads like some CEO association paid a tabloid journalist to write propaganda about how wonderful on-site work is. Any longer and the article would seem almost … desperate.

This is definitely a cultural prudishness emerging. But that's only part of it. There has also been a shift away from artistic filmmaking and toward high-grossing tentpole movies. Because nudity is a taboo in our society, you need an artistic purpose to the nudity (or sex scene) in the film or it won't serve any purpose to the film, and people will notice that it's out of place. If most of the movies you have are cookie-cutter concept movies with little to no artistic expression, you just can't make anything taboo work in them.

Obviously everyone has different taste in movies, but some films that made on-screen sex work really well are Basic Instinct, Blue Velvet, and Eyes Wide Shut. It also adds a lot to really campy movies. Nightmare on Elm Street comes to mind. Species became a cult classic because of its use of nudity and sex. For just plain nudity, It Follows used it well in the briefest of glimpses of the antagonist. It also added a lot to Ex Machina.

Those are just the movies off the top of my head that were made more impactful by sex and nudity.

Oh! Airplane also has a big laugh thanks to a scene of gratuitous nudity. Let's not forget the comedies!

It took me almost a year to get in for a routine colonoscopy. While I was waiting, the doctors I was scheduled to see left my insurance plan. I then had to find another provider and wait months longer.

What bothers me is that Apple doesn’t document its features very completely. Here’s an example:

In CarPlay, I do a lot of navigating using Apple Maps. I discovered years ago that I could say “Details” to Siri to get the map to zoom in to allow me to see upcoming turns. I could say “overview” to get it to zoom out to show me the whole trip on the map. Very useful! I had to discover this feature by accident, though. As far as I know, there’s no button in the interface to do this, and there certainly isn’t a list of commands that Siri users can use, CarPlay or otherwise.

Even more infuriating is that this feature was removed about six months ago. Does it exist under some other spoken command? Who knows? Apple doesn’t document anything!

I can't believe they published this article without including a copy of Computer Shopper in the image!

I went to my local Apple Store yesterday morning and saw one person leaving with an Apple Vision Pro and maybe a few people inside trying it out. It wasn’t crowded at all. It seemed like the store was pretty overcrowded with employees, though.

On the bright side, I was able to get in and out with my purchase really fast!

His research was published eight days before the insurrection? This man is clearly a time traveler from a dystopian future who was sent back in time to stop Donald Trump.

MakeMKV Works on Linux. I got it working with Xubuntu in proxmox.

I used homebridge for a long time, but found maintaining it to be a bit of a chore. Home Assistant was easier to maintain and configure, thanks to its web-based interface. And it has a bridge to homekit that achieves basically everything that homebridge did. You may want to investigate it!
