That's not how ownership works

I wouldn't say so. The 'Learning by mistakes' step in the demo shows that the AI can work through these issues, presumably this can be done more efficiently than a human.

Was this written by chatgpt?

Yea I tried to ask how many beers per day is unhealthy and it refused to give me an answer

One could argue the accessibility team wasn't doing a very good job if Mastodon have done it better without a dedicated team.

An application can and should have good accessibility by default without a dedicated team

There's an error showing on the page [an error occurred while processing this directive] which I'm pretty sure I've seen before with WordPress but I'm guessing it's not using that.

But now I'm curious does anyone know what stack or cms they're using? All built and managed in house?

Interestingly chrome on my android prompted me to view the page with 'simplified mode'. Never seen that feature prompted before

3 hours down so far and no notification on the login page, no explanation in the status to say they have diagnosed the issue and no eta for a fix is very very poor for a service of this type. Particularly annoying as I have an invoice to create.

One of the first global accounting saas providers. Forced Intuit to rapidly improve their cloud services but have failed to gain significant market share in the US.

Used an event queue for sending emails and stupidly set to continuously retry when the event failed. The events were failing but only after successfully sending the email, so hundreds of customers received 20 of the same email before I realised what was up.

To be expected tho when you hire a junior and give them no senior oversight

Was he also a a programmer?

Fascinating data, the US generally showing a less than 50% change while other countries with national lock downs are >90%.

It'd be very interesting to see this data overlayed against cases of covid, you maysee them both follow a similar downward trend with a week or two delay. Possibly also determine what change in mobility is required to prevent exponential growth

I get this, but often it results in 10+ messages back and forward when really what I want is one nice succinct email with only what's important and no pressure for me drop everything and reply immediately.

I haven't looked, but is it possible to change your online status on a room by room basis?

No I intentionally only work the 37.5hours I'm contracted to and no more, hoping to get it down to 30hours this year. I'd only ever make an exception to that if I was working for myself.

Thankfully the epicenter appears to not be in a densely populated area. Hopefully those in Ridgecrest are all ok.

Guh, I'm done with the internet for today. No one has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for this and they won't be, the lack of informed people participating in these discussions kills me.

The richter scale in general is not a good indicator of the destructiveness of an earthquake. You need to consider the location of the epicenter and the depth of the quake before coming to any sort of conclusion.

I experienced this first hand here in Christchurch, NZ. We had a 7.1M quake and then a 6.3M aftershock 6 months later. Despite being almost an entire magnitude smaller the 6.3M aftershock was 10x more destructive. This was primarily because the epicenter of the 6.3M quake was 40km closer to the city and some unusually high verticle accelerations caused by the strike slip motion of the fault and the local geography.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale was developed to give a better indicator of the actual effect to people on the ground.

I think that was onenote which has real time syncing.

Agreed. Earthquakes are extremly unpredictable, the best we have is the USGS models and even then they provide very little information.

In Christchurch, New Zealand the M6.3 aftershock in February 2011 was far more destructive than the initial M7.2 event that occured 5 months earlier. This was because the epicenter of the February aftershock was significantly closer to the city and populated areas.

Looking at the Nepal aftershock sequence map [1] it is a concern that many of the aftershocks are located closer to the populated areas. I really hope that Nepal has had the worst of it but it would be a mistake to rule out the possibility of another major event.

Facebook has a simple but clever way of tracking who is engaged with their video advertisements. Video ads auto play in the background without audio, the user has to click on the video to get audio. Presumably they're then able to track engagement by the number of users who specifically choose to watch the video with audio..

I've think they've updated it since then. You can now go through and manually select the photos and statuses that you want to include in the video.

The statement that Christchurch, New Zealand is leveraging 12 percent of the $30 billion reconstruction fund for this type of project is wildly inaccurate. The article referenced only discusses a potential $5m project.

I can see a lot of potential in this if the platform were to be opened up and customised blades could be manufactured cheaply. I'd love to see Microsoft license the technology to third parties and possibly have an open SDK.

This college workshop video suggests they may be planning to open it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9UAxHgXYxw

People spend hundreds of dollars on DVDs and Books that they only use one time, apps probably fall in a similar category for a lot of consumers.

There's an argument that Nokia wouldn't have been stable now if Elop never took the job. It would have failed in Finland instead of now potentially failing in Redmond.

Ha! I read the first few paragraphs and then scrolled down until I got to the P.S.

Brilliant!

The digital sharing would've only allowed for one user to play at a time.

The problem with convert to cloud is that it would require every Xbox to go online in order to check with the mothership before running the game, even from a disk. Otherwise you'd be able to share the disk with offline users who could continue using the physical copy.

They had two choices:

Require an internet connection before running a game. (the 24 hour check)

or

The disk must be present at all times.

New Zealands largest ISP uses Yahoo as their email provider and there were reports of this happening as early as February. They've been down playing it but I'm pretty sure that it much more wide spread than they're willing to let on.
