Pretty likely, I think, it'd be a geographically restricted war.

The countries wouldn't fire nukes against each other's mainlands but maybe against each other's fleets. Pretty likely

> > will do the minimum work that is required of them

> So... doing their job?

Can also mean working 5 h instead of 8, but not so little so you'd get fired.

That's not doing one's job completely (if paid for working 8 h), just that no one notices.

Wow, thanks for the links!

Orders and rules without explanation or motivation, damages morale and loyalty.

That's a reason to publish any statistics they might have (at least internally)

> It's like getting refused during interview process

Not at all! Those rejected, disappear. But grumpy employees are still there, but less productive

I think they'd inject ads during training (too). You and everyone cannot do that; Google can.

No it does very much not end up being representative.

They generally won't ever know that the test exists.

He likes flattery too, and this helps him get more of that.

Although I don't think that's the direct reason. But feeling powerful by using his power maybe can be a direct reason for this behavior?

cutemonster··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
Ok :-) Thanks for explaining. Sounds like a good school
cutemonster··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
That's a good point.

Maybe you can have all quiet and focused students together in the same classroom?

They might be reading different books, different speed, and have different questions to the teachers. But when they focus and don't interrupt each other, that can be fine?

Noisy students who sabotage for everyone shouldn't be there though.

Grouping students on some combination of learning speed and ability to focus / not disturbing the others. Rather than only learning speed. Might depend on the size of the school (how many students)

cutemonster··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
And who were the teachers? Did it cost money, how much? How long ago? I guess the students were motivated and disciplined? Who were the other students? Natives, you mean swedes?
cutemonster··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
But you aren't supposed to choose either or. Instead, you split the students in different groups, different speeds.

So it works ok for everyone. You when you're in a good shape, and also works ok for you when you're in a bad life situation.

I hope everything went mostly okay in the end for you

cutemonster··on AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions
Interesting. Apparently you don't waive any moral rights, unlike at Reddit. That is, you should still get credited for your work (in theory).

> How they plan to avoid having kids just borrow their parents phones

I think one can say that about alcohol too? How do they plan to avoid kids drinking the wine?

Maybe if the parents leaves knifes, wine and medicine and an unlocked mobile phone where the kids can find it, ... That's a problem that's hard to solve in a phone app?

> frequent reconfirmation maybe?

Maybe popping up face ID camera tests? Can be annoying, I suppose, if you were in the middle of something

Trump and Vance first, then their families, then America on a distant third place

I'd say it's not true, not in all aspects. Ukraine for example is better at drone production and defence

If a plane can land anywhere to refuel and takes off again in 10 minutes, the other side needs a fast kill chain to catch the plane.

But if they land on big well known bases, it's much simpler.

Another comment here about slow drone speeds and nest drones:

And sometimes the other side can destroy all big airbases in a small country.

Nice job anyway, and an interesting read. Let's hope he'll be more honest hereafter (although I doubt it)

Could it have been that they could use that "reserved" money to pay people's salaries, if the client stopped paying? Then in a way it would have covered? although badly phrased maybe
