People who can't or are unwilling to do something themselves often try to project that unwillingness onto other people.
Good Luck!
We can afford to let people come to us a little bit more than someone who (even though probably has a wealth of experience) is applying for something where the supply of applicants is above or is more inline with the demand.
This will have a detrimental effect on third party tools and plugins like accessibility tools and ad blockers.
True, you can already do this with canvas & plain JS, but more obfuscation will make everything worse.
Eventually we won't be able to browse even the simplest websites without executing JS(wasm).
That being said, I'm all for making things run faster. But I doubt it will actually benefit users in the long run. Web companies will just run more ads/tracking/AI Learning on peoples machines, making things slow again.
If you've been lucky enough not to encounter them in your day to day, then that's really good, because when you have to work with one of them, boy does it suck.
That being said, I've only encountered this a few times in over 10 years working as a software developer. Most people really do want to do a good job. Even if some of them get distracted easily and need more structure.
It's google, facebook etc that are trying to shove these things down your throat, not the EU.
She also gave me a little insight into the word 神隠し which, apparently comes from a saying. When children used to go missing, people used to say that "God snatched them away", which is why the first kanji 神 is 'god'.
Her translation of the title was "God snatched sen & chihiro away" which of course isn't a literal translation, but I thought it was interesting
But I think the answer may be complicated than that.
Maybe people are more afraid these days to pursue romantic relationships with people they meet at work due to fear of the consequences that have been smeared all over the media in recent years. I think this is a shame. I'm happily married but I've worked in a few jobs before where I've really clicked with someone, and the thought did pass through my mind that if we were both single, maybe there could be something there. And I wouldn't be surprised if the same thought occurred to them. I have no idea how, in that situation, I would have gone about it though, but it would probably be spending a lot of time with that person outside of work as part of an extended social group. But chances to do this dwindle as people move between cities/towns more frequently for work. I guess that's what pushes people to use these dating apps.
I have a theory that people who meet their loved ones through pre-existing social groups, have happier long term relationships with their partners.
Screw Match and their silly monopoly on romance.
I would bet money that most companies have this problem.
In fact, a friend of mine invited me to do the same thing at Christmas time this year, and it didn't feel awkward at all!
Maybe this is more of an American culture point?
I agree with you.
However I would add to your statement about AI being revealing. One thing that AI I feel is revealing to me at least, is that it's now making me think much more about the distinction "a human search for truth" however flawed that may be, and things that are made simply to appeal to my biases.
Linking this back to the topic at hand, maybe there is no such thing as objective, but there is a difference between a rule written by a human that was at least trying to search for truth VS a rule written by an system that just parrots the most pleasing thing back at us.
In essence the AI is just giving us what the majority of it's test data tells it that we want to hear.
Like its own output, it's moderation rules are optimized to appear fair, rather than actually be truly fair.
Also I'm reminded of xcom-2's presenting you with success probabilities that "feel" correct to the player, rather than actually being accurate ..
Japanese is extremely regular, which makes the grammar easier to learn though it is completely different to any language with indo-european roots.
For valuable insights into Japanese grammar I recommend 'Making Sense of Japanese' by Jay Ruben (he translated works of Murukami including Norwegian Wood into English).
Also a youtube channel Cure Dolly https://www.youtube.com/@organicjapanesewithcuredol49 Who sadly died a few years ago, but who's insights nonetheless are very helpful (if you can get past the modified voice audio)
It was a coincidence that I had just finished some reviews on wanikani just before reading this. I find it very helpful along with using the Core 2k/6k Anki deck for learning Vocabulary.
What will Fusion give us that Fission can't already? Is it safer perhaps?
