Lamb is quite popular down here in Australia. I usually keep some rendered fat from my roasts etc. Sometimes I cook other meats with it and it adds heaps of flavour. I do that with pork fat as well.

yeah that's not good! That's why I don't want to buy a "smart" fridge or any of these appliances that require Wifi access.

Isn't that common across all watches that connect to your phone these days? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: Also, not saying it's a good thing.

May I ask what do you do to financially support yourself, if the gig at Firefox is pro bono?

I think greedy execs are a much bigger problem than "The people just here for the paychecks".

Why else would you "work", if it weren't for the pay cheques to support yourself and your family?

It's the same for me. I'm in Australia and on my work laptop I'm connected to an American VPN. It's showing my location as USA. I was wondering how it's detecting the country.

This is the whole reason why middle class is dying and power and wealth are being consolidated amongst the rich.

I've been through two restructures and both times I'd full access to everything for a month until my position was being decided. There thousand plus employees affected and not a single one did anything like what you've described. I'm Australian if that helps.

A 2mph bump isn’t nothing. If it failed to stop it can trample people. It can still do damage to elderly or disabled people. The 17mph collision may have caused some minor damage to the “fixed object” but that fixed object could've been someone standing still. Tesla is not making an effort, they're doing the bare minimum.

Are the facts presented in the article incorrect?

Shouldn't these workers in Phillipines be required to be licensed to drive cars in the USA to operate those vehicles (even remotely)? I understand that they're not really driving those cars. But they've control over these cars and they do operate them when required on public roads.

Thank you!

Ahh thank you! I saw a few photos from last night's Aurora sightings down here in Vic, Australia. Maybe next time! :)

Well, they make perfect sense to buy down here in here Australia. When I replace my current seven year old ICE car, it'll either be a diesel or a petrol electric hybrid. In either case it'll be a Japanese one.

Are there any resources to track Aurora sightings or predicted sightings?

Environmental restrictions! All our data is on cloud and for customer privacy we're not allowed to download anything locally. We've access to most of the LLM models from all big vendors. I've found them to be very similar.

The site/visualisations look great. But having used AI tools in my programming, I still haven't been able to justify the cost (to the planet too) vs benefit. I've noticed that it's great for pattern recognition and if I've missed something small or missed a variable name here and there, then it's quite good at finding those problems. However, if I ask it to produce a complete piece of work, I've never been able to get something without any bugs. Forget about getting it to design data pipelines with customer privacy and data security in mind!

For reference I work in finance/econometrics and the code is often about numerical analysis written in SQL and python. More often than not I end up wasting a lot of time fixing issues with AI generated code. None of these nuances ever gets captured by metrics like these and it makes me question people (mostly sales and top execs) that push for "AI" at work.

Soon there will be a subscription model to use certain features in the fridge! Spherical ice and fast cooling will cost $9.99 per month!

Care to elaborate?

Thanks for sharing this.

I learned VB .net when it first came out back in 2003 (might have been earlier). VB was quite widely used back then and now days it's declined in popularity a lot. I checked the repo insights and it's a single person who's built this and has been maintaining it. Their contribution and dedication is definitely commendable even though the language isn't popular these and even more so on Linux! This is pure selfless programming!

Countless bodies consisting of the said meat have been responsible for the advancement of technology so far. If these meat brains don't contribute to any new advancements then the corpus of data will stay stagnant!

Totally agree with this.

> “not living in Soviet Russia”

Nothing screams "fear mongering" like comparing with living in Soviet Russia.

Look, we can argue all day. There is no right or wrong answer. I don't fully support the govts initiative but I also don't want Meta/X/Google to have unlimited powers like they do in the US.

As an Australian citizen I'm not fully in favour of this. But I think I agree that we need some protection from companies like Meta/Google etc influencing our youth based on the American political "situation".

what's the alternative? Is it really information or misinformation?

To be honest, we Australians aren't doing so well either. But you're correct, it's a comparatively bigger economy. There are more opportunities. But we've hundreds if not thousands applying for the same job.

That's like saying Physics was mostly invented by people who didn't have an education background in physics. But smart people like Newton and Leibniz figured this out. Sure, with knowledge being so readily available anyone smart and motivated enough can figure out almost anything. But it doesn't make formal education redundant.
