Android had audio latency issues for a long time, and I think they were originally related to the fact that Linux also had high latency audio. I was under the impression that these were much better now:
I haven't heard about issues with latency in iOS audio, but the iPhone 8 is certainly not "modern". Are you using bluetooth headphones? Which apps are you using to play the audio?
I have yet to see an example of Copilot do something that doesn't seem like basic autocomplete/snippets that editors and IDEs have been doing for decades or code so basic that it betrays the lack of competence by the user.
Unfortunately many of our politicians actively try to sabotage the IRS based on some fantasy about making them unable to collect income tax, or the very real problem of not giving them enough funding to go after rich tax dodgers.
Frankly, this is nonsense. Total funds going to projects has gone up over time. I support artists on Kickstarter frequently. What has likely happened is that Kickstarter's investors realized that it wasn't going to make them as much money as they'd like, nothing more.
This line of argument is crazy and infuriating. "Air Canada essentially argued, 'the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions,' a court order said." Do they expect people to sue the chatbot? Are they also implying that people have to sue individual agents if they cause a problem?
It's crazy to me how opposed to building libraries everyone seems these days. We use a fuckton of libraries, but the smallest division of software we'll build is a service.
Except that most people build microservices in a way that ignores the reality of cloud providers and the fact that they are building (more) distributed systems, and often end up with lower resiliency.
Most jobs aren't a source of those things. Why should software development be any different? Introducing unnecessary technical challenges just to make your work interesting often has a negative impact on the end user/customer, which you should give a shit about. Do you think lawyers and architects complain if they aren't allowed to jump on every fad and make their work needlessly complex?
That might be great if Mozilla developed some basic CRUD application. I highly doubt that what they need is a couple dozen more junior people (we'll overlook the fact that we are all ignoring what the word few means). If they actually had a strategy for the future, they'd probably need more P3s, 4s, and 5s. P5s are far more expensive. You also have equipment costs. Unless things have changed, they pay for a lot of home equipment including chairs. They also had annual get togethers that were extremely expensive per person and they frequently flew people around to pair.
The problem is when "the price" is presented and then the fees are presented later. Tell me the total price, and break it down separately. Most companies separate the fees so they can show a lower price and then surprise the customer later.
This sounds more like another symptom of the problems with our healthcare system. I wonder how many non-American are aware of this extra idiocy in the system: if you get hurt on commercial property, at someone's home, or in a car, you can't use your own health insurance; you now have to fight with someone else's insurance.
Perhaps a better solution is to allow children on social media, but drastically limit how companies are allowed to interact with such accounts. Random ideas: no ads, no messages from people they don't follow, limit ability to follow other accounts in some way.
Working at Long John Silvers was also grueling work and I was always covered in grease and received minor burns from time to time. The job can be learned by almost anyone in a couple weeks though. Physical difficulty has almost nothing to do with compensation.
“ As of 2024, this project is archived and unmaintained. While is has achieved its mission of demonstrating that unifying computational reproducibility and provenance tracking is doable and useful, it has also demonstrated that Python is not a suitable platform to build on for reproducible research. Breaking changes at all layers of the software stack are too frequent.”
