There are a range of risk factors which, if realised in the workplace, result in an exponentially increased risk of harm to an employee. From my understanding, any workplace in which employees are routinely subjected to 2 of these hazards are required to develop and execute a plan to reduce the risks where practical.
The details of these risk factors may be found here: https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/safety-topic/managing-h...
I think the most amazing use of AI in games (specifically RPGs) will be with statistical models to crunch "planning" and "cause and effect" to draw players into plots, schemes and storylines and then to demonstrate the impacts of success or failure of the player's quest. Think economic simulations of a city due to the player's actions or sabotage where the player has crippled a port leading to the NPCs barking about hunger, prices and disease.
Agreed. We have a very tight description for an Incident and, therefore, a major Incident. We don't call MI's often but anyone can call one.
We have the concept of a Major Incident/Major Event (because the term Code Yellow is already co-opted to mean any administrative fault across a hospital which might impact the flow of patients).
These are all-hands-on-deck moments. They may be called by any member of staff who discovers an event which will impact our service, though it will be ratified by a Major Incident Manager (MIM). While the event is underway the MIM is God; except when it affects staff welfare. If a member of staff says that they cannot attend a war room for whatever reason, then the MIM will move onto the next person up the chain, even calling in directors if they feel it is required.
What is being described above is tech-bro shittery. Calling a major event because you haven't hit a sales target should keep the C-Suite up at night, sure, but calling in techs and devs and 'sacrificing the L and the B in Work Life Balance'? The C-Suite should be making the strategic decisions to reverse the decline, not suddenly drag everyone into a meeting to fix their lack of foresight and working towards an end that the average tech/dev cannot influence.
But we are not talking of a four year old but a system wthat has devoured literally all of the works humans have produced to date. If we are going to see further improvement I am keen to see where this emerges from.
I believe that the switch in out-gassing behaviour suggests that the magma viscosity and gas levels have hit a critical point that means that the field is more likely to erupt.
I think the US leases bases in Australia. Given that a single aircraft carrier group contains more power than the ADF combined I would suggest any that limp back to Australia's shores would be able to continue using these ports.
I suspect the regressive cultural backlash at the US at the moment as the "next generational" response the the civil rights campaigns in the mid-late 20th century.
If you like things like Godot, Godot is the type of thing you will like.
Seriously though, Godot works way better for me using C# than it does with GDScript and the OOP structure means I can refer to classes by their identity.
Dependency chains: many pieces of kit either only have drivers on windows or work much better on Windows. You are at the mercy of the least OS diverse piece of kit. Label printers are notorious for this as an e.g.
Staffing: Many of your staff know how to do their jobs excellently, but will struggle with tech. You need them to be able assume a look and feel, because you dont want them fighting UX differences when every second counts. Their stress level is roughly equiv. to their worst 10 seconds of their day. And staff will quit or strike over UX. Even UI colour changes due to virtualization down scaling have triggered strife.
Change Mgmt: Hospitals are conservative and rarely push the envelope. We are seeing a major shift at the moment in key areas (EMR) but this still happening slowly. No one is interested in increasing their risk just because Linux exists and has Win64 compatability. There is literally no driver for change away from windows.
Memory flows in the same direction as entropic growth. If time actually moved backwards according to an "outside observer" then they would see us remembering the future and holding the past to be unknowable.
Under certain conditions and with certain assumptions. Under other conditions and with other assumptions, the best thing for a species to do is be altruistic.
I'm not sure what you are finding so contentious about this article. We have accepted that people under torture will admit to anything for centuries.
Patients who experience long-term COVID impacts often demonstrate a range of major problems including lowered IQ, brain fog, increased risk of ischemic events, etc.
In my opinion you were absolutely correct to vaccinate your children, just as parents of boys should vaccinate them against HPV; not only for their safety, but for the safety of their partners.
/s, if anyone misses the sarcasm.
Dinosaurs were slow, lumbering beasts.
Dinsoaurs were cold-blooded.
Large dinosaurs, like Brontosaurus (huh!), could not have lived outside of water and spent all of their lives at least partially submerged.
Dinosaurs were stupid because their brains were so small.
Dinosaurs were an evolutionary dead-end.
One digs up bones and the other sniffs for drugs.
