For text, I suppose it’s similar to writring nonsense in background color instead of spaces or by using an invisible font. AI could probably figure it out and filter it.
The reason it works for music is that AI doesn’t really understand the “grammar” of music, so it just treats it like an image.
Yes, but Facebook can’t just place that script on other people’s pages.
That’s the point of the buttons. Website designers place that shit themselves.
I always refuse all helpers in the kitchen.
Not because of the size, but just fuck no. I don’t want to clean up after some “helper” who managed to slice a single cucumber while getting in the way and leaving a chopping board, knife and excess cuttings all over the place because “I don’t know where you want the dishes” or whatever. It’s no help at all.
My mother in law is especially bad. She doesn’t know where things are, how to cook or how to clean, but always insists on “helping”.
I’m trying to cook here, not babysit a senior who doesn’t accept that her role as provider is over. Go play with the grand kids. That’s why we invited you as a guest.
The aliens are interested in bovine bowels, which are difficult to probe from afar.
I hate the mandatory “updates” which is only a prompt to install “suggested” apps. Even when deselecting everything, it still starts downloading TEMU. Fuck that.
Speaking of books, my only experience with Linux in the 90s was seeing the Red Hat books. I don’t know anyone who actually made it work.
The processor used in Commodore 64 and Apple I etc. is still in production today even if it’s 50+ years old.
Assembly is not enough.
It’s not just a tariff, and it’s also not just a single row list of tariffs on countries or products or whatever.
The tariff tables are multi dimensional. Each product has it’s own table of rates. Besides country and product type, there’s a dimension of how it’s assembled/manufactorered and potentially if it’s part of some sort of special agreements etc.
“The tariff” is basically a worldwide database of product information.
There are actually very few products that are fully produced in any one country. This is mostly agricultural or raw ressources. All other products are said to be manufactorered from different countries. The country of origin in that case is the last country in which the product significantly changed value from being manufactorered locally and it requires a facility to do so. Slapping a sticker on something is not enough.
Anyway, the tariff tables take all that into account. It’s very naive to think you can legally bypass this system simply by leaving a product in your neighbors garden before bringing it home.
You don’t have to waste your time doing that for fun. Plenty of people in logistics get paid well for doing just that, and if they can’t find the loophole, there is very little chance that you’ll find it described online.
Det skal jo også lige sammenlignes med at gamle med gigt og gangbesvær dårligt kan få rengøringshjælp.
Skal det?
Jeg synes det er what-about-isme.
Det præger desværre ofte debatten på Facebook og det fører ingen vegne.
Hvis ingen andre må få noget før end jeg har fået mit, så ender vi med en kø på 5 millioner mennesker med krav før biblioteket kan indkøbe en eneste ny bog.
Country of origin.
Something that people often forget: Contact the embassy in the country.
They know all the stuff, have networks and can send you in the right direction. It might cost something if they need to do any kind paperwork, but in my experience they’ll gladly give you contact info for free to someone who can help you.
That’s the plan anyway. As far as I know they haven’t done it yet, but testing is planned for 2027.
I’m not sure if larger scale is the goal of thorium reactors. The benefit of using thorium is that it is safe to use and available everywhere.
The companies that are researching it here in Denmark are aiming at making smaller reactors the size of shipping containers, so that they can be deployed anywhere needed.
Sure, scaling by quantity is also scaling, but the point is that if they can make one that is financially viable, then they can also make a hundred or thousands of them. In that case, large nuclear reactors will be obsolete.
Jeg hader at syltede rødløg er blevet trendy. Der er ikke nogen ret som ikke kan ødelægges totalt af sådan et afklippet stykke sur røv.
Det er særligt slemt i div. street food boder.
Jeg elsker rødløg og de fleste syltede ting som tilbehør, men hvis jeg bestiller en mexikansk ret, så forventer jeg at den smager stærkt af mariachi-band med chili og sombrero, og så skal der fan’me ikke lægges bløde sur-søde og røde løg stumper ind i tortillaen.
Try updating the app from the app store. I’m on the beta testing version, so I’m not sure which is the latest official version, but I notice that it has had several updates the last few days. It made my dual button issue disappear just now.
It’s a connect thing.
Mine shows 2 buttons where the thumbnail used to be in list view. The top is internal and the bottom is external.
If you can see the thumbnail, try clicking the top half.
What stops them suspending the mid-term elections anyway?
They get concentration camps.
Maybe they should consider not paying taxes.
An office is usually divided in different departments that have different functions.
In no particular order, not exhaustive, and skipping management and IT, typical functions could be:
Customer service. Pick up the main phone line and check the official mail box, talk to customers, redirect calls to other departments.
Sales coordinators. Receive orders from customers, through sales representatives or by web etc. They basically ensure that all incoming orders have the proper data to be processed. Keeps track of order confirmations and maybe send data back to the customers.
Logistics. Arrange shipments from suppliers, to customers and between stock locations. Files all documents for toll and tariffs.
Debtor controllers. Keeps track of customer payments, outgoing invoices, payment plans, sending reminders and debt collection.
Creditor controllers. Register incoming invoices. Get approvals from whoever ordered it and pays the bills on time or whenever it makes most sense for discounts and such.
Finance controllers. Keeps track of the entire balance sheet. Bank reconciliations, cash flow, investments, files and pays taxes. General bookkeeping that doesn’t fit in the other departments. Does the financial statements, reporting, monthly, quarterly or annually.
Purchasing, HR/Payroll and PR/marketing are self-explanatory I think.
All of these administrative functions are necessary in most companies, but in smaller companies it all could very well be done by a single person, while in large companies they might have several people in each department.
Many companies have several subsidiaries or other constructions, so tasks or functions can also be spread out like that. For instance, I can be the creditor department in one company while also doing finance in another or payroll in a third. So while the functions are somewhat strictly defined by the tasks, it’s only in very large companies that someone does just one function.
All office functions are constantly being made more efficient. A lot of it is truly boring, so it’s in everyone’s interest to automate as much as possible. I don’t feel sorry for someone losing their office job to an algorithm, no, I’m happy for them not having to do it anymore.
It’s not a stupid question. When I was interviewing for my first office job back in 2001, I literally asked if they could show me what I had to do.
Seing someone who entered data into a program, I asked if that’s it? You really want me to just enter data into that program? OK, I can do that. And so I was hired to put numbers into boxes on the screen and have been doing that ever since. Not the same program of course. I’ve been around all departments by now and spend most of my work time working on avoiding typing numbers into boxes.
