6 months notice + 12 months salary, which is what you are proposing, seems strictly worse to me than just 18 months salary and no notice.

For student assignment cheating, only really the em dashes would still be in the output. But there are specific words and turns of phrases, specific constructions (e.g., 'it's not just x, but y'), and commonly used word choices. Really it's just a prim and proper corporate press release style voice -- this is not a usual university student's writing voice. I'm actually quite sure that you'd be able to easily pick out a first pass AI generated student assignment with em dashes removed from a set of legitimate assignments, especially if you are a native English speaker. You may not be able to systematically explain it, but your native speaker intuition can do it surprisingly well.

What AI detectors have largely done is try to formalize that intuition. They do work pretty well on simple adversaries (so basically, the most lazy student), but a more sophisticated user will do first, second, third passes to change the voice.

The benefit to the person is going to vary. For one reason or another they prefer to be in US rather than wherever they currently are. I'm sure each person has their own unique set of reasons, but it's not hard to imagine.

A benefit for the US is increased GDP, tax revenue, etc.

No interest in this exactly, but I am interested in the idea that third parties are now targeting the Framework form factor explicitly to sell upgrades/replacements outside of the Framework marketplace.

Valkey is not blessed by antirez. Antirez is back working at Redis and even committed an entirely new feature himself for Redis 8 under the new license which is not in Valkey.

For his return to redis: https://antirez.com/news/144

On his new vector sets feature: https://antirez.com/news/149

Have you tried waypipe? Does it not fit your use case?

Last time I tested this, which was a few years ago, it worked just fine. But to be fair, this is not part of my workflow, just something I was testing out of curiosity.

If it doesn't do what you need for whatever reason, then I understand, but it just not true at all that the Wayland ecosystem has not been addressing these use cases.

The Brexit referendum was not binding and the decision with what to do with the results, if anything, was still entirely left to parliament.

Surely revising the numbers downward close to election when people are paying most attention to them is exactly the opposite thing you would want to do to get re-elected? I'd argue the motivation for malfeasance only makes sense the opposite -- BLS does not want the administration reelected and thus is releasing worse numbers close to the election.

We can seriously say that, yes. The courts have been saying this in the US for over 30 years. See Midler v. Ford Motor Co.

There are two similar famous cases I know offhand. Probably there are more.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

Bette Middler successfully sued Ford for impersonating her likeness in a commercial.

Then also:

Tom Waits successfully sued Frito Lay for using an imitator without approval in a radio commercial.

The key seems to be that if someone is famous and their voice is distinctly attributeable to them, there is a case. In both of these cases, the artists in question were also solicited first and refused.

He worked there for 5 years. It probably didn't feel "random" for him.

There is already precedent of this, where it was overt. Tom Waits, owner of a very distinctive vocal style, famously successfully sued Frito-Lay for making a commercial that used a singer that sounded too much like him. This was in the 80s, well before the Web or Generative AI.

Yes my org was recent DDoSed too repeatedly. It was honestly inexplicable. We're still not sure why.

That's not the conclusion at all I took from reading the Levine newsletter. His take seems to come down on the other side

Nintendo does not develop the Pokemon games for what it is worth. The quality of Game Freak's output is notably lower than Nintendo first party releases in general from a technical perspective. Even the original Pokemon games are some of the most famously buggy games of any prominence, so it is nothing new.
