It has been estimated by the researchers Lofts and Adley that Hamilton wrote around 100 million words or the equivalent of 1,200 average-length novels, making him the most prolific author in history. He is known to have created over 100 schools that were the subjects of his stories as well as writing many non-school stories. More than 5,000 of his stories have been identified, of which 3,100 were reprinted.
> massive overspend until someone notices and has to painstakingly go round checking what all your instances are for.
and when you reduce your companies AWS spend by 30% (which is usually easy) you get a good review/bonus/promotion. So not really much incentive to pay too much attention to cost until you can get recognition for doing so.
If copyright was shorter blockbuster movies could still recycle comic book characters from the 50s. It just means that any filmmaker could do it rather than just who can afford to pay Marvel/DC
Except that the timezone in British Columbia has now changed. Lets say you stored the appointment for November in UTC.
So you set the time to 10pm UTC to match 2pm British Columbia. But because the timezone for BC has changed that 10pm now matches 3pm in British Columbia
So the Dentist is expecting you at 2pm and you come along at 3pm
Did you read the article. Half the problem is the government regulations ( stairwells, elevators, parking ) that force the developer to build things worse.
Definitely agree in some cases. eg where I live ( Auckland, New Zealand ) plenty of people read stories in the local paper or facebook that highlight every single incident in the Central city. So they are scared to go there.
Reality is thousands of white-collar workers (including me), normal locals and many tourists of all ages. Small number of homeless. But no more dangerous than any other city (and a lot safer during the day and early evening )
But if you did the exercise 10 years ago you'd find the lyrics were originally about the songwriter's daughter and the band tweaked it to be able the the band manager's hypochondriac ex boyfriend.
Then they hired a session singer to sing it and mixed in several takes and then adjusted the sound with various tools to produce just the right sound. Plus the Chorus was actually from some country song from 1972 that had been completely changed
and the actual "band" is actually just two guys who hire session players to do most of the music while they handle the keyboard and mixing
I'm using it too. Unfortunately their Android support is a little rough these days. Their official client stopped being developed and while there are options it isn't straightforward
They charge for a lot of things "by the hour". Things like S3, load balancers, storage.
Deleting those when a customer hits a limit will lose customer data or remove things that might be hard to add back. The "I hit my AWS limit and they deleted all my data" headlines will result.
and excluding those things makes the limit soft again..
At the extreme end you'll get invited to conferences but further down you could have other products you are pushing. Even non-AI related that takes advantage of your "smart person" public persona.
Pretty common for authors to get people to pre-order their books so when they go on sale they top the chart for that day (the book's release day) in their category.
The problem is that even if the US elects some nice centrist democrats for the 14 years every country is going to be thinking "What if they elect Trump v2?"
I mean the US already re-elected him after the first time so it wasn't a one off. US allies are already increasing defense spending and diversifying supply chains (especially for weapons) away from the US.
Would you bet the safety of your country on the US being stable going forward?
This policy has been shared a lot by the anti-AI crowd over the last week. They are celebrating it as a major site saying no to AI.
It seems a smaller "win" than most think. Just discourages wholesale rewriting and creation of new articles using AI. Assistance with editing is explicitly allowed.
