Technically we already had XCOM 3. Apocalypse wasn't half bad, despite the weird realtime/turn-based combat system.
Deshalb sollten verspätete Züge nicht aus der Statik fallen. Entweder pauschal als drei Stunden zu spät abrechnen oder separat führen.
95% Pünktlichkeit aber 10% Ausfallquote? Das wird ein schmaler Bonus.
Small? When I was a kid the local bakery had these in tennis ball size. Not enough rum to get you tipsy, though.
Das könnte man über die KFZ-Steuer angehen.
Niedrigere Steuer für Kleinstwagen grob nach japanischem Vorbild mit beschränkter Länge, Breite, Höhe und Leergewicht (weil Achslast die Straßenabnutzung beeinflusst). Höhere Steuer für in jeder Dimension übertriebene SUVs.
Das sollte von alleine die richtigen Anreize setzen.
They should've hired tea industry execs. If the tea industry can come up with grades like "Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe", they can come up with something beyond Ultra High Definition.
Maybe like this:
Not that these grades would only apply to displays that don't support picture-in-picture or split screen. Displays with those features ("broken" displays) would use the following equivalent grades instead:
Because your company makes you use Azure Virtual Desktop to connect to a VM and AVD's clipboard handling is as unreliable as anything else from Microsoft?
It would be so immensely amusing if one of those companies got fined by the EU for something – with the fine calculated from their revenues. That should lead to some interesting fireworks.
Depends on your definition of "win the fight". Do we fight to the death or until someone retreats? Does it count as a win if I die after the fight? If not, does any nonlethal level of injury constitute a loss? There's room for interpretation here.
(Also, I have no real idea of how much damage a determined eagle could do to me and I'm in no hurry to find out.)
Humans, animals, who cares? In fact, let's just go full phylum-agnostic!
5,000 deaths from nuclear power. (humans)
140,000 deaths from renewable energy. (wildlife)
70 million deaths from a single dose of mouthwash. (~100 miillion bacteria per ml of saliva, assuming vaguely 0.7 ml of saliva in the mouth)
Seriously, though, renewables are technically more lethal than nuclear but that's mainly because NPPs are usually designed for extreme bulk production and (AFAIK) most renewable deaths are due to construction accidents. Just look at that rooftop solar number. All in all, both renewables and nuclear are pretty safe as far as pure mortality goes. Beyond mortality we of course run into the nuclear waste issue but that's another story.
Coal is comically bad on so many levels it's amazing how insistent some people are on maintaining it. It even manages to lose to nuclear on the metric of radioactive pollution. That's... impressive, I suppose. I'd prefer it if it could be impressive in a history book.
Problem is, if your slang is too new it looks like gibberish. Of course you could try something else that stands out. Like badly translated idioms.
But it's probably jacket like pants. Even if you tear your ass open to make your writing look less 08/15 that doesn't mean everything's in butter. It's probably only a matter of time until LLMs will copper off that style as well and your clever plan turns into a zero number. And that's where the hare lies in the pepper: Your clarity goes over the Jordan and it ain't itching the LLMs' bean. It'll get trained on your stuff anyway and the cat bites its own tail.
Maybe bad translations aren't the solution either.
The same happens to people who write a lot and pay attention to their style, such as this gentleman. The way LLMs generate text is strongly influenced by what used to be considered a high-effort eloquent style. Varied sentence lengths, triplets, typographically correct punctuation, yada yada yada. Until recently, that stuff used to be the hallmark of professional writers (and Kenyans, apparently).
What were LLMs trained on? Professional writing, first and foremost. Books, scientific papers, op-eds, blog posts. So by default they take a polite, professional tone with all the flourishes and best practices that previously used to be de rigueur for authors and the like. So now what happens when someone used to "proper" writing writes something?
Everyone thinks it's AI slop because that's how LLMs talk. High effort now looks like low effort. And because tech bros immediately went on to develop "humanizing" tech, any other style will soon also look like low effort. And the same is true for art: Being able to produce highly detailed pictures with spectacular colors and shadows went from something impressive to evidence that you're just a random jackass with a ChatGPT subscription.
You can't really win anymore. Anything short of a live performance or a feature-length movie could feasibly have been generated by a fully automated content mill. That really sucks if you want to engage in creative expression of any kind and doubly so if you once thought you could make a living off of that.
"Until I die?!"
"No, until the end of the comic. We're in the last panel, what did you expect?"
"And the pile of corpses?"
"Oh yeah, they're dead alright."
