It is effectively the case. Given the influence that California and New York hold, and the size of their markets, they can effectively create state policy that makes national compliance a foregone conclusion. If you look at the example of “known to the state of California to cause cancer“ Labels, you can see how this works in action. 
I’ve no idea why this thread is so jumbled. Did comments get removed/moved?
I’m not talking about general LLM and translation. I’m speaking specifically about the garbage Gizmodo is pumping out with AI generated articles lacking factual credibility and translation being of poor quality. It doesn’t mean I’m a Luddite. It means I’m criticizing Gizmodo using poor quality tools to replace human beings who were doing the job well.
If the quality of what is output by automation is crap, then, yes. And in this case, the quality is crap. Ergo…
Gizmodo is and has been the worst for a long time. In fact, that entire network of sites has been a rats nest of garbage for years. Unsurprising that they’d go this route.
It’s cool. Just ask me to leave it at the door. Everyone is entitled to Donald Duck it in their own home.
90% of my deliveries are “leave at door”. 5-6% of the “hand it to me” orders are normal and friendly encounters. The other “hand it to me” orders are always weirdos. “Want some weed”, “come in and drink with us”, topless women (who are usually drunk or high themselves), hoarder houses with cats spilling out the door… It’s not weekly, but it’s more than once a month that someone comes to the door in less than a fully clothed state.
You should also be able to deliver a pizza without being hit on. I’m a dad side-hustling to take care of my family. I don’t need women answering the door topless and making “do I get extra sausage” jokes. And I also don’t need old ladies hitting on me when I bring their heavy groceries to the door for a Safeway delivery.
Whether someone is the deliverer or the deliveree, just get the transaction done and move on with your day. No harassment needed.
You’re correct. I was being intentionally obtuse to agree about the sentiment, but also further the lament. Kind of a “being funny to myself (and maybe no one else)” moment, but publicly expressed.
I’ll recognize it, but I’d rather not appreciate it. I’d appreciate it if half the country had never been infatuated with an historically proven con-man with delusions of grandeur. Legitimately one of the must frustrating realities for someone who believes in democracy to grapple with is that half the population MUST be less than average intelligence (and even some of greater intelligence will choose willful ignorance).
Aside from my iPhone, keyboard, trackpad, and the puck end of my watch charger I own nothing that doesn’t use USB C at this point.
I’ve had an EcoTank for two years and have been VERY happy with it. My only complaint is that I should have gone for a model that allows double sided printing.
The price on the ink is great, that you can fill individual colors as needed is nice, and the print quality is very good.
I find that Apple Maps gives very solid arrival estimates. When I used Google Maps it always seemed to over or undershoot the length of time it would take me to get where I was going in the moment. I also find that Apple’s voice guidance seems to be better and clearer about what it wants you to do. I switched over to it exclusively about two years ago.
