Saw these cool hi-viz LED harnesses on a runner once. That one had a rainbow changing pattern. Looked very cool in the dark.

Edit: The thin straps were LED and changed color too, as well as the big bulky piece on the chest and back.

Pretty cool that he reverse-engineered it and 3D printed the fixtures. Wonder if Adam Savage has any original SFX rigs.

ChatGPT has literally devolved into "let me google that for you" in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's worked better for me when I throw complex tech questions at it, instead of wading through mountains of StackOverflow and Reddit 10-yo bilge.

You can't trust 2/3 of what ChatGPT generates or returns, and still have to know what you're doing. But it's a lot easier than clicking on 100 search results and finding 99 of them irrelevant.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are your 2024 World Series Champions after completing a gentleman's sweep of the New York Yankees in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

As a Giants fan, it's been tough rooting for the Dodgers, but they played pretty solid games without making too many mistakes. Everybody talks about Ohtani, but Freeman was absolutely phenomenal. The Yankees just folded in the last game. Given their payroll and star power, it was amazing to watch them make so many mistakes and then just give up.

All-in-all, a good series. Dodgers earned themselves a non-asterixed WS win. But at times, it was hard not feeling like here were two spoiled, rich-kid bullies having a foodfight.

Obligatory: FTD.

Ask about 'Independent Study' from your faculty adviser. If you don't have one, go to your Department head. If you don't have that, ask the Registrar.

Independent Study means you get to propose your own coursework and, if approved, get to do it and get credit for it. You still have to deal with faculty supervision but the subject is specific to you. Think about what you would love to learn and propose a way to get there.

Sheesh. How often do you need to reach for the power button? It's got solid state storage. Just flip it on its damn side and stop whinging.

Finally, a good use for drone and AI/ML technology!

VariPay: Surge-based salary calculator for HR (lemmy.ml)
 

From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes VariPay, a new Demand Based Salary calculator.

Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it.

The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live.

The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced AutoHR system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops.

It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

After years of feuding, the Giants have made peace with San Francisco’s seagulls (www.sfchronicle.com)

"As the ninth inning drew to a close at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on a recent afternoon, the mood in the stands was dour — the Giants were losing to the White Sox. But in the skies above the stadium, the real game was just getting started.

California and Western gulls glided overhead, scouting the bleachers for garlic fries and ketchup-smeared hot dog buns. The gulls soared steadily by the dozens as the bleachers emptied. Soon, the birds were left alone to engulf any leftover food they could find."
