60 years of propaganda masquerading under the banner of legitimate News organizations will do that to a population.

Is this the law that has exceptions for undercover, environmental, and weather?

Meaning the only reason to be against it is to avoid accountability?

ICE isn’t new, it was created back in 2003 when the Department of Homeland Security was created post-9/11.

The lack of any training… that’s new.

He will. He just reminded them of what their oath already says, and that it only applies to lawful orders. “Just following orders” does not protect you from prosecution for following illegal orders.

The UCMJ does not define what “lawful” means directly. However, the Rules for Courts-Martial say that an order is lawful, “unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority of the official issuing it.”

The two oaths, for context:

The Oath of Enlistment (for enlisted):
“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

The Oath of Office (for officers):
“I, _____, having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.”

Fucking autocorrect. Yeah.

That’s exactly why they’ve been defunding schools for decades and more recently demonizing higher education as “woke”, which they have no actual definition for. Woke is whatever they don’t want, they never have a definition for it.

Of course, because woke just means understanding reality not fantasy.

For what? They’re already buying shit the military has said for years they don’t need (things like Tanks and APCs) because Congress uses it as a jobs program.

If you’re eating whole fruits and vegetables as also recommended… the fiber should come with them. Fiber doesn’t just come from enriched processed foods and supplements.

These seem like sane recommendations somehow.

Encouraging limiting highly processed food, eating whole foods like fruits and vegetables, incorporating healthy fats, prioritizing protein-rich meals, dairy with no added sugars, and reducing refined carbohydrates.

He wasn’t even appointed to investigate by Merrick Garland until nearly 18 months after he took office, which was already 2 months after the Insurrection.

There was enough time if they hadn’t waited to decide whether to even bother with defending the country.

The end result is the US auto industry as a whole being left behind by the rest of the world as other countries expand EV infrastructure and limit or even eliminate fossil fuels across the board.

How do all these racist right wingers look like dipshits. Like every single one of them you can just tell by looking at them somehow.

Imagine where we would be if Merrick Garland hadn’t taken 18 months to appoint the Special Counsel in the first place.

Yes. By necessity. The grid has to be kept in sync within a fairly small frequency range to operate. Every generator that is grid connected, is spinning at the same frequency. It is a small enough window that you can use it as a reliable clock.

Every time the power load changes they have to compensate with increasing or decreasing the power available to balance within the small frequency window. A deviation as small as 0.5 Hz can cause some protective relays to trip and bring down sections of the grid.

This is also one of the major reasons why it takes so long to bring the grid back online after a blackout. They have to balance power output with the load in each section as it is brought online so it doesn’t just disconnect itself again immediately from an imbalance.

In many states postmark dates are used for verifying mail in voting deadlines.

That’s who he last talked to, so of course. Next time he talks to Zelensky it will be about what Ukraine wants.

They won’t. They won’t pay to completely recreate things like Silicon Valley and Hollywood elsewhere.

Just like they’re not leaving New York despite saying they would. All the Finance infrastructure is there, they won’t recreate it from scratch elsewhere.

Depends on the exact scenario.

We’re also dealing with language differences. English is not the developer’s first language. What may seem a clear sentence to a native speaker, could be easily misinterpreted/mistranslated to something similar, but different enough that the answer changes.

It seems that the AI use was early in development, and limited to temporary placeholders that were going to be replaced. Since they were patched out within days of release, that seems to imply they already had replacement assets on hand, they were just missed during final checks before release.

The answer from the devs also changed prior to the awards show that implies that they may have had an updated interpretation of the qualification question or answer. If they thought the question was about AI use in the final product, then accidentally missing a placeholder swap shouldn’t be disqualifying. Likewise, early experimentation with the tech and then deciding not to use it probably should not disqualify either. But if the qualification is a hard yes/no with absolutely no context or consideration whatsoever, then that’s a different outcome, and hence them clarifying for the awards team.

Personally I think the hard limit without any room for consideration or interpretation is a shit qualification. Especially considering that isn’t really the case for most awards. Look at the definition of “indie” for example. There’s a half dozen different interpretations people have ranging from having to be self published, avoiding just large publishers, or just the publisher not having creative influence. That’s a lot of interpretation comparatively.

We’re not talking about a development team of 100+ artists here and a company forcing them to work 80 hour crunch weeks leading up to launch like much of the industry.

I don’t know exactly how their 30 or so team members break down for specialties, but I’m willing to bet we’re talking maybe 5 asset artists. Making the tens or hundreds of thousands of concept art pieces, and in game assets. Their time is finite and much better spent working on final assets than making placeholders that will just be replaced later. Experimenting with AI and dripping a placeholder in during month 6 that never gets touched again, and the final asset is made but missed when swapping them in at the end of development isn’t exactly damning

Literally removing work from a human(concept artist)

It’s not really “removing” work from a human, it’s utilizing the time of a very small and limited team more wisely. The AI didn’t replace a human, there was never going to be an additional person hired just to make that placeholder, at worst it just let the existing artists spend more time making final assets.
