There's some press coverage about it this week, mostly in shallow corporate media that simply parrots the official talking points, does not bother to investigate accuracy or anything like t hat. They focus on "openings". But they count fake "openings" and assert there's a rise in "openings". What a

06:01 schestowitz[TR2]; I can attest to that phenomenon from personal experience inside Sirius Open Source. I've long been aware of that because we were receiving CVs and detailed job applications from people. And we all knew there were no openings. So these people just wasted their time. They must have stumbled upon pages like this:

06:01 schestowitz[TR2];
06:01 schestowitz[TR2]; This is 2025. This screenshot is minutes old. Some of the above openings did exist... more than 5 years ago! Why were those not taken down or commented out? It has been ages and ages since then, so the decision to keep this misinformation online was very much conscious.

06:01 schestowitz[TR2]; One anecdote I am 100% certain about is that here in the UK some places hire people on lousy 3-months contracts, knowing in advance (and even openly admitting) there's no prospect of retention. In other words, they advertise job openings, but they know upfront that those are 3-month "gigs", not proper jobs with holiday pay or job security.

06:04 IsambardPrince; It's not new for Walmart to just post jobs it doesn't have open figuring people quit or get fired so fast that putting them up and taking them down would be a waste of time.
06:04 IsambardPrince; If you don't get a call, there's your clue. They want it to be your time you wasted, not theirs.
06:05 IsambardPrince; They also have a very long "personality test" designed by psychiatrists. It's like 100 questions and it decides whether to trash your application based on this as well.
06:05 IsambardPrince; It has a lot of trick and rephrased and badly worded questions.
06:05 IsambardPrince; So that they can discriminate against non-English speakers and people of lower intelligence who can't figure out immediately what the question actually asks.
06:06 IsambardPrince; Even McDonald's does this now, and it's basically designed so they can outsource discrimination to a company that "helps hire better employees".

06:15 schestowitz[TR2]; then we can follow up
06:15 IsambardPrince; Illinois recently passed a law on pay.
06:15 IsambardPrince; In most States they don't even tell you what the job pays.
06:16 IsambardPrince; They make you play a guessing game with the interviewer and they hope you'll guess low.
06:16 IsambardPrince; And then they really do pay you that.
06:16 IsambardPrince; It wasn't until just recently that States started making places list the actual salary or starting wage.
06:17 IsambardPrince; I found out when I worked at Walmart that I was making over 20% more money per hour than a woman who was doing the same job as me.
06:17 IsambardPrince; Then we got talking and it turned out most of the men were making more than the women and it was a pattern.

06:24 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I meant to say non-native English speakers.
06:24 IsambardPrince; You know, they don't want people with a core understanding of English.
06:24 IsambardPrince; Even if it may be functional.
06:25 IsambardPrince; I think it may have something to do with Walmart's roots in the south. Those States down there are always passing "English as the State Language" laws and trying to make it hard to get by for people who don't primarily speak English in the home.
06:26 IsambardPrince; A little over a decade ago, iirc, Alabama passed an "Immigration law" and scared many of them out of the State before the Supreme Court blocked it.
06:26 IsambardPrince; What will the Supreme Court give Trump?
06:26 IsambardPrince; Well, we're starting to see signs of this with Biden vs. Texas aren't we? The State came in and replaced a public park with tons of razor wire for the benefit of the Fox News cameras.
06:27 IsambardPrince; They claimed that CBP officers weren't allowed in, and Texas State Troopers watched a woman and some kids drown in a river while they did nothing to help.
06:27 IsambardPrince; Imagine how much more inhumane this will get with a cooperative president.
06:28 IsambardPrince; I don't want to let them into the country, but letting people drown when you could help them easily is too much.

08:00 schestowitz[TR2]; "Though I dont have a certain answer to this question, I am skeptical. AI decision support is potentially valuable to practitioners. Accountants might value an AI tools ability to draft a tax return. Radiologists might value the AIs guess about whether an X-ray suggests a cancerous mass. But with AIs tendency to hallucinate and confabulate, theres an increasing recognition that these AI judgments require a
08:00 schestowitz[TR2]; human in the loop to carefully review their judgments."
08:00 schestowitz[TR2]; "In other words, an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate."
08:00 schestowitz[TR2]; "Just take one step back and look at the hype through this lens. All the big, exciting uses for AI are either low-dollar (helping kids cheat on their homework, generating stock art for bottom-feeding publications) or high-stakes and fault-intolerant (self-driving cars, radiology, hiring, etc.)."
08:01 schestowitz[TR2]; "As someone who specifically works adjacent to Radiologists working in AI and Deep Learning they have been working on imaging specific AI since long before the current bubble. It is about carefully training rigorous models on controlled data sets to improve accuracy and efficiency. They presume multiple layers of QA and project better overall outcomes. Dealing with PHI absolutely limits how and what kind of third parties are invol
08:01 schestowitz[TR2]; ved. Having dedicated experts working on refining specific closed AI systems is required to avoid poisoning.
08:01 schestowitz[TR2]; My point being that AI is more than just the current bubble and those more focused incremental change areas will have long term impact. The current AI hype and fraud you discuss will also have negative long term impacts but that is no different than any other corporate fraud bubble."

13:28 TR News; How many OTHER cartoons AND other articles did Bezos Spike and Kill, other than the Harris endorsement? Bezos is just a mobster, inspired by his buddy Trump.
13:30 TR News; Techrights does not censor sites, it responds or rebuts. If nobody was allowed to say something false, there would be nothing to rebut. We don't want a society like that. We need arguments to win on merit, and for that we need some lies aired (and then properly addressed).
13:31 TR News; Bezos bought media, but should not be allowed to. Because he clearly does not respect how media works. He cannot tolerate criticism. He also protects a convicted criminal, Donald Trump, and covers up for him.

21:50 IsambardPrince; It's fucking freezing in here.
21:51 IsambardPrince; The landlord basically turned off the heat in the hallways, and the tenants he moved in like to sit there with their windows hanging open when it's like 15 degrees Fahrenheit outside with snow on the ground.
21:52 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi said a while back, maybe he's just trying to extract as much money as he can before this guy takes the building away from him, and they're dusting off the passports for a trip back to India.
22:04 IsambardPrince; "They tried to create an official Ministry of Disinformation in this administration in case the media opposed them and to pressure "social" media to delete, censor, and oppress anyone who went against the party line.
22:04 IsambardPrince; I don't recall ever being banned from anything while any other president was in office and then after Biden's Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, it started happening to many people on a dime.
22:04 IsambardPrince; They're done trying to persuade anyone by debate and then they tried deleting them instead, but that didn't work either, and now Facebook and many others have slammed it into full reverse and gotten rid of biased fact checkers and the heavy handed censorship, which was automatic and often wrong to keep labor costs down.
22:04 IsambardPrince; We're back in an era where free speech is going to prevail, and the people who tried to take it away from us were exposed, flushed into the open, and voted out of power because they overplayed their hand.
22:04 IsambardPrince; Most of California's problems are California's own doing. If they hadn't stolen billions of tax dollars to spend on immigration fugitives and chased all the businesses out with $20 minimum wage, decriminalized retail theft, and high taxes, they would have working fire hydrants.
22:04 IsambardPrince; During what they say was the worst drought in State history, they had environmental nuts lobbying to drain Hech Hetchy and deprive an entire region (mostly the Bay Area) of the only source of water they had, simply because if it sounds good in California without any logical thoughts being put into it, that's what they want to do.
22:04 IsambardPrince; In some cases, their argument is so stupid that it's literally, "Because that's the way the river looked before humans.", which shows that a lot of liberals are just misanthropes, who devalue human life, and hate raising the living standard for people. Even down to knowing that fresh water will come out of the faucet when you turn it on.
22:04 IsambardPrince; Then after all the rain they got, Hetch Hetchy is full, so if none of the braindead stupid people living in San Francisco blow up the dam because of salmon migration or something idiotic, like they did with the hydroelectric dams on the other rivers, then they have years worth of water.
22:04 IsambardPrince; California is too small to be a country, too large to be a mental health hospital.
22:04 IsambardPrince; My guess with the water is that it's like everything else that the left can take control of by making a shortage and then telling you how much you're allowed to have. It just seems to get them off somehow when they're in control of how long your showers are, what day you can wash your car, and if you can even get a glass of water to drink."

22:07 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Burning down is basically the best thing that could happen to LA though.
22:08 IsambardPrince; They say wildfire. Maybe it was like the freeway bridge that was burned down by homeless crazies and illegal aliens.
22:08 IsambardPrince; LA burned down. "Wildfire". "Climate Change." "Supply lines." "Ever Given".
22:09 IsambardPrince; Meanwhile, it was a stack of pallets under a freeway bridge some guy with a heroin needle hanging from his arm was burning.
22:09 IsambardPrince; :D

22:18 MinceR; yo dawg, we heard you like backdoors...
22:20 IsambardPrince; "I got told off once by a fifteen year old (now in his 20s) that told me that Linux on my computer and an Android phone meant I was "definitely doing some illegal shit" and then as soon as he turned 18, he signed a finance agreement on a new car, didn't get GAP insurance, and drove it into a tree.
22:20 IsambardPrince; :)
22:20 IsambardPrince; Then he posted a GoFundMe. There's a place to go when you're broke, honey. It's called work.
22:20 IsambardPrince; Broke people buying a brand new car. Sure there's some bank out there who will loan you the money (and laugh about it), so you can turn $40,000 into $12,000 in 5 years, if you pay off the loan.
22:20 IsambardPrince; What kind of a deal is that? Then he skipped loan payoff insurance that probably cost $500, wrapped his car around a tree, and owed the bank $6,000 and wanted other people to pay it for him. People who work for a living. Meanwhile, he's got $400 Apple pods hanging out of his ears. What a dumbass.
22:20 IsambardPrince; This is the result of a few things, the self-esteem movement, No Child Left Behind, and parents who never said "You're wrong." about anything.
22:20 IsambardPrince; My generation generally wasn't like this. I don't know when this started, but it's not good.
22:20 IsambardPrince; Dave Ramsey said it best. GenZ is full of people who are either the best people in the world, or the worst.
22:20 IsambardPrince; I encounter people every day in that group who are so stupid that my mind just stops cold turkey and I'm thinking "Oh my God. Oh my God..."

22:25 MinceR; :>
22:28 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I just noticed that the guy in front of him had Hepatitis B and then the guy at the machine told him to stick the thing up his butt without even cleaning it.
22:28 IsambardPrince; Then in his mouth.

22:32 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Yesterday I had one of those electricity scammers come to my door. He said he was with the city. Then he said my landlord sent him.
22:32 MinceR; :>
22:33 IsambardPrince; I said, "Okay, which city department are you with. I'm going to check with the police and you can explain that to them."
22:33 IsambardPrince; And then he said "I'm not with the city."
22:33 IsambardPrince; I said, "But you just said you're with the city."
22:34 IsambardPrince; And he said, "No, I have a permit from the city."
22:34 MinceR; "if that makes you more likely to give me money, then i'm with the city; if not, then i'm not."
22:34 IsambardPrince; I said, "Which department gave you the permit? Does the permit have a number on it."
22:34 IsambardPrince; Then he says, "Here's my ID. Your landlord said we can come out here."
22:34 IsambardPrince; I said, "Oh, you talked to my landlord?"
22:34 IsambardPrince; He says "Yeah."
22:35 IsambardPrince; I say, "What's my landlord's name? The one that gave you permission to be here.
22:35 IsambardPrince; I was texting the police and keeping him busy until they got here.
22:36 IsambardPrince; The guy was so dumb he didn't even suspect I was just stringing him along so he would stand there for a few minutes.
22:36 IsambardPrince; <@MinceR> "if that makes you more likely to give me money, then i'm with the city; if not, then i'm not."
22:37 IsambardPrince; They want to see your electric bill, then they change your suppliers by forging your electronic signature, and then they get $100.
22:37 IsambardPrince; That's if it doesn't turn into a home invasion.
22:37 IsambardPrince; One of them did that a while back and didn't realize that the guy in the house had a gun. So he forced his way in and got shot.

22:40 TR Bot; Why would Trump want Greenland and the Panama Canal? Here's what's behind U.S. interest. - CBS News
22:40 IsambardPrince; He wants Greenland because of all the green land they have there.
22:40 IsambardPrince; Yo dawg, I heard y'all had green land!
22:40 IsambardPrince; I like green land.
22:40 IsambardPrince; :D
22:40 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Don't worry, the EU will stop us.
22:40 IsambardPrince; France said so....
22:40 IsambardPrince; HAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA France
22:41 MinceR; lol
22:41 MinceR; well, at least france has nukes
22:41 IsambardPrince; You know, this is what those faggoty European countries get for expecting the United States to be their military.
22:41 MinceR; so they could start a global thermonuclear war
22:41 IsambardPrince; The EU is going to break apart.
22:41 MinceR; and that seems to be the only thing that matters anymore
22:42 MinceR; i'm not sure about that
22:42 IsambardPrince; France will not use nukes to defend anything that's not their own soil.
22:42 MinceR; it might just become part of the "russian federation"
22:42 IsambardPrince; The French Oblast.
22:42 MinceR; the "autonomous" "republic" of france.
22:42 MinceR; oops, i left of "people's"
22:42 MinceR; and "democratic"
22:43 IsambardPrince; We are talking about the same France that surrendered to the Nazis because they didn't want to break a fingernail, right?
22:43 IsambardPrince; That France?
22:43 MinceR; i think they were in a rather rough shape when they surrendered
22:43 MinceR; and they probably got nukes so that they can do something about the nazis the next time they try to invade
22:43 IsambardPrince; They dug some trenches. The Germans went through a forest instead and bypassed the defenses and got the French by surprise.
22:44 IsambardPrince; The French did Nazi that coming.
22:44 MinceR; no, they built walls with all sorts of defenses
22:44 IsambardPrince; Oh walls, oh that's better.
22:44 MinceR; expecting the nazis not to invade belgium and just go around, iirc
22:44 IsambardPrince; Yeah, Belgium will probably stop these guys, right?
22:44 IsambardPrince; :D
22:45 MinceR; dunno, maybe they hoped to have time to move their forces to that border while the nazis are busy taking over belgium
22:45 MinceR; and then it probably happened much faster than expected
22:46 IsambardPrince; Busy taking over Belgium huh?
22:46 IsambardPrince; In two days?
22:47 IsambardPrince; My point is that the EU suffers from the language and cultural barriers and the nationalism that existed before the EU.
22:47 IsambardPrince; And that's what will ultimately cause it to fail, officially fail.
22:47 MinceR; no, that is not what the EU suffers from
22:47 IsambardPrince; It's already failed.
22:47 IsambardPrince; It let Hungary in.
22:47 MinceR; what the EU suffers from is cowardice and lack of vision
22:48 MinceR; they don't dare try to uphold their own rules or enforce them against their own member states
22:48 MinceR; they don't dare to build up a military force to defend themselves against invaders
22:48 IsambardPrince; Well, it gets that when it has France (cowardice) and Hungary (lack of vision, dictatorial, fascist, Russian sympathizer/satellite).
22:48 MinceR; please
22:48 MinceR; hungary is far more coward than france could ever dream of being
22:48 IsambardPrince; I don't think it's cowardice, really.
22:48 IsambardPrince; They elected Orban's party to begin with.
22:48 MinceR; hungarians have a history of supporting genocidal maniacs but don't dare execute one of their own
22:49 IsambardPrince; It's probably just that most of your fellow countrymen are on the same page as Putin.
22:49 MinceR; orban's party campaigned successfully on a platform of cowardice
22:49 IsambardPrince; And want to be absorbed.

22:49 IsambardPrince; They've never liked Ukraine.
22:49 MinceR; hungarians don't dare do anything about it other than cheering them on from the sidelines and betraying NATO and the EU
22:50 IsambardPrince; As a part of the USSR, Ukrainians were treated harshly.
22:50 IsambardPrince; The Russians saw it as a food basket, and source of labor and conscripts.
22:50 IsambardPrince; They put heavy industry and dangerously poorly designed nuclear power there.
22:50 IsambardPrince; Stuff they didn't want in Russia.
22:50 MinceR; as for lack of vision, there was some expectation of turning the EU into a major power, but no plan or willingness to do anything about it
22:50 IsambardPrince; Of course the wind blows, but leave it to the Russians not to figure that out.
22:51 IsambardPrince; You know. Go digging in the woods near the worst radioactive disaster in history.
22:51 MinceR; of course the fact that the enemies of the EU have puppets in the EU (mainly orbanistan) doesn't help
22:51 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Are the Russians that badly educated that they don't know what happened there in 1986?
22:52 MinceR; i don't know
22:52 MinceR; at least for a while, their state definitely denied anything happening there
22:57 IsambardPrince; Then admitted something happened, but it was minor and under control.
22:57 IsambardPrince; Then eventually that it was a catastrophe.
22:57 IsambardPrince; MinceR, The Party always has everything under control.
22:57 IsambardPrince; Speaking of living in a concrete shitbox that can't hold any heat.
22:58 IsambardPrince; That's what this place is.
22:58 IsambardPrince; This winter, I've resorted to four comfortors on my bed and a king-size mattress tent.
22:59 IsambardPrince; You zip it up and eventually enough body heat gathers in the tent that it's several degrees warmer than the room.

23:00 IsambardPrince; I could just pay the electric company....
23:00 IsambardPrince; "NEVER!!!"
23:00 MinceR; do you use electric heating?
23:01 IsambardPrince; Yeah, that's the only option.
23:01 MinceR; with a heat pump?
23:01 IsambardPrince; There's baseboard heaters. There's no way to turn them off at the thermostat.
23:01 IsambardPrince; The lowest setting makes them turn on at 63 degrees F.
23:01 IsambardPrince; So I killed them at the circuit breaker.
23:02 MinceR; ic
23:02 IsambardPrince; I have an oil filled radiator heater that plugs into the wall if I need the room to be a bit warmer.
23:02 IsambardPrince; I might plug it in if the temperature outside gets so awful that it dips under 60 in here.
23:03 IsambardPrince; My lease (which goes up about 11% every year now, in a country with "2.4% inflation"....says I have to keep it at 66 F in here.
23:03 IsambardPrince; But nobody checks.
23:03 IsambardPrince; :P
23:05 IsambardPrince; I keep a small dehumidifier going in the bathroom. Just enough to keep the toilet tank from condensating and dripping onto the floor.

23:57 nobody; IsambardPrince: on amazon they're selling electric bed heaters
23:58 nobody; those perfectly match the matrace size, got a timer, and can be switched 20/40/60W
23:59 nobody; the benefit, with very little energy only the small space that needs heat is isolated
