Interesting. Given the prices of some of the upscalers, I imagine they will charge quite a bit for this device.

I agree. I viewed those as "a solid justification of why". Also, I'd expect there to be some grouping or consideration of job titles and organizations.

No body knows unless real leaks come out. Did they do it strategically? Or by numbers across the board like people are implying?

No. I DO believe lines of code was used as metric. It's a fast way to protect the top code contributors. I just don't think it's the only thing taken into consideration like people are implying...

There are countless teams and examples for it being a horrible metric to solely fire on.

I just think it's not right to jump to conclusions like Dictator Elon fires engineers with low LOC.

All we have to go off of is they had review meetings where they had to show off the code they contributed and Elon "suggested to query for lines committed."

I have still yet to see evidence that people were fired for their "lines of code added" as everyone is implying.

Would it not be reasonable to take into consideration a employees LOC as a metric?

If you're an engineer and made very few code contributions without a solid justification of why, I'd expect you to be on the chopping block...

These headlines are misleading and people are jumping the gun making assumptions as always.

Deleting 50k lines of code still counts as lines of code changed...

Current example would be the filters that modify appearance that's used a ton on influencer platforms. We've been photo shopping for years but now anyone can create a false identity online. The bad side of this is like catphishing and unrealistic body standards causing non obvious mental health issues across generations.

Future would be continuing to push the boundaries of auto formatting filtering styles based on your preference or the populations preference. Scamming, impersonation, money to be made from gullible people.

This is just the surface. I'm sure there are tons of fictional books exploring this or people with more destructive ideas.

Just because I'm terrified and am listing the bad, that doesn't mean I don't recognize the good that can come from it. I'm not sure if that out weighs the bad yet.

I'm terrified of our current and future problems around this and similar tech.

I get multiple PayPal requests for money from random throw away accounts with messages ranging from begging for money for something or just phishing invoices like this.

Worst part is that the only option via email is to "Pay". I have to log into PayPal then go through multiple clicks to reject the money request.

Why can't I report & deny in one click?

Same, the title's casing should be updated.

It kinda sucks now but I agree.

Gather town is pretty awesome. My team held a 300 person internal event on that platform. People seemed to really enjoy it. They got a hang of it pretty fast without prior experiences playing games.

I do like the idea of an online proximity focused office space but I couldn't get my team to buy into the idea of it. Async messaging on slack is preferred.

I can't help but think this is linked to an Apple eink display prototype.
