However I agree that in purely domestic airports I don't see how you'd prevent general public from accessing bags. Except India, wherein you need a booked flight to even enter the airport.

Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction: 1.2

Coal mining: 3.1

Heavy and civil engineering construction: 1.8

Animal slaughtering and processing: 3.2

Wood product manufacturing (inc. sawmills): 4.2

Foundries: 5.1

Aerospace product and parts manufacturing: 1.6

Rail transportation: 3.4

Judging solely by the aforementioned linked data, at 4.8, Brownsville should be shut down by management to do a safety intervention. McGregor and Hawthorne should be under the limelight, too. Redmond and CC seem good.

These numbers are all total injury frequency rates per 100 employees or 200k hours (equivalent measures, assuming 50x 40-hour weeks)

Assuming the TC article that cites 4.27 at Starbase is accurate, it's well in excess of anything I'm used to seeing. Have a flick through here for industry-wide equivalents: https://www.bls.gov/web/osh/table-1-industry-rates-national....

Alternatively, here's some of the big players in various engineering, construction, mining, etc. heavy industries, taken directly from their websites/sustainability reports:

These metrics are reported on both internally and externally and make up major components of incentive payments. I'm completely used to management having 70+% of the incentive being tied to company performance, which is in turn strongly influenced by safety performance metrics.

I'm used to targets well under sub-1.0 TRIR at class 1 operators. Something like 4 would pause the project.

Remember, this is reportable injuries. not LTIs, not fatalities.

As an aside, as someone who works on major engineering construction projects, 4.27 per 100 people is huge. I'm used to sub-1.0, and something like 4.x would be stop-the-project-safety-intervention significant.

Just do it. Swap and let go of objectivity. Let your subjective experience guide you.

For me, the subjective joy of not having to fuck around with Microsoft's bullshit was worth multiples of having to mess around with technical crap to get a game working (spoiler: I nearly never have to do that because I play single player games, Dota and CS). I couldn't give less of a damn if my FPS in some random title is 10% slower than it would be in Windows. So long as it's playable, I benefit in spades from the trade-off.

I briefly worked on doing LHD-to-RHD car conversions and the devil was definitely in the detail.

“TV ads from betting agencies will be capped at three per hour, between 6am and 8:30pm, and banned completely from any live sports broadcasts during those hours”

I read that as even after 8:30pm, they’re still banned during live sports broadcasts. So none of this half-time odds update or whatever.

In many non-US countries, we consider the second-order effects due to having inviolable public safety nets. People who are their own victims due to vice are still afforded care because they’re still humans and citizens. That’s why we try to dissuade falling into those vices in the first place.

However, vices all come with negative aspects and it’s on us to discuss what the right overall balance is. IMO, when it comes to sports gambling advertisement, it’s way too freely available and normalised.

I’d also like to see a dramatic reduction of pokies (there’s an ABCA article from 2020 that I can’t currently find covering how much money Aussies saved by not being able to play them during lockdown, it’s staggering), but simultaneously fear for the mass closure of sports clubs and other third space venues if it were to happen. It’s a balancing act.

But at least for pokies, they’re deliberately walled away from the restaurant areas, etc. With TV ads, any easily-influenced kid watching their sporting heroes is exposed to this. It’s normalised along watching the sport itself. It’s no surprise there’s a direct conduit from that to young adults having gambling problems.

The deluge of gambling ads on TV during Friday night footy is absolutely appalling. There’s a very robust conduit for normalising sports gambling through advertisements around the broadcasts and it’s clearly influencing young adults. I’ve noticed a dramatic uptick in how common it is compared to when I was that age.

Sorry to be the one to ruin your concept of time.

It translates PDFs for me and gives me a good enough text dump in the console to understand what I’m being told to do. If the PDF is simple enough (a letter, for example). It doesn’t give me a structured English recreation of the PDF.

I’ll give it credit that it’s probably underpinning improved translation in e.g. google translate when I dump a paragraph of English and then copy the Chinese into an email. But that’s not really in the same ballpark.

The only other professional interaction I’ve had with it was when a colleague saw an industry-slang term and asked AI what it meant. The answer, predictably, was incredibly wrong but to his completely naive eyes seemed plausible enough to put in an email. As in, it was a term relating to a metallurgical phenomena observed by a fault and AI found an unrelated industry widget that contained the same term and suggested it was due to the use of said widget.

I don’t even really see the telltale AI writing signs of people using it to summarise documents or whatnot. Nor could I think how I could take what I do and use it to do it faster or more efficiently. So I don’t even think it’s being used to ingest and summarise stuff either.

In my experience, it’s far less useful outside of that. To the point where if AI disappeared tomorrow, it’d make approximately 0 difference to my overall life. I simply don’t find it useful, neither in my professional life nor my personal.

The only repeated use case I’ve found is throwing a PDF at it and asking it to translate the PDF. To its credit, it’s able to now OCR handwriting prior to translating which is nice.

It still doesn’t make a translated PDF. Yes, I know PDF is a shitty proprietary mess of undocumented functions. I don’t care - this is the vaunted AI, it’s apparently eating the entire jobs of programmers. Have it go create and A/B test an entire clean room implementation of the PDF format then.

Now it may be an underlying shim in a feature pipeline with which i interact but thats chasms apart from this “AI is about to eat all of our jobs”. It’s a tuned feature, such as improved translation, in that instance.

My experience from very sporadic use and observation of my colleagues is that, outside of tech, AI is much more of a “go and find the info, summarise it and give me the results” layer to the internet. It’s a slightly more convenient search engine. That’s it.

Maybe this will allow you to change it from a OneDrive folder to somewhere else?
