I'm having trouble looking for work for the past few months. Very few replies, the first "no" I got actually made me feel a bit more human.
I'm convinced that some of the jobs I've applied for or enquired about are not real or just for external-advertising-before-hire requirements. I've gotten some rude responses after daring to ask questions (eg: jobs funded by research money tend to have fixed funding start dates that might not be for another several months). Most straight up ignore me.
An old boss of mine thinks that my CV isn't conforming and mundane enough, so I'm giving his suggestions a go.
What sort of work are you looking at? I design electronics and get into arguments with computers.
Windows update fetches all sorts of things now. If the hardware advertises X device then Windows update will check if it has anything for it. Approved vendors can provide all sorts of guff. Historically that has included drivers that intentionally brick your devices. HP probably packaged up some software that updates the BIOS and got it into the Windows Update DBs.
This is something HP should have handled.
If a bad update is rolled out then it's the responsibility of the software maker partner (HP) and the distributor (Microsoft), not just one or the other.
Those laptops are THEIR products, not Microsoft’s.
Both Microsoft and HP have branding on their laptops and a responsibility post-sale for the reliability of their systems. Hardware, firmware and OS responsibilities are all party to this chain of failure.
And they claim cheap SMRs don't exist yet xD
Here they are in an MSY (Australia) catalog from 2012:
Ritmo == SHAW == A-Power, all were in-house brands at MSY. I suspect the 1500W and 1200W might have been the same thing with varying amounts of lying, but perhaps they did also size the components slightly differently.
You have nothing on the Tri-Fan 1200W https://www.crazysales.com.au/online-ritmo-force-1200-tri-fan-gaming-power-supply-2-3v-8373.html
I honestly didn’t read it
Please read it.

- Claim to be "made in Australia"
- Don't provide any photos of their production line or factory.
- Underpowered (max speed 100kmph)
Perhaps imported and then assembled in Australia?
Dear Take Two,
If you want to port GTA3 and VC to mobile then I would recommend looking at the re3/revc project. Fans have already put lots of effort into making the games work on modern systems, patching many bugs and making things more portable. Last I checked there already was a Nintendo Switch port.
Oh wait.
"Eat now, ..." is terribly depressing. It sounds like you're trading financial autonomy in exchange for another basic human right.

The article claims it's much closer than that:
Experts and festival-goers agreed on the likely cause of GHB's disproportionate overdose burden.
"As little as 1 millilitre difference can tip you from what you're looking for to what you're not looking for," Daniel Fatovich, chief investigator of EDNA, told Hack.
I tried to find some stuff to back this up. The "therapeutic index" is probably what I'm after (ratio of effective dose to dangerous dose), despite this technically not being a therapeutic use.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8843350/ - The narrow therapeutic index of GHB renders its use hazardous with poisoning or toxicity not uncommon with small titration of doses.
Thats... annoyingly nonspecific. A number for the T.I. would be a good educational tool.
This paper claims its around 5:1 to 8:1:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462042/ - Mortality rates after abuse of GHB are high, because there is only a narrow safety margin between a recreational dose and a fatal dose, which is only 5:1 to 8:1 [4-8]. Accordingly, accidental poisoning after recreational use of GHB is not uncommon as evidenced by admissions to hospital emergency departments for treatment [9, 10] and during forensic medical investigations of drug intoxication deaths [11-14].
Someone else in the comments here mentioned that the recreational dosage for different individuals varies, if that's true then it could make this worse.

Agreed. Most people don't understand what's in pills they have bought or the interactions with alcohol.
I think it will take insane amounts of effort to wrangle the model into not doing its own thing. Possibly more than the amount of effort it takes to animate manually.

SAAS isn't a one-off purchase, it's a rental with ongoing rental fees.
The intention of the wording of the petition is that it only covers "purchased" items. If a customer is given the impression that they are buying something then it should act like any other bought item. If they are given the impression they are renting something then it's out of scope, that's expected to abruptly die one day.

This means other people will misinterpret it too :(

Better call the tiberium harvester back in.
Safework NSW has been referred to ICAC over its handling of a $1.34 million contract for a device designed to protect workers from a potentially deadly disease, known as silicosis.
I could not find any mentions of these problems online. The article itself has no technical detail.
Looking forward to seeing what the actual problems are. It seems this is the first product to market.
Guesses based off the general subject matter:
- Silica concentrations probably vary depending on the exact position of your head, especially since it's heavy material. If you mount this sensor even a few meters away from a worker then it's readings could possibly become invalid, eg because an angle grinder is firing dust a different direction to the sensor.
- Silica is a slang term for a very big category of materials. Some might look completely different to others under certain laser observations, leading to some getting missed (bad) and others materials triggering false positives (leading to the sensor's screams being ignored by workers).
- Self-cleaning routines might be needed to stop it clogging up, otherwise the sensor starts reporting a higher baseline. They could either choose to report this ("pls clean me" light comes on) or ignore it (bury head in sand mode).
- Alternatively it's performance might actually be fine, but perhaps it's still being spruked inappropriately. Government involvement in funding the project might (?) magnify this problem.
Brad Banducci's retirement comes as Woolworths faces allegations of price gouging.

I accidentally held down the photoshoot button on my phone and ended up with a sequence of photos of the same scene taken over about 1 second. Interestingly the series of photos contains two very different styles of image:
The first photo looks how I'd expect. Sky is overblown from the clouds and foreground of the forest is dark.
The second photo has somehow magically made the sky darker and the foreground brighter.
At a guess I think a software algorithm is trying to separate the foreground and background, then individual levels adjustments are being applied to each region. Checkout these two close-up crops:
The first photo shows what I'd normally expect from a camera (bright light bleeding into the trunk), the second shows a white halo around the trunk on the sky (probably artificial/software blending from foreground to background). I think I can also see see some evidence of artificial sharpening on the trunk texture; or perhaps the photo was just better in focus (some of the photos were a bit blurrier than others).
I'm using a Pixel 3 with OpenCamera.
Does anybody know what this feature is called and more info about it? I'm particular interested in how binary it is -- it's either activated or not -- some some heuristic must be involved.
Internode and Westnet are no longer taking new internet and mobile customers as part of an eventual shutdown enacted by TPG.

Young people are continuing to bear the brunt of rising interest rates and rent while older Australians are still splashing out, new spending data indicates.
I want to make my own iron-on labels and patches (small scale, for fun).
Does anyone know what the name of the adhesive is? All I can find when I search online are people wanting to sell me pre-made patches, not information about their composition.
I presume it's some low melting point (<100degC) polymer. For all I know a wide variety of things might work (maybe even PETG 3d printer filament, which softens around 70degC, or hot glue shavings), but I'd like to see if I can at least find out the name of what's commercially used.
EDIT: Solved, see https://aussie.zone/comment/4326482
The real reason we warn kids to stay away from the tracks. It turns out that confectionery is cheaper than gravel in some parts of the world (and resists water erosion better because of the wrappers). Sadly they didn't anticipate anthropomorphic erosion events such as this leading to extended rail line outages.
Once the secret was out it became a nation-wide phenomena for kids to raid the tracks.
Railway engineers have been attempting to address this problem by tweaking the infill composition. A recent experiment involved infilling with only licorice, however it turns out some kids still like it. Local newspapers claim the railway engineers were quite confused by this result.
On the right the girl's hairdo reveals she had a recent near-miss at one of these railway digs. The adults now keep an eye on things -- if you pay close attention you will notice that there is actually an adult (or at least teenager) in this scene. Analyse the image closely and you might spot it.
An aspiring railway engineer at the top of the sketch, wearing blue, is pointing out a flawed sleeper. Either that or he's making a fat joke about one of his friends sitting on it.
The dirt desire-paths around the tracks show that locals regularly walk this line. Maybe it's safer than you think? These kids might not have been the first to raid this spot (how did they lift the sleepers?), I suspect the adults cracked it open sometime last night. Usually rail workers cover these sites with a tarp and signposts within a day of reporting.

Just some kids enjoying the outdoors. Someone must have split a pinata. One of the human kids is helping his aquatic friends get some of the chocolates.
Kids are kids and there's enough chocolate to share. It's the parents you've got to be worried about. "Hanging out with warmbloods again Rexy?" "No he can't visit later! We're going. Now.".
I guess the true power of childhood is not fearing new people. A 5yo family member of mine once got lost in the park, it turns out she had joined a random birthday party (and no-one had blinked an eyelid).

I enjoyed this review (and that of Kings Quest 1) thoroughly. I am very glad I did not try to play it myself, The Scam Bridge would have destroyed me.
I now feel some questions about a few other games that I've played before are answered -- they copied some of Kings Quest's style and feel. Vague memories of a Trogdor game are now haunting me.
I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It's not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.
