It’s nice to see meta have learned from their own mistakes and are now trying to protect democracy profits.

Yes, I think you’re right. Looking at the news article I’d imagine it’d be Involuntary manslaughter. , unless they can find evidence that the father had a reason to kill her.
Manslaughter may be either voluntary or involuntary, depending on whether the accused has the required mens rea for murder.
Involuntary manslaughter arises where the accused did not intend to cause death or serious injury but caused the death of another through recklessness or criminal negligence. For these purposes, recklessness is defined as a blatant disregard for the dangers of a particular situation..

Whilst throwing a spatula at someone is unlikely to cause harm (and, I’d argue, is not reckless) throwing items around or play fighting in the kitchen could be seen as risky.
Ms Hall said she had got a kitchen knife out to cut garlic bread and Mr Vickers had inadvertently grabbed it while reaching for a spatula to throw, the court heard.
I think it’s consumer-electronics show, as opposed to an industrial-electronics show… Though I get your point.
It sounds really impressive to me. Looks like a lot of hours went into this, although the 100 hours on generating and selecting the voice lines would be more interesting if it was spilt between human labour and the GPU run time.
To me this is a great use case, it’s a free mod for an old game - I can’t imagine anyone could/would pay actual voice actors to do this.
- Synthetic Voice Generation: Tortoise-TTS can take hours to generate hundreds of vocal lines on a GPU. Additionally, you may try generating multiple samples at once, as the quality and delivery may vary with random seed.
- Quality Control: Filter out bad audio samples and select the best ones. If a vocal line isn’t working try generating more, correcting any issues with the text or rewriting it more phonetically. For example, rewriting “EVA” as “E.V.A.” or “II” as “Two”.
Rough estimates.
This seems reasonable to me … Unless the exported tech has non-military uses, but even then sanctions are part of the ways in which countries can apply pressure on Russia. https://neighbourhood-enlargement.ec.europa.eu/news/eu-adopts-15th-sanctions-package-against-russia-its-continued-illegal-war-against-ukraine-2024-12-16_en
Yeah, fair point, and add to that the price of training and supplying a Russian troop to kill that American soldier, $200k would be a good deal. But still the local salary is so low I think they could pay less.
I don’t doubt the Russians would pay for kills, but $200,000 per soldier killed seems very high!
I think the Russians could offer $20,000 and get a similar response considering the average monthly* salary in is $242 (US). - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_countries_by_average_wage
Apparently Iran was paying $1,000 in 2010.
In 2010, Iran reportedly paid Taliban fighters $1,000 for each U.S. soldier they kill in Afghanistan (equivalent to $1,400 in 2023).

many engines do not require this procedure. It depends on whether the engine is equipped with hydro-compensators: these are devices designed for automatic adjustment of the thermal gap. They work at the expense of the oil entering them from the engine (that is why, actually, and are called “hydro-compensators”) and completely exclude the necessity of periodic manual adjustment of valves.
What is he wearing? It looks to me like a hoody in a weird material.

It’s a doozy
Unless there’s some state level tax implications or a car that’s sensitive to rust in the desert that makes the car more or less valuable. I don’t see why the national average can’t be used?
There’s an argument to say a state with a lower average income should have lower fines, but really then might as well have fines based on income / networth

In the USA I think there’s an equivalent.

These are the rules for normal people…
is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.
There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:
The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.

I guess there’s a nice idea behind the process. But tbh, I don’t even remember what instance I joined. I tried joining a tech instance but my application was rejected … I’m really not that interested in applying like it’s a job or something. (Though I understand lots of IRL groups have application processes)
