They probably dont know that its a title, but it doesn't really matter. The character is colloquially known as Khaleesi, and thats what they are naming their kid after.

I don't think its a good name either, given the TV series has largely fizzled, so its connection won't make sense in a few years time, but being a title first doesn't exclude it by itself (IMHO).

Mmmm, no, very mammalian.

That isn't really that unusual, King and Queen are both used as names, so its not that weird. Steven King, Queen Latifah (stage name, but still), King C Gillete (inventor of the safety razor)

Just to lightly temper your expectations, the OCR isnt perfect, and you may need to add your own tags/text, but its still an awesome system.

At least for paperless, one of the selling points is OCR plus text search. Do you can dump in all your receipts as photos, and then 3 years later, search "lawnmower" and find the receipt for it. (I dont know if this applies for this software, but its very nice in paperless)

Is this a fork of paperless?

Onshape? Its free for most normal 3d printing stuff, and if you get used to it, its pretty similar to the big boy AutoCAD if you need to use that later..

Are you familiar with carnival mirrors?

Some oddly specific numbers there for the estimates. Would like to see some R values for the insulation, but $15k does buy a lot of good insulation, so its promising. (Edit: just saw your other reply, would have to see what the builders actually put in to know more)

I wonder how skilled one needs to be to assemble these houses? If the instructions are good, and its not too hard, could save some more money on the labor side of things? You can do your own electrical work in NZ right?

Someone can chip in with actual numbers, but pine is a goodish insulator, but it depends on the thickness. Corrugated iron is a terrible insulator, and the real important part is what's in between. I can't help but think that if it was good stuff, they would be proudly spruiking it in the article :/

Yeah, you can get a shed from bunnings and assemble it yourself for a few hundred dollars, doesn't make it a good house though.

No mention of insulation, which should be a top priority for low income housing, otherwise the heating and cooling costs will be crazy.

Also, doesnt fisher and paykel have a fairly poor reputation for reliability?

And on a bad day, they have to pull one together. :D

I wonder if they were infected with something that was exploiting that CVE?

Edit: Here is another tinfoil theory: the windows security subsystems special cases inetpub to allow all executables. If the path doesn't exist, attackers can drop binaries in there to bypass security/codesigning etc. By creating it as SYSTEM, MS is ensuring that it can't be written to without SYSTEM privs?

Thats not better :(

Or worse, (tinfoil hat on), they are planning on installing and abusing iis on everyone's PC. Ad delivery?

I don't see how this can be a security risk, I really want more details.

Theres a 50-50 chance they end up in internment camps without any war breaking out...

As others have said, torrents won't work as a backup. This is because when you create a torrent, it isnt uploaded to a server somewhere, other users download directly from you. So if you have it as a torrent, until someone else downloads it, you only have 1 copy.

If you want to use it to upload stuff from your laptop to another PC, then this would actually work, and the only thing needed to avoid it being public is to not share the torrent file itself publically. But there are better tools for this, such as SyncThing. Torrents will work once, but any changes to the files will break the torrent.

Thats really sad. That kid is learning to get good at the one thing ChatGPT excels at - rewriting words into a different form. Who is going to want to employ someone for that?!

I always felt that schools do a bad job of explaining why plagerism is bad. Its not just that its theft, the really damaging part is that it cheats the student out of their own education. A late or poorly written assignment is far better than a passing chatgpt written assignment, because its still involves learning.

True. I just assumed it was a significant part of the response time given they went to the effort of automating it. Still, like the other person said, a proper invoicing software should be the correct tool

Seems like a problem that doesn't require AI. Just have an email template with all services, and delete the unnecessary ones. Shouldn't take 5 hours.
