An animated GIF is essentially a video with a large number of restrictions and poor compression compared to an actual video. Often sites convert animated GIFs to videos because the result is smaller and works better.
We shouldn't use the word "poaching" in this way. Poaching is the illegal hunting of protected wildlife. Employees are not the property of their employers, and they are free to accept a better offer. And perhaps companies need to revisit their compensation practices, which often mean that the only way for an employee to get a significant raise is to change companies.
I'm now seeing this all over the place, and if it worked up to now then that's over. NK will just give people a recommended way of answering the question, and if they follow the script they won't get in trouble. Like perhaps, Kim who? Oh, the North Korean leader? Sorry, I have no idea. Further questions about NK can just be deflected with "I don't follow that stuff, sorry".
I think it's silly as well, but I also imagine that deflecting this way would also be extremely suspicious. The agent would probably just think that the jig is up and move on to the next target.
Perhaps the thinking is that if someone is asked, how fat is Kim, they've been outed so they might as well quit. But if employers start asking that of any Asian remote work applicant, then they can just brazen it out.
I'm skeptical of the claim that this change will "silently break so much existing code". For it to change the behavior of code, the first member would have to be smaller than other members, someone would have to use this construct to initialize union objects, and it would have to affect the behavior. In any case, it's standard for the Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian developers to go through all the packages and test with new GCC versions before they come out, so that issues are fixed before the new compiler is released.
I'm reminded of the story of Helen Keller, and how it took a long time for her to realize that the symbols her teacher was signing into her hand had meaning, as she was blind and deaf and only experienced the world via touch and smell. She didn't get it until her teacher spelled the word "water" as water from a pump was flowing over her hand. In other words, a multimodal experience. If the model only sees text, it can appear to be brilliant but is missing a lot. If it's also fed other channels, if it can (maybe just virtually) move around, if it can interact, the way babies do, learning about gravity by dropping things and so forth, it seems that there's lots more possibility to understand the world, not just to predict what someone will type next on the Internet.
It is important to note that Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf, though. (I am not reducing the struggle she went through. Just commentary on embodied cognition and learning.) There were around 19 months of normal speech and hearing development until then and also 3D object space traversal and object manipulation.
A president can revert an executive order from the previous administration. But the Inflation Reduction Act is a law, not an executive order. If Trump doesn't like it, he can get Congress to repeal it. But he isn't the king. The constitution requires that the president "take care that the laws be faithfully executed". It isn't fraud when funds that were allocated by the act were distributed according to the act. If someone cheated then by all means they can bring charges if they have any evidence, which they apparently do not.
the problem is there has to be credible enforcement. Either a credible threat of impeachment, or a separate branch of Us Marshals that works directly for the judiciary or something.
Em. Deportations increased substantially under Biden.
That said, laws generally permit some leeway to the executive to set spending priorities/focus. It can be pretty limited since Congress tends to specify what department and sometimes program money must be spent on, but it still it allows for things like deciding you're going to prosecute more drug dealers even though they're long shot cases rather than easier to win fraud causes. This is done at all levels of government.
Shifting spending priorities as the law allows, though, is rather different from actively breaking the law.
Didn’t you hear from Fox News that all CBP officers were instructed to stand back and stand by while illegals waltzed into our country to commit crime?? They literally played solitaire on their phones for 4 years straight. /s
Back the Blue apparently includes demonizing their daily effort to process asylees, rescue families in danger, and arrest gang-affiliated criminals, all while forgetting that crossing the border illegally is a civil offense akin to a speeding ticket. But now that we are a physical threat to their safety, we supposedly have a secure border.
It was already disclosed to the bad guys that someone managed to break their encryption, when they didn't get paid and they saw that the customer had somehow managed to recover their data. That probably meant they might go looking for weaknesses, or modify their encryption, even without this note.
Other victims whose data were encrypted by the same malware (before any updates) could benefit from this disclosure to try to recover their data.
I'd say that they are more uncertain than industry jobs at this point, unless you're talking about companies that have recently been taken over by private equity where the new owners intend to gut the place and sell off the parts.

Off topic, but this is starting to feel like the rule rather than the exception. This practice should not be legal.
I worked for a compaby as the dev lead that was bought by private equity along with other smaller companies to eventually get big enough to go public.
I saw the writing on the wall. I knew it didn’t make sense to try to build a development department - what I was originally hired to do. I became more of an “enterprise architect” responsible for managing and coordinating third party consulting companies.
I left a year and half later and went to work for a startup. I left there abs when I was looking for a job three years later, the company that acquired the startup offered me a job as a staff architect responsible for integrating all of their acquisitions. As soon as I found out it was PE backed, I noped out.
I still inadvertently ended up at a PE backed company that also had a roll up strategy. It was shitty and I only lasted a year before moving on
Even in a non-Euclidean space with positive or negative curvature, the limit of the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle as the diameter goes to zero is pi.
