"Released" is indeed one implied meaning of it, perhaps the main one, but not the only one. I have witnessed "dropped" being used in diverse contexts to mean "added", and it's getting worse.
While CrowdStrike was incompetent, this is remotely not the same thing as what VW did. What CrowdStrike did should be best punished by the market and in court by companies who were their customers.
There are two or three companies that do what CrowdStrike does on a scale CrowdStrike supports. Not necessarily on a technical level, but on a CEO-goes-to-the-same-golf-clubs level of business support. CrowdStrike was probably the worst of the bunch, but any of them can cause the problems CrowdStrike caused.
It'll happen again, though probably on a smaller scale. Software like CrowdStrike's is a massive single point of failure but spending twice the money to have a backup suite on part of the network to maintain basic operations when the primary suite crashes is not very popular. The short hit to productivity is worth the emergency prep in terms of financial output, and the people spending weeks on end recovering systems are expendable anyway.
Children’s books are some of the most wonderful little pieces of art; art that nurtures, entertains, educates and instills both moral compasses and working funny bones. All of our lives have been enriched by them. Some children’s stories continue to enrich us for all of our lives.
This doesn’t just steal work from those artists working today, but it steals from every artist who came before. It adds nothing to humanity; it robs so much.
It also destroys nature to do it. It robs from the world and worsens humanity.
Why do it? Money? Infamy? Internet points?
Please delete the project and do something worthwhile.
I built this project originally for my 3YO daughter and I've generated and read so many stories to her while building it. Those moments are priceless and made it worthwile alone.
Now just imagine how much more meaningful those moments would have been if it had been a story that you actually wrote rather than something cobbled together from the works of previous writers and artists by an algorithm.
That is very negative and assumes the worst about OP.
He created something and shared it with the world. It's not to your taste and that's fine. But don't knock someone down for having a red hot go at something.
Amongst other things, I'm writing children's books.
Each one is a labour of love that takes years to produce. It requires detailed thought from word choices, character design, world-building, characters, to fun plot twists. It's really hard and takes a lot of work. It's taken me over a decade to teach myself how to do it. I've been working on my current book for over two years.
My government has decided that my copyright is invalid for AIs. So, as soon as it is published, years of hard work will be slurped into the mediocracy machine for anyone—like you—to abuse.
I recently wrote a game in Javascript (2D; Canvas). I was amazed at how simple it was and how performant plain-old-Javascript and Javascript objects were. Despite thousands of animating things moving on screen, and animated stereo audio, I couldn't get the frame rate to spill over an animation frame.
I didn't enjoy the city of arts and sciences tbh, it felt disconnected, artificial, maybe almost totalitarian in its will to show off. I also thought that, if you look past the immediate effect, it just didn't feel that good looking. A bit similar to how I often feel about Zaha Hadids work.
In comparison, in the barbican I felt like I could sit there for hours and enjoy the architecture. It has so many interesting details and aesthetically pleasing corners.
The really uncompetitive behaviour started when Google removed the search string from search links. That killed 3rd party (and home-grown) analytics, which in turn facilitated large scale tracking of users from site with analytics to site with analytics.
If you wanted to know how your keywords were performing you had to use Google Analytics.
> One of the real problems with evaluating the ideological tenets of National Socialism is that they were often very ill-defined and fluctuating to meet the needs of circumstances.... The result is that National Socialist political philosophy was often incoherent
Not unlike the amorphous political movement plaguing America currently.
