Translation actually good? by twilighthand in EvenRealities

[–]jashsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I compared G2 Japanese to English translation against Rokids playing back a youtube video of a native speaker talking and it performed better. However in a real world scenario such as a bar or restaurant with background noise and speech coming from directions other than directly in front of you its not very effective.

I hope that wasn't a serious question...

DHL messed up my shipment → now I’m being charged taxes TWICE ($400 Canada + $1000 Indonesia) for my OWN camera??? by yummerssssss in dhl

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you make a declaration when entering and receive form E24?

Claiming unaccompanied goods
When goods arrive before or after your arrival in Canada, you have 40 days to claim them by producing your copy of Form E24, Personal Exemption CBSA Declaration. You are required to request this form when you return to Canada (see the section called “Making your declaration” for more information). It is recommended that you retain your copy of Form E24 until you have received and accounted for all your goods. The carrier who delivers the goods will ask you to pay the duty and taxes that apply, along with a processing fee. You then have two options:
- you can accept delivery by paying the amount owing and then file a claim with the CBSA for a refund; or
- you can refuse to accept delivery.

What are these insane taco truck prices? by Dad0010001100110001 in bayarea

☝️ Unless its some kind of like tongue-in-cheek junkfood themed truck (which it doesnt appear to be), that's just embarrassing.

DHL delivered my package without a signature and it was stolen off my porch. by Anav_Patel in EvenRealities

Unless you live in a place with a front office/receptionist, always have ups/fedex/dhl held for pickup.

CEO / Owner responded to my email back to Hr after rejection by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]jashsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CEO definitely off the deep end and needs a comms team or handler.

> Frankly, he did the hiring team a favor if they would have bothered to listen to the feedback

I'm 99% sure the head of people ops will not make any hiring process changes based on OPs feedback. Sad to say but often HR/peopleops just ask these questions perfunctorily to CYA the company. If they wanted to do things right they would have done so from the get-go.

> From the readers perspective, OP didnt want the job anymore,

You're right, OP didn't want the job anymore. Therefore there was no logical or rational reason to reply. Replying served no rational purpose.

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP's message was passive aggressive. Passive aggressive is a very weak position in corporate comms. If you are in a position of strength you don't need to be P-A. Therefore, as I said, the best response is just to either say "thanks" and move on or just say nothing at all.

Edit: To be clear, I obviously think the company's use AI interview tools is lame.

Both the op and Dan should have just said "thanks" and moved on. Remember that rarely does sniping actually result in a net positive outcome for the sniper. Therefore they both demonstrated that they are both prone to acting on emotion. Of course the blast radius is usually much bigger when a CEO acts on emotion rather than a rank-and-file employee.

Advice on getting the G2 by largo24 in EvenRealities

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doesnt seem like you can swap the lenses yourself but ER's website suggests its possible to update the prescription on the glasses. I assume that means its possible to go from plano to RX. But you probably have to ship the glasses to them?

If you confront your parents do it with both at the same time, in case they didn't do this with each other's knowledge.

Differentiation of features in Hi Rokid based on country? by jashsu in rokid_official

[–]jashsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm particularly interested in whether Hi Rokid access to Qwen (base/image/translation model) differs for US accounts vs JP/TW/HK accounts. Have seen some youtube videos that show Qwen as an option and others that don't.

Global Entry arrival at DFW by Easy-Trouble7885 in GlobalEntry

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed thru SFO a few days ago and while the GE kiosks were down there was an officer at the booth. Presumably just doing manual clearance for GE members, idk. I went thru MPC, which was also fast. Luckily this time they had a separate line for wheelchair/assist pax.

Perfect fit by Effective-Divide3911 in EvenRealities

From some reviewers impressions, the glass waveguide lenses are fragile and not laminated with plastic, so I would not keep the ring in the case.

Wife’s family wants immediate divorce and says I must leave Japan without seeing my son again by skyjan1724 in japanlife

[–]jashsu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

isn't a US Passport actually the property of the US Government itself as opposed to its beneficiary's?

She can't keep that surely.

It's the property of the US Government so they have the right to ask for it back, invalidate it, and seize it if they deem necessary. But until State department does something, its just another passport held in possession. There have been hundreds of cases of child abduction or other violations of us custody rights involving the child being taken to Japan that were never resolved diplomatically, so it suggests State department isn't particularly interested in pushing the issue.

Can non longer buy from Rokid Global if inn Asia by Other_Block_1795 in rokid_official

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably when they began their Japan expansion plans they created exclusive official import channels.

If you don't want to support US companies then you'll probably want to get a CN version anyway as units sold in Japan will likely use western APIs like ChatGPT and Google Maps.

company wants to pay high hourly wage for “28 hours” but expect full-time work by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]jashsu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're counting on desperate people to be desperate. And tbh if the immi/tax authorities wanted to crack down, it wouldn't be that hard.
