The article says that employees of the AI company (ShotSpotter) manually reviewed and classified the sounds as gunshots:

> records showed that ShotSpotter actually initially picked up what sounded like a firework a mile away, and this was later reclassified by ShotSpotter staff to be a gunshot at the intersection where and when Williams was seen on camera.

So the AI didn’t even make the call. The staff did, manually. I assume that means the actual audio is available and entered into evidence?

If humans are making the call then blaming AI seems like a stretch. That’s almost like blaming the motion detection algorithms for triggering video recordings that were later reviewed by humans. It’s still humans reviewing the recordings and making decisions.

Do you have a source for that? I was not able to find one.

The internet is worthless with respect to classical probability - the number of good outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. How many interesting facts do you learn per hour, per day, per week; some constant factor? Divide that by the terabytes and exabytes of the ever-growing web. That tends to zero as time tends to infinity.

If a problem ever arises, there's a 0.00...1% chance at any moment that the internet is the correct solution, by rough estimates.

Without going into too much detail, this "coupled account" problem is taken very seriously internally (AWS Identity dev, my opinions are my own and I don't speak for the company).

There is a very large project to fix this. But as you can probably imagine, with a system this large and complex making changes to fundamentals like identities is hard, and done with a lot of care.

All new accounts created today are "decoupled". They are not your Amazon account, and (barring some special internal tools for testing) you cannot make them the same account. But migrating all the existing accounts without causing harm is a messy business.

My own AWS account has the same problem.

I don't agree. A PR does not automatically mean that the changeset is good or well thought-out, or matches the architecture. Refusing to discuss a problem or exchange ideas regarding potential changes also raises a red flag regarding the nature of said contribution.

Keep this in mind: just because you believe your patch scratches your itch, that doesn't mean your itch is the problem.

Moreover, it wasn't that long ago that the Linux project had to remove PRs from the repo because a team was caught abusing the PR process.
Apparently, VSCode is considered a text Editor. And i mean, if you played with Netbeans and Eclispe, and are now working with VSCode, this whole thread would seems a bit weird to you.

The main difference i see between Text editor and IDEs: with text editors you need to add your own configuration and tooling, and this can takes time, while with IDE everything is already in and you just need to learn the quirks.

But right now, i'm working to integrate programs with OCS pods and weird network architecture (we can only interrogate some APIs from the Openshift cluster as a security mesure), and my collegues who only ever worked with IDEs have a development cycle that look like this:

Write code => push => build new image=> deploy pod with new image => get the input and correct mistakes => repeat

I just work withing the pod (i use vim because its everywhere, but i could build the pod with VSCode inside, it is light enough).

So i'll say this: imho if you're in for a short-term contract, learn to use you employer IDE. If you think you'll stay a long time AND you like to have tailor-made tools for you, you can consider a text editor. Whichever choice you make, always learn a new language with the least tooling help you can get (in Eclipse you can deactivate stuff), and learn ed or Vim if you might go DevOps in the future.
After reading so many samples of machine generated text throughout the article, the conclusion paragraph felt entirely artificial and machine generated to me.
Oh sure. Nothing against SQLite. If your needs are simple then it's a great solution. It's the "Postgres/MySQL in production, SQLite for development/testing" pattern that puzzles me.
Well, I think it definitely can and probably will; for example, given how hard the Asian children tend to be driven by their parents, I expect them to occupy a significant part of the elite in 2050, bringing with them very different perspectives, too.

(The same process, albeit on a much smaller scale, is taking place in the Czech Republic. We have a Vietnamese minority that began as convenience store owners, but their children are rising fast into the educated elite of the country.)

But that process will be fraught with a lot of conflict and will likely require abandonment of any efforts to pre-balance student bodies by ethnicity.

I did this by accident from Tokyo to Kyoto. My idea was that I didn't want to take a bullet train to Kyoto and what I wanted was a slower train with a restaurant and a bar car. So without speaking Japanese I tried to buy that ticket, and the train office were slightly surprised then they did the ticket processing to make it happen. Turns out what I got was a local train all the way to kyoto. It fucking sucked. It was like riding a subway train for 11 hours. There was no restroom ,it was cold, the seats were uncomfortable and there was no food. When I think back on it, I don't know why I just did't quit. For food at a station I ran to get a bento within five minutes. At another station I raced to use the toilet. My eventual destination was Suntory distillery in Yamazaki and I got to drink 25 year old whisky so eventually it got better, but if you made it this far, yeah I had a good idea, that turned out to be stupid and I stuck with it because I don't know why.
No. You could then say "how many NIC manufacturers" or "how many UTP cable manufacturers" etc., as though all of them got their cut from Apple's app store (although one could reasonably argue it is true).

If it is the same, why doesn't Apple allow third party stores even to re-sell apps from app store, competing on price and convenience? As this is what Sony does.

I'm by no means fan of Sony, but these are two completely different situations.

“In very real terms, Afghanistan turned into a testbed for every single innovation in technocratic PMC governance, and each innovation was sold as the next big thing that would make previous, profane understandings of politics obsolete. In Afghanistan ”big data” and the utilization of ever expanding sets of technical and statistical metrics was allowed to topple old stodgy ideas of dead white thinkers such as Sun Tzu or Machiavelli, as ”modern” or ”scientific” approaches to war could have little to learn from the primitive insights of a pre-rational order. In Afghanistan, military sociology in the form of Human Terrain Teams and other innovative creations were unleashed to bring order to chaos. Here, the full force of the entire NGO world, the brightest minds of that international government-in-waiting without a people to be beholden to, were given a playground with nearly infinite resources at their disposal. “
I am not a lawyer... There may be an argument here that

1. GitHub has a valid license to distribute it (as a result of their TOS)

2. Running the downloaded code is not copyright infringement (or not obviously so, and hasn't been established as so in any court that I am aware of)

3. Using the APIs is not copyright infringement (see Oracle v Google, if that was fair use this almost certainly is)

Thus no copyright infringement has occurred.

Still, keeping this in the codebase is at best boobytrapping your code to create accidental future instances of copyright infringement, and it's an interesting case of people not checking licenses (since it's pretty clear they didn't realize this in advance).
Did you switch within the same company or did you have to change companies?

I understand where you're coming from. Feedback and engagement noted and appreciated.

But I stand by my remarks from 2013 in 2021. I've now had well over 1000 students go through Pyret (in addition to tens of thousands elsewhere). We've also spent hours and hours literally watching new learners work with the language. I can assure you that of the many, many, many issues that have percolated up to us, spaces-around-binops has literally not a single time been one. If anything, when people write that and we say "just put spaces around the `-`", the response is, "Oh, okay", and people move on.

So, we feel very good about this decision. And I, personally, actually really like how it makes code read.

Sure but then you just put the discussion in the PR. The point is that having the code immediately says what you want done, that it’s possible and probably a new failing test case that demonstrates the issue.
It is not running out of population, though. Actually, to the contrary, most Middle Eastern populations are still growing. (For example, birth rate for Iraq was 28.1 per 1,000.)

In this entire text, the most important questions are missing:

1/ Why does a person start to use drugs?

2/ Why does a person use so much drugs it kills them?

The entire article is talking about symptoms, not causes.

That's not to say all drug use is bad.

What's bad is living a life that's so full of stress and pain that you feel you have no way out other than to distract yourself with these drugs. Eventually leading to death by overuse.

It's not looking at the causes, only at the symptoms, and wondering how we can work within that limit.

And it is exactly that limit that prevents us from seeing the cause.
We don't subsidize it, we tax the alternative source of hydrogen and then we set a minimum green mix.

So Dino Inc can still make hydrogen from fossils, but they have to at least source 1% green hydrogen, and they pay a tax on the 99%. And they know that 1% will be 10% and eventually 100% and the tax will increase so they have a business case for investing billions.
It’s just so weird we’re supposed to get hydrogen from petroleum sources. It’s not like you can’t split it from water (with solar providing the energy). Everyone learns that in elementary school chemistry.

Hydrogen doesn’t seem like a good idea for cars, too much dispersed infrastructure that needs to be built, that seems even more difficult to pull off than electric charging. But for airplanes, it might make more sense.
I don’t know where you got $4bn for ITER from. The project itself estimates a cost of €18-22 by the time it’s completed, with some estimates well over double that in real terms. It’s also one of about 100 fusion reactors built since the 1950s.

Comparing the budget for one area of research to entire defence budgets is frankly just giving up on reality.
Just about anything short of that?

First and foremost I am opposed to any use of the military on the citizens of their own nation. That in itself IMO should be considered off limits. A nations military has the primary purpose to eliminate or destroy the nations enemies, if the military is being used on the citizens that means the citizens have become the enemy...

This. Supporting software costs time. If no one person is going to use it (on other platform than that I am using/promise to support), it's not worth spending. Usually, everyone is free to contribute to OSS if they need extra features that are not present.
In fact, I think most pilots would have done that.

Pilots are trained to recover from stalls over and over, until it becomes second nature. And the way to do it is to follow into the dive until you regain control authority and then pull back slowly. This is not a regular stall but the idea is the same: pulling doesn't work? try pushing.

Of course I wasn't in the cockpit, and I would probably be panicking if I was, but from my armchair, it looks like the kind of reaction a properly trained pilot would naturally have.

Linux isn't dead. Containers, as RedHat loves to say in their marketing material, _are_ Linux. What is dying is the common ground upon which Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems used to exist, but that's been on the horizon forever with systemd choosing to use new Linux features over portability.

You are always picking an ecosystem alongside your operating system. If you don't like how constrained it is, maybe you need to either work on improving it or jump ship.

This just seems very unproductive.
You can but it costs much more, this is why 95% of current hydrogen is produced from natural gas and hydrocarbons.
I am positive growing up I read about how some anesthetic they used during childbirth in the sixties was linked to some kind of birth defect but it is ridiculous to say that about vaccines.

Why is there doubt that vaccines are safe and that tobacco is harmful?

I can understand reluctance to say too much of sweet smoothies filled with fresh fruits is harmful or milk/milk products are harmful because they contain lots of useful nutrients and the reality is very nuanced and our understanding will evolve over the next few decades.

However, the topics you mentioned are solved issues. Why is it so easy to cast doubt about them?
Well, it is preregistration plus a commitment by a journal to accept and publish the resulting paper (no matter the outcome of the study). That apparently is "Registered reports" (see same Wikipedia article), an idea I hadn't heard before.

Edited to add (from Wikipedia):

> Over 200 journals offer a registered reports option (Centre for Open Science, 2019),[33] and the number of journals that are adopting registered reports is approximately doubling each year (Chambers et al., 2019).[34]

> Nature Human Behaviour has adopted the registered report format, as it “shift[s] the emphasis from the results of research to the questions that guide the research and the methods used to answer them”.[36]

> European Journal of Personality defines this format: “In a registered report, authors create a study proposal that includes theoretical and empirical background, research questions/hypotheses, and pilot data (if available). Upon submission, this proposal will then be reviewed prior to data collection, and if accepted, the paper resulting from this peer-reviewed procedure will be published, regardless of the study outcomes.”[37]

The investigation never concluded this.

In a deposition taken by the Safety Board, the captain stated that he usually activates the bulk-erase feature on the CVR at the conclusion of each flight to preclude inappropriate use of recorded conversations. However, in this instance, he could not recall having done so.
You ignore what I said - that this change log is obviously an artifact of the print era, and is unusable unless you actively check it against everything you read, which is clearly impractical.

This is the second anti-Docker (by extension, anti-container) post I've seen this morning (this first was on Medium, no surprise).

The OP's lack of familiarity with Docker, and desire to re-invent the wheel into a different shape, is not anyone else's problem but that of the OP.

There is a reason that the Docker-on-macOS or -Ubuntu monoculture exists: it works (darwin-arm64 aside) without a significant amount of effort, and is generally well-supported by the larger OSS community.

Personally, I'd love to find a batteries-included FreeBSD distribution that is as simple to install as Ubuntu. Not everyone is a true believer, so the barriers to entry should be minimal.

US healthcare is a giant cash making scam, where patient health and open pricing are unimportant. If the Federal government actually cared to force the issue, we might find a preference for a national unified system, in which of course the insurers and healthcare conglomerates would lose their profit. So no doubt they spend a fortune ensuring that no matter what rules appear for political reasons, they are not really enforced, and thus don't matter.
Potentially for the same reason you'll usually have far-reaching amnesties after civil wars etc, if you want freedom going forward.

Doing an investigation to find "the real truth", which from what I gather in most threads here would be essentially "where did it come from and why was it the Wuhan lab that intentionally released it?", wouldn't really get us anywhere.

None of the large powers would cooperate if they felt threatened and there's nothing to win unless we believe that we automatically get a perfect cure if only we find the GPS coordinates where patient zero got infected. Would it? I don't think so.

I also believe that there's nothing we can do to stop another similar event by knowing where it came from. What's more relevant is how it spread so quickly around the globe, and as far as I understand, we have a pretty good understanding of that and it's mainly international air-plane travel. I don't think we'll see a lasting change in that regard, but maybe we will, and we will have fever-checks before boarding planes or non-regional trains.

Fine and dandy, given an ideal watermelon. what if its asymmetrical, or the rind is thicker on one side? Who is the lucky one who gets the slice with the worm?

I don't see why Toyota or Honda should panic or rush now. They have a reputation for reliability that will ensure that when they do introduce electric vehicles they will sell well. They have experience with hybrid vehicles, which are essentially electric vehicles, so are unlikely to screw up the design. They have a reputation for logistical mastery, which appears to be a major challenge for other manufacturers during the transition. Presumably they have a good relationship with Panasonic, the premier battery supplier.

So why jump in now and fight over 3% of the market, when they can jump in a few years time when it's a bigger market?

If they plan on jumping in in volume in a few years they need to be securing battery supply now, but that wouldn't necessarily be visible to us.

Hydrogen is used in industrial processes not just fuel. In terms of transportation batteries are to heavy for long distance aircraft and very expensive for long distance cargo ships. It’s not clear that hydrogen is the solution for either of those, but it’s a reasonable option.
