One of Brooke Jenkins' first moves as SF DA: backing London Breed's police surveillance plan

https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/jenkins-backs-police...

It is not clear how the access would work: in spite of phrases like

> The city's current ordinance, authored in 2019, allows police to access security cameras owned by individuals and businesses in real-time only if there is a serious risk of physical injury or death

, the important question remains about consent from the owner of the camera and the modality of access. How does the SF police access private cameras?
Theoretically languages other than Nix can be used to generate derivations and from that point forward to the finished build result everything should work the same way.

There is already some experimental setup for Nix to call Nickel for producing derivations using a function call importFromNcl. A more language-agnostic FDI (foreign derivation interface?) would be really exciting.

When writing Nix code it can often feel quite opaque what's going wrong, so writing actual package descriptions in a more constrained language like CUE, at least to me, feels like it might help. Better tooling in Nix and the kind of validation that Nickel proposes also look like good bets. I'm glad there is more than one horse in the race to improve the ecosystem.

I have been wondering for some time what would be required to define a package set just like nixpkgs in CUE (since it's not lazy and not touring complete). I only have very vague thoughts on that, so I would love reading about it from someone who knows more about how nixpkgs works or someone actually trying it.

Locally-adjusted pay is a fluke if revenues are not locally constrained (like a coffee shop). It's just another way employers try and nickle and dime workers, and it's sad that a large class of workers have been brainwashed to support it because somehow they're more upset at the other workers making more, than the company trying to pull a fast on on them.

"But you would make so much more than your neighbors!". Fuck off with that noise. I don't care what my neighbors make, I care what the company is earning from my labor and getting my fair share. I have no problem extorting more from a company that has no problem extorting more from me.

You also won't see this for senior management. As a VP/C-level, I've never had a potential employer put pressure on salary during a negotiation because of my location (though it's always been domestic). It's never even come up besides relocation discussions.
Chargebacks are used as a kind of punitive measure directed at merchants. The idea here is for merchants to figure out the only way to deal with chargebacks is to not get chargebacks at all.

For now this works because for some reason relatively few cardholders are educated enough on what are and how to use chargebacks.

I personally wouldn't be using credit card if not for the chargebacks. I am still paying off entire balance every month, but I am much happier knowing that any dispute on a transaction with a credit card is going to be so much easier than any other form of payment.
I have generally found it to be true that only those who don’t pay property taxes..that is, those who don’t own property by virtue of paying for it and/or have inherited property..are usually the ones who clamour to increase property taxes as a punitive measure.

In other words, the assetless classes support taxing those with earned fixed assets.

When reframed this way, the article reads to me as a high falutin petty and bitter whine.

All taxes are theft. The only justifiable tax is a tax on consumption and perhaps a tax on children because population increases exponentially. That would take care of all the bundle of taxes and simplify the tax code.
I think that the Dems decided that their other planks (largely racial/identity/cultural) were more important than their labor planks. Simultaneously, union workers decided that their other political beliefs were more important than their labor-related ones. It's hard to pick apart which happened first, if either could be said to happen first, because each magnified the other in a feedback cycle.

The political realignment was rather sudden, and the upshot was that the party that previously represented labor didn't particularly care about "labor vs management" anymore. They cared about equality within the labor force, which is a totally different thing.
But what about me? I’m the one who likes the fact I don’t need to worry about malware on my phone and I open sensitive documents only on my phone without any anxiety that they might get leaked.

> If Visa ends up crippling this ability there's no chance I'll use their cards again.

Curious how this makes other options more competitive. If liberal dispute policies are one of the value props of using a CC, and merchants eat the fees, the value of using a CC declines if dispute resolution is tightened up making it closer to parity of irreversible funds transfers (although there is still the float component not yet solved for in the financial UX of most financial service providers).

Sure, you can offer me different notification channels for rides vs ads. But remember, I am an unscrupulous developer. How are you going to stop me from sending you ads through the rides channel?

My underlying point, of course, is just because the operating system provides certain APIs, does not mean they are going to be used in good faith.

Your other comments indicate you agree with involuntary holds. These usually do no good and remove agency form the person. What actually works is a more tender individualized intervention, but of course that is expensive and family may not know of warning signs.

Some of the worst people I've met are the EMTs who do these calls. Some believe they are doing no harm. They are worth killing, and I am not sure whether I could avoid doing that if someone exposed themselves like that to me.
I dunno... seems unlikely.
There's a tremendous amount of devil in the details of how this is implemented:

> "With this change, if merchants can provide additional data or evidence to show that the disputed charge is valid, then the dispute will be invalid."

I've seen (from the merchant side) unfair chargebacks. No question.

But my fear is that Visa is going to implement this something like YouTube copyright claims, where basically, the merchant just has to respond and that's it.

The last chargeback I issued was for an electronics seller who never credited me for a return. I explained the issue to American Express' automated system. Uploaded receipts (including the seller's return instructions, and delivery confirmation of the returned item), and got an instant refund.

I'd love to know how Visa's changes will affect this type of chargeback. It's wasn't "fraud" in the sense that someone used my credit card without authorization. But it certainly was a merchant that didn't follow up on their end of the deal.
That would give black two moves in a row, which is a different scenario, and might still be optimal for black.
I specifically called out that this is a minority situation, so the characterization you put forward seems like a wild overstatement.

> ...the solution is not to transfer your freedom to choose to Apple and just let them decide...

Very good point. It's almost like people believing it to be better for a "benevolent" dictator to make all decisions, so that they won't be bothered with having to make choices.

Not every user wants to give over their freedom of choice to Apple (or any seemingly "kind" dictator), and many would prefer they can make decisions about what is best for their particular situation and based on their own preferences.
Most cities are less dense today because they got re-modeled to be more car friendly in the 60ies and 70ies.

> I think people don't realize how huge these models really are.

They really aren't that large by the contemporary scaling race standards.
DALLE-2 has 3.5B parameters, which should fit on an old GPU like Nvidia RTX2080, especially if you optimize your model for inference [1][2] which is commonly done by ML engineers to minimize costs. With optimized model, your memory footprint is ~1 byte per parameter, and some less than 1 ratio (commonly ~0.2) of all parameters to store intermediate activations.

You should be able to run it on Apple M1/M2 with 16GB RAM via CoreML pretty fine, if an order of magnitude slower than on an A100.

Training isn't unreasonably costly as well: you can train a model given O(100k)$ which is less than a yearly salary of a mid-tier developer in silicon valley.

There is no reason these models shouldn't be trained cooperatively and run locally on our own machines. If someone is interested in cooperating with me on such a project, my email is in the profile.

It sounds like a great way to create a system that concentrates and abuses power, not unlike a "secret court". If the company claims something like "it's covered in the ToS/EULA" what recourse do consumers have if that statement is not exactly true? If Visa agrees with Walmart about some nebulous wording in legalese, where a judge would read it differently, how can consumers advocate for themselves? Lawsuits are an option only for those with the time and access to pursue remuneration through the legal system so that is not a serious option here.

I'm heavily pro 2A and I heavily support every free person having a machine gun. Quite a bit of people wouldn't give you a weird look at all if you suggested that.

Re: funding that would actually be pretty easy. An AR-15 from PSA is like $400-500 and the manufacturing cost between a semi-auto and auto is negligible. There's about 258 million adults in the US, so that puts the cost at roughly 125B, or under 3% of the federal budget and well below what was spent on COVID relief. With every citizen armed with a a machine gun, and by ending unnecessary foreign military operations I'd say we could easily shrink the military budget enough to make up the difference. Bonus points if the Department of Labor, department of Education, department of energy, medicaid/medicare, food stamps, ATF, DEA, CIA, and other costs were slashed to make way for supporting arming the citizenry.
Ads - the most reviled thing on the internet (spam is advertising!) - is going to save Netflix. I doubt it.
What I mean is if a notification presents itself, allow the user to mute it. If that channel was intended for rides, then the unscrupulous developer simply disables their own app.
At Microsoft, I can recall several UX/UI user studies that were conducted by two anthropologists. Although I don't recall exactly the studies, I know they had to do with future UI/UX concepts.
If I understand this correctly it is essentially doing second presentment preemptively. ("Hey, Visa, just in case the client questions authorisation, here you have some additional data to shoot those down immediately without you having to contact me for those details")
The biggest issue here is that the "proof" allowed essentially means recurring billing scams can run rampant without any recourse. Unfortunately a significant amount of "businesses" online and offline are forms of recurrent billing scams. Chargebacks are the /only/ protection consumers have against this form of scam, other than going to court at their own expense.

This GREATLY weakens consumer protections for basically no upside by enabling bad actor merchants. End of story.

The outcome was not inevitable. If the same level of spending on federal and local level was invested in improved street cars the outcome could have been quite difference.

I think that’s overly critical of busses. You could use the same number of busses at the same frequency as a trolly network, but they are optimized differently.

Trolley’s had fewer routes because laying track was expensive, busses on the other hand ended up with vastly more routes but fewer busses on most routes. This meant that even with significantly more total busses people would on average wait longer but conversely they walk less.

The biggest downside to complex bus routs is they tend to be more difficult to understand and use efficiently. However, apps can really pick up the slack and let people leverage complex systems.
DDD is a poison to the mind and business growth. Keep the domain at the user configuration level where possible, not locked in to service design. Build domain agnostic, functionality based services. You shouldn't need to channel engineering to iterate on your business model. In the context of naming services it's even worse, trying to name services after significant domains in your business is an even stronger lock-in of temporary business concepts to service design. It's a poisonous coupling.

This collection is truly amazing.

* There is an own creation algorithm for each game, sometimes including parameters like difficulty

* For every game there must be only one possible solution. This means that you never have to guess. Otherwise, it's a bug. For Mines (Minesweeper clone), this is an outstanding feature.

* The solution for almost every game is implemented with a respective solving algorithm. You can learn a lot from the source code.

* Each generated game comes along with a seed which you can share with others, or for a bug report.

* The project cross-compiles out of the box for many platforms, including Android, Windows and Web. And the resulting Windows binaries are tiny, because it does not use a bloated GUI framework.

* It provides a well-thought framework in case you want to add another game.

* Icons of the game are created on-the-fly during the building process

> Instead the consumer should contact the merchant directly to resolve the dispute.

I agree, for the cases where this is reasonable. Unfortunately plenty of companies engage in extremely bad faith efforts to make it absurdly hard to cancel a service or resolve an issue. My concern is that these sorts of companies are the ones that will benefit from this change. An ethical company that makes it easy to understand charges, cancel services, or handle issues probably gets far fewer chargebacks than one that makes cancelling as painful as possible. Visa does have a financial interest in processing more charges, so I wouldn't automatically assume good faith on their part.

I don't think vacancy taxes are _actually_ hard to enforce, but I think there are a lot of noisy objections from people who don't want them enforced, and that can be enough to sway municipal government.

I agree that simpler rules are generally harder to work around.

_However_, I notice that argument is almost always made to claim that governments shouldn't try to change behavior in line with the preferences of their electorate. Tax laws have loopholes, regulations have loopholes and push jobs and industries overseas, etc. The logical end point seems to be that democratic processes are doomed to be ineffective and we should just trust everything to the invisible hand of the market.

What if the real problem is that the mindset that improving policy is so hard that governments shouldn't even try, itself dooms us to bad policies?

What if 20 years ago we had all said, "making complex rules to identify and block spam emails is too hard; there will always be some way for the spammers to get through. So let's not waste resources on it."
It's very likely to be used by people who want to become state actors. And I suspect (given the source) that it's also a lowkey warning shot from a country that has a significantly deeper understanding of information and psychological warfare than its opponents.
