NYC:

> “Bragg said the office will stop prosecuting people for theft of services, trespassing (unless it accompanies a stalking charge), aggravated unlicensed operation, routine traffic violations not accompanied by felony charges, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, and prostitution.“

https://gothamist.com/news/manhattan-da-bragg-tells-staff-st...

The Manhattan DA subsequently claimed to roll back the policy, but they are still not interested in prosecuting. I travel to NYC on business regularly, and I’ve seen 6/6 times in the last 8 months people at various stations openly evading Subway fares. In one case, a dude was holding a gate open and yelling at people to come through and not bother paying - with 2 NYPD sitting there talking about 10 feet away.

In my small upstate city, they’ll only even pretend to investigate a burglary. We have issues with people partying (drinking, smoking weed, having sex, eating and dumping trash in the street) in cars in nice neighborhoods. We have muggings, car thefts, robberies, etc like never before. The cops shrug, as their operating orders prevent them from doing anything.

The “progressive” governance model is to suck up to activists to get the campaign cash. Activists want the cops to stand down to street crime. Ultimately the people who live on the wrong side of the tracks suffer. It’s gross.
Why would they loot a Walgreens when they could loot the payroll? Wage theft is the most common form of theft[1] in the country and it's almost completely unenforced.

It was always funny to me reading those stories that Microsoft shares the source of windows with government officials who are worried they have NSA backdoors in a sterile environment: what on earth could you possibly spit from just reading source code? The function won’t be “postToNsa()”

I agree that having no real world experience is bad, and social media can be dangerous
"We’ve heard from regulators and the general public that we need to focus more strongly on security to ensure that we’re taking all the steps possible to make sure people don't use Stable Diffusion for illegal purposes or hurting people."

"What we do need to do is listen to society as a whole, listen to regulators, listen to the community."

"So when Stability AI says we have to slow down just a little it's because if we don't deal with very reasonable feedback from society and our own communities then there is a chance open source AI simply won't exist and nobody will be able to release powerful models."

Looks like someone is leaning on them :(

There's No Way to Please Everyone When It Comes to Remote vs. In-Person Work
As long as politicians and da are dead set on police not actually convicting anyone you can replace the police as many times as you want. Not that they are good, but they probably don't want to bother charging someone who will be released without a slap on the wrist the next day anyway.
We have the same problem. Fake person claiming to be an alumnus of our medium sized, tight knit firm. It’s obviously an attack, but reporting it does nothing. Very frustrating.

I found I had to put in more work to get similar results, from a place that was known to be 'easy' (in hindsight) to a place known to be hard. I found someone in about a year, and although they might not be 'the best', I do love them a lot and we have been together for a long time. Sometimes I wonder if I should've kept on dating sometimes although.
> At Stability, we see ourselves more as a classical democracy, where every vote and voice counts, rather than just a company.

If that was the problem, I think it would have been solved long ago without as many fires as we see today. Warmth is available in a variety of ways, including and not limited to warming centers and chemical warmers. Propane stoves are a poor way to warm people.

To be honest, I'm being very generous when I ascribe those wildfires to a need for warmth and poor fire management. None of them happened in particularly cold weather.
I wrote something on this idea as well referring to it as Debug Driven Development[0].

Similar to TDD or Domain Driven Design (DDD) we should aim to write code that is easy to debug. Store intermediate values in a pipeline in variables, store predicates in a variable with a human readable name, and avoid in lining complex function calls.

There are other techniques that serve this purpose and additional reasons than what this article explores of how or why this is helpful.

To me msnbc felt like it was a play to get ahead of the antitrust narrative.
The "Clinton surplus" was an accounting gimmick where money stored in various government "trust funds" was loaned to the Treasury in exchange for Treasuries, but was counted as normal revenue. If "intragovernmental debt" were properly accounted for, Clinton never had a surplus (indeed, the national debt increased every year of his presidency, just like his predecessors and successors).
I was interested to hear Peter Zeehan's book, "The end of the world is just the beginning." In it, he basically says China will fall apart over the next decade as the the disastrous one child policy takes effect and depletes the countries population.

This isn't about 'batteries included' its about junkware being made impossible to remove.

I tried to file a report with video evidence from the car 2 years ago. I was never able to get through to anyone at the police who would take the report, just passed to a voicemail and no one ever called back or acknowledged the report.
High-density and car-hostile != walkable. If walking means that you have to always be watching your step to avoid feces and used hypodermic needles, and you're constantly getting accosted for money or worse, that's at least as unwalkable as the stroads of suburbia.

Tucker Carlson? Really?
Look at popular culture in America, not to blame it for the current state of things, but as a mirror into the values of society. In a show as benign a Modern Family every home is easily a multi-million dollar home anywhere in the country. This is the 1% reflected as a normal, average, "modern family."

Even if you are doing really well in America it often doesn't feel like it. It often feels like you need to stretch to live a "normal" life. It often feels like you are barely making it and not only are you barely making it but you are one lost job from losing it all.

This isn't exactly new, and it isn't even exclusive to the United States, but I can't help but feel it is only getting worse.
Alright, my bike-related tally over ~6 years in SF:

- 2 stolen bike seats (one by 4th and King, one in the Mission)

- 1 entire bike stolen (left out in the Castro overnight)

- 1 rear wheel stolen (in a parking garage by the SF Symphony)

- 1 seat post clamp (literally just the clamp they had to remove the seat, take off the clamp, then put the seat back; during a 30 minute piano lesson in the Mission)

But that doesn't included the most egregious thing that I ever witnessed: I was running up to Twin Peaks on a Saturday morning, and right around noon, in the mini parking lot between the actual two peaks, with dozens of people milling about, heard someone break a car window while there was someone in the vehicle and grab a bag. A woman was seated in the passenger seat and they broke the rear driver-side window. Within seconds a car pulled up with no license plates, the guy jumped in and they sped off.
Every country, city is beautiful from one way or other. But, it is the people, good governance, good policing , society and culture etc. that ultimately makes city or country good.

It only takes minority number of people to damage reputations of country, and the source of problem must be kept in check. And, I am really sad to hear that the beautiful San Fransico have been plagued by such a people. And, it seems government is doing nothing to ameliorate the situations.
I thought the opposite. How can this not be at least a nationwide, if not worldwide reality? I live in the suburbs of Northern Utah. I’ve had bikes stolen from my yard, items stolen from my truck, money stolen from my wife’s purse, and those are just the one’s I can think of. We probably create millions of little opportunities in our lifetimes. A phone left unattended for a moment, neglecting to lock your car, leaving a bag while you use a restroom, not locking windows, you get the idea.
The fact that we make use of 420-750 THz EMR is uninteresting to people it seems. Presumably it would be much more interesting if we used 2.4GHz like wifi and microwave ovens.

Sure you could argue a developer could, or even should create these things in theory. The problem is then when it goes down I have made two problems out of one. Now I have to manage the infrastructure of a system and what is running on it. Realistically, and even in my current job, it's actually several systems. Now when something breaks I have to pray I can fix it. Instead of allowing a team of infrastructure professionals to at least insure the hardware is working my 8 hour day turns into 14 or 16 very quickly the second one thing goes wrong.
Mostly things like illegal equipment (besides blatantly breaking rules).

It’s a totally rational response that is also horribly selfish. You kind of see this sentiment any time discussion of San Francisco comes up. A bunch of people who have voted to consistently take funds out of the city will jump to attack it as if it were some hated foreign country. Meanwhile the voters of California restricted local taxation to be massively regressive. The voters or America consistently give handouts to rural places. But when it comes to pitching in and helping a once great city, people would rather sit smug about how smart they are to have expelled their homeless people somewhere else.
I'm sorry, we lost millions of dollars due to an exploit.

Don't you have bug bounties to find and fix these things?

But this was in a public standard that we were using, we don't cover those.

Do I look like I care?

1) Who is Daniel Jeffries? There's no explanation of how he's related to Stability.

2) StabilityAI gave RunwayML compute time for them to train Stable Diffusion (they're also the creators of the original model). It's weird to categorize them as " other groups leak the model". They're the ones that created the model! (Source: https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/discus...)
It's an american disease, maybe even californian. Go to many other cities in the rest of the world and they have denser, better cities with none of the literal shit. IMO I would barely call most of the bay a city, just a semi-dense suburb for the most part beyond a few pockets.

But where would traction come from, then? Switching to a proprietary license works well because they're baiting devs, if investors skip that step there's not as much to monopolise. Or am I misreading that paragraph?

If it takes a 1 billion person market with no access to Google services and multiple gigantic partially state-owned companies (Baidu, Huawei, and Tencent at least) to create a competitor that's only viable in that one market, I would argue that it's good evidence India is on the right track here saying that Google has market dominance.
That assumes that democracy even continues to work after the Nth time. Eventually, like all tinpot dictatorships, they'll just force the issue and you'll get it anyway. IMO, there is only a faint shadow of democracy left in the world. Your vote really doesn't matter. In this case, enough people made noise the demons will go back into their lair for another year or more before fielding it again. All it will take is one of those guys to realize they don't really have to listen to anyone to get what they want. This is the genesis of the 5 eyes, and it will be the genesis of modern AI-driven surveillance like OP's link.

I was wary of this, as it felt kind of like a horoscope that could apply to anyone.

At the risk of TMI, I left a cult, which was the faith of my family. During that process, I experienced severe spite, grief, and joined religious recovery subreddits to vent, find community, and learn and struggle together with others like me.

Over the years, I wasn't pleased with my tone. I was angry at my previous faith and its leaders for misleading me, and I spoke out about it. Being afraid I was giving too much information about myself on Reddit, and not wanting to get doxxed, I started a new account on Reddit 3 separate times over the years. I ran the analysis on each of the 3, and it captured the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes I had at the time accurately to a point. I'm glad they included the confidence level, because the primary analysis was freakishly spot on, while the lower rungs we're hit and miss.

I'm kind of taken aback. Here, a cold, calculating machine is breaking down the progress I made as an individual. It was a pretty vulnerable experience.

It could totally fake and I could be totally duped, but I don't care enough for it to matter because this rewarding feeling is worth it.

Thanks OP. You took me on a journey.
It is extremely expensive. Not only is it extremely expensive but who has the time? Most middle class families now have both parents working full-time. Time and money. Kids take both.
I'm not OP but not everyone could vote due to e.g. residency requirements, like me. So I "voted" the only way I could: with my feet.

> And just because you are using rust is no excuse to skip static analysis like prusti, coverage with gcov, llvm, or tarpaulin, and certainly not unit tests.

It absolutely is, and this kind of absolutism is what holds back the adoption of things like rust.

In most real world software development, the target defect rate is not zero. The value proposition of something like rust for most businesses isn't that it lets you lower your defect rate; it's that it lets you maintain your existing (acceptable) defect rate at a much lower cost, by letting you drop your static analysis and most of your tests (reducing maintenance burdens) and still have a better bottom-line defect rate.
except it's not even working for corporations like walgreens, who are closing stores in san francisco because of excessive shoplifting.

Invariably, I suspect that this trial will not prove anything. While I’m frustrated at the realization that Chess.com has a conflict of interest, I think halting Niemann’s career without proof of OTB cheating is absolutely foolish from the Carlsen camp. A far better solution is to tell Niemann he has been flagged, and his games will be watched for an extended time period with added scrutiny, he’ll need to explain why he made the moves accurately, etc etc. if after an extended period up against difficult opponents he proves he can’t function with the same fervor as he had against Carlsen, “let that speak for itself” as everybody seems to want to say wrt this case.

I don’t know if Carlsen is personally liable, but man, it seems pretty fucking foolish on his part to have said what he said.
You can replace the police force, nothing will change. When cops feel unwanted and disrespected they act accordingly. There's a reason we have a history of unwarranted respect for cops and military members. It's not because they always deserve it, but because you want them to feel like they do.
They’re desperately trying to avoid the “stable diffusion makes child porn” articles from flowing
A lot of the visible homeless are not suffering primarily from lack of wealth but from mental health. Another segment chose that lifestyle to be free of responsibility and don't want to change. There are, of course, also people that are homeless for economic reasons, but as I understand it, they tend to be less visible, partly because they are doing things like working and sleeping in their car.

The problem is that what helps the last segment will enable the second segment and not help the first, but everyone talks as if all the homeless are down on their luck. Maybe it's because there is no obvious solution to how to care for the mentally ill, and the previous solution of institutionalization turned out so badly that anything resembling that is just off the table. However, people that do not have the ability to take care of themselves need some sort of sheltering environment, which is basically an "institution". And there is no solution for people who choose not to participate in society, which is relatively okay if they just keep to themselves, but the idea that some people choose of their own volition to do things that cause a breakdown in community (like stealing, defecating on the streets, etc.) seems to be a forbidden concept to Progressives. But each of those three groups needs a different tactic.
This wouldn't be a problem if people stopped going to the same platforms for literally everything and stopped using a bugged phone OS

This is somewhat irrelevant, the police operate like a gang.

There was an entire recall election becuase of "lawlessness" but it turns out that it was not the DA that was the problem, it's the police force refusing to address crime.

Seems pretty likely to be direct corruption organized with the thieves.
