> Training more cops on “Find My” app

And there it is - the fallback to this disempowering narrative revolving around cops need more "training" to behave better. Rather, the incentives need to be drastically reformed so that cops are bound by the same laws as everyone else.

To see the inequitable treatment and framing here, the only question you need to ask yourself is "what would happen to a gang of non-cops who committed a similar home invasion?" In our society the government is supposed to be subservient to the People, so the only difference between a cop and a non-cop should be that a cop gets paid to professionally perform the job of enforcing the law. This should result in a higher standard of behavior than an average group of yahoos carrying out vigilante justice. But instead, cops have been foolishly given immunity from the laws they claim to uphold, creating the perverse incentive where they simply don't care how much damage they cause. This is the key dynamic that needs to be reformed, and the rest will fall into place.

Are there written department policies saying that police officers can use an ambiguous tip to guess at a location, should SWAT the place before politely talking to the occupants, are allowed to deny arrestees access to medication, and can needlessly wreck up their house and possessions for the cops' own personal convenience? If the answer to all of these is "yes", then responsibility rests on the the police department, which should be paying the victim for damages and emotional distress. If the answer to any of these is "no", then the individual cops also need to be held jointly liable for exceeding their authority (both civilly and criminally). Compensating the victim needs to happen procedurally after an attack on an innocent civilian, and if the police department stonewalls on the compensation, then the damages need to be tripled.
Right, but it doesn't auto-update and kill your session.
"Intuitiveness" is AKA "resembling the current norm" when it comes to UX. Updating an aging UI to fit current patterns makes it more cohesive with the operating system, attracts more new users, and avoids confusing those new users.

Attempting to paint "strong usability" through the lens of existing users only (the guy who already knows how to use a rotary phone) is a lopsided view of the goals for an app creator.
Great dogfooding opportunity for it - "See it in action" doesn't work (Firefox 107.0.1, macOS Montery 12.5.1).
Actually I had an unused instance and it took me quite a lot of time to actually figure out that this was the actual cause. I do check the prices but with so many deep learning projects, it's actually really difficult to figure out.

I tried it just for fun yesterday: transforming Git commit message whose subject are too long and that are not in the imperative tense into short title using the imperative tense.

For this kind of thing it mostly works.
Chrome is understood to be controlled by a profit-seeking corporation. If people are using Chrome, they're mostly ok with this.

Firefox is controlled by a not-for-profit which is dedicating to making the internet a better place. People who would also like to make the internet a better place tend to get quite worked up when they feel Mozilla is not doing what they'd do.

(Disclaimer: I mostly happily use Firefox)
This publication is bordering on garbage https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/spiked-magazine/
...and it must also be said that the selection of client software that supports it is somewhat limited. For this discussion, Thunderbird does not. I'd also add that some fairly major providers, e.g. anything based on MS Exchange, and Google's Android client, do their own thing (e.g. ActiveSync).

For myself I'm aware of a bunch of bugs in Thunderbird affecting my experience and I'd rather these were fixed first.
Would you mind sharing which brands were your favorites?
I was using artist in the broad sense to include writers, musicians, filmmakers etc as well as traditional artists. I'd say traditional art is the least problematic as it is the most subjective. People won't be upset at an image you show them that was generated by AI. People won't be upset if you personify the AI and give it a backstory if they know that it's an AI. They will be upset if you tell them the image was made by a human and you give them a backstory about the artist and they later find out that all of that was complete bullshit.

Not only will they be upset, they will no longer trust both those around them and themselves. If they no longer trust, they will become increasingly suspicious and fearful. And as Master Yoda said:

'Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to suffering."
If they’re anything like this, almost none of your frustrations are going to be objective - they are going to be things that grate on you because of the design and interaction models you are used to.

There’s nothing wrong with that! You’re allowed to prefer particular approaches. It’s like when I use Windows or Ubuntu, and get frustrated at how particular interactions work. It’s not because the Mac is objectively better, but because I’m used to it.

(Except for the keyboard shortcuts. Distinct control/option/command keys is objectively better and I will die on this hill.)

This is neat I'll have to dig into it.

I love this kind of inconvenient result.

That said. Why was ivermectin and hydroxy-chloroquinine promoted so aggressively and successfully but not smoking?

That's similar to if the moon landing was fake why didn't the Soviets point it out?

I believe asthmatics were also not as negatively affected as initially expected. That was put down to them being more likely to shield and use of steroid inhaler. Maybe tar is good for the lungs?

That systematically reviewing a large body of evidence is tough and it's not clear the author has the chops for that. You don't just do a head count or just add it all up. He makes no mention of publication bias (does he know how to look for it?). He dismissed explanations without reason (the very same thing he accuses "they" or doing.).
I was about to post roughly this comment, but then I remembered reading https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine a while ago:

> many asso⁣ci⁣a⁣tions with harm are con⁣founded by past or present to⁣bacco use [...] but when pure nicotine is ex⁣am⁣ined [...] the harms ap⁣peared min⁣i⁣mal: like all stim⁣u⁣lants, nico⁣tine may raise blood pres⁣sure some⁣what, and is ad⁣dic⁣tive to some de⁣gree, but the risks do not ap⁣pear much more strik⁣ingly harm⁣ful than caffeine [...] There is lit⁣tle ev⁣i⁣dence from the NRT [nicotine replacement therapy] lit⁣er⁣a⁣ture that ‘never-smokers’ like my⁣self are all that likely to be⁣come highly ad⁣dicted

(To be clear, I understand why the medical community would be hesitant to endorse this without it rising to the level of a "cover-up," but it seems like it's not as bad an idea as it intuitively sounds. But it's also unclear if the stimulant levels mentioned in that article are anywhere close to the levels relevant for covid.)

The fact that you do not physically possess your social security card does not mean that the federal government did not issue you one. So you Have it, you simply don’t have it on you.

Ban cycling. Even less trauma. And why stop there, make it illegal to walk outside as well. No more pedestrians getting hit by cars!

This sounds absurd ofcourse, and it is. But from the point of the surgeons it is not absurd, as it reduces trauma significantly. So any decisions should be taken by taking into account socio-economic effects as well. Cycling is a part of Dutch culture and compared to other countries we are doing very well. Mandatory helmets are a big deal (where do you keep the helmets?) and will definitely move people from bikes to cars.
I never realized the problem with markup until that phrase "light markup". The problem is that it's designed for a human to edit it by hand with a text editor. It's a programmer designing for a programmer, rather than for a user. It's a plumber designing a sink. A mechanic designing a radio. A busboy designing tableware.

What we should have instead of markup, is a WYSIWYG with keyboard shortcuts. Confluence, for example, will convert Markdown into rich text in real time, and has keyboard shortcuts for its other layout/style options. But the point is to edit it in a GUI, see your changes live, and not need to learn a language in order to edit a document. There are so many problems you avoid by giving the user tools to make their life easier. Markup may be one tiny part of that, but it shouldn't be considered the complete solution.
Nope, on ubuntu you get a popup while you are browsing the net saying that SNAP UPDATES ARE POSTPONED because you started something that is entombed in a snap...

Then it does this every time you boot your os and start the browser first.

Maybe, next time, before you start your browser it should update the snaps, then let you use the browser. NOOOOOOOO WAAAY! Display the popup for 2 weeks... or before you commit self harm you do the update yourself.

And we are going to Mars!
And yet YouTube is willing to protect the other party in their "right" to outright steal Blender Foundation content (as that's what they're doing when they claim copyright over content they have no actual copyright over, as is the case here).
They still need to use the functions quite a bit to trigger at c1. Normally Java doesn't compile immediately but after enough iterations.

Also if scala does that for real, it'd eat the inline budget effectively killing the performance.

As another poster said - it's more nuanced than that.

Not all that long ago, almost nobody wanted to render services to same-sex couples. The only reason the level of blatant discrimination has (slightly) lessened is because laws were enacted that explicitly protected their rights.

As someone (referring to myself here) who has almost no reason to be discriminated against, it's very easy to imagine that allowing business owners to freely choose who they provide services would be ok. I'd imagine the reality of that scenario would be pretty grim however.
the book that would factually describe the bizarro world of large corporations and the fungal ecosystems that have been structured around them has not been written yet and it won't be written for a while.

it would have chapters laying out the Kafkaesque, extractive bureaucracy, the amoral shenanigans concocted between lawyers, accountants and consultant suits in the remote top floors of tall glass buildings, the endless financial engineering, the non-stop cut-and-paste acquisitions and disposals, the vacuity of management fads and the zero signal-to-noise ratio of inane powerpoints regurgitating platitudes (the high-art of saying nothing because reality is too gross to discuss).

somehow we are supposed to believe that this is the pinnacle of successful private enterprise. the natural evolution of "best practice" as articulated in posh business schools

in fact historians of the future, with the independence and clarity granted by the passage of time would be very brutal about the type of social pathology this is.

Ok thanks, but the question still stands.
Super lame. I can see how trying to get an AI to solve a problem could be cool, but actually submitting the answers and claiming a high spot on the leaderboard ruins the fun for others.

I understand how some people don't care at all for the competitve aspect of AoC, but many of us do.
California even has a special "taken without consent" (i.e. joyriding) law for cars where you don't even have to prove the "permanently deprive" part that proving theft normally entails.
Well, that was fun
It is possible that microsoft segregates the processing state of Viva and Cortana such that no human outside your organization has access to the data without accessing the permission-controlled keys.

Yes, ultimately Microsoft holds the keys to your encrypted data at rest but billions of dollars are riding on them managing customer keys well.

In fact, Microsoft makes that claim about Viva Topics
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/m...

“Machine Learning ("ML") models are trained on public web data, and as such do not contain any customer data from your tenant. In the future it's possible we will use customer data to improve accuracy of the ML models, in which case the data handling of ML models will follow the same policies as any other customer content (including data residency, retention, access control, sensitivity).”
Because it used to feel like Firefox was on our side. At some point over the last 20 years it started to feel like they didn't care about us anymore. It felt like they cared more about attracting others than keeping us around because they know we're stuck without any viable alternatives. Everybody has always known Chrome was evil, so no one bothered getting an emotional attachment, at best the only argument anybody had in favor of chrome was that it was fast.

HN code formatting is simple, prefix each line with 2 spaces and then you don't need any extra blank lines like with normal paragraphs.

Reinforced cabin doors and knowing that the terrorists want to kill everyone instead of taking hostages has changed the game. I'm not privy to what influences terrorists but it seems like they can no longer commandeer airplanes
Maybe because people in the know think that Chrome is pure evil and Firefox should be the shiny knight in golden armor to behead the evil monster, but in reality it's a clown disguised as a knight.

The announcement reads:
"more than 1 billion people around the world who live with disabilities."

And with the new ocr image feature they will all become Firefox users, just watch the usage statistics in the next few months.

That's why.
That's a unique thought I hadn't considered yet. Another may be amphetamine(esque) psychosis or narcissism/sociopathy.
Right, I'm not a microbiologist, but it seemed like similar genes might be involved for chemoautotrophy(?) that we would expect in early earth-based life at a vent system as for rock-boring microbes that could survive a trip from Mars to Earth. I appreciate you replying, though. :)

You are deliberately avoiding the counter-points I already specifically addressed in response to that question to the point we are stuck in a loop, so I am going to leave this thread now.

This really brings back memories of my childhood. I grew up on a small family farm, and all of our butter came from the cream from our own cows. Not only are there huge differences between kinds of butter, there are also huge seasonal differences between the milk produced by cows, and hence, the butter. When dandelions are in bloom, it's going to be yellower and more fragrant, and definitely more sour when the sorrel is sprouting. It was always a surprise what you'd get, even when using the same process.
If you're willing to share, I'd be interested to see your custom notebook design. I've recently been laying out a few custom productivity "things" - like a continuous calendar - and can always do with more ideas.

Firefox team has a history of making huge, sweeping UI changes which users absolutely hate. Chrome has remained largely unchanged since its first version. Users that chose Firefox because of the way the UI works at that moment often have the rug pulled out from under them.
Did something similar with a previous incarnation of OpenAI's LLMs - codex.

Far more constrained no doubt but it made some things convenient like finding obscure `ls` flags.
"Use" in this case means theft. It can't be repeated enough, they stole customer funds, and did something with them their self not as an agent for the customer (hesitate to say invested). At best this is like your stock broker cleaning out your account and going to Vegas (and claiming they new how to double "their" stake, and were going to give you 10% returns back).

The whole SBF "effective altruism" is just a variation on solipsism, the belief not being the only one to exist but the only moral actor to exist. That being itself an incredibly selfish or non-altruistic position.
There’s currently controversial archaeological evidence for a younger dryas (12,900 years ago) meteorite impact which caused mass global cooling, though thats one of several theories.

There’s also speculation and some small amount of material evidence that a meteorite airburst the middle east/levant[1] maybe leading to myths of cataclysm like Sodom.

The 1908 blast at Tunguska in Siberia is now widely regarded as a result of a cosmic airbust.

There seems to be a growing body of evidence that large, city-destroying asteroids are actually quite frequent in geological terms. The odds of hitting an actual city are low, but I don’t like those odds

The vast, vast majority of truck owners use it in some way that a passenger vehicle is completely unsuited for. That there exist a handful of urbanites who drive a truck for the looks alone does not discount this fact. I see the trope a lot, however, from people who have never done blue collar labor in their lives. I had a Tacoma before the F350, I used it for camping and carried a roof top tent on a bed mounted rack. It was great, I never went camping more than when I had that truck. It was so easy and carefree to take a trip to the woods with no packing or planning required.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some light brigading going on from rivals. There's also some really lazy frontend devs out there that get indignant about testing on Firefox.

Chrome is the new IE and Google is the new Microsoft. They make up their own standards on a whim, which thanks to market dominance everyone is forced to follow. They collect user data without permission. They waste computer resources. They push people towards other Google products in an anti competitive way.

Mozilla has made some dumb mistakes here and there but it pales in comparison to the very serious threat that Chrome, and Chromium in general has to the free web and to users.

It's worth noting that the complaints below have nothing to do with the article, which shows a pretty promising tech, and are just bagging out FF because just as you said, that's what happens on HN.
Since the interactions of ACE2 and nicotine are well-known, my priors favor the benefit of nicotine in this pandemic. They remain neutral, consequently, with regard to smoking, because while smoking does deliver nicotine, it also does lung damage with heat and particulates, and delivers carcinogenic and oxidative creosotes.

> I have no idea why some people here on HN say that it doesn't understand logic when it can refactor like that?

could you try to add some logical/calculation bug in the code and ask it to fix it?..
It's true that there are a lot of limitations still, but I think you are underestimating how powerful it can get with the right input prompt. For example for your task I wrote:

>You are a professional puzzle solver. Only answer with the element in the list that does not fit. Do not include an explanation. Do not write anything except the element that does not fit. Dog, 1, 2, 3

Dog

>Computer, Phone, Tree, Microwave

Tree

>red, blue, green, dog

dog

It seems to perform quite a lot better in my short time of testing than before which seems quite extraordinary to me. Now that is not to say you can't find a bunch of examples where it fails or that it is even close to human level for this particular task. But this still seems like a huge technological advancement to me and I did not expect that ai systems would be at this level quite so soon.
When I was in school, there was a guy with a large over-ear hearing aid in one of his ears. I asked him about it.

He said he was cleaning his ear one day with a q-tip. His sister snuck up behind him with an aired up paper bag and popped it. "BOO!" He jumped and smashed the q-tip into his ear.
Wouldn't you just have to show that stores located in areas with equal or higher crime rates were not shut down?
Yeah, that is pretty much the idea. It will raise the bar.

This kind of stuff happens in cycles though. Once there was black and white photography, and hand-colouring those black and white pictures with a brush was a popular job in high demand. The color film changed that, moving those jobs to a niche reserved for artists.

Some decades later, Photoshop was popularized and touching up photos became a thing again. Something we didn't even imagined that was needed anymore, and now looks trivial, was suddenly on high demand. Some skills were transferred to the new thing, but we can't say people skilled in hand-colouring are good digital image artists though. Not generally.

A good hand-colourer might had focused on "never making a mistake" so it doesn't ruin the picture. Now that skill is irrelevant, we have infinite undos.

Software development nowadays favors pragmatism and values bit shaving abilities that are hard to hone. Complex solutions for problems are discouraged because it imposes a huge cognitive load on maintainers and refactorings.

ChatGPT might change that to favor broad generalist megalomaniacs who are able to come up with solutions involving exotic combinations of algorithms and techniques that would require an army of previous-generation developers to maintain. It might favor large refactorings and rewrites that are commonly frowned up in the current culture so no one thinks about them.

I don't actually know, my point is that the skillset might drastically change.
It is a shame that Lego Duplo and Lego trains aren't compatible. One of my favourite demos of the sheer awesomeness of Lego is connecting a 2x4 Duplo with a 2x4 Lego block. Any way round. If you've never tried this, do it now :-)
