Predictive policing isn't about predicting crimes. Like other trends before it, like "police psychics"[0], it's about manufacturing probable cause.

It's a tool for police departments looking to meet their quotas and justify their ever-increasing budgets. Public safety is nowhere on the list of priorities.

I figured it was so you can identify the user who ran the command in an audit, instead of everyone just appear as "root"

This goal can still be performed if auditd is enabled. The transition from non-root to root is tracked with the right rules in place. In my opinion it is best to rely on auditd and immutable after being tested rules as there are many ways to elevate privileges and many ways to improperly configure or bypass sudo. Auditd has a plugin to log directly to syslog and/or forwarded to ELK, Splunk or other tools. Auditd is also important when applications are exploited and someone then uses a privilege escalation vulnerability otherwise the person will just run it again after the machine/VM/container is re-imaged. Sudo was never intended to be a security control as much as it was to give a non sysadmin the ability to restart something or launch an on-demand process that required root or other accounts despite people using it in their documented controls. Many people will disagree with me on this as has been the case since the inception of sudo.

One caveat being auditd with the most useful rules in place can get rather noisy and more to the point, costly in terms of storage and/or Splunk license. It comes down to the priorities of an organization or business.

It looks like you're relating 2019 individual incomes with 2023 median household rents. A better comparison would be with 2023 household incomes (the median household has more than one income, and one person households are mostly renting smaller/cheaper than the median home).

The 70-percentile US household income was $113,200 in 2021. In 2023 it's likely over $120k (since the median growth of 2022 vs 2021 was 5.4%). The 2023 median US household income is probably around $75k

Everyone leaves eventually, even if by retirement or death.

A great many people say they’ll leave ‘any day now’, or ‘after my next paycheck’ - but then somehow never do.

On the employer side, they care about output and costs, and the longer people stay (and keep producing) without need for raises or increased expenses, generally the lower their costs and the greater their output.
That sounds plausible but the bluetooth is barely part of making the scheme work, in your scenario they directly modified the hardware.

This is why in my state, if you rear-end someone then you are automatically presumed to be at fault. "They slammed on the brakes unexpectedly" is not a defense. You should have left adequate braking distance so that wouldn't cause an accident.
You're right, "mediocre" is too negative a connotation. "Acceptable" is better. That's the feeling the name gives me. A phone that will be just fine.

I assume that is just the journalist summing up all of the possible maximum sentences as they usually do.

It's really hard to say. On one hand he's a privileged white guy. On the other he stole from a lot of rich people. Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years, but in reality anything over 20 was a life sentence for him. I'm kind of expecting the court to throw the book at SBF simply because he was so brazen about it. When you get that far out of line people want to make an example out of you.
This seems like the inevitable outcome. Hosting pirated media for any purpose is going to draw moneyed attention, and doing so for a purpose as controversial as AI training doesn't help. Multiple authors I follow have expressed their disapproval of their works being included in that dataset.

I feel like the real environmental problem we have is chemical pollution we are generating throughout the world, and I feel like these companies are diverting people's attentions with carbon and global warming. Yes, that is a problem but I feel like the chemical pollution in our waters and in our food supply is a much more immediate issue. Yet almost no focus is done on it. It very much feels like what the sugar industry did back in the 1960s to divert attention away from sugar and onto fats, which lead to decades of wrong advice and bad food habits.

Consider the following three taxation systems:

A: 20% up to $10k, then 15% up to $100k, then 10% on income above that

B: 15% on all income

C: 10% up to $10k, then 15% up to $100k, then 20% on income above that

Using the standard terms, A is regressive, B is flat, and C is progressive. But using your terms the "trend goes in the right direction" for all three.

I'm not attached to tire taxes being progressive; my objection here is about diluting the meaning of progressive and regressive.

(My preferred approach here, as in lots of places, is https://www.jefftk.com/p/pricing-benefiting-everyone : tax the thing without worrying about the tax being regressive, and pair it with a strongly progressive equal-per per-person transfer.)

The point is their materials are more ethically sourced and workers are treated better than with those other phones (hence the name). It costs money to do that, because you are internalising social costs that other manufacturers are externalising. That explains the price difference and to answer your question the target market is people who care enough about such things to pay it.
I'm sure the nuance is not lost on the people that made the decision.

Your anecdote sounds like much of America; Where subsidized housing is a bandaid on income inequality and stagnated wage growth, in addition to the US's largest demographic shift in a century.

Your town could seemingly cut out the middleman (the taxpayer) by raising minimum wage (which would either decrease opportunities or increase housing affordability). Ideally, increasing the highest margin progressive property and income taxes also to reduce income inequality and housing prices - while lowering the lower marginal brackets.
Every driver should be prepared to hit the breaks at any given moment with enough room not to hit whatever is in front of them. Period.

I am a little confused by this. Firstly, Gizmodo is reporting on somebody else's investigation:

> A new joint investigation by The Markup and Wired...

And when I go to the page about actual investigation by The Markup [1]

> Our investigation stopped short of analyzing precisely how effective Geolitica’s software was at predicting crimes because only 2 out of 38 police departments provided data on when officers patrolled the predicted areas. Geolitica claims that sending officers to a prediction location would dissuade crimes through police presence alone. It would be impossible to accurately determine how effective the program is without knowing which predictions officers responded to and which ones they did not respond to.

Also, later in the article

> Plainfield officials said they never used the system to direct patrols.

Given all this, it's somewhat simplistic to say it's "pretty terrible at predicting crimes", even though that makes for a good clickbait headline. It seems that the software was intended to identify high-crime areas that to target for patrolling, which doesn't seem like a huge problem to me -- but it seems like the software was never actually used as intended in the first place.

I'll bet you a beverage of your choice that it will have at least a 6-speed transmission (whether that's manual, automatic or manumatic). A 4- or 5-speed isn't out of the question (The RX-8 had a version with a 4-speed automatic), so I'm giving you a bit of edge over your prediction of a 2-speed.

To be fair, I should point out that TFA predicts an 8-speed automatic.
This has been quietly going on for some time, at least since the West imposed limits and price caps on Russia's exportation due to the Ukrainian war.

Now, I just don't understand why nobody has said anything yet. The delta is just way too big and oil far too valuable a resource for stuff like this to go unnoticed for as long as it has.

Granted, I understand that India is kind of on its own geopolitically and part of their strategic interests might be securing a closer tie with Russia (for whatever reason), and this might be a bribe-in-kind of some sort, but still, I am quite confused as to how this has gone under the radar for as long as it has.
For sure. And, at the risk of being pedantic, a plug-in hybrid can still be a parallel hybrid - series vs. parallel is about how the ICE power gets to the ground, whereas plug-in vs not is about the existence of a way to charge the hybrid battery packs separate from the ICE engine or regenerative breaking (or whatever else that's not electric power from a wall outlet).

> I want EVs to succeed but they simply don’t make sense for all use cases yet.

I think they do? There's a couple really small corner cases, like if you're on the road 99% of the time for work, or live in sub-zero temperatures all year long, or something exceptional like that. But EVs are already there right now for everything non-exceptional people use cars for. The things people think EVs can't do are the kinds of things people think they need to be able to do, but don't actually ever do, like go on 400 mile road trips every week with zero stops. YAGNI.

I really like Mazda, too. They make good stuff, and their recent "anti-touchscreen" stance really jives with me[1].

In the US, it’s always considered the fault of the person who read ends someone.
How does Mazda have the mental energy and monetary budget for their endless series of fruitless journeys into weird forms of combustion? They still haven't made that Skyactiv-X thing work, their Miller cycle engines never worked right even though everyone else now makes Miller cycle engines, and rotary engines are only good for the track where the owner is willing to rebuild it hourly.

The example contains an asterisk in the allowed commands field. That's not something you would normally do with users who would not otherwise have root privileges. There are (figuratively) an unlimited number of ways to compose commands that do arbitrary things. Security audits explode in complexity.

Always list every literal command that is allowed. Make a command wrapper if necessary. (Also, never allow arbitrary environment variables.)
Most of what you you say is credible. But it comes down to a personal choice about the balance of probabilities for where objective knowledge really resides.

I do not trust myself, as one flawed, idiosyncratic and individual brain.

I am more likely to trust the established objective view of other consciousnesses. The scientific method is (should be) a collective network of communicating, iterating, self-correcting consciousnesses, which operates according to robust rules and procedures established (evolved) by previous generations of collaborating consciousnesses. Of course, it is also flawed, but over long periods of time, it usually gets better answers than the intuition of individuals.

If I think I can drive, but I am drunk, and a good friend tells me I'm drunk and I should not drive, then I should believe them, not me.

If I think I have some medical symptoms, I tell a doctor. However, an individual doctor can be corrupted by mis-education, ignorance, their own psychological issues, or their own financial gains for various treatments. So I ask multiple doctors, but they may have a consistent bias. But if I don't trust any rational explanation of my symptoms, then yet another doctor may diagnose shape-shifting hypochondria or paranoia against doctors. Who to believe? It's not obvious, but it's not obviously me over all others.

No they are not. Japan is perfectly fine without trucks of peace, grenade attacks, and gang assaults on women.
This is so cool!!! Nice job on it!
There are enormous digital libraries being used for training where authors will have no recourse in preventing this from happening. To continue, those performing model generation just have to either avoid certain jurisdictions or not announce what they're doing. I am not unsympathetic to author feelings on the topic, but regulation in this regard moving faster than bits and compute will be challenging to say the least. For these small dataset amounts currently discussed (<1PB), the cost to geographically relocate is obviously trivial.

TLDR Model training will go "dark" or underground, with models distributed like illicit content.
Philosophically, I agree with you completely. But practically, how would we measure that let alone enforce it?

While it may not be direct, groups like internet incels blame lack of sexual contentment for basically their entire life situation and there are tinges of fascism in a lot of their ideology. A lack of agency in one aspect of life might increase the desire for control/belonging in another aspect.
“ A pedestrian crossing a San Francisco street on Monday night was hospitalized in critical condition after she was hit by two cars — first a regular vehicle which hurled her into the path of a driverless taxi that then ran her over, stopping on top of her as she screamed in pain, according to witnesses, investigators and the autonomous taxi company.”

It’s a little difficult from the description to know what a human would have done in the second car. Can’t tell how much time there was to stop.

Also, when driving behind someone you should always be prepared to stop. It doesn’t matter why the car in front stops.

Interchangeable parts between models is really hard, since your support burden kind of explodes when you have to support several parts for several models, so it would probably not be sustainable for a smaller company like Fairphone

With that said, I remember a Fairphone representative saying they were looking into if they could provide upgrades for the FP5 down the line, as the longer lifespan of this model might makes it economically feasible for them

I wouldn't base any purchase on that until there's an official announcement though

Personally I'm happy enough with the value proposition as it is to be getting myself an FP5
The premise is that spending more once is worth it. If you don't need a lot of compute, you probably could have gotten a still high-end machine for 1/3 the price.
