There’s the concept of negligence.

If you distill it down, it essentially comes down to not doing things that no law explicitly requires (lest you end up with walls and walls of law books simply describing very specific matters), but can be reasonably expected of you to have done.

What’s reasonable depends from time period to time period and the norms that exist, nevertheless the concept exists.

A good example would be you owning a house with a balcony in an unincorporated area where no law exists that sets requirements on structural integrity of such things.

You’re aware that the balcony might be a bit iffy and it has been decades since last it was checked out by a professional.

You have guests over, you don’t bother telling anyone to stay away from the balcony.
Some of your guests walk underneath the balcony, or worse, they go out onto the balcony to have a smoke.

The balcony collapses and your guests get injured or die.

You’re on the hook for negligence. Specifically negligence that resulted in tort in this case.

Hell, in some places, depending on the prosecutors in the area and the laws on the books, you might even be criminally liable for negligent homicide.

My comment on the EU and the regulations there isn’t to imply that the laws there apply to here in the US, rather it’s used (and could be used in real life) as a way to argue that the solution is inexpensive and not implementing it could be considered negligent because there is an easy solution available due to that regulation.
Would require massive inter-continental wealth transfers that are not politically feasible.

Like it would require countries like the US redirecting a substantial portion of their industrial output towards building homes in sub-saharan Africa.
> Dr. Lum's point was that predictive policing software merely hides this dynamic under a layer of black-box ML crap. Because the training data is itself the result of this type of bad policing, the resulting model can only further engrain these practices, it can't offer truly novel solutions.

Anyone can lie with statistics, but this isn’t really how ML works. Such a model would not appear to perform well, in addition to not performing well.

If you had a model that predicted the probability of getting a drug arrest it should work just fine even if you give it an abundance of examples of going to the same area if it as still the same rate as other places. That is to say it should not learn these areas are different
Designing Dex: research language for typed, functional array processing [pdf]
I'm confused what the real point of these essays are. Is it supposed to be a critique of the nature of mass media and our perceptions? Or is it a critique of the Gulf War?
I can believe this. We're 100% remote company, and it's great. But, we recently had a 2 day all staff in person meeting, and even the introverts came to me afterwards and said how enjoyable it was. I think what's key is not trying to force things. And I know, this isn't hybrid, but it highlights the importance of seeing each other once in awhile.
If it makes you feel any better, there's now a person in your old job being stressed the same way!
For starters it means reading the job ad and understanding if you are even a fit for it. You can then take the various keywords in the job description and make sure those are the ones you use and not some variant that HR won't realizes is the same thing. Generally you can tell they are looking for someone to do something in particular so you can add a line or two about doing something like that, while taking away some other line they don't care about. (In the US we use resume not CV, resumes are support to be short: once you have been around for a few years there will be things you can do that just don't fit on the page)

If you are just finishing college [or worse looking for an internship] you will have trouble putting enough on a page to attract attention. Once you have been around for a few years though you should be cutting things - and that means there are things potentially relevant you can put back on.

It also depends on how focused you are. If you are only interested in OpenGL 1.1 jobs you would cut anything not related that and just have a single resume that you don't need to focus. I used openGl 1.1 to make a point: it is obsolete so normally you wouldn't put anything about it on a resume - but there is a small chance you would encounter it as a nice to have in an otherwise interesting job (If the job wants someone who knows Vulkan but is 10% maintaining old products: openGl 1.1 might catch their attention even though you have no Vulkan experience)

>This creates a bad feedback loop where they were basically busting the same neighborhoods and demographics over and over again

One would except drug usage to go down in neighborhoods where it is slightly enforced meaning that they should move on to another location. If there is a problem population which never gets better then permanently having increased coverage would make sense.
It’s like that in Boston too, according to my CVS manager friend from years ago.

When I first heard about it I knew it was going to be some sort of "public" AI, which makes it a no-go for me for work stuff.

I do daily drive it for work, though, and have found the tab management to be really great. I know I can emulate some of the features with other add-ons in Firefox, but it's more elegant in Arc.

Glad to see a company thinking somewhat fresh in this space.
I feel exactly the same way. I’d probably be happier wrt to work if I could be hybrid but being remote lets me live in a smaller town, in a place I love for everything else. I wouldn’t trade it for pretty much anything.
What a pity... it seemed like "what should DEC doing in the 90s, and how is it related to DEC's historical identity?" was the question when looking back at their 90's strategy – and it seemed like thoughtfully engineered hardware, even if on a commodity architecture, is one of them.

Even if it wasn't the full stack integration from semiconductor fabrication, to OS and networking, that they were used to.
And amusingly, I read it as "assume 3 parties, Amazon, Target, Y. Target has a sale, so Amazon price matches sale. Y was price matching Amazon. Target ends sale, but Amazon and Y have stuck each other on the lower price."

That is, it makes it sound like Nessie was intended to bust some broken price matching logic that would allow other competitors to stick Amazon at lower prices due to interactions with other parties.
Becase the fund that invest on your startup does.

because the board members have leases nearby.

because someone that is invested want you to go there, spend money or create expenses (consume food from cafeteria,etc.)

[Former employee of several years.] Generally speaking, I would say if Autodesk believes open source can advance a business goal, it will support that open source project. But I never got a sense of Autodesk sort of culturally or in a deeply embedded way caring about open source. High marks for how they treat employees and as a place to work, but not an OS leader.

"This argument is ridiculous" only because you keep shifting goalposts and refusing to actually back up anything you're saying while just repeating your personal belief that mathematics has always been rote memorization of algorithms.

If it was that way, there would not be so much variation between performance in math around the world, as they'd all just be having kids memorize the same stuff.
Google removes Reviews widget when you add the word 'sucks' to a company search
I search for a local company on Google. 'City Boss Roofing Calgary' and there's a bunch of results, and on the right a widget giving basic details about the company.

I decided I wanted to see if I could find some negative news. When I did the same search but added the word sucks my interface flashed as the Company details widget disappeared!

An interesting design problem that they seem to have taken a pretty opinionated stance on. I think it probably tacitly dissuades people who don't like the company from leaving reviews.

If you know a good roofing company in YYC...

A lot of these houses can't be rented due to climate change legislations. That's the inconvenient truth. Governments can't have it both ways, no matter how hard they try. Climate change policies will be extremely costly for the population. Fixing houses so that they conform current regulations costs a lot of money.

> If governments could make living in areas where lots of living space is available attractive, we would not need new houses.

Yes, it requires jobs, services thus infrastructures thus $$$ or €€€ in that case. It also require changes in corporate culture, as corporations are trying to crack down on work from home as we speak. When it comes to education, as well, instead of making students move to Paris or Rome to study, encourage remote education when possible.

There are technological solutions to these problems, certainly.
> Anyone want to try their hand at an actual headline?

"Amazon Used Secret ‘Project Nessie’ Algorithm To Attempt Market Price Manipulation"
Except the houses in China were never built to be lived in.
This headline is pretty misleading. The WSJ headline is much better:

"Meta Plans to Charge $14 a Month for Ad-Free Instagram or Facebook"

Of course, the generally superior WSJ article is behind a paywall, which is funny when the topic under discussion is paywalls.

https://www.wsj.com/tech/meta-floats-charging-14-a-month-for...

I don't use Facebook too much any more, but I pay for ad-free Twitch and I would be happy to pay for ad-free Twitter if it existed. These services don't just build themselves for free, and if you don't like their ads, doesn't it seem fair to pay for them?
Fundamentally if you're going to have laws, and for the laws to mean anything, there has to be a consequence for violating them. There are maybe three ways to do this: financial penalties (fines), community service or some other sort of forced labor/obligations, or incarceration.

If you're not willing to do these things, you should just do away with the law in question. Otherwise you reduce the respect and confidence people have for that law, and by extension all law.
That last point is great. I've definitely seen a lot of people talking about how we need to let the little guy develop their own AI, with very little attention paid to the actual realistic costs of doing so. GPT-4 I believe cost $100 million ish to train.
Ehh, I went to law school and spent some time in biglaw, and interned for a state court judge in CA, did internships, etc--I want to agree with much of what you say, but you're being too cynical I think.

> Trust me on this, "justice" is somewhere down its list of priorities; it cares more for tradition, ritual, and form.

I think is somewhat true, and is a generally applicable criticism of law and lawyers. I don't think values like justice are far down their list of priorities, but I think tradition etc. are just given too much weight. Lawyers constitute a tribe and collective which takes itself too seriously, at the end of the day, and don't value self-correction and improvement enough.

There are plenty of noble-minded judges. The reason why litigation becomes expensive, and thus poses fairness issues, is a multi-faceted problem that boils down to a lot of boring things. Most people in law haven't had what I would consider a real job, and the culture of law is too obsequious and deferential for people to understand that the way lawyers have been doing things is usually stupid. They don't have a culture of thinking about how they work, and their personality types are very geared towards external validation, which means they will do things very stupidly if they get accolades and very meager financial bonuses for it, and they mistake such things as markers of actual progress and productivity.

I could go on, and I reckon you have more experience in law than I do (I have been a software engineer for longer than I worked at law firm), but I think at the end of the day, I would remind you and others reading of the adage that one should not jump too quickly to ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Thanks for sharing. Reading the (translated) piece seems more useful here than the Wikipedia summary which spends more time assuming the premise of the work and connecting it to other things.

I don't think it is a good series of essays. It's necessarily scattershot in its argumentation to address the pre-action, concurrent-action, and post-action angles. But almost none of the arguments come across as earnest. I feel like I'm reading a longform series of "gotcha" takedowns with the authorial intent simply to throw wrenches into any discussion without actually proposing anything or materially affecting how the discussion progresses.

'The Vietnam war wasn't a war because US Congress didn't declare war'. Oh man, I feel so dunked upon.

To emphasize my point that Baudrillard is doing nothing more than getting his name into op/ed columns, here's how he disdainfully reacts to a low-casualty high-consequence war.

> There is a profound scorn in the kind “clean" war which renders the other powerless without destroying its flesh, which makes it a point of honour to disarm and neutralize but not to kill. In a sense, it is worse than the other kind of war because it spares life. It is like humiliation: by taking less than life it is taking more than life.

Stop disrupting supply lines, destroying infrastructure, or planning feints. Real wars are all about body counts and nothing more. And don't dare you try military strategy, as that would _humiliate_ the enemy, which we all know is a fate worse than death.
Speculating on price signals of housing is how you get housing in places to respond to demand. People are incentivized to figure out where people are going to move in a few years and build houses there to meet the demand when it arrives - rather than responding late.
Wow, I would've thought these were run on a local model. This sounds like it could get expensive for them quickly, and if I understand correctly these features are available for free? I guess it's only a matter of time until they start charging for them.

EDIT: Per a comment in another thread, these features are only free for 90 days it seems.
For people who talk a lot of crap about Apple for advertising privacy but not delivering: Google responded to the government 84% of the time "with some data" out of 20,000 times requested in 2 years. Apple received 13 requests and returned information ZERO times. It turns out that if you don't store that incredibly lucrative data about users, you can't be on the hook to hand it over in sweeping data requests. Apple may not be perfect, but that has teeth. Full disclosure I work at Apple, thoughts are my own.
Super interesting read, definitely nostalgic. Are you planning to further expand gala's functionality to use a different exploit to gain persistence in the exploit chain for an untethered jailbreak?
Just got back from the grocery store and it was still full of fresh meat and vegetables so its safe to say there are still a few people that haven't moved to the city yet.
If you buy a home without an inspection you're either very deep pocketed and playing a numbers game buying stuff off the market quickly, or very stupid.
Well, while I agree that such people exist, their frequency is vastly exaggerated by popular media.

Many if not most of them can be prevented from ever becoming like that in the first place by eliminating poverty, which is a massive and omnipresent source of stress and trauma for people the world over.

There are sadists, psychopaths, and even pedophiles (defined as "those who are sexually attracted to prepubescent bodies", not "those who commit actual acts of child sexual abuse") who live mostly-normal lives and if they ever desire to hurt others, do not act on those desires. This is a pretty clear signal that the existence of these types of people does not inherently lead to them becoming violent, dangerous, or otherwise causing harm.

Is this a short-term project? Hell no. If a majority of the people in all the countries on Earth decided today to commit to a project to abolish the carceral state, I'd be surprised if we'd see it reach a stage where it's fully abolished within our lifetimes. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't set it as an aspirational goal, and start taking steps toward a world that doesn't have to worry about making a decision between executing innocent people and allowing people to walk free who are genuinely likely to harm others.
Official EU number: in 2021 18% more migrants found their way to the EU compared to 2020. 2.3 million. That's 350 000 more migrants year-to-year from 2020 to 2021. (the official EU site do not give the numbers for 2022 / 2023 yet).

Repeat that for three years and it's the basically this part from TFA:

> Nearly 900,000 people sleep rough or stay in homeless accommodation every night in the EU

Maybe, just maybe, that the EU should stop trying to absorb ever more people year after year because, obviously, there's an ongoing housing crisis and that there's simply no room at the moment to house all these people?

P.S: if I can add something to my already depressing comment... A huge number of the houses and apartments in the EU are way too big and way too old and people don't even have enough money to fix these so that they'd consume less energy. When the prices of natural gaz and electricity skyrocketed I had people around me with yearly bills raise of 4 000 EUR, 5 000 EUR and even one 7 000 EUR year-on-year. These are insane amounts for middle-class europeans. So the issue is not just "not enough housing" in the EU. It's also "way too old and way too energy-hungry housing which cannot be fixed anytime soon".
> Soooooo....it used the algorithm to raise prices, but also lower them?

Lowering prices in the short/medium term to throw out of the market the competition is a way of rising prices in the long term.

You can plug facts of the case into a sentencing calculator like https://www.sentencing.us/ to estimate sentencing guidelines. Sentencing guidelines generally work by look at each offense, compute an "offense level" based on facts of that offense, take the maximum of all offenses [1], and then combine that with a criminal history to yield a range.

I don't know enough of the details to plug it in to get an accurate estimate, but I'm pretty sure he managed to hit the maximum fraud offense level, at which point I'm getting an offense level of 40, which for a first time offender, is 24-30 years. Which is high enough that other factors (such as maximum sentences for crimes) are going to come into play, but it does strongly suggest that realistic prison time is going to be involve decades.

[1] This isn't entirely accurate, but maximum is a more accurate estimate than adding them all up. You actually group offenses by relatedness, and max within groups and sum the various groups, but for most practical purposes, there's only one group of offenses.

I find this amazing! The code read/writes like a high level interpreted language and runs like offline compiled code. The fact that it works in a 'random' browser on a 'random' platform is the cherry on the cake.
My dude, my car doesn't even have aux input, let alone Bluetooth. I have to use a cassette adapter (or an FM transmitter) to get audio into my car. Not everyone, or even close to everyone, has a car made in the last 10 years.

The nice thing about a headphone jack is it's basically universal. It's been around for some 40 years now! Anything you want to pipe into most likely can accept it. I have nothing against Bluetooth, but killing off a universal standard for one which is merely common is very short sighted. It's a perfect example of why people accuse the tech industry of being out of touch with reality.
Braintree Payments (PayPal) shutting down their Marketplace service Dec 2023
I noticed a small alert text on the dashboard of my Braintree Payments account that Paypal is shutting down their Braintree Marketplace service. I believe Stripe Connect is an equivalent service. It allows you to quickly onboard people who are selling their own products/services and it handles the deposits to the individual seller accounts as well as tax filings.

Just thought I would post this here, because this is the first time hearing about it and I will have until December 15 to find an alternative and migrate. They don't even post the date that they are "sunsetting" the product. Their alert says to fill out the support form for more details. (Which requires you to reenter all of your account information, they no longer answer their old support email). There also appears to be no public announcements about this anywhere.

If you are using Braintree or any Paypal product, run, don't walk, to find an alternative, it has been nothing but enshitification since Paypal purchased them.

Funny enough. Interplanetary refers to the ability to know a file created on earth would still hash to the same value if an alien created it on Alpha Centauri. You could both work independently and combine your databases and the distance wouldn’t matter.

That’s seems pretty local to me.
SBF aside, I don't think it's true that a scapegoat must be sinless. Actually I think that's impossible, as the expression goes "Give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I will find something in them which will hang him". In fact I think the best scapegoats have some objective fault which lets you seed the blame for them more easily.
Copyright is like a shit sandwich, just those two words alone prove it’s a derivative work. This is true even if you copied from a copy. Once something is demonstrated as a derivative work, proving your use is fair use is now on the person who created it. That’s normally fairly easy with a book, but harder with LLM’s if they easily spit out large chunks of a clearly copied work.

Remember lawsuits aren’t beyond a reasonable doubt the standard is much lower.
