Yes. Police are allowed to lie during interviews/interrogations [2]. However, they are not allowed to lie during trial.

Those in the US have the right to remain silent, and the right to an attorney. After invoking either or both of those rights, the interrogation must stop [1].

The only limit to deception during interrogation that I am aware of is that some states limit police from lying to minors [2].

Only thing that "killed" my older Air (I want to say 2016, but 2012 probably would have had the same issue): it couldn't run Zoom backgrounds without a green screen.

I usually paid 2/3rd of the cost of my upgraded model by parting out my old one. Thanks to Apple restricting parts (and their continued upgrades), the spare parts had good value. Sold everything (including the screws, people want OEM), except the battery.
I think 2-5 are pretty unlikely and/or impractical given the conflicting demands on officer time in the real world.

For context, my city has a 20 minute average response time for priority #1 911 calls (violent crime in progress). Response time for priory #2 & #3 calls is around 6 hours ( non-violent crime in progress, in progress disputes, just completed felonies, and stolen cars).

There are 10,000 ShotSpotter events a year.

As much as I wish it weren't the case, I simply dont think looking for casings, getting statements, and or performing a search is likely to be the highest demand for police time.
There's plenty of choice of media in the West. But its like having 50 different flavours of Chips in a supper market. It's mostly the same few political ideas peddled with different wrapper. And what you think free, is actually pretty controlled and contrived.
Sorry but security updates are required. They just don’t have to be expensive.
Completely the same, sometimes it does something cool but a lot of the time I start writing a comment to get it to generate even something simple like e.g. some boilerplate test code and it can’t manage it. It’s happened often enough that I don’t bother most of the time now.

Plus it really annoyingly doesn’t seem to handle quotes and brackets, if I’m halfway through writing a line of code and it suggests a reasonable completion I’ll press tab and it’ll fuck up all the brackets and quote marks, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here but it really annoys me.

We had a guy from Github do a demonstration for us and the most complicated thing he got it to do was write some getters and setters for a class representing a linked list iirc. And even then he spent more time having to cycle through suggestions to find one that he wanted than he would have spent just writing it out of his head.

Yet to be convinced personally.
> Prudeness? You have no idea what you're talking about. This accusation of "prudeness" is precisely the kind of insult predatory men hurled at women during the '60s and '70s to try to coerce women into bed. "What are you, a prude? A square?" It is actually libertinism that has bred the widespread sexual dysfunction that we are seeing.

We can have a consent culture and healthy and open sex lives. For example swinger clubs and polyamory are becoming more common again despite explicit consent being totally normal these days. But the other side society of seems to frown more and more on such things.

And I'm not accusing an individual of anything. Just describing society as a whole. In particular people are becoming more and more concerned about what other adults consensually do in the bedroom again. Even though it's none of their business. Like transphobia, homophobia, porn.. 10 years ago people wouldn't pass judgment on those things.

> Alas, corrupt governments back pornography because of its utility in controlling the populace.

So instead of this you advocate... controlling the populace using legal, media and social pressure?:

> Its production and distribution at the very least should be criminalized, and taboos that shame and stigmatize its consumption should be revived and promoted in the media.

I'm sure you know that telling people what to think isn't going to work.
Pet psychics are making their way from the fringe to socially acceptable
Cute but surely those devices, accounts and IPs will all be banned, along with the developer who used the service? I wouldn't play around with my account like that personally.
TikTok is full of Asian content that it promotes: there is still so much Chinese, Korean, Japanese, even some Indian content on tiktok even in an average westerner's feed. Some of this is straight taken form Douyin (by content creators in those country who want to earn money on tiktok).
why not use `shuf` from GNU core utils for the random and `convert` from ImageMagic for the png to jpg?

Is this similar to how they developed the Falcon 9 platform?
Can you tell me more about how the tragedy of the commons is a myth? I am no economist, but I thought it was a straightforward and well understood outcome.

I really don't understand why all the actually brilliant people at Google, Apple, etc, are never allowed to make user-facing decisions.
They are very legit and well researched articles, probably the most accurate in terms of tech news(semaphore is pretty good as well). However, for niche audience news, subscription is probably the only sustainable way to build a business
'Alarming': convincing AI vaccine and vaping disinformation
The exercise:

"Within 65 minutes they had produced 102 posts targeted at groups including young adults, young parents, pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. The posts included fake patient and clinician testimonials and scientific-looking referencing."

The proposal:

"Kuperholz believes a combination of measures are needed to protect against disinformation, including holding publishers of the content to account, whether that be social media platforms or individual authors."

In other words, the good old liability debate again. Also:

"He also believes technology can be built to assess the output of other artificial intelligence platforms and whether the information is reliable."

Not going to work, I argue. Finally:

“We still do not have any strong evidence that the presence of misinformation online is associated with changes in behaviour,” he said.

I am not sure whether I agree. Does the dear Prof. follow politics?
Especially since that particular task has been done thousands upon thousands of times. I have done it to win arguments on Hacker News[0]. It wouldn't surprise me if the exact code to do it (except for changing file names and number of lines) existed on Stack Overflow.

Well, I don’t know if Google thinks Apple could come up with a decent search engine or not. But to your later point, yeah. If Apple developed their own search engine, it would be the default on iOS. And as long as it wasn’t complete garbage, lots of people would leave it be. (And if someone did update it, would they actually pick Google these days?).

Because it’s not “will Apple come up with something that makes Google Search obsolete”, it’s “will Apple come up with something that diminishes search traffic from iOS devices?
Maybe in plain English explain what this does?

... and so do Windows machines. Windows 10 will EOL in July 2025. My Threadripper 1950X, still outperforming most of today's mid-range CPUs, isn't allowed into the Windows 11 world. Why? Who knows?

But yes, I didn't realize that Logic Pro was no longer compatible with macOS versions before 12. So, if this person wanted an indestructible laptop that could run Logic Pro, have a hi-res screen and be upgraded to a 1TB drive, a 2015 Macbook Pro would certainly have been the thing. Hey look, they're $300 on Swappa!

But yes, eventually, we all need to upgrade.
I've come to think that the so-called "most peaceful era in human history" as the post-Cold War era has been often called is more aptly "most peaceful era in western history".

Plenty of strife and conflict can be and are found where most western eyes generally don't look.
To be blunt, i got into programming (nearly 30 years ago) for the results, not the process. In fact if anything i consider the process a sort of burdensome necessity on the way to getting the results i'm actually after.

Anything that shortens the path is good by me.
It wouldn't surprise me if the O(n log n) sorting solution is faster than the O(n) hashing solution, because of better memory locality.

The first answer that popped into my head was a shell pipeline, "cat file1 file2 | sort -k [pattern for customer ID] | awk -f ..." where the awk part just scans the sort output and checks for both dates and two pages within each customer-ID cluster. So maybe 10 lines of awk. It didn't occur to me to use hash tables. Overall it seems like a lame problem, given how big today's machines are: 10,000 page views per second for 2 days, crunching each record into 64 bits, means you can sort everything in memory. If 10 million views per second then maybe we can talk about a hadoop cluster. But 10k a second is an awfully busy site.

I actually had a real-life problem sort of like this a while back, with around 500 million records, and it took a few hours using the Unix command line sort utility on a single machine. That approach generally beat databases solidly.
Why do you say the snippets are small? They don’t get trained on the full source files?
I think all the Airs have been solid. I have a 2015 one.
Yeah, this author sounds more of an up-and-coming software developer. The cited example is something that someone should be easily able to do in their day to day language.

The ability for chatGPT to essentially translate/expand your knowledge out to other languages (eg “how do I read in a file to utf8 again” ). It’s all just more leverage and power to solve the mundane, faster. The key point is you have to know the rough solution space already.
I don't really care about our species. More about self discovery without artificial social taboos.

Mating was so regulated by culture (mostly religion though) due to the obvious link to the procreation thing, but these days those are no longer coupled so the taboos aren't necessary.
Businesses will lose money though, if not from the initial hack then eventually due to loss of the publics trust, ect, if the hack is made public knowledge.

Surely the gov lost a lot of money from this hack assuming they had to hire consultants, ect just to deal with this massive oversight.
You need to ask him what accommodations he needs in order to be effective. Only he can really answer this question.

It could be small things like clearly indicating your intent - avoid sarcasm, figurative language and idioms. In a group chat this could mean adding "/joke" to messages. Autistic people generally like structure. Ensure your task tracker is clean and to-the-point. The benefit of this is it also help non-autistic colleagues.
I'm curious why would they need to do this. They are ahead of Google (and are arguably less evil), so the best people should naturally want to go to them. Besides, they probably already have all the people they need, now they just need more GPUs to test ideas.
I want to like the article. I subscribe to the Atlantic, but the article ends abruptly and raises some disparate study results which awkwardly point to some sort of hazy thesis. If we spend more time outdoors, we are more connected and less lonely? It's the trend of "asking questions" rather than making a clear statement. Can being outside increase our potential to be happier and more aware of our community? Probably. Maybe? That's it. That's the article.
Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Top athletes can make hundreds of millions. For a company looking to lock down talent in a fast moving market, it would be strange to not be offering large compensation packages.
Reports of things that actually happened. And does it matter what the source is if it's true?
The 420 with Windows 7 is my personal idea of the peak of desktop computing. 2011 was also around the peak of computing in general considering it was right before social media turned hellish psyop and smartphones became distraction / disempowerment devices.
If the job is log file processing, it's an entirely reasonable question.

But most jobs are not log file processing.

It's ridiculous to generalise this sort of thing:

"We are cooking soup here at Amazon Soup Kitchen. My favorite interview question is to ask candidates to bake a cake, that's the real test of any cook."
Anyone aware of when actually companies will start rolling out support? I know the deadline is 31 March so are they going to wait for the exact end of it or start early?

Second, will people outside of EU get these third party chat support /
"The advancement of science in space requires a fishing license." - Nostraconfuscious (probably)
I grew up in a large metropolis, and lived there for 30+ years.

I can't stand it anymore. I found out I really enjoy living in the countryside, with access to some nature.

I associate nature not to loneliness, but to solitude, which I usually find desirable. And the bustle of people around me is deeply annoying. I can enjoy going to a cafe when it is mostly empty. If I start to listen to people talk, I feel an urge to leave.

I wonder if it has something to do with a personal trait, or to the specific metropolitan area I grew up in that made me dislike crowded places so much.
this is not my observations. I researched few news stories like that, and it was like "someone told someone" without a chance of verification.

I bet this one is also like that.

I would argue that in most cases where performance isn’t a constraint, the first algorithm that comes to mind is probably the most optimal choice. He even says:

> About 80% of the candidates go for the naive solution first. It’s easiest and most natural.

The “naive solution” will be easier to understand and maintain. Why make it harder if it doesn’t add value?

This article mentions "good" and "great" candidates many times.

How is the author determining which candidates are great? Do "great" candidates answer the questions the best, or is the interviewer following up 1-2 years after hire and examining the impact of the person?

Great candidates aren't those who can answer DS & algorithms questions the best, but it seems that the author thinks that way.
You are dreaming and there is no way that will happen.
ICBC Hackers Used Methods Previously Flagged by U.S. Authorities
The problem is not that I don't know the algorithm... the problem is that to implement the algorithm you need to remember what method from what class does the thing you want to do. And knowing that is very difficult, even for seemingly simple problems. That's why Google is the way to program modern programming languages. (Of course I could do the same task without any libraries, but in that case it would be considered bad by most modern programmers, because it would be a sign that I "don't know how to use the language properly"...)
I dunno, I think it's pretty evil to misuse the word "open" like that
Its the utter domination of capitalism that they truly do not realize how ridiculous they look every day. Capitalism has answered all that communists and socialists could never even fathom, and more. It used to be a caricature to portray the rich as fat men with monocles, now the world is in an obesity crisis.

Leftists are stuck in the 1800s, and the only thing they do is talk like it as well. They really have nothing else going for them. Its all a performance, we can only hope that the few that are honest would admit it.
The comment you’re replying to is making that point: that people who earn a decent wage from the knowledge economy are threatened by AI and oppose it because of their interest in the current system’s inequality.

It follows that if it is unjust for those who are knowledge workers then it is unjust for those who are service workers (unless you can morally differentiate them).

Perhaps if inequality is wrong then it’s the system that creates inequality that should be looked at rather than preserving rent seeking by knowledge workers refusing to compete with AI while perpetuating inequality on those who aren’t powerful in the current economy?

Food for thought.
It’s obvious by the next few sentences that he means “others interpret this in an ambiguous way”, given how many people he says get it wrong
Kind of ...

Would a native Hawaiian, consider themselves free, that they live under Western Laws. They have western freedoms, and democracy, and all the shiny trinkets. But now also lack autonomy, and the real control over their native land. Democracy is kind of useless to a Native Hawaiian, when they'll be outvoted by outsiders every time.
I think plenty of them would just want their land back. And Westerners can shove it.

I think "contemporary western values" is just a feel good saying, a pretty wrapper, on economic expansionist policy ... globalism.

And there are plenty of taboo topics in the West too, and it's enforced as well. Celebrities have handlers, FBI goes around planting informants and extorting dissenters for political gain. People get canceled, fired from jobs for saying dissenting opinions. And its done in the name of "social harmony" and greater good here as well.
Why not, indeed? There must be a deeper point these people are trying to make. ImageMagick is not obscure, is it?
I didn't have to read very far:

> ...they can render before JavaScript

what? Because web components are written in and run on magic?

> a design of composability... composing core content with HTML and then wrapping it in a custom element that enhances its contents with additional functionality

Put aside the self-reference, that's not what composability usually means, but I guess that sounds fancy to the uninitiated
Best case, they get to test the new sound dampening, armored pad, armored pad cooling, igniting all the engines on the pad, booster launch, staging, booster fly back, booster descent, booster landing (though not on anything solid). If that works they have a booster floating in the Gulf of Mexico they need to clean up.

For Starship they get to test staging, engine in vacuum, bellyflop control from very high altitude to sea level. Apparently all the way to sea level. They do not appear to be planning the reignition and flip. They may set the record for "most powerful bellyflop".

All the excitement is in the first 9 minutes of the flight. A little over an hour later the Starship's "orbit" will intersect too much atmosphere and will re-enter for about 12 minutes.

As for why not to try landing the Starship on water, I think they'll play with all their available fuel mass in vacuum. Those engines haven't operated there yet.
Multiple sources say speeding is the main cause. One source disagrees: drivers who love speed :D
Comparing what exists against the ideal is not a good assessment in my opinion. You've already become acclimated to the GPT that exists. "poorly simulated intelligence" using LLMs was unfathomable 5 years ago. In another 5 years we'll be far into the deep.
Isn't this the common advice for software engineers?
X220 for the compact version. With the 9 cell? Hnnnngg
Eventually it'll all be just drones. Pandora's unbox-like jar thing and so on.

No they won't.

They will say stuff. And don't get me wrong here -they will say a lot of useful, high value stuff. As they should

As will many others.

Those of us who believe in the scientific method, peer review, etc... will watch the method be applied vigorously and arrive at meaningful examples of AGI.
