Body cams were always a band-aid solution on top of over-arming police and granting them almost total immunity from charges of misconduct. The resulting mentality of us-vs-them and mafioso, bullying behavior from police is all down to feeling a cut above “civilians” and being confident in their power to legally murder anyone who’s too resistant.

This behavior also discourages any thoughtful people with integrity from applying, and beats it out of them quickly when they do. The streets would be a lot safer with more citizens performing a genuine public safety role with fewer weapons and chips on their shoulders, but the police lobby essentially holds cities hostage by monopolizing the public safety role and strategically withdrawing from that role in protest whenever an insufficiently deferential policy is passed.
That's almost certainly not the case. In general for vehicles, you're installing signed, verified images. Not only would it be a LOT harder to consistently apply OOVC patches that don't show up anywhere, having signed builds that don't match your source would be a worse red flag than just having the code in version control.

That is a good point. Native Americans prepared for war to kill a brown bear. Not an easy beast to kill even with a rifle. Having some protection from a predator just roaming in and eating people is a good idea.

Roaming predators isn't something most people today even consider. Our predecessors had already killed them all. On the other hand, other humans are far more dangerous than furry carnivores.
Wtf?? The iOS Simulator is a joke, it doesn't remotely reproduce a real iOS Device. The permissions work differently and the graphics of it are very different too - profiling has to be on a real device!

You can load images that represent Android devices in the Android Simulator and reproduce bugs that exist on the device.

I work with both and the Android simulation allows you to go further - which is good since the diversity of devices is bigger.

Both still sucks in the end and you should test on a real device. This is particularly painful because usually the devices you don't use frequently you simply don't charge, so you kinda want to prepare to charge the devices before. You can still plug and run the app while charging but it may give a throttled experience - which when profiling games may slight alter the results (a flashdrive read bottleneck may disappear when comparing to CPU one).

It can be tiered, where more training allows you to do more. On the lower end you have unarmed police giving parking tickets or having to be accompanied by a more highly trained cop who is performing less critical roles.

More training is more pay and benefits, and they have to keep it current by reapplying and showing they've done recent training, like teachers.
I was thinking about YouTube video essays lately. That you can probably throw a dart and you would probably find some video (30m+ long) about how, actually, Friends (sitcom) is a show about Dark Triad personality trait people who are terrorizing Central Perk and Manhatten.[1]

China launches mystery reusable spaceplane for third time
It already is altering civilization, so I don't understand your doubts. I work for a large unicorn tech and in a single year we went from execs saying "we'll look into this AI thing but we assume it is the usual hype" to creating multiple, successful AI products and encouraging developers to use AI software tools because of the recognition of a significant benefit to the business when they are used. We are at the very start of a logistic curve, and that initial exponential rate can seem like nothing. In a few years, we'll really start to feel it and in a decade or so it the change will become a blur, more like an instantaneous shift to another civilization.

Nice, thanks for your work on everything Whisper related. I tested it a couple weeks ago which largely matched the results in the insanely fast whisper notebook. Comparison was with BetterTransformers.

I just reran the notebook with 4.36.1 (minus the to_bettertransformer line) but it was slower (the batch size 24 section took 8 vs 5 min). Is there something I need to change? Going back to 4.35.2 gives the old numbers so the T4 instance seems fine.

I recently got into sewing recently, and I gained a new appreciation for my clothes (generally relatively cheap basics, made overseas).

Somewhere in China/Vietname/Malaysia there's a person, probably a woman, who can sew like 1000x times better than me, churning out perfect garment after perfect garment for like 12 hours a day and getting paid pennies for her mindblowingly good work.

I do like to think I have some talents, that I occasionally make good decisions. But man, 90% of my financial success is luck: right parents, right country, and it just so happens the only thing I'm not awful at (I tried working a mimimum wage retail job at H&M, and while I was barely competent, I feel like I was one of the worst performers there) just happens to be a skillset with lots of well paying employment.
Seconded. I liked the previous GitHub code search where I sort by recency to pick up new mentions of keywords. Now the new search is useless to me.
> Capability-based OSs wind up being significantly slower and very irritating to use.

> For example, look at all the pissing and moaning about SELinux.

SELinux is not a “Capability-based OS.” It’s giant step in a direction that is pretty much opposite to capabilities.

Seriously, try basically anything on Linux that tries to delegate one’s authority to something less privileged (e.g. basically any container runtime). Bind-mount something in, and then watch the kernel grumble about SELinux failures originating inside the container, where the runtime would have appropriate permission but the container processes are labeled differently and don’t.

This happens because SELinux is not capabilities; it’s a very complicated and difficult to configure MAC system, which is pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum.

> Make it a felony to conceal or destroy body cam footage.

Destroying evidence of a crime is already a felony.

Conceal is a tricky one though as depending on placement the camera could definitely be obscured by normal day to day action (like a tussle). But again, if it can shown the action was deliberate, it’d be an action in furtherance of a crime.
Pockets are one of those niches where expressed and revealed preferences collide in ways that defy memeification.

The popular imagination holds the idea that basically any garment can have good, functional, high-quality pockets added to it without consequence. Unfortunately, that's not true. For a common example, you can't just slap good pockets on close-fitting women's jeans. Good pockets need lining and room in the cut to expand. These in turn mean extra cloth. a looser fit, and lots of extra stitching, likely coupled with a higher price. Some of this can be mitigated by using more elastic-heavy material, which comes with a major drop in durability.

How many women are looking to pay a higher price for a baggy butt in exchange for pockets? For those that are, the products exist today. Carhartt happily offers such items for $50-$70. Meanwhile, Shein sells their pieces for $10-$15. Bear in mind the Carhartts will almost certainly last longer than four or five Shein pieces.

I can think of several very high quality denim brands that do work more fashionable than Carhartt. Of course, they charge more than $50 a pair.

In its simplest DIY expression, you can sew a patch pocket on a dress. If you're not very careful in both dress cut and pocket location, the first time you put your phone in your new pocket you will completely wreck the lines of the dress.

Of course, when you're paying $15 a piece you don't expect it to last long. So you buy several. This, I suspect, is where a lot of the pink tax in clothing lies.
What used to be "affordable" in Santa Cruz now exclusively caters to the wealthy. Saying we shouldn't build more because of that is simply nonsensical, because it makes this previously affordable housing even more unaffordable.

Additionally, in Santa Cruz, there are requirements on construction of large multi unit residential buildings that put deed restrictions on rent or purchase price of at least 20% of the units (unless they upped it since I last checked.)

These restrictions fall into a standard system of income bands that are based off of the median income of the area.

This new construction is the only source of affordable housing. Yet we have plenty of people opposing it because "it won't be affordable"
"Artist" in the context of image creation means you're the main supplier of the talent. In other words, you painted the picture yourself and spent time developing your talent. I can make a video recording of you making the picture from scratch with your own hand.

AI "artist" isn't an artist. It's someone who uses an external product to automate the talent for them by creating an average image based on samples created by artists, of which were curated by individuals with particular tastes. It's why AI art mostly looks the same.

It's also the reason a DJ a is called a disc jockey and not a musician. They are labeled differently to show the difference in the generation of the supplied content.

You might as well say that someone who Googles "picture of a dog" is an artist as well since they learned the ins and outs of the search engine. A better term for AI Artist would be something that mentions the collage aspect of it.

Yeah, the ultra low prices of fast fashion have also helped to wreck the thrift store model.

The thrift store I volunteer at has standard prices for most garments: $5 for a T-shirt, $6 for a pair of pants, $8 for a dress, etc. (though very high-end designer items are individually priced in a "boutique" section). While those prices are a great deal for most "mall-based" secondhand items, they're often higher than the new price for Temu/Shein clothes. Volunteers have just been told to throw any donations of those brands away, because it's not even worth it to sort and inventory them. But still items sneak through, so you'll see loads of people online bitching about how "They're crazy if they think I'm going to buy this Shein skirt for $xyz."

Fast fashion is a plague on humanity. So much garbage, and for what, a 5 second dopamine hit after someone taps a buy button?
> I tried several Python libraries to extract HTML content, but none worked as well as the readability one used by Firefox. Since it’s a JavaScript package, I had to resign myself to introducing an optional dependency on Node.js

Mmm, no you don't. In fact, even if you install it with NPM—which you don't have to do, of course—Readability was designed to run in the browser, not on Node.

The "JavaScript" → "Node" logical leap that people make (even in starkly inappropriate circumstances like this one) shows how much damage the warped traditions of the package.json cult have done to good, clear-thinking reasoning.

All true claims are unfalsifiable by definition.

And all true claims cannot be proven by science. Proof is the domain of logic and math, in science you can only falsify things.

I quoted this earlier I'll just quote it again for people who don't believe my second statement about science:

"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong." - Albert Einstein

So your statement applies to literally everything outside of the black hole as well. We literally will not ever prove something like general relativity to be true. And so far we have only made a bunch of failed attempts to falsify it. We only assume it to be true just like the assumptions made in about things inside the event horizon.

So your statement, while not intentionally so, is pointless.

I think the main difference people are missing here is that everything beyond the event horizon hasn't ever been observed. And it's theorized to be unobservable.

> Why are we negotiating with police for this anyway?

Because if you don't, you get election ads with scary looking footage and a voice-over that says something like:

"Mayor/Governor/whatever Smith's anti-police crusade is putting you and your family in danger. This November, send a message by voting out the pro-crime politicians."

You could argue that politicians should make a principled stand against this and do the right thing anyway, and you're right in a moral sense. But there's good odds that those guys will get replaced with people who are more willing to give the police what they want.

The problem is that most people don't consider how much of that footage has privacy implications.

They deal with people very single day, they need to be able to turn those cameras off in the case of, a nude minor, a detailing of psychiatric history of a minor, etc.

The problem is that giving them that ability also opens the door for them to abuse it. There is no easy/good answer here.

And I'm not making excuses for them, if they're abusing it go scorched earth on them please, their position in society means they require it.

But police MUST be able to turn their cameras off.

They're public servants. That footage should be public property.

Just like "this call may be monitored for blah blah", your actions as a cop should be monitored by the public.

Maybe we should have local citizens watching/reviewing body cam footage 24/7 to make sure cops are doing their job correctly. It's also job creation.

Edit: obviously there are some confidentiality issues, so only certain folks should have that clearance. But it feels like we need a better oversight system, whatever that may be.

thanks for the kind words!

as for the compliance suite, there is one: https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit/tree/main/samples/cu... which has been instrumental when i implemented biscuit-haskell. It might not cover anything, but it is updated everytime a new corner-case is identified.

could you elaborate wrt backward compatibility? The current model is opt-in, so you only pay for the features you use (that allows incremental updates, with biscuit-rust and biscuit-haskell leading the pack).

I see two todos in the spec indeed, i'll have a go at filling them out (they are implied by the rest of the spec and are implemented consistently across the various libraries, so it's more of a "writing things down" issue. I do agree that the spec is not airtight as it is. The compliance suite is there for that as it disambiguates a lot of things.

Other points are about library specifics. I know biscuit-rust and biscuit-haskell very well, biscuit-java less so. It is a bit lagging since the company working on it has had trouble allocating time on it.

In any case, if you have issues with specific things in libraries, don't hesitate to ping maintainers or open issues to see what we can do. biscuit-rust and its derivatives are actively maintained. biscuit-haskell is rather stable (but lacks support for snapshots). biscuit-java and biscuit-go are in need of some love, but nothing undoable
