I never saw promise in body cameras. The organization they were meant to make accountable is the same organization that gets to edit the video, gets to turn the cameras on and off, gets to refuse to release them, gets to release them at the most opportune time, gets to, and gets to "lose" them if there's no way to scrub their misbehavior.

If that weren't enough to know how useless they'd be, we'd had dash cams for t least 20 years at that point (since Rodney King? I can't remember honestly, but mid-1990s anyway). Nothing improved. No less abuse, no better outcomes. We had already run the experiment, but collectively decided that the results were wrong.

So, why did we bother to camera up all the cops? Because intelligence agencies wanted millions of cameras out there the feeds from which they could watch. They wanted mobile cameras, not fixed. And we're still 20 or 30 years too early for the robot revolution. It had to be meat drones.
Seems like a smart move by a govt agency — if you have a product that works well for you, and it's being discontinued, get some of your own inventory.

I do it all the time with running shoes — if I find a pair that fit & work well, get some spares!

Minimize the costs and overhead of switching(finding new product, getting it to work, etc.) Obviously, you'll eventually have to switch, but cutting the switches in half helps.

Even if you don't persuade each other, clarifying misunderstandings of one's views and identifying any common ground you do have can be worthwhile.
"Dumb" isn't the word I'd use; "incurious" is better. It's not that he's racist or antisemitic, I believe, but rather he doesn't have enough knowledge of history to recognize classic antisemitic tropes (or signs that someone is an outright Nazi) combined with some beliefs close enough to racist that he's liable to agree with antisemitic creeds without recognizing them as antisemitic tropes.
The concern is not about GPT-4. It's about what 10 years of research gets you to when, five years ago, it seemed completely apparent that even GPT-4 was 50 years off.
They're just straight up allowing anything except explicit nudity as long as you label it correctly. Twitch really is a softcore cam site now. What a fucking joke

Also the whole reason a booba streamer would choose Twitch over an 18+ site is because of the underage audience, Twitch doesn't offer any parental control. I just wonder when regulators will go after Amazon for this.
> don’t waste your time writing your own neural net and backprop.

I don't think you should be combining writing a neural network with doing backprop since I don't know anyone working with serious ML who is not using some sort of automatic differentiation library to handling the backprop part for them. I'm not entirely sure people even know what they're saying when they talk about backprop these days, and I suspect they're confusing it with gradient optimization.

But anyone seriously interested in ML absolutely should be building their own models from scratch and training them with gradient descent, ideally start with building out your own optimization routine rather than using a prepackaged one.

This is hugely important since the optimization part of the learning is really the heart of modern machine learning. If you really want to understand ML you should have a strong intuition about various methods of optimizing a given model. Additionally there are lots of details and tricks behind these models that are ignored if you're only calling an api around these models.

There's a world of difference between implementing an LSTM and calling one. You learn significantly more about what's actually happening by doing the former.
> All true claims are unfalsifiable by definition.

That’s not what ‘falsifiable’ means. ‘Pi is irrational’ is falsifiable, in that if you can show me integer p and q such that p/q = pi, you would have demonstrated that statement to be false.

The fact we can show that no such p and q exist is what renders the truth of that statement proven. ‘Falsifiability’ of a statement is the property that makes the statement amenable to being evaluated for truth.
I sure hope the dev who was made to implement it kept the paperwork that proves who made them do it.

Otherwise, they’ll find out how loyalty is rewarded nowadays.
If you're going through a tough time and need compassion, don't mistake that for thinking everybody in every situation always needs compassion
> My $0.02: don’t waste your time writing your own neural net and backprop.

I think it's worth doing a very simple implementation at least once to ensure you have the fundamentals memorized. It's not actually that complicated to implement a very simple one. Maybe a day or two -long project
> All true claims are unfalsifiable by definition.

This is misunderstanding what falsifiability entails. A claim is falsifiable if one can, in principle, come up with experiments to disprove it. Just because a true claim will never be disproven by those experiments does not make it unfalsifiable. It could have been disproven, had it been false, and that is enough.
> Deeper in the past people could kind of just spread out, and there wasn’t much archeological evidence for conflict between groups.

There isn't archeological evidence because the violence would be done with stones and sticks, which tend to not preserve very well, as opposed to later conflicts, fought with metal weapons and armor.

It's another compounding factor to the lack of physical evidence in addition to far lower population density (population bottleneck during the ice age and probably several millennia after)
Wait, why would LIGO be ale to detect anything about the inside of merging black holes? Mass, angular velocity, and charge are aggregate properties of the whole black hole and detectable, but information about matter that has entered the event horizon is still hidden from us even with gravitational wave detection.

If LIGO is able to retrieve information from the insides of black holes that should be earth-shattering news, no?
Systemd is fine. I've used it for years, never once had an issue. And the "Unix philosophy" is completely overrated, it provides no value. So I don't care in the least if it's a gigantic ball of code.

If this is your idea of an argument as to why this move is bad, then you have no leg to stand on.

Fair points. I do find the scope of C macros to be far narrower than overloading, but you are right.
Inevitably true on some level. Although I think card games and FGC share a deeper similarity on the number of discrete steps that one player will plan to execute ahead of time as a sequence.

I’ve long imagined a fighting game where rather than combos, the receiving player has an array of defensive options that vary from trying to mitigate the damage, roll out, or seize the initiative back after each hit more like a kind fu cinema fight. Make the whole damn thing a constant mind gamr

> But for 99% of the player base you’re going to be best off learning a few bread and butter ideas and then executing on them without much variation

Yes, this is why it's not at all interesting to talk about things that apply to 99% of the playerbase. Because mindlessly spamming one thing really, really well is an effective strategy against the vast majority of the playerbase in any game.

If this is the level that you think about games at then yes, all games are very similar. The nuances in shape and feel of a game's meta are what make it different and interesting, but those only start coming into play at a pretty high level of competence relative to the rest of the playerbase. At least top 20%, probably more like top 5-10% or higher.
So all of this obviously biased and incorrect speculation on your part is based on.... not being an expert in the field... and not having read the actual article? Thanks man, very insightful.
I should explain how I know this. My dad was an officer in United Auto Workers Local 276 (Arlington, TX General Motors assembly plant) in the 1990's, when GM killed off the Caprice and Impala that were assembled in Arlington, TX.
Vitrification(solidification) and store safely underground somewhere with smaller risks of earthquakes. Ideally you would want the fuel to be reprocessed(like France did it) or to be used by a breeding reactor, this way the waste will be more dangerous only for about 300 years(it'll still be radioactive after but much less compared to waste that wasn't reprocessed or used by a breeding reactor.
Why it's not done? It costs more money and most countries decided for now it's ok without these steps and breeding reactors kinda exist but are too few and not very well studied to build more

> “In the models we’re using, even drinking three to four beers after work several days a week can induce [bad stuff for sperm],” Golding said. “You may not feel inebriated, but your body is going through chemical changes.”

Vs. the CDC's current upper limit for "moderate" male drinking is 2 drinks/day, and they're very quick to specify that "a" beer is at most 12 oz. of 5% ABV (or 8 oz. of 7% ABV, or ...). One 16 oz. pint of 7.5% is two drinks.

Acquiring another citizenship before renouncing is a given, since you can't legally be stateless. How else would it work?

In any case, I've never renounced a citizenship, but I can imagine countries making it hard. Is the process itself difficult, are there requirements other than the international law one of not being stateless?

Up-to-date screenshots usually make things faster if I’m new to the product (which is usually why I’m looking at the documentation). But I think it’s 100% difficult to keep updated.

Gmail also spies on everything you do, whereas desktop clients like Thunderbird do not.
Is that an assumption, or based on any particular data set or even just a few data points you've anecdotally read about?

The article doesn't mention this. It finds some cases where footage is (allegedly) unavailable, but does not look into how often footage is unavailable when nobody cares about it. If you think the cops are corrupt and delete footage of their own wrongdoing, that would need some backing up to be believable for me. Maybe in low-income/low-justice countries that's an assumption one can make, but not where I live at least.
Good points. I keep Auth backups in my pw manager for convenience also, just because I don't know of a better way other than printing the qr code and stuffing in my desk.

I'm not worried about a general cloud beach as much as I am a personal attack if someone gets hold of my phone and manages to unlock it. Then they have 2 of the 3 keys: the cloud drive, and the Auth app. All they need to do is hack the pw manager, which if they have the vault file from the cloud drive, they can brute force until the cows come home.

Which is obviously bullshit made up by the PR agency they hired, designed to muddy the waters. For example, researchers dumped the Train's firmware (in presence of third party witnesses) before and after sending it to the Newag's service, and found that the a backdoor code was recompiled and updated there.
This kind of information is why I was asking :)
Not found one yet. The linked article contains a very small amount of detail, such as the lat-long coordinate values they found within the dissassembled code, etc., but not much else unfortunately.

Generally speaking - when you make an HTTP request - you are likely returning:

XML
<root>
<users>
<user>
<id>1</id>
<name>foo</name>
</user>
</users>
</root>

[or]

JSON
{
"users": [{
"id": 1,
"name": "foo"
}]
}

[or]

HTML:
<div class="users">
<div class"user">
<span class="user-id">1</span>
<span class="user-name">foo</span>
<button class="btn btn-small">edit</button>
</div>
</div>

[When using HTMX, you would add some additional tags. You are still just returning HTML]

<div class="users">
<div class"user" hx-target="this" hx-swap="outerHTML">
<span class="user-id">1</span>
<span class="user-name">foo</span>
<button hx-get="/user/1/edit" class="btn btn-small">edit</button>

Right. I think almost everybody wants some version of "fairness", but for many fairness is actually defined by a remarkably strict hierarchy. It's not that they want McDonald's workers to suffer, exactly, but they want to be able to see, even at a glance, that they are doing better than the McD's workers (and of course they go to McD's and enjoy that convenience) And the same people will say, without a hint of irony, that people working low-wage jobs shouldn't have kids they can't afford. As in, not only should people doing essential jobs be restricted from enjoying life, they should also die off without reproducing.
Let's put this in perspective.

Something like that might happen once or twice every few decades. In the country.

Meanwhile, the abuses the police are perpetrating, in many cities, are happening on a monthly basis (or more often).

Even if we stipulate that we need someone capable of dealing with the looter horde, we don't need that capability to be in the same hands as the people who are handing out traffic tickets every day.

The weird thing about this is that according to the theory... nothing ever enters the black hole. Everything freezes at the event horizon because time slows down and eventually gets frozen at the horizon. This is what happens relative to the outside observer.

The person entering the black hole does not perceive time freezing. How could he? Relative to himself he will enter the black hole but for him time outside of the black hole will accelerate at infinite speed well past the heat death of the universe forever in an instant. Then once the universe ends if there is an end, he will cross the threshold and move through the event horizon.
They were sounding good until they compared it to the "not real communism" thing. What people call "communist" countries were, by definition, not communist. They themselves never claimed to have achieved communism.

The reason it wasn't communism, or even socialism at all, was the fact that *the workers did not own the means of production*. Whether or not you like the idea of communism or not, it's dishonest to call the totalitarian states of the 20th century "communist". They were authoritarian state-capitalists.

This leads me to believe that the author of this article maybe actually didn't understand agile as much as they thought they did.
The real question is: is that the type of investment and investors you want in the EU?

This isn't just about investors, it's also about getting access to systems that people with employment contracts have, that gig workers don't have.

Why should they be treated as second-class citizens?

So not only do companies save on employment expenses, and offload them to the gig workers (who are underpaid generally), but they also have limited access to the market for things like credit.

Poor investors, right?

I can see that in urban environments and in the country cathedral and university towns also could provide information outlets. I know too little about German history to pretend to informed commentary :) but my sense of it is that the emergence of the German nation was a project that had multiple dimensions of support in society, including the nobility and the clergy. It also happened post Napoleon (occupation in parts) and that definitely may have helped gel latent ethnic affinity between the various German principalities.

But I return back to my earlier comment about songs and proles. An expert in 17th century folk songs of European people can shed light on what preoccupied the minds of the lower classes. I sincerely doubt it was ethnic fervor.
