Why are we negotiating with police for this anyway?

And if the police union is threatening to strike, then who cares. Those cops are not the ones we want anyway. Rehire.
In the vast majority of cases, gig workers are exploited. They have no protections, and don't get the same rights as employees do (no health insurance, no vacation time, etc). This is bad all around and should not be permitted if you want better working conditions. Too many people working the 'gig' economy are working full-time hours with no added benefits.

We're just going backwards with the 'gig' economy by allowing bigco to exploit people in this manner.
I remember these being ubiquitous especially in movies.

Do we know why Ford stopped making what seemed to be a universally loved vehicle that was in high demand?
And call it "Electron"?
Not sure if it's what's used in the Azure Document Intelligence service, but my experience with it is pretty good.

The one somewhat unique offering in Azure is the Document Layout model which gives you back the OCR with titles, headers, paragraphs, and tables all labeled.

This is really, really good for RAG since it's often useful to stuff the nearest header into the chunk of text when generating an embedding (much, much better results this way).

Ledger Pwn Message by Hacker
since ledger purged those versions from git, i took those directly from the npm packages, i put them in a new git repo and looked for the changes.
If I'm reading about something for the first time, screenshots are often helpful (and reassuring). On the other hand, if it's a fairly routine operational procedure that the reader should already be familiar with I find them troublesome.
Really channeling that inner kid.
The only reason things like Ledger exist is because regular smart cards (e.g. Yubikey) don't yet support the signature schemes used on blockchains.
Some people have principles.
In case you are interested, I wrote a piece in defense of understanding in LLMs[1]. The section under the heading "Why think LLMs have understanding at all" is the most relevant.

I'm actually "afraid" we could largely get away with tearing down the house. In the process of compensating catastrophic (regional) failure of basic life systems, we might double down on exploitation, e.g. falling back on fossils, expanding land use, ... Humans will take what they desire.

For instance lots of people in Germany started relying on (trash) wood for heating because of high gas prices (I smell it right now). It's a banality (many could have gotten by otherwise) and it didn't take much to cause it.

Surely we can't fuck up so bad, that artificially-clonable GMO crops won't grow anymore even without insects for instance. And water? Exploit rivers, build giant canals and water desalination, power it with fossils, if need be. Pathogens? Modern medicine saves the day.

Of course that might only delay the final crash because these technologies can die as well, but my guess is sufficient people may survive on a largely dead planet regardless, kept alive by hyperexploitation albeit at reduced population and living standards... We're tough bastards after all and can regress to unenlightenment if need be.

It's difficult to tell without knowing exactly what is crucially necessary for base necessities. Maybe we'll kill off something really, really important and a region dies, but that happening everywhere is difficult to imagine.

It's gonna be a mess...
> The question to start with is whether the argument is worth having.

The answer is almost always no. Not like 9 out 10 times, but 9,999 out of 10,000 times. Arguments don't persuade people, they're just a team sport to begin with, continuing with your analogy.
The American empire is a long way off collapse. People also underestimate collapse-inducing factors in countries with unfree political systems; we can't really see how China is doing internally.

The sense that fragmented factions actively want to choose collapse in order to accelerate their own power grab within the collapse is similar in the US to Britain, though. Not as similar to Austria-Hungary and its fragmentary nationalists. Will it have a Gavrilo Princep or a Tetsuya Yamagami? Hard to predict.
As with any super-hyped technology, people want to use the latest and greatest to solve it, even when traditional methods are cheaper, easier, more reliable and more accurate. See also: crypto.
Seems like a good idea from QC perspective. Large departments will need to hire additional staff to do the QC checks, but that's not a major hurdle.
That’s not a long outage.
If someone decided to paint it, the clean, prep and paint could take that long. And now you have a dead train.
Maybe it was a bit simpler to pull in the Rust crates and add bindings. I've read that modifying and extending Deno is relatively easy to do in this way?
The manufacture's current position is someone hacked their systems and changed the code so that it would make them a lot of money, they totally didn't do that.

I think a jury would be very sympathetic to this argument.
The way it's supposed to work is you realize that people are the economy. That means we, people, made up the rules, we can change them, and we should change them for our own betterment. If shareholders end up with a few less cents per share as a result, so be it. Growth for the sake of growth shouldn't be the goal: improving peoples' lives should be. That's the lesson we ought to be taking from the way things have gone over the past 50 years.
To my knowledge this is managed by the body cam vendors with the kinds of protections/assurances you would expect for something that will need to pass evidentiary chain of custody, etc for something to withstand scrutiny in court:

https://my.axon.com/s/article/Uploading-and-charging-with-th...

Almost kind of funny it uses the Axon-provided cloud at evidence.com. Not kidding.

What this boils down to: if the camera footage has been altered or is unavailable some shady cop/department went out of their way to do so. The workflow is extremely simple: hit the record button when you interact with the public, dock the camera (needs to charge anyway) at the end of your shift. There should be no wiggle room for excuses.

The vendors have packaged all of this up decently and something like "Oops we deleted that" should never be acceptable. Even the pre-record activation rolling buffer should eliminate nearly any "We missed that because I didn't have time to activate record" scenarios other than maybe "someone ran up on me out of nowhere and started shooting/attacking me".

Oh you "forgot" to press a button when you pulled someone over? You shouldn't be a cop, plain and simple.
Cooler heads prevail though. Don’t dismiss the impact a heated discussion can have on you days/weeks/months/years later.
You also realize that anything that is true is be definition unfalsifiable? That means even assertions made outside of the black hole that are true are not falsifiable.

Also I'm sure you already know that we can't prove anything to be true either in science and therefore reality, so basically the universe outside of the black hole is full of falsified statements and unprovable statements... and we just assert that some of those unprovable statements are true. For example: general relativity.

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

So basically what you said applies to things everywhere not just in black holes. Likely you meant that everything inside the black hole is just not observable. Sorry for being pedantic.
Some people seem to think that systemd is the only alternative to the sysv init mess. This is a false dichotomy.

Sv, smf, s6, openrc, runit, dinit, epoch, BSD, ...
I'm sure they are, but it's much less noticeable than the handheld ports of things used to be. Having played many hours of Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2 and original Xbox, the PSP versions of Battlefront (II, Renegade Squadron, Elite Squadron) had some obvious compromises but were at least very similar to play. Then I tried the DS version of Renegade Squadron and the gameplay was almost unrecognizable from the others, which still disappoints me to this day.

Granted, I'm playing Skyrim and Portal 2 on Switch Lite so I can't see them on the TV and compare them at the same size as the PS3 versions of those games, but Skyrim at least seems to suffer much less lag and visual glitching than the PS3 version. I don't have any newer console to compare with so I'm happy!
You would have to compile the binary on the target platform. Eventually I will support cross compiling but even then there will still be one binary for every platform/architecture pair.
So?

Big numbers are meaningless without context.

44k opposed to what? What would it be if there were no humans?

What can we do to limit our impact but still live a modern life?

Like why do people think these numbers matter to normal people?

Just antihumanism or something else?
Sorry to be blunt, but your longwinded "speculation" in fields you don't understand is not a useful contribution to the discussion.
Injecting Artificial Intelligence into Medicine
So you want all elected officials to wear a camera 24x7? Because hey, they could be doing business while taking a shit? Better keep it on at night as well, because we want to see the face of whoever they're screwing.

Here's a better idea – elect people who can be trusted.
Sounds cool! Anything you could share yet?
360 camera on shoulder and synced to a 3rd party the departments have limited access too. They need to file paperwork to get footage they need.

3rd party can deal with warrents directly and office should be punished for turning off cameras.

This 3rd party however may not be connected or funded in anyway to cause a conflict of interest. No funding by the police!
Yeah, those Maps ads... that's just going to be a feature technology historians will cringe over in 50 years
What about coal mining in Australia? Should they ban it too? It produces 80% of their electricity, and a low death rate from direct mining incidents, but a 26% increase in mortality compared to the general population most likely due to respiratory and stress-related issues.[0,1]

CWP (Coal Miner's Pneumoconiosis) is the long-term risk vs. the mining accidents, and it involves silicosis too. The US and Australia have lowered these statistics vs. China which is increasing.

Many people mix household cleaners that each contain ammonia and chlorine and create poisonous gases, but usually the concentration of the cleaners is sufficiently low enough to be more of a long-term health hazard, however, industrial cleaners can cause death, though rare, as in this case:

https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/tragic-accide...

The solution is to boost safety practices, heavily fine the offenders, and educate the workers, not ban a product that in its final form is not just a "fashion finish", but a safe, practical, easy-to-clean surface with good durability and dimensionally stable over time.

They aren't eliminating gig work, they are just ensuring that if you want to categorize your workers as contractors, you have to treat them as contractors. Companies are taking advantage of loose definitions to blur the lines, they want the benefits of employees without the liabilities. This forces them to decide, do you actually want contractors, or do you want employees? The workers that stay as contractors will have more freedom and ability to set their own work boundaries. The workers that get converted to employees will get better benefits and stability. On average, workers will be better off. There will be companies going either route so gig workers should be able to find a company that matches their needs.

Doubt it has anything to do with women. More like poor long term risk assessment leading to immediate tasks and short term goals being prioritized over more abstract longer term goals.

You've probably crossed a road at a non-ideal location right? Because you had somewhere to be and you figured you were paying attention - the risk was managed. Same dynamic basically.
If you don't believe Management Confidential down at the department is worthy of the public trust, you have a bigger problem on your hands.

In my locale those folks are elected or appointed, so if you cant trust them, yea, you've got a problem.
Economies of scale can happen just fine without technological breakthroughs.
On the one hand, as a matter of principle -- absolutely.

On the other hand, bodycams run out of batteries or the electronics glitch or automated video downloads get skipped, in ways that simply don't happen with paper notebooks or data stored in central databases.

To assume that it's always a dereliction of duty is not going to be reasonable in practice.

Like, for whatever reason my cell phone doesn't automatically sync my photos to the cloud even though it's supposed to. And instead of updating my apps overnight, it starts to update them when I unplug my phone each morning. And automatic OS updates never work, I have to do them manually. Technology's great but technology sucks, too. And I have to assume bodycam software is less reliable than iOS/Android.
That doesn't require a federated social network though, that's what https://www.mavs.com/ can be.

It's currently a major area of research and an unsolved problem to find out what individual weights do – and the most recent research seems to suggest that there is not a one-to-one relationship between ideas and weights. In fact, one line of research is showing that each weight encodes multiple ideas with what is called polysemanticity [1], while another line of research seems to show that individual factoids are spread across thousands of weights and possibly even multiple layers [2].

Why is there absolutely nothing cached by default? How many times does the topology of the Atlantic Ocean change every day that an outline cannot even be shown? I get not caching high zoom levels, but there is literally zero optimisation here done.
> The only reason App Review will ever mention testing against specific devices is when there’s been a screen resolution or form factor change, but simulators work fine for that. I’ve worked with multiple apps with many different reviewers across several such changes and they do not care if you have physical hardware to test against.

This is not my experience. We've had reviewers say "app doesn't work well on new (phone model)". When asking for clarification we were told we had to test on a real device. At that point you can either give in, or try getting more info out of the reviewer which is like pulling teeth and will take weeks.

> Xcode, etc are heavily reliant on macOS and would not be easy to port. Xcode itself is Swift+ObjC+AppKit and the simulators just run the iOS userland atop the shared bits between iOS and macOS. This means that a port entails porting all of AppKit or starting a whole new “Xcode for other platforms” codebase to run parallel with original Xcode as well as writing a full on iOS virtualizer for other platforms. Possible, but expensive with questionable ROI.

Okay, and? The entire point is that they're a greedy bigcorp and want money, so yeah. Of course they'll make everyone else bend over backwards so they can rake in the cash.

> Apple definitely supports FIDO keys because I’ve been using YubiKeys to log into my developer account for a while now.

Where is this documented? I don't see anything about this on https://developer.apple.com/support/authentication/

Can you do this without ever associating an iDevice? I can't check because I've sadly already done so and would need to spend $$$ again on a new account, which I don't feel like doing just to prove a point. Please keep in mind this is about an "Account Holder" Apple Developer Account.
Elon Musk Is Launching a New University in Texas
Its claim to be "the oldest" appears to be fairly narrowly delineated as "promontory hillfort", whereas Jericho was a full blown town and Tell Qaramel just a single tower. It's also in a completely different world region, of course.

The rest seems to be the author hinting at the classic pop science trope of "if it hasn't been discovered before it must be radically challenging an incorrect old paradigm". Whereas "semipermanent structures in defensible positions in the middle of hunting grounds" sounds like exactly what someone that believes in a broader theory of simple hunter-gatherer tribes gradually progressing into complex agricultural societies would expect. (Likewise Gokpeli Tepe is problematic for anyone committed to the idea of "civilisation" having a particular start date, but hunter gatherers establishing some sort of [semi]permanent settlements near plains full of nutritious wild grasses and probably drawing on the labour resources of the surrounding hunting tribes to help with monument-building is entirely consistent with the general notion of hunter gatherers gradually evolving into more complex urban societies)

Hunter gatherers needing defensive walls long before their neighbours acquired agriculture-supported armies is pretty bad for the "violent competition didn't emerge until agriculture and large scale organisation" theorists, but I'm not sure this has ever really been a mainstream academic view.

Of course it is not acceptable. But I imagine every company out there that has skin in this game would boldly taunt in reply: “whachha gunna do ‘bout it?”

Sure, we could boycott. How often is that ever effective in this modern age? Is it ever, because I don’t think I ever heard of such outside of history books?

Our lawmakers are corrupt and wholly in the pocket of those who would stand to benefit from perpetuating this shameful status quo. From my perspective, there ain’t damn thing we can do to fix it (or a thousand other problems), unless we are ready to start holding them accountable. I think that will take putting some of their heads on pikes.
LMAO they are free to go to academia now if they don't like Google salaries... ahahaha who am I kidding.
This is not entirely true.

We can imagine a civilization made up for very sturdy physicists, so tidal forces inside the black hole don't rip them apart immediately. This civilization can enter the event horizon of the black hole, and observe what happens inside, make measurements, new theories, write papers, upload them to pre-prints, go to conferences, etc.

It is true that they cannot communicate with the outside world, but that may not bother them if there's enough of them that they can share their new discoveries with each other and have a society and satisfy their intellectual curiosity.

According to classical general relativity there are no stable orbits inside the black hole, so eventually this society will get arbitrary close to the singularity (or, to extremely large curvatures), so eventually they all would die, irrespective of how sturdy they are.

But this is also true outside the black hole, per our current best theories, we will all either get crushed in a big crunch (reverse of the big bang), or heat death as the Universe expands indefinitely. (Or, sooner, when the sun explodes, or sooner if an asteroid hits us, or global warming, or we nuke each other..)
I have no idea what I'm talking about, but quantum physics are bizarre enough that I'm not sure you can play it in reverse.

The smallest perturbations in a chaotic system yield completely different results. The slit experinment for instance suggests that measurement changes the system.

Holy hell, this guy gets it! I regret that I have but one upvote to give you, @mildchalupa.

It's really frustrating to wade through this sea of comments that includes a guy who is saying unironically that living in a tent while starting a business is a viable option for most people, and a whole bunch of other people who just don't seem to get the idea that the economy is literally people, and if it doesn't work for people, it doesn't work, period.
>Debates on twitter and other forms of social media are almost guaranteed to never rise above the lower dotted line, as these platform don't allow for more nuanced debate. Everything above the higher dotted line is our gold standard: two intelligent, charitable, and versed debaters can successfully maintain a debate at this level until some form of resolution.

I would pay money to filter out these garbage debates. A great job for AI would be to toggle them off, so we only see the 'good' ones.
Part of me feels like this is partially the government shirking it's duty to protect workers. Imagine if in the early days of aviation the government looked at the dangers of flight and the difficulty of wrangling pilots, and just threw it's hands up and banned all aircraft.
This is not true. The criminals police deal with are not smart. There are very, very smart criminals, and they tend to gravitate towards specialties that will not get them caught, like Congress.

I think some of them need to hear that.
I remember a situation during my stint at Google, VP involved in a not-really-competing internal system kept threatening us about comparing our system against theirs so we don't make them look bad. Even though there was an explicit internal benchmark (made by them!) that was made for such comparisons!

Our team was flabbergasted that this could even be an issue.
