>you can narrow your focus down considerably to just the post-2000 era

This gets back to my original point. My claim is that most of the post-2000s (or a specific location) is not normal from historical perspective, but we’re treating it like it is. Just because it may be the totality of a person’s/generation’s experience doesn’t mean it defines a good measure of “normal” or even “ideal”. In many ways, housing prices of that era may have even been a lagging indicator of sub-ideal aspects of the economy.
Many compare it to furniture made out of solid wood (how everything was before IKEA). Those things are of much higher quality (they could easily be used over decades, sometimes over centuries); compared to them, IKEA stuff is cheap (in price and quality).

However, if you just look at IKEA stuff and compare how it evolves over multiple rounds of assembly and disassembly, there are products that are very hard to disassemble without breaking them and products that are fairly okay to disassemble and reassemble. As others have commented, it varies.
> There is a person responsible and can be creative as to how he creates the report. But if there is something wrong with the report, he would be responsible same as if he wrote the report himself.

What does "responsible" mean here? How good are we currently at holding police "responsible" for incorrect reports?

This seems like a moral hazard. I believe most police officers want to be good people, and since writing a truthful report by hand is easier than writing a lie (why bother making up a lie?) most reports are truthful.

But, if a LLM makes it easier to just fill in bullshit--and LLMs are very very good at filling in bullshit, if nothing else--then there is a moral hazard. Police will have a personal incentive to allow LLM fluff in their reports.
Yang, this is really well done. I work with Rust and robotics all day, and would have never imagine seeing all this in one file. It is a great learning tool. If you complete the MPC controller it can also be a great learning tool for training AI pilots.

In Audubon's time, the only way to accurately paint a bird in detail was to shoot it, examine it, then paint it. It's also why so many of his paintings are of birds in unnatural positions.

Even today, museums and universities sometimes pay for non-rare birds to be collected by shotgun. Collections are needed for certain types of comparative analysis when trying to sus out whether two birds are different species or just variety within a species.

Police have pretty much zero liability for just about anything they do. And if history is any guide that includes liability through lack of prosecution for blatantly illegal things as well.

That would be the goal. Get it right first time around.

> It takes money to make a robust solution, plus healthy profit, but that money is spread across every customer.

The requirements of supporting the more demanding customers typically are amortized across all customers. Requirements re: security, SLA (uptime, data durability, etc.), data governance for example. It is difficult to both implement and market products that break these dimensions into tiers. You can sometimes do it for the very niche, tail of your customers (air gap regions, for example), but in a lot of products, everyone is sharing in these costs even if they only care about a subset of the capabilities.

The cost savings of scale are offset by the costs of say, needing to support Fortune 100s that need 99.99% availability even if Bob's Wordpress Page doesn't care too much about 99% vs 99.99%. You can apply that analogy to every dimension.

A homegrown solution targets specifically what your company actually cares about. It makes sense that it may be cheaper.

But again. YOU are intelligent, you are informed, you can look and see that Datadog provides a bunch of capabilities you don't need and you're paying for things you don't get benefit from and make the trade-off of building your own. Just stop telling me about it.

Making an argument that there's something abnormal about market competition and that's why prices stay high is different -- I'd read that.

I do. My favourite is the one where a scraper hosted their version of Stackoverflow on Hetzner servers. For some reason they only copied the textual content but replaced all user profile pictures with random profiles pictures from elsewhere - mostly harmless ones.
I had the misfortune that mine was replaced by a pornographic one, which appeared as the first result in Google when someone searched my name.

Hetzner did nothing to help rectify the situation. Thanks for nothing Hetzner.
Even more stark, the raptor 3 supposedly costs <$500k to build, so you can get around 70 (almost two full starship stacks worth) for the price of refurbishing one of those engines.
> Scummy companies took the path filled with the darkest of patterns because they want to suck up as much data as they can to sell to 3rd parties.

I take exception to that. I have worked for many companies that are not in the least bit "scummy" and have popups. Even our government sites here in Norway have the popups [1]. All this points to is again that the regulation is bad.

And again, because of the lack of certification, it's not possible to claim that GitHub is compliant. All you can say is that a court has not found them non-compliant yet. That is not the same as being compliant.

I don't live in the US, but I can say that interactions with the police are unlikely to be positive for me. I'm sure that, as a general body, they have a positive societal impact, but any one interaction is unlikely to have a positive effect to the people they interact with.

Eg if my house gets burgled, they'll never find anything, but they have hassled me for laughing at something unrelated because they thought I was laughing at them.

Here in Silicon Valley there's often surprise at my reluctance to eat fruit grown from back yard trees. It's sort of assumed that fruit right off the tree is somehow organic and healthy.

"Have you checked to see if this area is sitting on EPA Superfund designated land, or down stream?" The response is usually a blank look.

So I ask them why is this area called Silicon Valley? Then I ask if they realize how incredibly toxic the solvents used in chip manufacturing are? And then I ask how much 1950s and 60s companies cared about environmental concerns? Most people connect the dots pretty quickly. "Holy shit." Is the usual response.

It really wouldn't surprise me if Fairchild, Intel and the rest just took barrels of used chemicals out back and dumped them into holes in the ground back when.

Google got hit by this a few years ago when they built an office building on top of toxic waste and now have to have 24/7 basement ventilation to make sure workers there don't get sick.

There are whole neighborhoods built on that same polluted land. I'll get my orange from Safeway, thanks.

Funny this popped up on hn. A friend of mine in Montana has been hunting crane lately. Said they’re dubbed “ribeye of the sky”. Can’t wait to try one!
If you are saving a down payment for a house you need to be spending far less than "32% of income" on your current rent. You need to move farther out, find a smaller/shittier place to live, be frugal with everything else, and/or increase your income. This has always been the case, unless you are earning well above average income.
The problem is that there are things which won't be in the camera-record which still need to be recorded ASAP, without the risk of being lost/tampered-with by a random hallucination algorithm... Heck, even a human assistant saying "Let me write that for you" would be a problem.

For example, there may be things the officer (claims) they quietly observed outside the scope of the camera. There needs to be a record of any of those which may be significant. ("Oh, that happened, but blame the LLM for the fact that it's not in the record.") It also extends to "I was justified doing X because Y" logic from the brain of the officer, even if generated after-the-fact.

Just imagine the LLM as Microsoft Clippy: "Hi! It looks like you're trying to retroactively justify an unreasonable search!"
> They seem to be more focused on workflows and pulling together context (also a very important problem in the space), we we've put more of a focus on root causing infra issues specifically.

So just to clarify, are you saying that Parity is focused on infrastructure issues, while something like Onegrep addresses the broader problem by providing context?

This imitates a human who does a mediocre job of folding shirts. This shirt will end up wrinkled.

I’d be much more interested to see either:

- a robot trained on experienced clothing retail sales associates (can fold a shirt like this in a single movement), or

- a non-human folding technique optimized for the robot arms (having multiple fingers and more arm+hand mobility is part of what makes the human single-move fold possible).

To what though? Datasets are not easy to create - why do you think they are almost all based on archives of stolen books and videos? Is Axon really going to spend millions to curate billions of words of English conversations free of racial bias for example? The same goes for voice recognition. Is the model for a woman with a thick regional accent ever going to be as good as a man speaking British English without significant investment?

The question is what're the traffic stats for HN. The Apple watch has 2GiB of ram and can do 5Tflops, which means TLs encryption is no big deal (though the number of integer operations per second it can do is more relevant, those numbers aren't given, but we can estimate in the 7 billion Instructions per second range, so it should be well equipped to host an unpopular dynamic site in RAM, but without knowing the traffic patterns for HN, we can't really say if that's enough computing to run the site.

Nice to see someone calling this out. For my part, I have never quit a job over compensation issues. In fact, a couple of times, I've quit positions in order to take positions at other companies that offered less compensation.

I quit jobs when, for one reason or another, they begin making me actively unhappy even when I'm off the clock, or (more usually) I don't feel that my skills are improving and expanding at my current job.
You think AI chatbots are bad with facts, you should see the cops!

Honestly I don't think this will be any worse than police filing hand-written reports rife with their own biases and material omissions and sometimes even outright, intentional lies.
| Not to mention, hunting is actually very difficult (contrary to a lot of belief).

This always bothered me. The attitude that you just walk up to some defenseless deer and shoot it and that's some unskilled cruel thing.

In reality it's hours or days in a row in a short amount of time a season is open sitting in miserable weather where hopefully the research you've done or the attempts to attract them might outweigh the fact that they can smell you from a mile away and are skittish at every sound in the world. Oh, and the practice and training you've had to do with whatever method you're using to hunt with.

Then there's the expense. Licenses, weapons, gear, time off work, you name it. I quit doing it simply because I don't have the time to invest in it as an adult.
“Most of the time” in my case, it has been bad. Because it wasn’t one big bill. It was dozens of bills for $200-500. Each submission could fail in unpredictable ways. “Lost” claims forms, database “errors”, “incomplete information”, etc. And trying to deal with this burden while being sick, was too much for me. I scraped back a few dollars, but had to give up and move forward with my life.
Already illegal yes but in a way that favors the insurance company. For example, if the insurance co claims your appeal needs a peer to peer (your dr talks to their Dr) they currently get to decide on when the talk happens. If your dr can't meet at the exact time slot they want, you lose by default. We could rewrite the law to make the patients actual doctor win by default rather than the insurance doctor who rejects literally thousands of claims per week and hasn't even read the patients history.

This is the gist of it. Telegram is mostly like an uncensored blog platform at this point. Probably the only platform to host official channels of Navalny, Zelenski, Dmitry Medvedev, Russian and Ukrainian milbloggers at the same time.

And for public channels, E2E is pointless - everyone can see it anyway.

Yeah, that is something to think about. Especially if you have western focused business. Problem there is their total control over the internet. That is a bit too much to stomach. So I would probably go with Russia instead. Especially now when they are quote done with the west. Though they are friendly with east so I can imagine criticizing China would not fly.

I see this take a lot but I am not sure its entirely true. If we were to blindly ask questions based on a models world knowledge, yes there will be false statements. When asking questions or summarizing data across a provided dataset, I have not seen this to be a problem. Now I think there could be an interesting question on how its summarizing, there may be inherent biases but I don't believe the original issue is in fact a problem.

But then it is obvious you are using encryption. A lot can be learned just from the timing of the message and noting it is encrypted. I always thought it best to send an encrypted message every hour of every day .. most messages would be just nonsense. The one eavesdropping could not only not read the message, but they would gain no knowledge about when the "real" messages are being sent.
I'm not implying there is no value. I'm drawing a distinction with high-PE industries, like tech, where the market value is highly biased to future (unrealized) potential. Previous generations, where hardware manufacturing was the dominant industry, had "value" more tightly coupled to realized value.

I feel qualified to comment on this as I've read and dissected thousands of police reports.

1) Most police reports are never read after they are written. Literally by nobody. Not the cop, not their superior, not the prosecutor, not the defense, not the court. Most criminal cases end in plea deals and the police reports will never be pulled or looked at. Most charges are filed by an on-duty low-level prosecutor who fields phone calls all day from officers who re-iterate the facts of the crime and ask for the statutes that have been violated.

2) Police have to testify at a trial, usually from memory. This often happens one, two, three years or more after they wrote the report. They are usually handed their old report outside the courtroom before they go in to refresh their memory. This is problematic as they will naturally conform their sworn testimony to whatever is written on the report.

3) Police reports right now are VERY badly written. They are impossibly short, impossibly vague and ridiculously low on detail. If you go back to some code you wrote last year and wonder what the hell it does because you didn't comment any of it, it's a bit like that.

4) Police reports are usually horseshit, for various reasons. They tell one side of a story. The suspect will have another view. The truth generally lies somewhere in the middle.

5) I think this might help, because the AI is naturally more neutral than an officer who's whole job is to apprehend criminals and their natural tendency is to make themselves look good and just and right and the suspect look like a really horrible human being.

6) The problem is that the AI might mishear, misunderstand or just plain hallucinate. At first the officers will re-read it, but after a few of these they will get lazy and just click OK on every report. I've been using AI to generate Alt Text for images and I've been getting lazy at checking it. Just yesterday it told me this cup[0] said "COFFEE" on it, which is a good guess, but it actually says OCEAN FEELS. It guessed, and it was 100% sure it was right.

Just my two centimes.

It’s not just the U.S..

Here in Germany, there are several multi million Euro fraud cases that have been going on for decades. They get picked up by the media every couple of years, with hidden camera footage and everything. But the authorities do nothing.

I suspect they are all overworked - police, judges, prosecutors. They are all in reactive mode, trying to reduce the pile of paper on their desk. And, presumably, plan their next holiday.

The days where a cop, judge or prosecutor identified as the function they render to society are over, I suspect. It’s work life balance all the way.

And they may have a point. The woman who solved the Golden State Killer case, didn’t she die quite young because of the stress? If you look into the abyss for too long, the abyss looks back into you.

To do good work means risking divorce, lowering your per hour wage, becoming a target for the bad guys, watching your lazier colleagues pass you by, and putting your health in jeopardy. This was seen as heroic in the 80s. Today it is seen as dumb, naïve and futile.
