If you read really carefully, they mention a gun found in the suspect's home. The article does not provide other evidence that would link the gun or the suspect with the victim. There might be such evidence, but it's not mentioned.
Cool product. I signed up for the beta.

I've been freelancing since about 2014~. Here's a user story for you to throw on to your pile.

I'm most interested in the proposals / invoicing side of your features. My proposals are ad hoc and hinge predominately on human interactions. I'd be cool with adding some pretty design in the mix. My invoicing system currently is a nodejs script I wrote a decade ago that takes in JSON and generates a LaTeX -> pdf. My dream has been to extend it so I could track my hours with a foot pedal, but I've never gotten around to it. Cobbler's children have no shoes in full effect.

If you've got any way to make it easier for me to track time this would be a win.

"easily collect payments" is something I find undesirable in all the ways I can imagine you implementing it. I am very reluctant to let a non bank hold/proxy my payments. Maybe you're doing something different. More up front details might be better if you're finessing around having to be party to the transfers or know people's account numbers. Maybe this isn't a problem for other people, I'm just one user story.

"run subscriptions" caught my eye. I don't know what it means for me. It has my mind exploring how I would even sell a subscription. I guess something like a retainer / support agreement? There's a spark of something here from you teasing a way for me to expand my business. It's interesting!

"share large deliverables" this feature isn't really for me. I tend to share my deliverables with stakeholders via git or steam.

Still sounds like there's some value for me. I hope I'll get to try it out.

A 2-3 hour reduction in flight time is appealing for approximately everyone who needs to fly.
For anyone who wasn't around back then:

I too had this experience last week, for suspicious account activity purposes; as someone running my own company it was a kind of frightening prospect. I assume that my account was targeted for failed login bombing due to being rather outspoken about a certain person's style of saluting.

The verification process failed once or twice for me, but I finally got it done, and my account was restored within 24 hours - and with no details about the actual "supicious activity" that triggered events.

Still, there was very little way to communicate with them about it; the r/LinkedIn community has a stickied post about it, with some links that do not require an active account.

It's worth noting that I'd also been flagged by Cloudflare for extra checks for a while; I also changed my browser's User Agent and it resolved that.

This looks super handy. Scaling to zero is such a game-changer for cutting costs, especially for stuff with unpredictable traffic. Love that it works with Keda and supports Istio right out of the box—makes it way easier to integrate into existing setups. Curious how it handles scaling back up for really bursty traffic - any noticeable delay, or is it pretty seamless? Definitely something I’ll keep an eye on!
The tech system also allows people to use their gear to make money where they otherwise wouldn’t. Look at Uber. People have a vehicle and free time. If they chose that driving is a better use of their time than watching Netflix, they can make money. Without Uber no one would simply call Alice or Bob for a paid ride.

What has surprised me is the lack of community centric responses. For example, to my knowledge, there is no communalist Uber. This is a system where the drivers are owners in the process. They pay the devs to maintain the system, but people could join and get a better share of the service funds. I take this to mean the Marxists out there just talk a big game.

Your question made me look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_poisonous_tree

That has some examples of how other countries handle things.
There's a reason that chain-of-evidence/provenance/fruit of the poison tree stuff is a big deal.

The defense attorney should be commended, and the cops need to be more careful.

It totally sucks that a murderer goes free, but the reason that we need to be careful about this stuff, is because the authorities would use the exact same methodology to grab shoplifters or dine-and-dashers, and it's highly likely that there would be false positives, there.

The thing about the police, that people don't seem to realize, is that they have the power to completely destroy your life on a whim. If a cop has a bad day, you could end up homeless and alone, in a few months; regardless of whether or not you actually get convicted. That's not even counting, if they draw their gun.

That's not hyperbole. I have actually seen it happen.
> For example: T.PopCount(value: T.AllBitsSet) is a safe and generic way to express the size of a binary integer as a constant.

Despite the name, 'Unsafe.SizeOf<T>()` is the safe and preferred way to do this - it is guaranteed to be a compiler constant (in the past you'd say "JIT constant" but you can no longer assume that with the advent of NativeAOT).

It's a bit unfortunate because much like with MemoryMarshal, not all methods are equally unsafe. Some are benign or safe like this one, same are Unsafe.As or, worse, Unsafe.AsPointer.

Show HN: Deidentification, Python tool for removing personal info using NLP
I created a Python library and CLI to automatically identify and remove personal information from text documents using Natural Language Processing. It has been used to de-identify internal employee surveys and patient satisfaction surveys.

What my project does:

* Identifies and replaces person names using spaCy's transformer model

* Converts gender-specific pronouns to neutral alternatives

* Handles possessives and hyphenated names

* Offers HTML output with color-coded replacements

___

Here's a quick example:

Input: John Smith's report was excellent. He clearly understands the topic.
Output: [PERSON]'s report was excellent. HE/SHE clearly understands the topic.

___

This was a fun project to work on - especially solving the challenge of maintaining correct character positions during replacements. The backwards processing approach was a neat solution to avoid recalculating positions after each replacement.

Thats not really correct.

It's actually the beginning of test time scaling. R1 has shown that a very simple reinforcement learning scheme can be used to teach the model how to think in a chain-of-though as an emergent property.

No addition pretraining data needed! Only more compute.
Do you think it's wise to ruin the reputation of your project right out of the gate with these fake sock puppet comments? We can all see what you're doing.
I think there's a difference from "parallel construction" and what could have happened in this case.

If they felt this guy was their suspect, there's nothing against using AI to determine that they should focus on that guy and look closer. They could instigate further, even (for example) run across someone who actually told them "yeah he said he shot a dude that day" and establish other facts and legally get a warrant.

> Centralized and diffused power are each vulnerable in their own ways.

Of course that's true. But one of them is worse.

> You'd generally expect people with more training to make better decisions than people with less training.

When it comes to politics, morality, and judgement, we cannot defer to an expert class. It's everyone's responsibility to be "trained" and make good decisions.

> There's no a priori reason to believe that each political tendency is equally attached to reality.

That's certainly true. For instance, post-modernism, the foundational religion of the far left, rejects truth, objectivity, and the scientific method: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3463968/

I 100% believe that one side is far less grounded in reality than the other. I still would prefer a diffused speech enforcement system to one that allowed a few "experts" to elevate my opinion and suppress the opinion of those I disagree with.

I think the path forward requires rejecting appeals to nature.

"Darwinism can be used to back up two mad moralities, but it cannot be used to back up a single sane one. The kinship and competition of all living creatures can be used as a reason for being insanely cruel or insanely sentimental; but not for a healthy love of animals. On the evolutionary basis you may be inhumane, or you may be absurdly humane; but you cannot be human. That you and a tiger are one may be a reason for being tender to a tiger. Or it may be a reason for being as cruel as the tiger. It is one way to train the tiger to imitate you, it is a shorter way to imitate the tiger. But in neither case does evolution tell you how to treat a tiger reasonably, that is, to admire his stripes while avoiding his claws.

If you want to treat a tiger reasonably, you must go back to the garden of Eden. For the obstinate reminder continued to recur: only the supernatural has taken a sane view of Nature. The essence of all pantheism, evolutionism, and modern cosmic religion is really in this proposition: that Nature is our mother. Unfortunately, if you regard Nature as a mother, you discover that she is a step-mother. The main point of Christianity was this: that Nature is not our mother: Nature is our sister. We can be proud of her beauty, since we have the same father; but she has no authority over us; we have to admire, but not to imitate. This gives to the typically Christian pleasure in this earth a strange touch of lightness that is almost frivolity. Nature was a solemn mother to the worshippers of Isis and Cybele. Nature was a solemn mother to Wordsworth or to Emerson. But Nature is not solemn to Francis of Assisi or to George Herbert. To St. Francis, Nature is a sister, and even a younger sister: a little, dancing sister, to be laughed at as well as loved." ~ Chesterton
I think they say “a” handgun without hinting that the ballistics match.
The search turned up what police say is the murder weapon in the suspect’s home. ... Police believed the shooter looked like Tolbert because he had the same “build, hair style, clothing and walking characteristics,”

So what I'm getting is... He was a young black man.

He also did not indicate that the facial recognition report returned several photos of people other than Tolbert. The affidavit simply says the fusion center matched Tolbert to “the unidentified male suspect, based on recovered surveillance video.”

Maybe it returned every single black male in the neighborhood and police just picked who they wanted; This is crucially relevant information. Similar problem to K-9 units, the walking search warrant who will alarm on anybody the police want them to.

I have to wonder whether the legal points would have been satisfied if they'd just taken the 'Parallel Construction' route and followed the man around until they noticed a turn signal was out, and then "recognized" him spontaneously from the video. Given that they're often permitted to do this, were they just too lazy to do it?

Oh. They said that. No details provided. Oh. Well, that's all right then.
So I was aware of the basic story here from late yesterday, but I only actually looked at the numbers today. Focusing on the dollar figure here is misleading.

Basically, if you look at only the stories, you get a dire picture -- like, "how will they make payroll????"

However, if you look at the actual share price in context, you see . . . a not very interesting event.

Look here:

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/pe-rat...

The graph definitely shows a share price adjustment, but it by no means erases the run-up Nvidia has enjoyed in the last 2 years. All that happened was the stock dropped back to it price of about the middle of last summer.

This may be old news to most of you, but: in markets we also track a figure called the P/E ratio, which is the ratio of the price of the company vs. its profits. Old-school manufacturing firms -- what used to be "blue chip" stocks -- would be in the 18-22 range here. Apple which absolutely PRINTS cash, is at a high-flying 38. NVidia's P/E is still 58.8.

The tl;dr here is that NVidia is still valued very, very highly. They're still what, the 3rd most valuable company in the world, with an enviable position in chipmaking. They still make money hand over fist. The weird part is that their firm is SO valuable that they could take a $600B haircut and it be almost a non-event.
Would you care to quote the parts that highlight the incompetence you induced from the comment?

All I see is the parent watching their students teacher conduct class in a paradigm that wasn't trained, for the first time. Nobody liked the isolation period, but to base judgement on the system on those criteria is childishly petty.

Be curious to see where their student stacks up now. I know all ages were hit with learning and social issues due to the isolation period, but the 5/4yo entering the edu now are back on whatever 'normal' is considered.
They had a bunch of CCTV and no name. The AI gave them a few names, they looked at its report which had photos from the guy's social media and were like 'yes that's him', and then got a warrant to go to his house and found the gun.

Perhaps there's some important principle of rights that's eluding me. But it seems like the actual murderer was seen on CCTV and found with the murder weapon, and claiming AI (used as a search tool) as an illegitimate cause for the warrant is a ploy by the defence. Doing their job, sure, but it doesn't seem like natural justice or any broader rights would be served by letting this guy off.

It would be different, the Prosecutor's Fallacy, if the AI->name link was used to justify guilt, but instead the standard of human facial recognition used for getting other warrants from CCTV can be used.

> if you recall it came with a lot of "We have no idea why you need this" from Pike and friends

The blog post and design document both authored by Rob Pike at the time[0] contains none of that sentiment. The closest approach comes from the blog post which states:

> Go generate does nothing that couldn’t be done with Make or some other build mechanism, but it comes with the go tool—no extra installation required—and fits nicely into the Go ecosystem.

This, taken alone, would seem to support “we have no idea why you need this,” until you read the hope from the design document:

> It is hoped, however, that it may replace many existing uses of make(1) in the Go repo at least.

These are not words of someone who doesn’t understand why users would need this.

Also, I am at a FAANG and my experience differs from the parent—`go tool` is sorely needed by my teams.

I suspect if you can get a face to face gig, that's a more reliable income source--although the upside is limited. At least in the US though, community college or some sort of continuing education isn't going to be a very good gig financially. Maybe as an evening class sort of thing because you like doing it.

I've done short YouTube video versions of conference presentations but never a full course. And I've never really promoted much. It doesn't really take a lot of gear (though it does take some). I'd probably start with doing some YouTube videos and branching out to Udemy or whatever if it clicks.
> Maybe it's a negative for you if you already have marketable skills, but a positive for others who want to get in.

I am not fully clear, to get in on what? The skill that is valued less and less? Or on being an LLM prompter? How much would a rational management be willing to pay a prompt writer (assuming they cannot automate that as well in the first place)?
Analogies are weak. We should discuss and express concern for everything that happens, and not give up part way through and cease highlighting/flagging anything at all, simply because of repetition, or the vague emotion of "you should have known already". The parent did know. Everybody did know. It's irrelevant to the specific topic.

I.e. the genre of negative response you've given is distracting, accomplishes nothing helpful, and, sadly, is very common.
Thank you! Indeed, UX and design needs some work. One of the avenues I wanted to explore in the future that may be related to making efficient use of space is showing multiple chats side-by-side to make differences between them pop out. By auto add clients, do you mean detecting the ones running locally?

Your reply is polemical and somewhat detached from the experience of working with Go.

From my experience, Go's dependency management is far better than anything else I've worked with (across languages including Java, Scala, Javascript/Typescript, Python).

Your criticism is perhaps relevant in relation to language features (though I would disagree with your position) but has no basis in relation to tooling and the standard library, both of which are best in class.
Coming up next and already happening: Alcohol is phased out.
Yeah I agree- I think the time spent verifying should vary based on the complexity and sensitivity of what you are looking at, but you never really get away from it.

I think my issue with LLMs is moreso aimed at people who wouldn’t have ever done the bare minimum verification anyway.

Interesting. TBH, it never even occurred to me that anybody would make, or even attempt to make, their living as a full-time Udemy instructor. I always assumed that creating Udemy courses was a combination of "labor of love", "side hustle / extra income", or marketing for someone's consulting service or product(s).

I know I've given some thought to creating a couple of Udemy courses myself, but haven't taken the plunge yet. And for me, it would mostly be "labor of love" and "marketing". Any extra income would be like "found money" to me.

EDIT:

@fiftyacorn said something interesting in another thread.

but it did improve my understanding of the subject, and also made it easier to get work and consultancy opportunities

That also reflects some of my thinking on this subject. I remember when I did my Qualification School as a Firefighter I/II instructor, our instructor said something that has stuck with me for 30 some odd years now. He said "you don't really understand something until you've taught it to somebody else." I wholeheartedly endorse that mindset, and that would be another reason I might make a Udemy course - as a forcing function to make me do a deep dive into something, and deepen my own understanding.
