There is intrinsic value in the truth, I think.

If OP posts a photoshopped picture, that tells us something about OP. If the picture is real, that tells us something about an event of this war.

When we know the truth, we can better decide who to listen to. When we can better decide who to listen to, we have more opportunity to sway the opinions of those around us towards the truth.

I suppose many of the perpetrators who were there are still alive today. I wonder if they sleep soundly in bed at night.

Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it’s happening and that’s one of the first problems to solve.

When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee’s desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don’t know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it’s true that the companies that don’t keep up often fall hopelessly behind.

The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

Ignoring the court itself, I’d think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

But if the system has no standards…

I don’t automatically have a negative opinion about this, I would need more information before that. Did the terms of service allow for this?

It’s a fascinating case study on crowdsourcing data that is useful to this navigation technology, and reminds me of the first captchas that helped train OCR engines.

You’re right. I got in the habit of doing that because I’m endlessly tweaking my .env files and I don’t think those reload unless you shut down first

Yeah the 5 months thing… That’s the difference between having a $400/hour lawyer and no lawyer. The first guy could get you out by 6:00 p.m. on bail. If you have no lawyer, your appointment to be assigned lawyer is scheduled for next month.

Never run:

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Right before the end of your day. Ask me how I know 😂

Damn I better check my contracts and see if they have any war or terrorism clauses 😅

Internet subscription canceled! See you on the other side brother

Been with mullvad for a very long time but this scares the crap out of me and I might have to bail soon.

Don’t forget Epic Sax Man

I can see why it’s a spicy headline but we should appreciate a human override capability.

Hopefully waymo is forced into transparency about this. Transparency 100% fully clear on when the tech runs into a variety of situations including humans intervening.

That should be a mandatory for them to have the licensing necessary to operate autonomous vehicles anywhere in public spaces.

After all, they are learning on the public’s dime and at the public’s risk. We have to know if it’s truly better and what kind of new risks are created that weren’t otherwise anticipated.

Didn’t think about the possibility of a kinetic energy unit, thanks for the insight

The wind at 32,000 ft is 200 times stronger than the wind at the surface?

Ummm… 10 knots * 200 = 2000 knots. I don’t think so lol.

A lot of strange numbers in this article that bring its accuracy into question.

No mention of the weight of a 1 and 1/2 km wire that is also suitable to anchor this thing in place. Or are they going to float batteries and bring them down to discharge?

Hard to tell if you’re trolling or trying to add value to the conversation and just missing it.

A hammer doesn’t know what it is building but it is still useful.

This is the nature of tools: for some they improve output, for some they don’t.

I’m lazy as fuck. I want to solve problems in the easiest way humanly possible. With the least amount of effort output.

What about you? Do you take the hard way?

People around me use AI all the time to get answers to generalized topics. More and more they use it like a search engine / information augmentation system.

They are not technical people. They mostly know that the information needs to be double checked and might be wrong. But usually take it at face value if the importance is low.

Honestly this is about what they did before. They would search Google, click on the first blog, skim it, and repeat until getting some answer they believe.

I too use AI regularly for brainstorming, quickly summarizing massive text messages, and reformatting text from a jumbled mess into something more cohesive, etc.

I don’t love it or hate it. In some cases it saves a lot of time and is useful tool. In other cases it outputs trash that we cannot use for any serious case.

Just like a hammer or a shovel, it’s a tool. Can be used the right way and it can be used the wrong way.
