The fact that anyone with any power (and they do have the power to influence politicians, which is more than what your average citizen has) is even suggesting this should absolutely be alarming. It is “only a suggestion” now, and then next time when the politicians vote on it it might be late.
While true, you should also mention that there’s way more ICEs and (more importantly) the way they burn is much, much safer.
You can’t really extinguish lithium fire, it burns way hotter, and it’s more toxic.
Comparatively an ICE car burning is not a big deal; they almost never make other stuff around them burn, and also when they catch on fire it’s pretty much exclusively only when people are still near/in them so there’s A chance to notice it and do something about it.
Competition only works when the stuff you’re protecting can have competition. If it’s an algorithm that’s objectively better with no alternative, it doesn’t really work.
It’s also like… When you can have anything in the world it stops having meaning. So you can realistically only crave power, and by pushing others towards shittier and more miserable lives you elevate yours - it’s the only way.
Doesn’t fucking matter. It’s only a matter of time until they push for full deanonymization of everyone on the internet.
With all these internationally spanning laws lately maybe it’s time we also had some kind of framework for dispute resolution - mostly something like nations staying behind their citizens in stuff like this, telling the other coubtry tp pound sand / do it themselves.
The thing is though you could have both, at least to a degree. You could have much more transparent policing, the cameras could do processing purely locally and based on publicly accessible lists with listed reasons for why the given plates are captured, you could make it so that the only ones who do get the data are actually thr police and not thr company selling the cameras, etc.
But that’s not in the interest of Flock, or even really the powers that be. The surveillance machine needs feeding, doesn’t matter for what cost.
You know you can just use git directly, right? That’s kinda its whole point, that it’s a self-contained topl for source distribution.
You can laterally just git pull from any machine through SSH…
Iran needs a government that doesn’t suck up to the US but also treats it’s citizens well.
Indeed, and that’s not something you can force upon them from the outaide. At some point a country’s people are (at least to a degree) responsible for how their coubtry is ran and by whom.
Outside onfluence almost never works and always exploits the country in some way.
Thw issue you’ll run into is effectiveness at that small scale, so you’ll be tempted to share data with other systems like that, and eventually you’ll end up creating a different flock.
Do they use them because they’re "just there* and convenient, or do they actially like them?
And TBF I was largely referring to how poorly they’re written and performant, which you often don’t need to care about (until you do).
I had to do some math when you said pandemic and THAT WAS 6 YEARS AGO?!
In a aociety where mental health is completely overlooked and treatments unavailable for most people and/or extremely expensive, it’s a very easy way to get at least some respite for many people.
And sure, it can harm some people too, but it’s understandable why it’s used like that.
The issue is people downoting him for stating a simple fact.
Like, I also use AI a bit, it can hepp productivity a lot too, and my opinion is still that overall if we had no ML at all the world woild be a better place than now, and that’s despite the many extremely good use cases for ML and even LLMs.
Github actions are famously extremely trash…
They’re being scammed in the sense that NVIDIA is selling a product for a usecase that can’t make them money despite NVIDIA advertising (or at least heavily implying) as such.
“Look at all these shovels, you’re gonna make so much money if you dig with our shovels, I’m sure you’re gonna find the treasure any minute!” knowing full well that there’s no treasure, or at least definitely not enough for everyone.
…how is that an improvement over physical SIM then ;D
Despite how similar the interface is the protocol is completely different. NVMe is basically just PCIe, so adaptating it so that it runs “under” SATA would be difficult if not almost impossible. And most definitely not worth the extra price.
I have a cookbook (not a recipe book - there’s a difference) from 50 years ago (with the latest edition being 2019) and it’s amazing. No need to go for modern hipster recipes that don’t teach you anything…
My point is that institutions like that simply should not exist. They are effectively lobbying groups (if it’s nonprofit / non-governmental organization) or propaganda machines (if established by the people in power).
Neither has any place in democracy.
We don’t need “purpose built” think tanks; we need people with actual experience, with jobs, etc. giving in their 10 cents of expertise when required.
And they should be required only when the governmening bodies are implementing things they have been actually voted in to do. We shouldn’t havr good-for-nothing “government employees” fearing to be out of job creating busywork for themselves that only perpetuates and creates layers upon layers of useless bureaucracy that nakes the average person’s lives worse.
