That’s a valid concern.

It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they’ve done this, what’s the likelihood that they’ll do something even worse later?

I’m not sure.

Perhaps getting computer vision that’s reliably better than humans costs a lot of money that a project like OpenStreetMap doesn’t have?

I only read the text, didn’t watch the video, but from the text it didn’t sound like that’s what they were describing. It sounded like they will present images to people and ask them to confirm whether or not there’s an object there?

We introduce “MapTCHA”, a CAPTCHA that leverages the uncertainty of interpreting imagery with computer vision, and provides human verification for AI predictions: users are asked to identify images containing correctly interpreted objects, e.g. building outlines.

Edit: also, here’s the github they seem to be working from - https://github.com/ciupava/maptcha_dev

Edit 2: I hope they succeed, because it would be great to have an open source captcha that benefits everyone.

Absolutely! What’s weird is that Teslas have been top-rated for crash-worthiness in the past, so there are a few possibilities I can think of:

• They need to be top crash-worthy, because of the stupid autopilot trying its best to kill the occupants
• They need to be top crash-worthy, because otherwise any crash at all would result in a fiery death
• The Cybertruck is an outlier and is not as crash-worthy as the previous Teslas
• All of the above

What was that rule of thumb for taking multiple choice tests? If you don’t know the answer, always select “all of the above”?

Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto’s 0.85.

Holy shit, that means the Cybertruck fatality rate is around 17 times higher than the Pinto’s!

I see that Trump is trying to reduce US carbon output by drastically reducing commercial air traffic, either by simple lack of air traffic controllers or by making the public too scared to fly! Quite the environmentalist! /s

Ok, I agree with you more now that Trump really fouled the pool, but that still doesn’t excuse Biden essentially saying “fuck it, COVID is over, let 'er rip!”

Ok, I somewhat agree - I think under-reporting happened under both sides, even if Republicans may have done more of it, because both sides had some of the same incentives to do it.

But that’s beside the point. I’m just trying to get people to admit that Biden also did a bad job in handling the pandemic, in the interest of truth and acuracy, but I see that that’s never going to happen with some people here (not directing this last sentence at you futatorius, but just in general with the people who have replied so far and those who downvoted me).

What effects do you think Biden telling the CDC to stop pushing for masking, ventilation, vaccination, and reporting on COVID, and then telling the country that the pandemic was over had on COVID deaths?

Like I said, yes, Trump did a uniquely terrible job handling COVID (except for project warp speed to push for ultra-fast development of vaccines), but it’s flabbergasting to see people speak as if Biden did nothing wrong in his own handling of the pandemic.

You got a little bit of a point. Even if “equally” may be an exaggeration, you can certainly blame Biden for essentially dropping the push for masking, ventilation, vaccinations, and reporting of COVID. I do and always will. Like I said, both of them sucked regarding COVID.

Our rating: False

The post overstates the number of COVID-19 deaths reported in the U.S. during Trump’s presidency. At the time Trump left office in January 2021, the death toll had surpassed 400,000, according to multiple health organizations. The U.S. marked 1 million COVID-19 deaths in May 2022.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States

Deaths 1,212,505[3] (reported) 1,197,470 (CDC estimate)[6]

That means that about twice as many people in the US died from COVID under Biden’s administration than under Trump’s (1.2 million minus 400,000 = 800,000.

Granted, Biden had a lot longer time dealing with the pandemic than Trump did, but this was all just to point out that Biden ALSO sucked in his handling of COVID.

Apple maps if you have that option. Probably not the best for privacy, but better than Google maps for privacy and better than most of the alternatives for navigation.

As much as Trump is absolutely terrible, Biden was equally responsible for the large number of COVID deaths. His administration made the CDC completely abandon masking, ventilation, and other preventative guidance, almost completely abandon or hide COVID statistics, and he also said that the pandemic was “over”. Credit both of them, a pair of terrible presidents.

Good to know, thanks! Is that true even for seeding?

I’m sure he’s just planning to scam them instead of paying. He’s famous for doing that repeatedly to his debtors. Even during the 2024 campaign, some cities were not accepting his rallies because he still owed for previous ones.

FYI, if anyone is interested in VPN for torrenting, apparently Mullvad’s VPN is no longer good for that. Something to do with port forwarding. Out of the three that are recommended on https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ (IVPN, Mullvad, Proton), only Proton apparently still supports that.

Awesome, thanks!

That sounds awesome! Is it a Unicomp EnduraPro or is there some other option?
