>Wasn't a lack of transparency one of the original issues folks didn't like about Digg?
For me it was a slow gradual build up of stuff. Lack of transparency played a role but it was* more the features added/removed. The final thing that made me switch to reddit was the changes to power users. They basically allowed power users to completely control the front page. There are tons of reddit threads that go into a lot more details.
Honestly in the past year or two I have been fairly impressed with recent grads I have worked with. On the other hand I've run across several people that got laid off from one of the big tech companies and I am shocked how little they know. Things that should have taken a week or two such as setting up an api endpoint to return records or consuming one of our apis ends up taking 4+ months for them to complete.
There is at least one person doing this with pythons. The guys name is dusty and he was on the tv shows guardians of the glades and swamp people serpent invasion. I believe this is his store page: https://www.pythonwildman.com/
I am a little confused what you are saying here. Are you saying Newsom doesn't deserve all the blame, because I agree with him not deserving it all, but I don't really see anyone claiming he is solely to blame (other than you implying it).
I live in CA. I blame everyone down the chain. Most people I know say the same thing. Its not one person or entity. Its the entire chain that allows this to happen including the legislature, business owners that are lobbying, the governor that is signing these bill, but most of all the citizens voting in CA. We voted for this. IMO we are the one entity the most to blame.
Until we, the voters, step up and take responsibility for our actions nothing is going to get fixed. After all why would the business owners, legislators, or governor be expected to take responsibility when everyone who votes in the state gets to pass the buck?
>> however, I do not think there is any real danger in airing with the side of caution and trying to fight the innate biases in the training data. It seems like this was Google's goal.
Could you please provide evidence of this being google goal? From everything I have seen, from the posts of google employees who worked on it, to Geminis own responses, they were being racist against white people. In fact considering google retains so much power over your average person I believe it would be considered systemic racist.
To claim it is being overblown to me sounds like you are trying to say this form of racism is okay.
Check out the book empire of pain. It goes back the beginning of the Sackler rise and covers how we go to where we are today.
The problem I have with your statement about the legal system is IMO Purdue and the Sacklers corrupted the justice department, legal system, and various Federal agencies. This was not some overnight thing. This took decades of works by multiple generation of the family. The system we have today is in large part thanks to the Sacklers.
Thanks for the recommendation - added to my burgeoning tbr list. I've seen some dramatised documentaries on the subject (I think it's pulled ahead of Theranos documentaries now), and I'm sure there's a lot more nuance than is covered in screen retellings.
Though Dopesick did make it fairly clear that federal agencies had been corrupted, as part of the original approval granting process. They didn't properly explore that angle, unfortunately.
I think they were comparing losing a home to losing a service that your business or income source depend on. The second actually seems worse to me as losing your source of money means you lose your home along with everything else.
not sure if you're trolling or not but last i heard people simply strapping an exercise/weighted wrist band to the steering wheel which simulated torque being applied to the steering wheel which leads a Tesla to believe someone is paying attention. A quick search on Youtube reveals more than a few videos confirming this.
It may have been true at the time, but now Tesla uses the interior camera to make sure you are paying attention to the road.
If you don’t want to use the FSD beta, you don’t have to activate the camera, or you can put tape over it. With either of these actions the user can opt out but will not have the ability to use the beta.
No I was being serious. Searching turns up defeating the system with someone in the seat but not without. The other commenter provided a video showing it is possible from two month ago.
I am assuming the 1 IC element in the link I reference below is the DOE. It claims
"One IC element assesses with moderate confidence that the first human infection with SARS-CoV-2 most likely was the result of a laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. These analysts give weight to the inherently risky nature of work on coronaviruses."
Based on the quote (if the one IC element is in fact the DOE) is seem they are basing it on the "inherently risky nature of the work on coronaviruses.
I do find it interesting this was given with moderate confidence but the natural occurring is only given low confidence. Any idea how the whole confidence level is determined?
The DOE seems to have assigned "moderate" confidence to the idea of a lab leak on the basis of zero concrete evidence. Taking the assessment on the whole it seems obvious to me that the argument from them is weak, but the assessment can't come out and just state that in plain English.
