A lot of folk tried to justify the situation as being not as bad as it sounded, citing the official narrative as a source of truth. It's amazing to me that people will still trust police narratives.

Heh, you're right I got it wrong but there's really no need for your weird aggression. Cheers.

Having worked with SQL for many years now, I truly disliked using graphql when I used it. Most of the time all I need is just a csv-like structure of the data I'm working with and I had a very difficult time with just getting something

I'm all for avoiding anthropomorphism of these things, but what word (or set of words) would you use instead?

I didn't say it exhausts the knowledge.. what I'm saying is very much the opposite of that -- knowledge is front and center. I'm more referring to the experience and new lenses on past similar experiences, which I think we&#x

I recoiled at that a bit too, but I think what they mean is similar to how some games can "only be played once". Best example of that is Outer Wilds, where attaining information is the goal of each gameplay loop. Once you've

Neat! I did a similar project many years ago just to see if I could with ANSI color stuff to animate video in my terminal. Worked really well, but it looked like absolute butt (unlike this project). Nicely done!

My personal theory is that it's an easy way to say "no" if nothing else is easier.

Total anecdata, but whenever I've had to take an IQ test for an interview process, it's never the IQ test that's used to disqualify me. It's usually something like culture fit. But these days if a job requires me to do a

Friend, we're talking about classifying skin cancer. The topic is already quite broad.

by chaps 1y ago
It's a problem that has many image classification components to it. "Vibe coding" does a surprisingly good job at this problem. Yes it does. :)

by chaps 1y ago
I've done enough image classification stuff that, nah. If all you care about is high level confirmation with high error rates, sure. But more complex tasks like, "Are these two documents the same?" are much, much harder and t

What's the context here?

You cropped out the first part that implicitly indicates that there are more forms of protesting than direct action. I get what your point is, but I think you're making a mountain out of an ant hill. Just don't click the damn link

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

It's not ironic at all. It doesn't take much threat modeling to understand that the risk of getting banned from discord isn't the same risk. And whatever risk there is becomes offset by a need to want to protect your loved on

by chaps 1y ago
Yes, I'm aware that discord does it. But what I'm responding to is you saying that that the act of clicking a discord link will lead to a ban. That's an exaggeration.
351.
by chaps 1y ago
We're agreement that discord sucks and should not be used for these sorts of communities. But I truly don't think that clicking on a discord link that already has 1500 people in it is going to be problematic to any degree that wou

"It's also illogical to encourage this behavior if your goal is protesting." Yeah, if you lack imagination ;) There are many, many forms of protesting that don't escalate to destruction. I really think you're exagge

It's a discord associated with this site: https://deflock.me/ . The discord itself isn't about the destruction of the ALPRs. It's just a community to map the devices and to understand their use throughout the

Could you please expand on this thought? I'm curious where this abstraction's inflection points are.

by chaps 1y ago
It would! I'd be very interested in seeing the shape and outliers. Like, are there some folk who actually see improvements? Or who don't see any brain reprogramming at all? Do different methods of interacting with these systems ha

To be clear, I'm not saying that peer review is bad!! Quite the opposite.

Please no. Remember that room temperature superconductor nonsense that went on for way too long? Let's please collectively try to avoid that..

I think your anger is clouding your interpretation of words and intent of words. Chill, friend.
