God help us; the vagrants are doing some sorts of crime. And reading statistics on this stuff? Hah! The police don't even report crime statistics: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/07/13/fbi-crime-r

The question stands, then! What's your answer?

What term would you use to encompass non-white folk?

This poem feels completely different now than in the 60s, I'm sure. Like it's advocating for a techno optimistic dystopia where nobody, not even animals, can be left alone by the countlessly pervasive benevolent machines of facele

They also support iframes! The absolute madness of PDFs is a world wonder. But I'm really still not sure we could do without them.

Anyone who's familiar with procurement: don't these systems require a security audit and such for them to become a government contractor? Seems like that wasn't ever done.

I trust that the pitch deck is accurate, but I also have no idea the extent of its use or if it was even used. Has anyone done a public low-level analysis of these systems with questions like, where the data goes, the quality of the stream,

Same. Maybe the guy should start thinking of people as people before contemplating what to do about himself.

Our definition of "no consequences" is very different, apparently. Have a good one.

by chaps 2y ago
Your definition of "distasteful, but that's about it" is likely substantially understated from just about everyone else in the world.

Unprofessional to who, exactly? Like a sister comment says, an understandable system was built, so it seems like a strong professional relationship existed. Every codebase is going to have different definitions of "professional standa

> Why? Why do you not have documentation? > Documentation is very hard. It is harder than writing code because there is no parsing of documentation, no demonstration of correctness. You answered your own question :)

Around the time I was born, my dad was in the army and was taught in an intelligence class that "financial problems" is one of the most exploitable facets of a person by nation states. I don't really know much about his work,

Friend, your lack of consideration that you might be wrong or that I'm wrong, absolutely-fullstop, is telling. I stand by what I said.

My point was to suggest to OP that their dichotomous reductionism goes way, way overboard to the point of unproductive callousness. People with addictions aren't just data points. Saying this as a data journalist who focuses on policin

It has been put into consideration. But now that we've made it clear that there have been ~ misunderstandings ~, can you try to see where I'm coming from now? :)

I disagree with your characterization of my comment and I think you greatly missed the point I was making. The OP presented a false dichotomy as if these things aren't woven in with each other in a large feedback loop. You comment fals

Imagine hearing someone's loved one dying to drug use and asking them, "But isn't this a false correlation?". What a deeply and unsettlingly cold question that lacks any potential for empathy.

We're in agreement! What's endlessly interesting to me with all of this is how surprisingly quick the benchmarking feedback loops have become plus the level of scrutiny each one receives. We (as a culture/society/whateve

Honestly, is gaming benchmarks actually a problem in this space in that it still shows something useful? Just means we need more benchmarks, yeah? It really feels not unlike keggle competitions. We do the same exact stuff with real people w

Can I ask -- what do you do for work? My gut tells me that you're younger and still trying to figure out whether your means of living is good or justified. And you haven't exactly found that answer yet.

What it sounds like you're opposed to is even the consideration that your work can be used for purposes outside of what they're created for. And um, yeah, the AirTag release was bad enough for obvious reasons and Apple had to ma

By this logic, software developers of life saving medical technology should have zero pride or comfort in knowing that their work directly saved lives. And the janitor at a hospital should feel no pride for helping to clean a place that mak

Flip it around -- I would consider it to be a large red flag if the company behind Openstack was unable to use Openstack because of brain drain and infrastructure rot.

When I worked at rackspace in 2016/2017 we couldn't even internally get a critical Openstack server reprovisioned after it was accidentally given 4GB of disk instead of 4GB of ram and would break when it ran out of disk space. Nob

Eh, SQL and python can still work together very well where SQL takes the place of pandas. Doing things in waves/batch helps. Big problem with pandas is that you still have to load the dataframe into memory to work with it. My data&#x27

As a person who just dives into things, these sorts of resources are helpful to bridge many gaps. It's a nice way to learn more than one thing at the same time. Theory and rote learning has its limits, and the expectation shouldn&#x27
