No, it's not that easy or that simple. From pixelated Obama to some random white guy: https://twitter.com/Chicken3gg/status/1274314622447820801

We're talking about someone who's trying to get more info about the reason why they've been put into jail. Possibly because it would help their case. The agency basically decided on an ultimatum. And no, lawyers won't al

Heh, yeah, good. Similarly, Chicago Police Department has denied FOIA requests of people in jail because they claim they'd have to provide the records as a CD.. arguing that the CD could be used as a weapon.

This is still wildly unclear.

by chaps 4y ago
Oh it totally is. But with the number of people in this thread (and past threads) talking about how nice this is, "all it needs is.." and such, it's not unwarranted to call out the system's obvious absurdity.

I think this is the main ruleset: https://github.com/rowanmanning/joblint/blob/master/lib/rule... There's such a striking lack of racist/homophobic rules that I'm almost willing to be

Wrote a tweet-fitting one-liner that downloads every csv-like file from every government open data portal that's public on Socrata. Gave me a fun reason to play with FIFO files to do makeshift recursion. mkfifo f;echo \0>f&x

Can you explain how it's not a privacy problem?

This is great, but please let us use it without vocals! I mostly listen to instrumental, so this was unexpectedly jarring. Even adding "instrument" generates vocals, and the vocals aren't exactly great for the music styles

Yeah. And the system that's used to track the parking tickets by the city, CANVAS (IBM), cost the city over 100 million dollars alone. Currently suing for the system's database schema and our oral arguments are being brought to th

Of course, but when you stretch the truth, you lose the message and lose the people you need to reach the most. To me, that sort of truth stretching is way colder than I could ever be.

Streetsblog has a tendency to use infrequent/irrelevant traffic deaths and such to paint pictures about wider things. Things like, using hit and runs at stop signs to argue about speed limits. They did that a lot in Chicago when the ci

Well, Chicago started a trial program of it recently. Doubt that would have come out if it weren't for the pandemic.

The year is 2025. You wake up after what feels like a long nap and you haven't touched pandas since you wrote this comment. In front of you is a pen and piece of paper with instructions to hand-write some pandas code to transform a col

How large is the data you're working with? Airtable (expensive, with serious row limitations) and its open source alternatives (apparently great, but I've never used one) are basically what you're looking for. They allow you

[Sobs in hours spent in pandas documentation] Or, just use a relational database. Alternatively, airtable and similar are basically relational databases that have some really neat features that let you create relationships by just copying&#

Thanks!

Good point. Wondering now if there'd be a way to walk backwards from the modeled audio to a full physics simulation of the spoken words. Thanks for the link!
861.
by chaps 4y ago
Possibly weird question, but have there been any attempts at modeling this sort audio model specifically where tokens aren't defined by its audio, but instead by the movement of the tongue/mouth/lips/vocal chords, etc?

He said that he identified as black until he read the poll, which made him turn back to identifying as white. I'm... struggling... to interpret that any way that's not ignorant at best .

Is it, though? To be blunt, run a news search for: professor rape for years "complaints" "ignored" Tons of distinct cases there. Many of them ignored until after the victim(s) filed suit. Edit: and at Stanford! [1

I'm a reporter who works very specifically on policing and jailing in Chicago, and have spent years FOIAing these documents, and thousands of hours reading through them, and just as many in SQL/python. It hurts to the core reading

Your guess is as good as mine, man. But -- I saw the video, I saw the cop's face, I saw his partner's face, and the faces of the cops who were also dispatched, I saw the reports, I've seen the dispatch data, I've seen th

You hear this from police, too and it's one of the reasons police will often require you to go to a specific station, sign an affidavit, record an interview of you, and provide maximal information to show that your complaint is valid,

Anybody know of any way to make psql behave well with multiline vim mode? Hitting k while in command mode just goes to the previous command instead of the previous line in the sql you're working on. Been a thorn in my side for a while.

This is so freaking strange, but I can see how it happened and it doesn't surprise me at all. Thankfully it's been resolved, as another poster pointed out ( https://www.supportdavidcarpenter.org ). It's not uncommon
