My point is just that you're talking past people and being an asshole in the process. Not everything is about winning an argument. Lower your temperature and you'll have more productive discussions that revolve around disagreement

If that's what you got from it, then I hope you have a good life. Be kinder, friend.

"you should probably get your eyes checked." Don't be a jerk. A lot of people have had bad experiences with these systems from people basically saying exactly what you're saying. This "you should get your eyes check

We can, yes. But then everything looks weird. :)

Neat but still hard for me (red/green) to differentiate colors between some. The Merge + Tubulin one in particular.

What would you change to make public defense more adequate?

by chaps 3mo ago
Do you think the courts are independent? Followup question: Do you think public defenders are given adequate funding to ensure they can give proper defense to their clients?

My comment about "lies" was NOT , I repeat, NOT about the robustness of current LLMs. Please reread my post and... please.. do well to yourself.

You're, almost like clockwork, responding to the wrong thing. Not contesting what's been made or what hasn't or what's possible or what's not. That's not the issue I'm bringing up. Just -- do well for your

Respectfully, a lot of what you're saying in this thread sounds a lot like the lies that gamblers tell themselves. Saying this as someone with a strong tendency towards addictions. Some of these things are only possible to really see i

Just tried to open stack overflow and was told their site was under maintenance. When I refreshed, it blocked my IP for refreshing too many times. I expect better from SO.

Sigh. Just because you don't understand why something is confusing to someone doesn't mean it isn't confusing. That's literally the point I'm trying to make. I'm glad it wasn't confusing to you.

Gotcha, thank you. (just to be clear, my post was just to point out that the article is very difficult to make heads or tails of. it's easy to misinterpret a lot of the points many different ways! kind of like they're being overly

Honestly? It's weirdly written and incredibly hard to understand what their point is. I can't tell if they hate or love privacy.

Like I told dang in his response to my email: Believe me, I'm tired of hearing about it too. But when it's used to deport my friends, it's important for me to hear about. --- I hope you can understand why it's aggravatin

Principle of charity, friend; that's not really what's at-issue here. The post was on the front page one minute and the next it was shoved deep to the back. That aint right.

As a reminder, Flock is a ycombinator company. Unrelated, in about a minute this post went from the front page to the third page.

My position is that no amount of policy will ever make these tools safe, fullstop. I've been an investigative journalist doing research into the use of technology by police and prosecutors and the shit I've personally seen is beyo

Care to explain? Not getting a good vibe from you, Mr. CEO.

What you do is: you sue. On my 13th FOIA lawsuit and I have a couple more in the works ;) Depending on where you're from, it's pretty easy to find a pro bono attorney. In Illinois, the plaintiff's attorneys recoup their costs

It's definitely not. For example, police in Illinois have warrantless access to ipass scans. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20645486-re_-externa... HB 4006 nullifies the entire purpose of obtaining To

No need for snark; I'm genuinely interested in your position. From my re-read and re-read, you've provided a conclusory statement without actually explaining the details. Is your definition of "stupid" anything that cont

And public defenders are the main line of defense against prosecutors yet prosecution budgets are significantly higher.

You really sully your position when you call it a "stupid extension of the idea of viewing = searching." Again, details matter: how is it stupid.

Of course they can and of course they do. It gets much more complicated when you consider that each state has different laws about records sharing. And, lol, yes the 4th amendment extends to driving on a public roadway... roads aren't

Friend, that's a.... deep, deep mischaracterization of how the courts work. The cops, prosecutors and judges have deep relationship with each other. Yes, these are "courts problems", but you can't have these courts probl

Knowing about the CEO of a company is the lowest bar for, "testament to accountability" I've ever seen.
