who is ignorant of anything? Foundry is a pretty decently known product now, plenty of companies and gov departments use it. It's a B2B product but anybody can go spin up a test account or read the docs, none of it is secret?

Mentioning Palantir on the internet right now is like socially acceptable qanon, in that any semblance of critical thinking or evidence is rapidly discarded if it gets in the way of a good story.

Health service buys software from massive multinational. They also work with Google, Azure and AWS. More news at 11.

They don't buy or sell data.

Sorry, where? Maybe I've missed something, but the article is just about their health business growing in New York rather than an illegal data backdoors?

It's a software company, it sells software. You can literally go read the docs. It doesn't magically bypass the law anymore than Microsoft Sharepoint does. https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry

So I briefly touched on this in the blog post, but to expand a little... ATProto provides significantly more "batteries included" than ActivityPub in my view - if you use ATProto, it can handle both authentication and identity man

Right? This is kind of the dream.

I mean, by comparison to the booming US market, paying for London talent is becoming an absolute bargain...

I mean, I do slightly appreciate this (not all businesses need to grow 10X every year to succeed), but the other way of phrasing it is that London produces lots of business that generates lots of money.

The fact they pivoted away from their very compelling core offering (AI stack overflow) to complete with loveable etc in the "AI generated apps" giant fight continues to baffle me. Though I guess model updates ate their lunch.

I love getting diverted from the violent domestic call to turn up to a theoretical firearms call and find out it was just someone trying to be clever.

Oh for gods sake, can we stop this nonsense mad twitter trope spreading through HN. Having been a cop in the UK, we will happily got nick a robber if they're on the move and tell us where they are, and we don't arrest people for &

Palantir don't sell data though, they just give you a software platform.

No they're not. An incredibly small number of people might get arrested if policing cocks up. Nobody is being jailed.

Yeah, this is silly. Plenty of companies are hosting their own now, sometimes on prem. This isn't going away

Presumably he'll have one of these to Google, Microsoft and AWS anytime now. Oh wait, no, because that won't get him the clickbaity headlines he actually wants rather than actually trying to improve the NHS.

He's apologised for it publicly, so, you know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Polanski

It would be a pretty massive GDPR breach if it wasn't, wouldn't it? All the biometrics is "special category" data which you can't play face and loose with.

I did something similar with Risk, which was also good fun https://andreasthinks.me/posts/ai-at-play/

God, why do americans assume everywhere is like their weird place. Most countries designed their police to very specifically be civilian.

by crimsoneer 9mo ago
Most cops do not see their job like this, and mostly just want to get home at the end of the day. Yes, they probably have more than their fair share of weirdoes (in the same way most uniformed institutions disproportionately filled with you

This is an awful lot of very puritanical armchair psychiatry from a random man on the internet. She's doing something she finds interesting, in a surprisingly data driven way, and seemingly not harming anyone, you can put the pitchfork

Not everything needs to be for everyone. I think this is super cool - I run a local transcription tool on my laptop, and the idea of miniaturising it is super cool.

Worth pointing out this is a single player total conversion, not just a bunch of maps. It's also absolutely banging.
