Yeah, I saw them, but they are pretty expensive for me. The rotating IMSI and two additional numbers seems cool. But I think for me if it were anything that sensitive I would use an E2E encrypted call/text service since Cape calls and

I get that anything emitting can be tracked and stuff. I'm looking to take a baby step where I'm at least not having every possible detail recorded and sold. That Phreeli recommendation from another user seems like exactly what I

Thanks! This looks like what I want

So they say to turn of location permissions and stuff, but what about the network carrier? Any privacy focused cell services that are reasonably priced?

On the new market, they are really close. Most consumers are buying new. If we want to get pedantic, we can compare buying used systems on Facebook marketplace to cannibalize the parts and resell the others to see net cost.

I do. I'm not sure I like exposing my home address by providing my callsign with my HN account (something to think about for other posters).

"The problem I see with the AM5 socket is simply the fact that DD5 RAM to support it is just too expensive." DDR4 is basically just as expensive. At least DDR5 gives on-chip error correction (not as good as full ECC). For a geneal

"An AI pipeline breaks each one down into plain-language summaries and shows who it impacts by demographic group." What controls are in place for bias in this step? Most existing plaintext law coverage has bias in it, so how was i

Is it still in business? My very limited experience makes it seem like the places that mix share ownership with discounts don't survive.

That history doesn't explain their current motives.

"the state just wants a clean database to avoid complications; it doesn't actually care about truth." What it actually cares about is not having to pay CHIP, etc. Having a man who isn't the biological father paying for s

The state doesn't care about fraud when it benefits the state (a man paying support vs the state paying benefits).

Yes, most states see it that way. But you could still make them the legal father through adoption (like with step parents) without providing inaccurate information on the birth certificate.

We started with GitHub Copilot, but it was largely replaced by Claude Code. The major benefit was that Claude could execute scripts and Copilot could not. That might have just been the way my organization configured it though.

The paternity issue should be easy to overcome with modern technology. There's really no reason the state shouldn't require a paternity test to ensure the accuracy of the state issued birth certificate.

"as the courts are flagrantly biased toward women in these matters" As in most matters. There are many studies about lesser sentences for women vs men who commit the same crimes.

Do you have evidence to back up the implict claim that those two are not strongly correlated?

Vague laws are not required for selective enforcement. You can have strictly defined laws result in selective enforcement through law enforcement and prosecutorial discretion.

"All laws are vague" There are degrees of vagueness, but laws generally attempt to avoid being vague with many definitions and strict construction. If a law is sufficiently vague it may be invalidated, or it is at least required t

I've gone through the process a few times. It does not instill confidence in the system. And that's not including the emotional manipulation tactics that typically take place in jury trials.

I guess it might depend if you get satisfaction out of your job. Many do not even without AI

by giantg2 8mo ago
Makes sense to me. It's the old the work you put in determines what satisfaction you get out of it. If everything is done for you, then what satisfaction is there?

"what does that say about the thought they put into their work, even if they’re using AI for everything coding related?" They don't know because the AI did it for them.

Yeah, it still doesn't make sense - why would a .3% surprise cause more than a 2% move? Even today, it wouldn't. The expectation is baked in to the price already, and the surprise isn't big enough to warrant a massive move. I
