Complete nothingburger. The malicious action would be to subtly change key datasets to promote some kind of biased narrative. It wouldn't be the removal of less than 1% of the datasets. Comical to think the Trump admin would be the o

Are they really blaming it on that or is that what the typical (inferred) explanation is? Clearly things started going wrong economically around that timeframe.

I think it's clear they aren't really sure; putting up a bunch of quasi related charts points to a desire to facilitate a discussion.

Is this new or interesting? I mean my 10 year old car has a feature that shows realtime traffic cams wherever I am. I imagine these things are widely available and you could run a plate reader on those feeds.

Seems crazy to steal a design for something like this. Wouldn't you want something original and innovative? And when the author offered to design them something new, why turn that down? Ultimately they probably plagiarized from some

I love when people do random stuff like this. I couldn't even suss out his reasoning for taking this project on. Normally there is at least a notional but absurd use case. Cool project though, and I'm sure he had fun.

I wrote a shell in C for Bruce Molay's Unix System Programming class. I thought the hardest part was getting the globbing, special characters, and escaping to work right. The other element of Unix system programming in C (that some m

Jaguar and Land [Range] Rover are notorious for their electrical problems. I wouldn't trust an ICE vehicle from them let alone an EV. I doubt that even with new ownership or investment (or whatever is going on here) they can overcome

I can't see the plaintiff gaining anything really. Maybe he's just fed up and decided to do something about it.

I don't think the FDA should be destroyed. Sometimes you have to question if they are in the wrong too frequently, for instance recalling 80,000 lbs. of butter (when it's already more than $7 lb. in most grocery stores) because th

We're doing something like BM25 with a semantic ontology enhanced query (naive example: search for truck hits on Ford F-150, even if truck never appears in the doc) then vector based reranking. In testing, we always get the best resul

This is one of those "lying with statistics" moments. The implication is that "Unwanted telemarketing calls" have gone down significantly, maybe even "more than 50 percent since 2021" and the second order impl

Not sure I would want something non-deterministic in my data pipeline. Maybe if it used GenAI to _develop a ruleset_ that could then be deployed, it would be more practical.

Kind of shows the echo chamber. Looks like the Jordan Peterson account, which has never posted anything, is around number 14.

How did they get these engineers to get through their whole presentation without saying "um", "uh" or look like they are reading. It really seemed off the cuff too. Very talented folks

Well, you would read their methodology which they have posted and then decide if it's reliable. Opinion is naturally ranked downward in their methodology, so in a sense it is separated. The chart has been around for a while and is gen

Somewhat depending on writer, The Guardian is highly biased and fairly inaccurate. I don't think they are filling any type of niche in reporting that we will miss. https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-char

Generalizing here, as kids in the U.S. we used to be taught to never mention or ask about someone's disability, no matter how curious we were. I definely remember a time later (with PSAs and all) where some of those who were disabled

The relevant wisdom here is "sticks and stones..." people who are different are often teased but sometimes celebrated. Sorry you are wheelchair bound (likely due to no fault of your own) but dwelling on a throwaway comment that h

Great but "infant in the womb" and similar phrases go all the way back to antiquity. If anything, dehumanizing the fetus is a recent invention by pro abortion advocates.

Yeah they exist. Data diodes or data guards. They operate at currently available line speeds and there are 100s of thousands in operation. Data diodes are favored by OT companies. For government, Data Guards as they tend to have more ro

In other words, this problem was caused by a progressive regulation intended to help the environment that had the exact opposite effect intended. They set aggressive targets for MPG that were not able to be reached and still produce a car
