It's extremely hard to certify chain of custody and validate mail-in ballots. It would require forensic analysis of the ballot, looking at the signature for example, and that is not feasible or realistic to do, even after elections. In

Your questions are proving one of my points. There is a lot of concern over voter fraud, regardless of whether they were dismissed or not, there is diminishing trust in election results. Dismissing that concern is equivalent to dismissing t

Sure, we can build a bridge here. I'm not convinced voter fraud is such a "distraction" or insignificant because 1) there is a ton of concern about this with multiple court cases etc., and 2) precisely because there isn'

How do these people register to vote, do you not need ID for that or should that be banned as well?

by proc0 2y ago
Why bother with ID when registering to vote, then? Or should we ban voter ID for registration as well?

It's not enough to claim votes are verified. The verification process has to be trustworthy and not some opaque process that needs a lot effort in order to challenge it if people think there was something wrong. Of course the people wh

The claim is that they check AFTER you casted your vote, whether or not you are registered, but that does not foster confidence in the results... unless we are to believe that all this verification is done extremely quickly and efficiently

There were a couple times when I forgot to register after moving to different county, like in SF one time, and I was given a provisional ballot, no questions asked. I showed ID for them to check if I had registered, but I guess now that is

Right, I think it's a limitation of deep learning. Transformers and gigantic leaps in scaling have allowed AI models to reach impressive capabilities, but at its core it's limited by its training data. This is not how actual intel

That's one data point. If you compare it to movies and shows, the audience skews a lot younger. If you ask the average person their perception is that they are too busy to play games, yet they probably spend many hours watching movies

Powerful hardware can help innovate in areas other than pretty graphics, but they're not taking those risks, and I'm pointing out that powerful hardware is mostly on the GPU side, but it doesn't have to be that way. Games cou

I meant in other ways than just pretty graphics. Powerful hardware can be used for game mechanics, adding more interactivity, physics, etc., but AAA mostly just upscales graphics.

Part of the problem is the lack for AAA studios to take big risks. They keep iterating on old ideas that do not take advantage of powerful hardware. The exception to this is photorealistic graphics, but that obviously limits the type of gam

Games are being held back by cultural stigma. At its core it's a new artistic medium, just like moving pictures (film) was back in the early 20th century. Imagination is the only limit here, but society at large still thinks "vide

Writing code is the easiest part of the process (relatively speaking). Figuring out the requirements, working with stakeholders to drive consensus, and understanding user needs is the bulk of the work. LLMs will certainly lower the entry ba

Right, I think you're basically highlighting what I'm trying to say. The fact that election results are not official until potentially a month later, is a problem. > These ballots are always counted during the official canvass

I don't know all the details but I think the issue is not so much people confirming their own vote as much as states validating all the votes. Many states have provisional ballots and I'm not sure how those are checked to be valid

It's hard to say whether that would work without knowing the landscape of market in that area, like if there's a need and if there are competitors. It sounds like what you're suggestion could be a full blown app with accounts

by proc0 2y ago
Great, and then there will be no way to certify or validate the chain of custody when they're counted. This all adds to people not trusting elections, and it's crazy this isn't top priority.

I disagree, but I guess it depends on the org and the product. Ideally, engineers are not worried about the product at all, and are focusing on creating it and doing the engineering. Let's consider whether product owners should make e

This is bad problem solving in my opinion. If this is truly a problem, then there has to be other "rabbit holes" that are damaging kids and teenagers. Anything from stunts to weird challenges and pranks could have similar effects.

You don't really need any framework feature for this. It's really about good client side architecture, and abstracting components to fetch things before they are needed based on the most probable interactions. It depends on the do

This is correct, although I would say time and state are two sides of the same coin, rather than the same thing. This is also why functional programming is a good abstraction, because it's abstracting time and therefore state from the
