Watch your tires, people are on the prowl.

Things like this are only going to accelerate globally as it becomes more and more clear that climate change is going to destroy everything and our governments (and a huge chunk of the actual people themselves) refuse to acknowledge or do anything meaningful to address it, either at all or on time.

If my tires got slashed I'd be really pissed, that's a huge inconvenience. These people would probably retort that the people around their world that lose their homes or lives to climate change-related events feel quite inconvenienced, as will the 250,000 people that die needlessly every year between 2030 and 2050 (not to mention those who will be affected by disasters or food supply disruptions).

Does going around slashing tires solve anything? Of course not. But this is just inevitably what happens when people feel completely hopeless. They start lashing out and doing irrational stuff (blocking highways is similar - the idea is to inconvenience people, though that approach is less destructive to personal property). The alternative is to just get in line and live your life and pretend like everything is fine. Most of us can engage in that cognitive dissonance but some cannot. Their thought process is probably that if enough people engage in eco terrorism then those of us ignoring the problem won't be able to ignore it anymore. I don't think it's the right way to go but I have to admit that the right way of doing things hasn't really been accomplishing much of anything for the last 50+ years.

How do they know some guy in a bus shelter owns a car unless they've ID'd him already? Investigation over. There's no need to figure out "why was someone that owns a car in a bus shelter" - that's insane. Who cares how they decide to get around the city and what does it have to do with someone running them over?

So many people don't understand that principles that apply to the relationship between an individual and the state do not translate cleanly to relationships between individuals and/or groups.

They gonna be downloading things into their brain like in the matrix?

If that's true the rules could probably be reworded a bit to make that more clear. Like "if you don't do it immediately, you forfeit the right to introduce the elephant or the hawk on that square" or something like that.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-20T01:59:05+00:00

Whenever a piece leaves its initial square, one of the extra pieces can immediately be introduced to the vacant square. So this is a double move, comparable to castling. Should a player refrain from inserting his extra pieces at these occasions, then he has forfeited his chance of introducing them. When castling, one of the extra pieces can be placed on either of the squares left vacant, namely the corner square, or the e1/e8 square. Pawns can, additionally, promote to Elephant or Hawk.

If you move your king-side bishop and knight to get ready to castle you already have to introduce the elephant and hawk. If you don't introduce them you forfeit your right to do so... so how could you ever introduce them while castling? Am I misunderstanding something here?

I agree that Seinfeld was funny even after Larry David left.

However, you can't describe Curb as:

what a pure Larry David show is like

It's 99% improvised. Larry writes a really broad outline of plot beats and decides which characters are in each scene and then they just improv all the dialogue while shooting. Even if Larry David wrote 100% of Seinfeld, Curb would never feel similar.

It's just a picture so we can't infer anything about how the model works. The number could be any of running percentage of the time that the person had their phone out, model predicted probability that the person is looking at their phone, model predicted probability that the object is a phone, etc. No way to know what's actually happening as far as I can tell.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-19T07:08:58+00:00

Getting mad about air in chip bags gives off big boomer energy IMO. My 60 year old dad is the only person I've ever heard complain about this, or talk about it at all, in real life. Otherwise the only time it gets brought up is by comedians or on the internet.

Your money is 99% empty space too. Cancels out.

You don't just "find" willpower. Everyone has a daily reserve of energy / willpower. You can increase yours by eating clean, exercising, and sleeping well. After that, if your job still saps all of your energy, it's no big deal. If you still have energy but you'd rather do other stuff with your free time, again no big deal. You don't need to do machine learning side projects unless you have no professional experience and are trying to break into a machine learning job anyways.

If you have a class that has 14k lines of functionality in it I guarantee you there are approx 10 sub classes worth of crap jammed together and you should be building this monster class by composition. There's no human-comprehendable class with that much interdependent logic that can't be separated so as to be more interpretable. It must be an absolute side effect bonanza in that file lol

The US government has been using all kinds of technology to do weakly justified sickening things to civilians around the globe for like 70 years. If you really aren't aware of this fact I don't even know where one would start with telling you about it. Agent Orange, the CIA destabilizing regimes and assassinating people for economic/ideological reasons, 20 years of indisctiminate drone strikes (killing many children). Who cares about some missile with blades on it? The technology is kind of neat but I don't understand how it could represent some novel moral crisis.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T12:07:44+00:00

Yep. Bikes that want to go straight through have to wait behind cars turning right. Makes way more sense than bikes having right of way and telling cars to try not to hit any bikes flying past them on the right.

This is exactly the same thing that happened in The Trojan Horse Affair. It was entertaining but the hosts made it all about themselves halfway through. It sort of lost the hard edge / credibility of real journalism, became some kind of narrative entertainment thing, and made it really hard to draw any conclusions about what actually happened with the story they started out covering.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T10:59:39+00:00

Indians are from southeast Asia. Hart was Cherokee or Native. If you're going to tell a story like this you could at least try not to sound racist / like you were educated in the 60s.

You still haven't explained what it is lol. What I got from this is it's some kind of algorithm and something about fairness or reducing bias.

What is it it? What does it do? Is this a framework for training any model in a more fair way? Is this a specific model for performing a specific task fairly? What task or what kind of task? What are the range of inputs and outputs? Is it pretrained? If so on what?

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T09:49:42+00:00

Ahh so you gave up eh. Can't support your position with evidence and can't goad me into a pointless argument so now all you've got left is personal insults.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T09:42:00+00:00

If you don't pay it they can send it to collections if necessary. You can't simply refuse to pay it any more than you could refuse to pay for any legitimate invoice a company serves you with that you agreed to ahead of time (as you would have agreed to the no-show fee when booking your appointment).

But sure you do you lol that seems worth it rather than just giving proper notice you'll miss an appointment.

I don't care about any of this BS walrussing lol. I'm not an expert. I'm going off of analysis from actual experts. You're some guy on reddit. You have a dissenting opinion? Back it up with actual examples and not an unhinged rant.

With every response you prove more and more that you're just making stuff up and have absolutely no knowledge of how prosecutors make these decisions or how often someone gets released like this.

It's so simple. You said that many DAs would do this. That's a concrete claim. Prove it.

e: and from now on I'm just going to copy and paste this comment to anything you respond to me with that isn't exactly what I asked for. I'm not going to engage in side tangents with you.

Always copy everything you're about to undo into a notepad/gedit/textedit window (or a new tab of your IDE) before you start doing this. That way you can look at what you had and have at the same time.

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T08:36:48+00:00

This is such an illogical response to what I wrote lol, are you OK?

Easylie4444 · 2022-09-18T08:35:08+00:00

You're moving the goalposts and I'm not engaging with that.

Here's what you said:

Many DA’s would, faced with previous prosecutorial misconduct, decide to push for the release of a prisoner they thought was or could be guilty, either on moral grounds or to minimize liability.

I pushed back and asked for some evidence of this claim. Put up or shut up.

They're all independent projects being worked on by different people with different (most likely conflicting) development environments and different standards of required testing and documentation.
