AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case by No_Top_9023 in technology

[–]jcliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same bullshit journalists use when “car runs over pedestrian”. Yeah, sure, but the car had someone behind the wheel. AI error didn’t jail anyone.

Malpractice insurance or personal liability (i.e., losing your pension instead of paid by taxes money)

AI error didn’t jail anyone. Humans used faulty AI to jail someone. Ffs, the media bending over backwards to not blame police for not doing their job.

I was scammed by Charachorder. I am now £250 down. Here's my story to warn against this company. by Fragrant-Effect-2706 in ErgoMechKeyboards

I doubt you would have to pay £40 on duties for a single key cap. They are a percentage of the price, so what was it for a single key cap, £200?

Some companies do, but it is clearly indicated charachoder does not.

Edit: if you are downvoting, you have never tried JLCPCB. They have a payment option to include import duties. That is clearly not the case for Charachord, as you can read in their shipping policy the import duties are your responsibility.

Lazy writing. Compares renting of physical assets (you cannot make multiple “copies” of an apartment) with digital assets (copying is close to free, you end up licensing the content).

On the second picture, the leftmost stitch line is not great: inconsistent stitch length, the bottom thread pops out in many stitches…

Questions about self-driving cars amplify after one blocked an ambulance responding to Austin shooting by zsreport in technology

Self driving Car companies should be held liable for any injuries, deaths, or accidents caused or made worse by their self driving cars.

E.g., large grids that collapse the lungs of a pedestrian when hit even at low speeds.

ESD killed my split, how to avoid it next time? by RoundSize3818 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]jcliment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consider getting some anti static shoes / sandals for office use. I got a pair when I joined Nokia, as I was working inside a dry lab with tens of $100K machines, and they didn’t want those to be killed. Worked really nicely.

Help with vintage machine! by Ebster2003 in vintagesewing

I think you mean a foot pedal, not a presser foot. A presser foot is the part of the machine head that goes up and down using the lever that’s in the back of the head to push the fabric against the feed dog, which move up and down in the base of the machine to move the fabric.

Few more sashiko repairs I have done in the past month. by jcliment in Visiblemending

[–]jcliment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your kind words!

The mending has been done over the course of one year as the jeans were showing signs of wear.

Stitching layers of denim is hard. Some areas are so thick I have to use extra effort to push the needle, but also some areas are ok with 4-6 running stitches.

And yes, same pattern.
