I get why they’d use something like this to save money and time but, is suspect that correct use would include a human check before charging people.

We need to start pushing for laws on this kind of thing. Automated checks are fine if you, as the company, trust they won’t have too many false negatives. If you aren’t checking for false positives, though, you should be heavily fined for each false report. $25,000 per false report sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully that would be large enough to not just be the cost of doing business.

I don’t remember which phone, but one of mine had an rgb led that could be set to blink different colors for different apps. I really miss that!

I don’t like Trump and I’m positive there weren’t millions bussed from Mexico to vote. I also don’t like disinformation.

Just looking at school busses, there are approximately 480,000 school busses in the US. Enough to carry 10-30 million people at once, depending on average bus size

I don’t have time to dig deeper, but im sure there are enough city busses in the US to carry a few million more.

Man, fuck these people. They obviously don’t want justice and don’t believe in liberty, certainly not for all. They are so anti American that they break the Pledge of Allegiance on a daily basis.

This is what we need! Less science, more militarized law enforcement!

Who else would do it at this point?

But I’m aware that the US legal system has a looong way to go before it can accomodate for such distinctions.

And we’re moving farther from that goal with every decision handed down by our Supreme Court.

Thanks, I normally don’t comment without reading… I guess I got lazy…

I know nothing about this guy. Another asshole billionaire?

Overreach? They are sending repair kits to the owners of the pools if they request them. The pool owners aren’t required to do anything and the company whose product played a role in the deaths of nine kids are just sending kits to improve the pool’s safety. This doesn’t sound super onerous for anyone involved.

Also, I’m guessing you don’t have kids if you think that even the most diligent parents can keep tabs on their kids all of the time. I keep a close eye on my toddler, but he certainly is able to get into mischief when I look away for a minute.

I doubt this would happen to me because I do watch extremely closely, but I can’t guarantee that a situation couldn’t come up in which my kid could escape my notice long enough to get into a pool. The numbers of incidents are low because most parents are diligent, but even diligent parents can have lapses.

Ignoring the actual content of what he’s saying here for a minute, it’s amazing to hear how different his speech patterns were at this point. He’s actually capable of composing a single sentence. Now it sounds like he’s just creating a mashup of a bunch of unrelated sentences.

Ad a fairly senior developer, I’m not at all surprised. AI speeds me up in some circumstances like writing boilerplate; things like kubernetes manifests. It does not speed up my coding, but it does help me explore options, expand my knowledge, and point me down the right track on new methods and packages. It also lets me do things I wouldn’t normally bother with, but which are good practice like finding edge cases for unit tests, packaging for multiple architectures, writing scripts to profile my code, etc.

Essentially, I’m likely slower writing code with AI assistance but I think the code is higher quality because it let’s me quickly assess many options and implement best practices that are normally tedious to implement manually.

I almost never accept code AI has written without modification, but I think I gain a lot from its use.

The POS gives 20%, 25%, and 30% tip options, too.

I don’t think so. I think they’ll either use it for very benign tasks or they’ll get a LOT of people killed.

I think the point that keeps getting forgotten is that these people don’t even hear about the bad things that Trump does most of the time and, when they do, it comes with spin to make it sound like a good thing. Mostly, they just hear about how much they are winning, how perfect the administration is… how great this administration has been for the economy, how much they have helped minorities but not in a way that will displace white people… how perfectly they are winning on the international stage, how perfectly the most recent special military action went, how much the rest of the world respects the US, how quickly other countries are giving in to our terriffs.

They don’t hear truth and, at this point, they are so brainwashed that they wouldn’t know what to do with the truth if they encountered it.

Well, that’s a new one. Obama and Clinton colluded to create the Epstine files. Until now they’ve been real and “about to be released”.

I had no idea that doves could so obviously express excitement! So cool! Much more personality than I expected!

My bet is on trying to manufacture a war/emergency to grab power.

If these aren’t microplastics, what are?

“Micro” just means “small” in this case and doesn’t mean “microscopic” or have anything to do with “micrometer”.

The definition of “microplastic” according to NOAA: “Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long”.
