Hey, sometimes they like to overthrow a beloved monarchy and install a dictatorship, just to spice things up every so often

Infected road rash all up your right arm is so much worse too, and I imagine there’s probably worse things than that once you get into spinal pain

You’re wondering if a place that grew on monopoly and extortion, with some of the most impoverished, deprived and violent neigborhoods in the country, along with some of the most exclusive and expensive collections of gated mansions, could have serious fundamental issues?
I’d think it’s safe to assume that’s it’s this one…

A quick google search when I was initially fact-checking took me to this reddit post; I’m highly skeptical of both the LAPD and reddit so went for 15 minutes to be “safe” but make of it what you will…

In an ideal world, if it’s someone who immediately mentions that it’s third time they’ve called this week about a neighbor having a dead tree in their garden, or someone’s mad because someone else parked in “their” spot, someone’s calling the fire department on someone having a bbq or someone’s stubbed their toe, that sort of thing can get put way down the “call back later” list

Everything else gets put through to a person. In LA it’s not unusual to wait 15+ minutes after you call 911; most cities are going to be shorter, and if the wait is under a minute, you don’t need the AI triage. If you do have a wait and block out 25% of calls which are obviously a waste of time with AI, you can significantly reduce that (ideally in addition to hiring more operators, but let’s be realistic…)

You remember while walking out of the front door, but tell yourself it’s too much effort to go back and get them, only to regret forgetting them and not going back for them while it was easy right?

The difference between reasoning models and normal models is reasoning models are two steps, to oversimplify it a little they prompt “how would you go about responding to this” then prompt “write the response”

It’s still predicting the most likely thing to come next, but the difference is that it gives the chance for the model to write the most likely instructions to follow for the task, then the most likely result of following the instructions - both of which are much more conformant to patterns than a single jump from prompt to response.

Anything territorial with a social structure (wolves, horses & boars being great examples of successful domestications, otters and falcons for in-progress domestications and foxes and raccoons good candidates) are prime domestication material as the human can become the social leader and they won’t be as inclined to leave what is their pack’s territory

That said, it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate something, which is why “semi-domesticated” otters and falcons just sort of help out with hunting without being “friendly” enough to be predictable

Works fine on eternity

Frankly you don’t even need to use AM/PM for casual conversation… “I’ll see you at four” almost certainly doesn’t mean 4am unless it’s very clear from contextual information, same for verbally booking appointments

It’s just things like travel timings etc which are likely going to be written anyway where you actually need that clarification

The difference is people still write Java, regardless of whether it’s a dated pos or not, so the use cases have evolved

Then there’s the use of the JVM/JRE which have evolved even more due to Scala, Clojure & Kotlin

Yeah, now AI can produce infinite slop there’s no need for human-produced slop anymore

Source tarballs are often super sensitive to environment and distro such that you’d need to modify them to work on the specific distro/with the specific dep versions and so at that point, just precompile binaries?

It’s also much quicker for the end user, nobody wants to wait 5-60 minutes for their package to install unless you’re making modifications to it

The real difference is between gif and animated webp… Even fewer places accept animated webp than normal webp and those that do often don’t even show it right (looking at you slack emojis) which is a travesty as the file size difference is huge

Singapore?

And the EU have burgundy which is red-adjacent

Us politics isn’t about economics anyway, especially when you’ve got Republicans raising taxes sky high and restricting free trade. It’s about social and cultural issues more than ever these days.

Obviously UK consumer protection is different so they may not have the “feature” here, but cars get their milage recorded yearly (after the first 3 years) as part of roadworthiness testing, available online given the licence plate, so I can see I did 7041 miles in the last year.

Does the DMV not have something similar?

What if it’s a convolution though 🤔

only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?

No, 1-12 are influenced by the old base 12 Germanic/Norse system, which is why -teen starts at thirteen, same as in German (11: elf, 12: zwölf, 13: dreizehn, 14: vierzehn & so on)… The -teen for 1x in english is also a carryover from this, being threeten, fourten, fiveten etc. with only numbers over 20 having their orders reversed - German has something similar with “und” only appearing in numbers over 20. English did historically too, eg. “four and twenty blackbirds”.

Base 20 was historically used for large numbers though, eg “four score and seven years” by Abraham Lincoln, which was a poetic way of saying 87 inspired from Psalms 90:10, which says “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” in the King James Version, which reflects that using base 20 for large numbers (and not just 80) was not uncommon in the 17th century.

Gemini and Copilot are often overly cautious with their guardrails on generating anything violent or misinformation, although super easy to bypass in most cases
