I hear the argument being made that companies shouldn't be allowed to run a nuclear power plant, or any infrastructure for that matter.

The electoral college nullifies a huge portion of votes so I really doubt you have a grasp on politics that would even surpass a high schooler

How do I vote trump out in a state that WILL go to him? Does me vote matter in that situation? Should I just lie down and take being banned from the public sphere? You act like violence isn't already being committed by the right and ignored by ineffectual liberals like you who think that being polite is important when lives are at stake.

These people deserve justice for the harm they've caused, and the justice system will not bring it to those in such powerful positions. I merely am positing that justice will only be wrought by our own hands. The fact that is only possible through their deaths isn't my fault, nor does it concern me in the slightest if these mindless ghouls get hurt. If you make change impossible, you make your death inevitable.

And if my vote did matter, Biden has done nothing to improve my life and the lives of people like me but to allow us to serve in the imperialist death machine that is the military. That is disgusting. Everything I wanted from him, abortion and the border have been dismantled in the same way I expected Trump to, and actually resulted in MORE migrant children being caged. Neoliberalism will kill both me and this planet before I reach 50, and you're acting like some stupid fucking voting will prevent people with guns from doing what you're shaming leftists for advocating. It should worry you that Biden has so thoroughly failed so many people that they prefer a violent and tumultuous revolution to your dystopian hellscape future you call "progress".

Will you be mad if I use both? I like using my hand for cleaning so I can really feel the surface while I do it

I hate sponges but the daddy is nice cuz I just put it in the dish when Im done and it doesn't seem to pick up a smell, also way more durable and allows you to scrub harder than a lot of brushes I've used

I promise I'm not saying this to be daddy's escort lol

Gotcha gotcha

Thanks for the clarification

The FBI demonstrated during the San Bernardino shooting investigation that Apple must purposefully put backdoors in their devices, as the FBI was able to independently crack the phone, which isn't possible without a backdoor or a security flaw so poor that a third-world hacker could access it with some level of effort or knowledge.

Do not trust Apple with your privacy, even less so than Google. At least Google will allow you to see everything they've collected on you and prevent random bad actors from accessing your data, which is something we can't be sure of with apple. This isn't about which is the more moral company, it's about which is more dangerous to the consumer. Complete lack of control over your computing environment will only make sense in cases where you're expected to have a complete lack of knowledge of computers and someone else does the thinking and manages your device.

I can legally destroy my own private property thank you very much

So instead of changing the laws you would rather...just let it happen? Alternatively, you don't have to obey the law. Enamel paint is very cheap and easy to apply to lenses. I think breaking the machines would curb their use, no?

Okay, but in that situation we don't say that the market has punished that business. They should be hurt worse than they could any other way, so there isn't a possibility that they profit in net, or have a loss equivalent with legitimate business practices. Otherwise, there is no real deterrent to the behavior.

Unfortunately a guy I know works for a gov hospital and they've used such technology for over a decade at this point. It seems unavoidable.

The training data here is exaggerated more, actually. This task should take kilobytes, max, and would finish in a fraction of a second. Also, no self-respecting ML engineer would put together an ML system without accounting for every data type.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah I don't really get this, you can come to deterministic mathematic conclusions with ML, it just requires different structuring of the problem. While area of a rectangle may not need optimization, there are many such places that do, like file compression, which requires perfectly accurate results.
