A comment that says "I know not the first thing about how machine learning works but I want to make an indignant statement about it anyway."

Sounds more like a win-lin result to me.

Specifically too it's very easy to steal in bulk. Sure scamming grandma and grandpa out of their life savings has way fewer safeguards with crypto than with fiat currency, but it's absolutely still possible without crypto and happens all the time. This is the monetary equivalent of stealing nearly 16,000 kg of gold – something unthinkable with fiat currency.

Also of note:

  • No drugs were found.
  • It's so dangerous because if drugs are there and a bag tears, an OD can be rapid and fatal. Harris additionally objected to the search, and thus it would've been unethical unto itself.
  • Harris had a history of drug violations, but the cops' only "evidence" something was wrong was 1) the SUV pulled up to a house they were staking out (what they presumed to be a drug house), 2) they claimed they saw a "white item at the entrance of his anus", 3) an officer purported to feel drugs near Harris' groin, and 4) a CT scan showed an object in the bowels but could not determine if it was foreign (again, Harris had no drugs).
  • You absolutely do not have to perform a cavity search; you can just wait for the object to come out naturally through a bowel movement.
  • Harris was seemingly held for two days (detained August 10, president of the hospital allegedly threatened the police chief to comply the night of August 12, Harris "shortly after" was issued a court summons and released).
  • Harris was charged with obstruction and tampering and is awaiting trial even though no drugs were ever found.

ACAB.

Who do I vote for if I want paragraph breaks?

That map is some real dataisugly shit. So many problems. The key is:

  • Historical (light red); Current (Red); Active and Passed (dark red); Passed (Black)

Problem 1) "Historical" is such a weird way to presumably mean "previously introduced and failed". It's both weird unto itself and because the other way of reading it would be that "this state historically used to have RtR but not anymore".

Problem 2) The decrease in brightness seems to indicate a trend toward "betterness", even though a light red to black scale almost always connotes something bad (e.g. a deadly virus).

Problem 3) The same decrease in brightness is problematic because it doesn't even follow itself: "Active and Passed" is lighter than just "Passed", even though "Active and Passed" is clearly stronger than just "Passed".

Problem 4) You don't need to call it "Active and Passed". If it's active, then no fucking shit it's passed. One legend item has three words instead of one for just no reason.

Problem 5) The "Active and Passed" jurisdictions have white diagonal lines despite the key not having these. Presumably this is to contrast it with the color of "Current", but like, you chose this color scheme??

Problem 6) The legend (from brightest to least bright) goes 3, 2, 1, 4. This is because for some reason, they decided to place the legend items in alphabetical order.

Too bad Datawrapper isn't FOSS so you'd have the right to repair whatever it did to this poor data.

The Lisa and Claudette scene is 45 days long. Scenes 1, 2, and 3 (Johnny walking into the house, Johnny and Lisa in bed, and Johnny getting out of bed, respectively) totaled to 44 days. So you're correct, and we still have 5 days to go.

Day 81 was the same line just without the "Well," in front of it.

Oh okay, everything about you (from the propagandistic posting patterns to running heavy defense of Monk who you should know nothing about as < 2-week-old accounts to your long, copy-pasted, Gish galloping comments to the abject nonsense you spew to your general writing style) tells me you and barrygoldwater are just ban evasion alts of Monk. In that case, piss off.

How did you see "MUCH worse now than back then" when your account is 11 days old? Riddle me that.

Competence like trusting a Moscow-headquartered company that's helped Russia develop spy drones for its illegal invasion of Ukraine to scan your government's systems with its proprietary, frequently updated AV? By that definition, sure, this decision was "incompetent".

LLMs in general don't "interpret" anything; I don't get how or why people think this.

No, no, you're misunderstanding: every single number you see in Philip's comment was 1) a post and 2) in /c/politics. You can go look for yourself as I suggested. For instance, when Philip's comment says "2024-10-19: 6" that means (and you can go verify using the means I described on desktop) that Monk posted 6 times to /c/politics that day. That excludes comments.
