Comment $49 for 80/20 (Score 1) 157

My $49 security cameras do object segmentation well enough to eliminate those two-minute red lights with noone else around except for the autistic cop hiding in the bushes.

That technology is good enough to optimize lights with 80% of the benefit and will continue to improve, getting times down (e.g. traffic wave approaching light about to turn yellow).

The last 20% needs realtime tracking and remote shutdown of all vehicles - which is the true goal of many technocrats.

Be on guard.

MOND is a class of hypotheses.

This article is motivated reasoning committing unforgivable composition error.

What a scientist does is test each hypothesis separately and see how theory and data correlate.

What a propagandist looking for funding does is throw out the scientific method to favor his friends.

One MOND hypothesis being ruled out is /progress/.

Since Supersymmetric approaches are obviously not bearing fruit, all options should be on the table.

Even 'stretchy entanglement', non-Mach event horizons, and other odd non-DM, non-MOND hypothesis.

Dishonest tribal people should be excluded from science funding.

Think it'll be a scapegoat?

It seems so unlikely that 'a misconfiguration' could be the cause and somewhat likely that a rogue/malicious/fooled employee did this, so we should assume a preponderance of odds until evidence is provided to the contrary.

At least they didn't get the Whole Parler treatment.

Does Bumble have a filter for girls who can't keep their hands off you but when they don't get enough attention subsequently get 'feelings of regret' and then call the police to ex-post facto withdraw their consent?

It wouldn't even be a problem except the Judiciary is stacked with corrupt activist judges who won't dismiss the complaint with prejudice and award attorneys fees in the first six minutes.

Combine that with monkey-branching leavers who look for adventure after the kids are born (and weaponize the corrupt judiciary to indenture the man) and it's easy to see why the fertility rates are way down and escort services are way up.

AI won't fix this - unless somehow it replaces corrupt judges .

And even though millions of men are violated this way, I normally encounter people like me who haven't seen it personally so they dismiss the concerns.

Rome saw very similar corruption which led to total societal collapse.
