The time change induces stress and literally kills people. Not changing time might make northerners depressed from lack of morning light...

You know what? We have artificial lighting and spend most of our time indoors anyway. Encourage broad spectrum home and office lighting and use UTC with a fixed local longitudinal adjustment.

Not surprising to find someone 'brave' enough to downvote that. What a hero for the white power cause!

Rather than a threat I'd say it moreso would fall under "conspiracy to commit murder".

Discussing plans to commit a crime is a crime (eg, conspiracy).

Now, I'd wager she didn't really intend to go through with this, and in the end there's a good chance the charges get dropped, but seriously - don't be talking about shit like that. I can't even see where someone would joke, vent, or otherwise say - even in private - that they plan on committing a mass murder.

"That police department is a bunch of assholes!" - sure I get that. I might say that. I might say they're crooked, lazy, incompetent, or any other set of negative adjectives, but talking about killing people is not a good way to be venting.

And what a horrible piece of Lost Cause propaganda that movie is. It doesn't say much that's good about the people who made it, who bought tickets, or who continue to hold it up as an example of a 'great classic' even today.

Probably put her in solitary because she kept insisting she was innocent.

I was not disappointed, but neither was I impressed.

They did a competent job of trotting out the nostalgia bits. I would even go so far as to say they did a better job of mixing cartoon physics with the real world than Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Space Jam. It felt like a real world movie with toons in it rather than a cartoon with real people in it.

Having said that, I had nobody to root for so it didn't engage me. The story did a poor job of making me care.

It happened when you got old and apparently didn't notice.

BTDT.

I guess it's time to RTFA, because I have only the vaguest notion of how you might do that, and zero idea how you could get anything like a tolerable framerate.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't believe SQL includes client data rendering. At least not any SQL implementation I've ever worked with. There's always a client that has to interpret SQL data and convert it into a rendered frame as well as send user input back to SQL as a query.

That would seem to be enough of a limitation to 'Doom on SQL' to make the total project... doomed from the start. It remains an interesting exercise in getting SQL to do the rest of it. As long as the code to do so is elegant, it doesn't really matter how Rube Goldberg it gets.

In fact, I might even be more impressed as the SQL gets more convoluted.

> Conversing with just the Ai-generated audio, "At best, they feel like talking to a phone representative or someone from tech support."

Instead of that being complimentary to the quality of the AI-driven speech, it's insulting to human phone support workers. I guess we're subhuman.

No, they're already training it with its own dogfood. They don't need contractors for that, because they can do that themselves. They're just also paying people to add human data.

People seem to only have memory that goes back two years.

We went to war with Iraq due to faulty intel. No AI was involved at all, at least not in the modern sense of the term. Just a human expert hallucinating a bioweapons lab from a blurry photo.

Russia almost nuked us due to a faulty machine sending a false positive about a nuclear attack. Definitely not AI.

OpenAI's failures prove that the corporations are the only ones that can be trusted!

Whose bright idea was it to store nuclear waste right next to an ocean coastline?

As I said... not acceptable, but not necessarily nefarious.

I'm all for an arms-length agency that controls police data and equipment so there's no opportunity for people within an agency to cover each other's asses.

I think when you put on a badge and assume the authority it grants over others, you should be held to a much higher standard. This does not seem to be a common enough belief to actual have such standards implemented.
