We do fund the police properly. Unfortunately they waste that money on military gear rather than training or hiring better smarter people.

Cops are a low paid profession, it'll attract stupid people. There are systems and checks in place that often result in these issues being minor, like how the person got their car back in 4 days.

Now the question about the idiots who fucked up towing a car on the other hand...

Anytime you have to say "probably" instead of having evidence it's already proof that someone incompetent fucked up. Last time I had my car towed the tow company actually inspected the connection point to make sure it was solid and there wasn't rust. 2 seconds with a mirror.

Your claim doesn't exonerate the towing company, if anything it makes them more culpable.

YES! True. This makes it even worse.

Who started what? Damaging the car? The towing company. I don't understand why you are analysing this entire situation to an inconsistent root. There should be a minimum expectation that even if the police were correct in impounding the car that you get your car back in one piece at the end.

The police aren't the root cause of this problem, as with normal competent towing company the car would have been returned in one piece 4 days later regardless of what the police did. Please don't use words you don't understand. And yes I am a trained RCFA facilitator and you fucked the process up most grandiosely just now.

No that is society, society isn't countered by a couple of individuals.

None of which has anything to do with productivity. There's simply things you cannot do in the morning that you can do in the evening due to a combination of things such as business hours, ability to control the duration of a task, the ability to do a limited duration task, and the ability to function after the task (e.g. no one is getting up at 6am to drink a beer with friends in the sun before work).

There's a long list of tasks that are only achievable after work, and that makes that a more productive part of the day on a societal scale, even if your friend does have a membership to a 24h gym.

What top end catalogue? You have posted nothing other than usual ad hominem bullshit, as usual. You didn't demonstrate anything, didn't link to anything, didn't make a counterpoint to the example I provided. But please show us what Porsche competes with Maybach on luxury beyond just showing it has leather seats. I'll wait.

Okay someone call this guy an ambulance. He can't even make a grammatically correct insult anymore. He at least used to know what those words meant.

I'm sorry pointing out your stupidity makes you believe that this is in anyway an example of ceding authority to anyone. But really your comment here just shows how you fail to understand even the most basic of English. The only harm being done anywhere here is your ego, and it seems to have been hit so fatally that you can't form a coherent thought right now. Calm down, have a beer, and try again. Try anything again. At this point I'm not even expecting a good argument from you, just a better attempt at an insult would do.

Wait seriously? Is this now how America is?

Our neighbourhood in Europe is all in. We get a poster in the mail a month in advance asking us to hang it in our window from a certain day. Someone comes around and looks, and a map of knockable houses gets published. Don't want to be part of it, you won't be impacted in the slightest. The kids run around looking for the houses with signs and ignore the rest.

Beyond the Flock headline, and the police not thinking properly, the biggest problem seems to be the towing company. Police at least have human judgement to fault, but the towing company... that's your job. How do you not know how to tow a car without totalling it? No judgement, no thought, no database error, just sheer and utter incompetence doing the one thing you are supposed to be good at doing.

Sitting in a system designed from the ground up for money laundering. It boggles my mind that we have that much crime happening in the open but then again orange pedophile was President so here we are...

Just go on the internet and lie?

Seriously, of course the Amish don't go around telling people how they actually run their communities. And yeah individual Amish people are sincere and kind and fine. But they have a ruling class just like everybody else has a ruling class. And that ruling class uses religion and cult tactics to maintain their control and power and wealth and abuse people.

You've got Google you can look into this it's not hard. Amish communities are not poor. Individual Amish people are not doing great. Because again like everything else in this world the money gets funneled up to the top.

Just because you don't like the way the world actually is doesn't mean the world isn't actually that way. It doesn't have to be but when guys like you turn away from reality to pretend in an Amish Paradise then the abuse goes ignored and the abusers can continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

Then odds are your manuals are written by folks in India who don't speak English very well. One of the first things that got offshore was technical writers. So the quality of most enterprise software manuals has been shit since about 2005.

Typically the information will be there but it will be buried deep deep in the innards of the manual. Rather than spend several hours pouring through what is less a manual and more a reference guide stack overflow and Google was a good place to find answers and a chatbot can usually find them just as well or better since stack overflow has lost so many users and Google has been complete shit for some time.

He did go away. He's at his own company now developing non-core products that you're free to ignore. Seriously man, show us on the doll where he touched you.

Have you gone back and applied it to all your old code bases? I mean I'm sure you as a coder probably are way ahead in the LLM game compared to script kiddies, but are you using it everywhere? Do you even have the time to do so? I suspect you probably have better things to do than to convert your life to an endless bugfixer.

The reality is it doesn't matter how good our tools are if we don't apply them.

AI is technically accurate. ML is literally the core component of the 1955 conjecture that defined AI. LLMs are a display of intelligence as a result of ML, also directly part of the original conjecture.

You thinking it is something different is your problem, not a problem with the term AI.
