US: 66% (Wall Street's numbers aren't those found in official statistics)
UK: 28.9%
Holland: 23%
Norway: 16%
China: 6%
US' conclusion: The rate is a complete mystery, we've no idea how to decrease it, let's do more of what we're currently doing differently to everyone else.
There is a slight possibility this may be flawed.
Some professional printers do have their spools in cartridges, and refuse to work without them...
5 axis printers using non-planar slicing are becoming more common in pro use, they allow you to print things without supports which would have required supports.
managing hundreds of machines with basic tools is a chore. I also believe that that argument for systemd was, vm users don't need to control their own environments
systemd might make sense for ephemeral VMs. That doesn't justify it for long-running servers or desktops.
Every silly error you see in automatic captions that is obvious nonsense can be caught by an LLM.
Every silly error I see in automatic captions today is on Youtube and was created by an LLM. Why didn't it catch them?
There are some people who just can't be rehabilitated.
No that is too strong a claim. The best you can say is, "There are people we don't know how to rehabilitate."
Our understanding of the brain and psychology is so weak that over the next century or so, our knowledge is going to increase dramatically. Not long ago, people were seriously doing lobotomies (there's an argument to be made that we are still doing it today, but with chemicals. Certainly our understanding and treatment of ADHD will improve dramatically in the future, and what we do now will seem archaic if not barbaric).
I didn't find them to be so. The primary advantage claimed was that it eliminated init scripts. But init scripts are really easy on modern Linux because of the boilerplate, and there are still cases where you need scripts with systemd, so it didn't actually eliminate them — It only reduced their number. The other advantage claimed was that it implemented cgroups. Well, I'm using Devuan and that uses cgroups too, they are created and managed and destroyed with simple commands and you do not need any special tools for that at all.
systemd solves a non-problem, since scripts are a core OS feature.
If you have a better, safer alternative for us to develop this much needed tech, please share.
Closed environments and simulations. Simulations are better in particular because you can create test situations trivially, so you can test on e.g. a thousand variations of the same onramp. You can't really build the vision models in simulation, but that's OK, because you can build them by logging data from cars where the computer isn't controlling anything and therefore isn't endangering anyone.
This isn't new, though, this is obvious. You just want to move fast and break things.
And don't they all use systemd? They must have a good reason for it.
Weren't you here when we discussed this when Debian adopted systemd? The change was rammed through without the normal discussion procedure, specifically for the purpose of supporting GNOME at a time when nobody gave a fuck about it any more. The idea that they have to have had a good reason because they did it is not logic-based.
It makes as much sense as a way of operating as cutting off body parts and seeing if you can live without them.
Did they also realize they need a union
Unions for tech so we have a political voice to modulate technology in favor of humanity is probably one of the most important functions() a technology union could have.
reducing government corruption
Reducing any corruption, for it is the anathema of civilization. I wonder how many pro-freedom initiatives could be had if we all weren't so Pwned.
America's state prison systems need ways "to keep people from returning to prison,"
A noble and excellent goal. 90% of Americans can support this (the others are profiting from it).
bring together prisoner data from its disparate sources into digital dashboards. From there, corrections staff can see information — such as court records and notes from parole-board hearings — about a prisoner or parolee all in one place.
Ok, sounds like a great thing for computers to do. If they can get AI to help, then great. (Note: the AI isn't going to open manila folders).
The company says its efforts are working: Recidivism has fallen 16% in the prison population its systems track. It is the result of "just streamlining these workflows and knitting someone's journey together end to end,
Sounds like they are not releasing people with a high risk of recidivism. In other words, they haven't fixed the problem of recidivism, they've just kept people in jail longer.
