A false positive rate of 10% _among the population of people you arrest_ is acceptable.

I highly disagree. I can understand if Flock's data provided a 10% false positive rate, it's then up the police to do their actual job and gather other evidence to reduce that to near zero before taking any action on that data.

A 10% false arrest rate is criminal. Arrests stick with people even when their is no conviction. Maybe 1 false arrest in 1000 is acceptable in a civilized country without corruption.

I hate when someone gets away with a serious crime, but I'm not going to balance that by lowering the bar for arresting someone.

Trump loves AI, he wants to promote it.

During every speech he gives, every time he makes a statement as a fact, let's have multiple AI "entities" do a real-time fact check.

What better way to show how great it is than to have it provide feedback on everything he says.

You keep resulting the same nonsense.

Yes, pilots need flight hours. Navigating a slow speed, low flyover of a stadium does technically give them more time in the seat but in no way provides valid combat style training. Next you'll tell me that marching in lines to the best of a drum will keep our army battle ready. .

Flyovers are cool in the moment but quickly fade away as soon as the planes are out of sight. Only someone who lacks sanity thinks increased flyover will have a lasting impact on morale.

If you want to watch more flyovers, attend some Mets home games. Plenty of lore flying planes there thanks to LGA

I'm old enough to remember the ground covered in snow all winter. I also remember A/C being a luxury, not necessity in the summer. Yeah it still got hot and uncomfortable but it at least cooled down at night. Now they cancel school because the older buildings without A/C routinely hit 100F in the afternoon.
