“Killing” is doing a LOT of work here for “death in custody” when you consider that the death rate in ICE custody is significantly lower than both the death rate in US prisons wher…

If your glib comment is referring to me as a techbro and doing the annoying worst thing, then maybe you should explain how I am comfortably abusing the goalpost fallacy given the e…

Moreover anyone glomming onto this paper for goal-post-shifting “AI can never” should: 1. Read the last sentence of the abstract, and 2. Reflect that frontier reasoning agents alre…

Funding cuts at NIST did not lead directly to this. You must be new here or haven’t spent a lot of time directly interfaced with NIST on cybersecurity in decades past. And NIST’s r…

The first real example it opens with, is a criminal. For the rest of ICE detainees, don’t care. Again, we have 10s of millions of backlog of illegal entries, overstays, visa violat…

Teens want summer jobs again and you act like they’re sending 8 year olds back to the coal breakers.

That’s a huge reason for electronic search but it can also be for evidence related to any other customs violation such as drugs or other contraband.

“Right to work” is in the context of criminal wage theft laws, OSHA, EPA, Black Lung Benefits Act, Federal Employees Compensation Act, minimum wage (not that this affects mine work…

That $500K over three years represents 0.08% of the foundation’s budget in that time period. The question is, what are they spending the other 99.92%? There is a significant small …

You both have it mostly backwards. The Taft-Hartley act mostly bans closed shops and allows states to pass “right to work” laws making payment of any agency fees to unions optional…

Among other things that CBP does not need a warrant to search or seize anything and everything at a border. Everything is subject to search at the border. To make a seizure all tha…

Complete memory safety (much less concurrent garbage collection) isn’t really workable for things like kernel and some embedded programming contexts. Rust can work in those context…

But AI algorithms actually deployed by other cloud services do not. You’d hope that they wouldn’t flag a baptism or bris photo but currently fielded systems are flagging doctor-pat…

That and being 175 feet below the surface. You’re not getting “sunscreen” on mesophotic coral.

Yet, they didn’t. And for those commenting about risk from tourism, this is mesophotic coral at 175 feet. It’s out of range of recreational scuba much less shallow-reef snorkelers.…

It’s not that deep. The model was prompted to mine for humor in a mundane dataset and it dutifully did its best to find something chuckleworthy. It got OP to laugh out loud for som…

Different experience at small town independent grocers that greet their regular customers by name and are summoned with a bell.

ISO 26262 does have serious lifecycle standards but again it’s a voluntary industry standard that has no government oversight or regulatory authority. Oversight is typically largel…

The real cost is manufacturing with all the different options at different trim levels (combined with different paint jobs etc). Automakers have always made bank on options and tri…

Lewis Black’s shtick is tired and old and yet he manages to put a lot more humor and wit into his rants than anything in this article. It’s essentially “My car’s infotainment syste…

I have first-hand experience unlike your third-hand anecdotes. AUTOSAR is a private industry consortium that develops specifications. They are voluntary and self-attested and don’t…

That’s true, however a properly engineered safety-critical system provides separation between assurance levels, so you don’t need to have the same level of assurance for the infota…

His good points here are undermined by the profane, emotional high-cortisol crashout. There’s a place for well-written, witty diatribes and polemics, but throwing F-bombs and F-you…
