The point of bring all this up isn't to expect the trump admin to do anything, it's an expectation of a (hopefully) future democrat admin to change forces and stop framing the ICE problem as a training or lack of body…
For sure, my point is that there's no way you can slice this as being justifiable. Even if you are pro surveillance and anti-leftist. ICE shouldn't be doing this, it's the job of the FBI.
At least you know I'm not using AI for my comments :)
Spying on political enemies and arresting citizens? That's completely outside of their statutory powers.
ICE is rouge agency. They need to be disbanded. Fine if we still have an agency doing ICE work or whatever, but every single person employed by ICE needs to be fired, potentially prosecuted, definitely black listed from…
Let's put aside whether or not surveillance is necessary. The very big problem I have here is that ICE is not the agency that should be doing this sort of surveillance. Their role is immigration control, not leftist or…
Rulings are interpretations of the law. 2 parties bring up what they believe is the legal justification for their position in dispute and a judge rules on which is the correct position. If a party thinks the judge got…
There are also several exceptions to the hearsay rule.
Because it's very hard to stop accidental or incidental information leaks. For an opinion to be rendered, generally they also attach the case facts which lead to that ruling. Heavy redaction means it becomes almost…
This is basically it. Imagine, for example, a case is about someone disclosing the location of nuclear arms to their spouse. Maybe even accidentally. If they are brought up on charges about this, national security…
Commenters on HN are not the same thing as companies launched through ycombinator.
Law and Order lied to us. Courts run on circumstantial evidence. A lot of cases turn on it. For criminal law, prosecutors have to prove beyond reasonable doubt. If they have a gun, search history for "how to kill…

Yeah, still illegal, but because they are new they have to work their way up through the courts to be affirmed as illegal once again. These cameras need to be banned federally. It shouldn't be legal to own or sell…
So, I'd grant that it'd probably be a JEP for java (the initial JIT) but not that every change to the JIT would result in a new JEP. Java's JIT, hotspot, was integrated right before they started the JEP process. The JEP…
You can find those JEPs, but frankly they are there for 1 of 2 reasons. 1. An outsider to the regular OpenJDK dev team proposing an optimization. 2. Advertising for a cool new performance tweak with potentially large…

I think this is a major issue with requiring a PEP for what's a performance optimization. JITs are big nasty things that by their nature have to do a lot of things. You are basically saying "Give us a PEP for a new…
Nope. Big oil has spent big money on propaganda for a VERY long time. Something that almost all right wing pundits and podcasters are funded by. For the right to actually embrace solar, you need either big money in…
Exactly. The majority of jobs from the earlier computing era were doing mindless menial work like fixing the Y2K bug in 1000 COBOL systems doing boring stuff like accounting software.
Eh, there was a ton of frivolous work being done. That has long been the majority of jobs in the computer world. For example, you could have been dealing with COBOL banking software. Or order management software. Or…
Which is nuts because one thing LLMs are actually pretty good up is generating "traditional ml" harnesses. You just have to describe the problem you are trying to solve and ask the LLM for algorithm suggestions. It's…

Logging is one of the most efficient forms of carbon capture that we currently have. Felling trees is exactly how we keep climates cooler. Without felling, forests do a pretty poor job at carbon capture, trees that die…
