But no, we must bidding war gouge.
On top of that, X Y and Z services exist in America, but not in other countries, so in this other country, everything is on Netflix, while I had to jump between three different services at one point just to watch Stargate
Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”
I can’t imagine that there weren’t plenty of people there who share that perception.
I myself also would be very nervous around someone being armed like that in public. But I don’t live in an open carry state, either, so it would be very out of place for me, as well.
That said, you don’t have to imagine. Just look at the facts of the matter:
He was obviously and visibly armed from the moment he showed up
There was no freakout over his arrival, nor over the extended period of time he was walking around doing things, obviously and visibly armed the entire time. There is plenty of video of him there while armed, and it’s clear he is not drawing any more attention than the average person in any of the footage up to the point where Rosenbaum put himself and Rittenhouse at the center of attention with his mad raving.
Given those facts, it is clear that Rittenhouse was not armed to an extent that those around him found more than mundane.
What it really comes down to (again, in my mind) is that his decision to go there, into the middle of what was already basically a powder keg, carrying an AR-15 was, at the very least, incredibly poor judgement. Even if 90% of protesters saw him as helpful, all it’d take is one who didn’t to cause a problem.
There were people at these protests (speaking nationwide, I can’t speak to the one in Kenosha specifically) who were there just to cause trouble - looting, vandalizing, trying to paint the peaceful protesters in a poor light.
Generally speaking, if someone goes to a dangerous place to try and improve the situation there to the best of their ability, despite the potential risks to their own safety, one would consider that courageous and admirable, not foolish. I’d say it’s very arguable that only pre-existing bias is preventing Rittenhouse from being perceived similarly, given that every single action he’s known to have taken in Kenosha that day was either morally neutral (I consider defending your life to be human nature, and not a moral or immoral act), or morally good (cleaning graffiti, extinguishing fires, handing out water bottles on request, giving basic medical aid to the extent he could from his lifeguard training).
Being as objective as possible, and going by the facts, what can one realistically argue that he did that was immoral on that day? This is a genuine question–I can’t find a single actual act that merits criticism, and I’ve found consistently that everyone criticizing his actions either straight-up gets facts about what he literally did incorrect, and bases their conclusion on that, or colors his decision to be there as malicious in and of itself (though, again, though obviously we can’t read his mind that day, the actions he took that day simply do not support that assumed malicious intent at all, quite the contrary in fact).
But that’s not even all of it–his most ardent supporters on the extreme right are getting it wrong ALSO, and do ridiculous things like claiming his shooting of people we later discovered were actually pretty shitty people was itself a morally good act, and completely ignore the things he did that day that actually WERE objectively morally good (graffiti cleaning et al, as mentioned above). This is ridiculous, and focusing completely in the wrong place–he didn’t ‘do the right thing’ by shooting people, he protected his life against a few crazy and violent individuals, and that’s obviously neither ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
Although I will say, that one video did demonstrate that Rittenhouse’s trigger discipline is admirable (immediately after shooting Grosskreutz, his finger was off the trigger and around the guard, as he carefully got back up to his feet, and overall, he didn’t fire a single shot that struck anyone other than his intended target, no spray and pray, no wild shots, he used his weapon to the absolute minimal extent necessary to neutralize each of the people who tried to kill him)–if every cop’s in the US was as good as his, we’d probably have a lot fewer police scandals in this country.
the point I was trying to get at is that he doesn’t live there; it’s not like this was happening in his town.
But again, he had family and friends there–while he may not have lived there, I’d say it’s very fair to categorize Kenosha as part of ‘his community’, considering how many ties he has to it, and how he regularly spent time there.
It’s relevant (to me) because he holds views (and did before the protest, as far as I recall) that put him at odds with a lot of the protesters there.
I don’t really find that relevant though. Suppose we knew for a fact that he was a straight-up racist and/or adherent to all sorts of extreme right-wing political views. Let’s say he was literally the far-right stereotype.
The facts of the matter are still what they are–he took not a single action in Kenosha could be fairly/objectively described as an expression of such views–he did nothing that you could look at and say ‘oh, it’s because of view far-right political stance X that he decided to do this action Y’. He’s on video at one point saying he was there "to protect this business, and part of my job is there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way.”
Hypothetically, if someone goes their whole life hating a certain race of people, but throughout their life, never actually mistreats anyone of that race, then the end result, as far as real-world consequences, is the same as if that person did not have those views.
Frankly, I don’t really care what his views are. I care about what he did.
he didn’t, and doesn’t (based on his behavior after the fact) seem particularly remorseful for what happened there.
I don’t think he should feel remorse. Remorse is for having done things wrong. I don’t think he could have handled the situations Rosenbaum et al put him in any better than he did. I literally can’t think of a course of action from the moment Rosenbaum began to charge at him that’s different from what he did, and also inarguably better/smarter.
But regret? He clearly regrets that things went down the way they did. The crying he did as he relived those events during the trial, that left-wing ideologues love to mock him for, and callously claim are crocodile tears, instead of a 17 year-old coming to grips with the kind of day’s events that would traumatize ANYONE for life, are a clear show of that. Frankly, just talking about this particular bit makes me feel disgusted all over again, at all of the things I saw and read around that time, on Reddit. People who pretend to be champions for mental health instantly abandon their supposed virtues because they’ve dehumanized Rittenhouse to such an extreme degree that they can’t even fathom that he is a normal human being who just might be traumatized by having to look death in the face not once, but THREE times in a day. It’s sickening…but I digress.
Now, after the fact, he has on at least one occasion I know of, poked fun at himself with that same infamous image of him weeping. But humor is a common coping mechanism, especially for young males in this country, who are scarcely allowed to deal with trauma in any other way without being criticized for it (see above). I would not look at things like that and conclude ‘oh, he actually just didn’t give a shit’ or anything like that. We also don’t know what things are like for him when he’s not in public view. Hell, he likely still has nightmares about that day…
The basic facts of the case were pretty widely misrepresented, by news outlets, never mind keyboard warriors on Twitter and Reddit;
That’s for sure–even post-verdict I saw Redditors claiming “Rittenhouse’s victims” were all black, and that it was a racially-motivated crime.
I don’t think it’s surprising at all that everyone’s perception of the details differ so greatly.
Maybe not surprising, but it’s all the more reason that it’s important to push back against misinformation, especially when it’s ideologically-driven. It deserves nothing less than relentless calling out, in my opinion.
I genuinely appreciate that you’ve actually been reading what I’m writing–much better than “fuck off fascist loser” and the like, which you will find in this thread, not too far from this comment chain.
The ACLU made a statement basically condemning him post-verdict, for one, and that was pretty widely reported on.
I haven’t read this statement, I’m going to look it up real quick and quote bits I find ‘interesting’:
Kyle Rittenhouse’s conscious decision to take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police <-- Oh, there’s a lie in the very first sentence, lol. At the very least, it’s confirmed that Rosenbaum was NOT protesting. He’d just been released that very day from a hospital after a suicide attempt, went to his 'girlfriend’s house, where he was turned away due to a restraining order against him (yeah…), and basically ended up in the mix in Kenosha by apparent coincidence. Witness testimony described him as “extremely aggressive”–one quick example before moving on.
Kyle Rittenhouse was a juvenile who traveled across state lines on a vigilante mission, was allowed by police to roam the streets of Kenosha with an assault rifle and ended up shooting three people and killing two. These are the simple, tragic facts. <-- Holy shit, lol. “Vigilante mission” is pure assumption, not a fact, the police allowed EVERYONE to “roam the streets”, so that’s meaningless to point out, and “ended up shooting three people and killing two” is technically a fact, but is a MASSIVE lie of omission to just say he “ended up” doing that, it completely ignores all of the other relevant events before, during, and after. The ACLU clearly had a narrative they went to great lengths to push, and were more than happy to ignore any inconvenient truth that might get in the way of that narrative.
I wish they’d all been more like you. Instead, all of the ones I had until my mid 20s were the kind of people who would tell us the policy was X and we absolutely could not do Y, and the second a customer bitched, suddenly Y was fine and they made us look like liars or idiots.
While some of their language has changed, the sentiment of this latest aggressive movement is just as distressing. It’s time for the games industry to stand up to it
The entire article at this point is just “these women who want to be anonymous claim x and y”, with all other “evidence” gone now. I can make similar claims about IGN and my claims would hold as much water.
A recent study published in Death Studies found that individuals with an anxious attachment style experienced more severe grief after the loss of a companion animal compared to those with an avoidant attachment style, who experienced less grief. This research sheds light on how attachment styles can influence the grieving process for pet owners.
Grieving the loss of a loved one is a profound and often overwhelming experience. People typically report feelings of shock, numbness, disbelief, anger, guilt, loneliness, rumination, anxiety, and depression during this time. Fortunately, for most individuals in peaceful, modern societies, the loss of a close loved one is relatively rare.
However, many people form strong emotional bonds with their pets or companion animals. Unlike human lifespans, the lifespans of most companion animals are much shorter, meaning that pet owners often face the death of their pets multiple times in their own lives. While many will grieve the loss of their animal companions, the intensity of this grief can vary significantly from person to person.
Study author Amy D. Lykins and her colleagues wanted to assess how the attachment style of an individual modified the experience of grief after the death of a companion animal. They hypothesized that grief would lessen over time and that individuals with anxious or avoidant attachment styles would experience more severe grief.
“I’ve loved animals as long as I can remember and I’ve always cared for one or more companion animals. Of course, human lifespans are generally longer than those of our most common companion animals, so you are faced with their deaths with some frequency,” explained Lykins, an associate professor in clinical psychology at the University of New England.
“I lost a beloved companion animal in really tragic circumstances in 2014 and was really affected by it. As a clinical psychologist, I then got interested in what factors predict those long-lasting mental health impacts following companion animal death.
“In 2020, I had a student (Nick Gotsis) who was willing to work on this research with me, and after reviewing the literature, we decided to look at attachment patterns and how people continue to engage with their relationships with their animals post-death (i.e., continuing bonds). We also wanted to expand the literature to investigate animals other than cats and dogs, which is what most of the research had investigated thus far.”
Attachment styles refer to patterns of how individuals form emotional bonds and interact in relationships, influenced by early interactions with caregivers. Avoidant attachment is characterized by a tendency to distance oneself from others and suppress emotions to avoid dependency. Anxious attachment involves a strong desire for closeness and constant reassurance, often leading to fear of abandonment and high levels of anxiety in relationships.
The study involved 432 adults who had lost a companion animal in the past three years. Among the participants, 87% were women, with an average age of 42 years. Sixty percent were in committed romantic relationships. Half of the companion animals were dogs, and 27% were cats. Additionally, 66% of the participants reported that the death of their companion animal was sudden and unexpected.
Participants completed assessments of their attachment to the pet using the Pet Attachment Questionnaire, their continuing bonds with the pet using the Continuing Bonds Inventory, and the severity of their grief using the Pet Bereavement Questionnaire.
The results showed that individuals who still felt a strong bond with their deceased pet tended to experience more severe grief. Conversely, those who had lost their pet a longer time ago reported less severe grief. Individuals with an anxious attachment to their pet experienced more severe grief.
“We should recognize that many people feel deeply for the animals they care for, and that losing them can be extremely painful; this is often even more the case for people who have anxious attachment patterns to their animals,” Lykins told PsyPost. “Grief following companion animal loss often falls under the umbrella of ‘disenfranchised grief,’ where the loss doesn’t easily fit into society’s general attitude to what ‘should’ cause grief and therefore isn’t understood or accepted as valid. The exclusion of animal loss to DSM-5-TR’s new diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder should be reassessed.”
“Furthermore, our results suggest that people on the frontline of supporting people who lose a pet (e.g., veterinary staff, mental health professionals) could consider assessing people’s attachment patterns to their animals to ascertain who may be at higher risk of prolonged or severe grief and provide supports to these individuals early.”
Contrary to the researchers’ hypothesis, individuals with an avoidant attachment style reported less severe grief.
“We found the results for attachment avoidance interesting, given some previous research has shown grief severity and attachment avoidance to be positively correlated,” Lykins said. “I think that our results suggest that the negative relationship between these two variables is not likely to indicate delayed grief (as has been suggested by some researchers) given our time since death variable provided a larger span of time than many previous studies and we broke this down into months rather than years, so the variable was more specific.”
The study sheds light on the links between attachment style with a pet and the severity of grief after the pet’s death. However, it also has limitations that need to be taken into account. The participants were predominantly women, and the recruitment method may have favored individuals experiencing higher levels of grief and stronger bonds with their pets. Therefore, the results might differ in studies involving men or individuals less enthusiastic about animals.
“It would be interesting to investigate these relationships among a more diverse sample of genders,” Lykins noted. “Our study is also cross-sectional, so we can’t say anything about X causing Y. It would be good to do longitudinal research on this topic.”
“It would be interesting to see how companion animal attachment relates to animal welfare,” she added. “For instance, do people with anxious attachment make different end-of-life decisions that could potentially prolong suffering rather than electing to euthanize their animals? Or are there other differences in how people interact with their animals while alive that could have repercussions for welfare that are influenced by attachment patterns?”
The paper, “Attachment styles, continuing bonds, and grief following companion animal death,” was authored by Amy D. Lykins, Paul D. McGreevy, Bindi Bennett, Nicola K. Paul, and Nick Gotsis.

So I really want to break the cycle of drifting into hyperfocus, staying there until I'm exhausted to the point of breakdown, sinking into a depressed state, slacking around for hours/days/weeks/months while duties pile up, catching a spark of motivation - and then starting the cycle again.
The New Testament was a new promise that was to change god from his old vengeful ways to his new ways.
We don’t do X anymore. We’re now gonna do Y.
Now, why did “he” die for everybody? He didn’t. Jesus was crucified, theoretically (as there is no actual proof of the event, just people talking about it later and that being deemed “good enough”), for treason.
The story is “this time god sacrificed his child for you” as a “ok we’re even now let’s stop and now I’m a good guy” PR campaign.
I wonder if people will soon realize that that rage they have for scalpers is just directed at the amateurs and that the upper class is full of people doing pretty much the same thing just in less obvious ways.
Your employer (if you work for a private for-profit company) pays you x for your labour and then takes the proceeds of the labour and sells it for y where y is (generally) much higher than x. A business is profitable when the sum of all y is higher than the sum of all x.
If it’s a non-profit, then the difference between y and x must be put back into the business in some way, which could be an investment into an expansion of its scope or it could be a raise for some or all of the workers (payroll is not profit, it’s an expense). And that could mean just the CEO gets a raise, because some of the leeching is via different pay levels for different people that isn’t based on just the difference they are directly making to the income.
Public services can vary. If the service is profitable, then the profit goes into the budget of the government entity(s) that run it, as determined by legislature. So everyone is acting as the middleman there. If it’s not profitable, then it’s covered by taxes, at cost. There’s still varying salaries but it’s subject to government oversight, so things shouldn’t get as unbalanced as they would in the private sector, at least in theory. Though even in the public sector, there’s this assumption that promotions should come with big raises, regardless of how the workload changes, so you can still have people at the top making orders of magnitude more than people at the bottom.
As the title states. I’ve been a software developer for a year now and work for a tiny company, where the salary isn’t amazing. I got paid more at Apple Genius Bar, but it wasn’t as challenging....
I think you’re right about not gaining experience outside of our tech stack right now, as we consult for various clients but the boss / lead is a certified genius (not even being hyperbolic) who has refined our stack so much that a lot is obfuscated away and each new project starts from a clone of the last.
I will say it’s been nice to learn C# .Net, but I honestly don’t understand how the whole applications tie together and I’m just building in our conventions.
I do feel like I can grow more here and really hone the skills in terms of decision making, best practices and such. It’s just overwhelming at times when he says just do X, Y, and Z but in a way that makes sense in his head but I need things breaking down a little more.
I think you’re also right in starting looking now for the next role and even if it takes a while it’s good to hone my interview skills as this is somewhere I really do suck. I’m not really after a massive salary, just something more than I could get if I stayed working the bar at Apple, as I am solving problems.
I should add as well that it is incredibly relaxed and the company has been amazing in making concessions for me in terms of working from home more due to ongoing car issues and the way they support my neurotic nature and will even phrase things in a way as to remove any ambiguity.
A record number of millionaires could leave the United Kingdom this year as political turmoil and the potential for higher taxes under a future Labour government reduce the appeal of what was once among the top destinations for the rich....
“printing” money happens very very often. The US constantly prints money AND increases it’s debt yet the dollar stays strong. You have to remember value of a currency is imaginary, it’s just a contract where we agree X is X and Y is Y.
While yes you can devalue a currency by printing money, you can also increase its value by strengthening the system it’s printed into. If we print money to build and improve, the UK becomes more desirable and therefore it’s currency more valuable despite it’s increased monetary supply.
It’s alot more complicated than Print more worth less. Hell I expected high inflation after COVID due to increased printing, and while inflation did happen, it was not for that reason, it was pure greed.
Hmmh. Why ActivityPub? I mean I suppose it’s alright as a standard for some turn based or slow trading game. But it’s neither very efficient nor suited for realtime. And having long (and descriptive) JSON messages, queues, … is baked in per design.
And it’s not even interesting to a Mastodon user if player x sold y latinum to player z. So for lots of game logic we don’t need messages in a common format that’s federated to Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube etc.
I think a nice and not too complicated coding challenge would be to design a world that spans multiple servers. Players could roam a world, go through some door or portal and the client seamlessly connects to the next server. So that part of the world (the other server instance) is behind that portal. That’d make sense from an in-game perspective and won’t be that hard to implement. Basically it’s just like any other game, just that the client auto-connects to servers with some internal logic and not just in the start menu. And ideally authentication would be federated. The new server could ask the player’s home instance to authenticate them on entering the new instance.
If you ask me? Mobile/WiFi internet… The way and amount of time we use our phones had changed A LOT since their diffusion. I guess the release of the iPhone changed our idea of what a phone is too...
I would say the Internet as well. It has dramatically shaped how we interact with the world and has made a lot of information more accessible.
There are probably better overall answers like farming, the printing press, vaccines, transistors, and fertilizer but I feel like a lot of them are if we didn’t have X we wouldn’t have Y situations.
Because their entire argument thus far has basically been “but we’re a library.” But that completely misses the point that even libraries need to comply with licensing laws. Even with ebooks, they can’t just lend an unlimited number of copies. They have licensing agreements with the publishers, to be able to lend [x] copies of [y] book at a time.
They purchase digital licenses to be able to lend those books, and they can only lend as many licenses as they own. Just like physical books. They need to use time-gated DRM to automatically revoke access whenever the rental time is up.
And at first, that’s exactly what IA did. But they decided to disable that DRM, and just start lending unlimited copies to people instead, which flies in the face of established copyright law.
It was so bad Ever on and on, I continue circling With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can’t break free I’m slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony To tell me who I am, who I was,...
Fine, but I suppose the ethereal intercourse between the greater republic of Ivory Coast and Mechanical Dynamics and Joe Biden aims to develop the new country’s soft power in the west. How does such an intercourse take place considering of Fizeau’s experiment’s result isn’t coherent with the existence of ether?
If instead we were to model soft power as a vector field, would Gauss-Ostrogradsky-Green’s theorem be applicable? And calling P(x,y,z,t) the probability an ivoridynamoo (Ivory Coast and Mechanical Dynamics equivalent of a weaboo) existingin the volume of coordinates X∈ [x,x+dx], Y∈[y,y+dy], Z ∈ [z,z+dz] at a time T∈ [t,t+dt], can we assume the existence of a function Ψ(x,y,z,t) such that |Ψ|² = P , and would such a function respect Schrödinger’s equation?
[Addendum: Obviously I didn’t use AI either, tho that doesn’t mean I wrote the initial post entirely myself. As for the alcohol part, I guess the rotten apple might’ve contained a bit. That and other fruits aside, not a drop in a week.]
This is unhinged. Someone building the mainline of an interoperable communication service should absolutely be helping others making software trying to interoperate with it. Complaints can be made about Rochko rejecting PRs, but complaining that other people’s time is going towards a thing they don’t want is insane.
“So they reached out to us and we had conversations about what they want to do, how they can do it, and we had more detailed conversations about how to do X, how to do Y protocol-wise. We helped them resolve some issues when they launched their first test of the federation because we want to see them succeed with this plan, so we help them debug and troubleshoot some of the stuff that they’re doing. Basically, we’re talking with each other about whatever issues come up.”
But from the perspective of hundreds of instances have signed the anti-Meta FediPact, and hundreds more are blocking Threads without signing the pact, any resources devoted to to improving the Threads/Mastodon integration are wasted.
I don’t have spare peripherals like a monitor and a keyboard. How do you suggest I do a bare-metal install of Debian on a computer (meant to be a server)?
Definitely agree for a single install. If OP has a bunch of these installs to do, then editing an install USB to configure networking and enable sshd might be worth the effort. Do the install over ssh and hope the machine starts up as desired, but even then, if it doesn’t just magically appear on the network, he’s going to need a monitor to see where the startup failed.
Raspberry Pi’s disk imager will let you pre-configure networking, accounts, and ssh, so you just write the image to an SD card, plug it in, and go. That’s a great solutions for systems usually meant to be headless and removable media. If OP’s client hardware allows, he could plug in the M2 or SATA drive meant to be the server’s startup, install Deb there, and. transfer to the server hardware. That’s definitely more work that just swapping the keyboard & monitor, but it accomplishes OP’s stated goal. (Otherwise, a lot of this thread follows the linux meme of “How do I [X]?” “[X] is dumb, do [Y] instead.”)
I’ll take X company cheaped out, bought from unreliable, dog shit materials provider in country Y (who either purposely or neglectfully knew what they were doing, as a manufacturer), and now has a scape goat despite the root of the issue for 5000 please.
All gamepads that have it having a BAXY control scheme. That’s B right, A down, X left, Y up for the buttons on the right side of the gamepad. I can’t tell you how many times I have pressed the wrong buttons when playing certain games all because the 3rd party switch controller I have uses ABYX or because I don’t remember where the symbols are on a PlayStation controller. Dreamcast and original Xbox had their shit together with how they used BAXY for their controllers and to this day I may shit on Microsoft, but not on the BAXY control scheme on their gamepads.
I’m starting to think the way to go isn’t set stories in the sprint at all. There’s a refined backlog in priority order. You grab one, do it, grab the next. At the end of the two week period, you can still have a retro to see how the team is doing, but don’t worry about rollover.
Alternatively, don’t think of Agile as a set instruction manual, but rather a group of suggestions. Have problem X? Solution Y worked for many teams, so try that.
I have 2 screens attached to my EndeavourOS (KDE Wayland) PC. The secondary is HDMI the primary is Display Port. The boot menu and boot messages all appear on the primary display, but once the login appears the password entry defaults to the secondary. How do I force it to default to the primary?
(Edited for clarity) This was interesting. It gave me arandr to generate a script which is great for lazy me. That script “works” in that it doesn’t give any errors when I test it, but it actually doesn’t have any effect on the login screen. In fact with more digging i discovered that xrandr just doesn’t work at all. I tried setting the display to a lower resolution (default is 3440x1440 so I used 1920x1080) in the control panel to test the xrandr command but xrandr tells me the mode (3440x1440) is not found. I looked again in xrandr and saw that any resolution higher 1920x1080 is not listed any more. I reset the resolution back to 3440x1440 in the control panel then looked in xrandr again and all the expected resolutions are listed again.
xrandr errors when I try to set my display to anything other than the setting it is currently using. Either I’m don’t something stupid with the syntax (99.999% confident I’m doing it right), or xrandr is broken with my setup. Maybe kde plasma 6 and wayland is giving me grief here? My PC has an AMD 7900XT GPU, so maybe it just doesn’t like my GPU for some reason.
Here is the output from xrandr for my current settings:
<span style="color:#323232;">DP-1 connected primary 3440x1440+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800mm x 330mm
</span><span style="color:#323232;">HDMI-A-1 connected 1920x1080+758+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 520mm x 290mm
</span>
Here are the commands I’m using in the Xsetup script.
I want to extract and process the metadata from PNG images and the first line of .safetensors files for LLM’s and LoRA’s. I could spend ages farting around with sed or awk but formats of files are constantly changing. I’d like a faster way to see a summary of training and a few other details when they are available.
True. I wouldn’t use them for very complicated stuff. I currently use them for “what is x?” and “how is x different from y?” kinds of question.
One advantage of using an AI is that it removes a lot of fluff that you get on blogs. However, that can change very soon when our AI overlords figure out monetization.
I absolutely agree that newspapers shouldn’t be allowed to label someone as a criminal before they have been sentenced. My point is that there’s a difference between reporting indisputable facts about an event, and reporting that those facts make someone a criminal.
Reporting that “Video shows person X shooting person Y”. Is different from reporting “Person X committed murder by shooting person Y”, because in the second case you are reporting that they committed a crime, when they may be acquitted of murder in court for any number of reasons. Reporting that “Person X allegedly shot and killed person Y according to this video” makes it seem like there’s any doubt about whether that happened.
