IMO including the totally unnecessary phrase “unlikely situation” here is quite indicative of a toxic environment within the company.

Well, it potentially does make it “ok” in the sense of being less bad than letting the guy off. That’s why the legal concept exists. There are other contexts where there is no good faith exception, but in this situation there is one. In thi

It just means they were completely transparent with the court when getting the data, and believed themselves it was lawful. What’s hard to believe about that? They clearly put some effort into minimising the collateral privacy intrusions.

Yes too much “it’s not X it’s Y”, and too few references to personal actions/biography.

Is there a SOTA OCR model that prioritises failing in a debuggable way? What I want is an output that records which sections of the image have contributed to each word/letter, preferably with per word confidence levels and user correct

This is almost certainly because a member of the public phoned the police/FBI and alleged that GM was /u/maxwellhill, not that it was part of the FBI’s case. Look at the other stuff on the list. I don’t know if the claim is “

Other ones that to me felt like completely fair value and better than anything I had as a child were the Creator Bunny, Space Telescope, and Space Robot. Something like £18/£25/£25 the second two having light bricks included. JK B

I don’t think this is true at all. What do you mean by “general bricks”? If anything there is more brick-built stuff nowadays. For example the Creator 3-in-1 Castle (which I got for my son for Christmas) is pretty similar to castle sets I h

The citation for your quote appears to be an unsourced Reddit post. The agreement at the heart of 5 Eyes is to not surveil the other nations - this must be up there for most persistently misunderstood fact among techies (probably why AI s

This is literally my favourite website, I use it several times a week. I do wish the search was a bit better; it could show the matching quote below the matching frame, and it doesn’t seem to support phrase queries. A more advanced feature

Both the use of “founder” and “the” are inaccurate and misleading (I notice you’ve switched to “a” without comment). He was a government adviser 20 years ago that was central to the work of creating Ofcom. How is he closely related to the r

Ludicrous to call William Perrin “the founder” of Ofcom or refer to it as “his” quango. Passive voice, evidence free conspiracy nonsense that flatters HN biases? Updoots to the left!

The phrase they actually use is "content recommender system". The definition is in the link; you could maybe see some search features falling into it but I don't see how Wikipedia as it exists now is Category 1.

One of the main motivations for this law was pro-suicide and pro-anorexia content being pushed to teenage girls. In particular Molly Russell's death received a lot of press coverage and public outrage at tech companies. The coroner&#x2

I think the general point is you are presenting something as a hardship that is a quality of life unachievable for most people (even in the UK), and unthinkable for most people in the recent past, even in the West. You come across as out of

I don't think this hypothetical behaviour would change the 95th percentile or any percentiles below it, would it? If the income of everybody above the 80th percentile dropped to be equal to the 81st percentile, the 80th percentile inco

Do you have any examples of people being arrested for criticising a law? Most of the time these dystopian descriptions of the UK turn out to be completely overblown nonsense when you look into them properly.

The forum is still up so was this thread in fact mistaken?

It’s totally superficial rage porn. Solutions offered include “a total rethink” and “an integrated strategy”. Brilliant…

His examples of “feeling poor” are nothing to do with being poor and are in fact mostly signs of largesse or affluence. Councils expanded the number of SEND pupils eligible for free school transport, increasing spending from £9m to £20m - h

I had the complete opposite impression from that thread. It seemed like people were politically motivation to interpret the law in a certain way, so they could act like they were being coerced. These closures are acts of protest, essentiall
