  • Arrests Grow Over Trump’s Reflecting Pool Renovation Disaster

  • They're arresting people who just stopped and touched a piece to inspect it.

    He has also designed boats, paddles and other waterproof products, and said he was curious about what materials had been used to paint the pool. The 67-year-old said he only touched the material briefly before he was told by one of the park service workers helping to clean the algae from the pool to stop.

  • OCR libraries have undoubtedly improved but LLMs are using the same open source libraries and tools available to anyone... there's few cases where sending the work through general models is worth it for text conversion. Employees just needed a front end to upload, run something like tesseract behind the scenes, and spit out the result. It's an egregiously stupid use of resources.

  • I know a company that burned $100k in tokens after they they let like 50 worker bees using general AI for OCR, simply converting images and PDFs to text.

    They didn't bother to create a skill, or teach the AI how to reuse a shared script so every request resulted in it writing a new python project, pulling libraries, using a frontier model rather than offloading a dumb one etc.

    Basically find a business process that happens often and let em at it inefficiently, it'll happily chew through the budget.

  • The public site is the first impression and introduction of a product, and this one has all sorts of slop signs around it. You can see how that can make someone skeptical to the quality of application. I don't agree "computers can do it better" - I'd prefer a plain old website that gets to the point over one showing useless graphics, generated text, and non-functional interactions.

  • I appreciate the candidness. Hopefully you can understand AI presentation generally implies an AI product, and without source code to audit, it raises some flags. Clarity of where AI is used as you've done here helps.

  • You can at least admit the marketing site is AI, yes?

  • Just wanted to comment on your cyberpunk observations, netrunner is a great time but like the most fun I had in that game was gorilla arms on a body/reflex build with berserk. By end game you're just walking through buildings, tanking shots, punching heads off. feels absolutely unstoppable.

    Netrunner was cool but I always felt I had to play more careful and clever. Yes they can hack a camera and remotely clear a room, but I fricking loved being the hulk.

  • Mage, but only glass cannon builds. Any flesh shields warriors lfg?

  • 400+ Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in a Supply Chain Attack Deploying Infostealers

    Jump

  • I suppose it's become more common since PEP 668 was introduced, less unique these days.

  • 400+ Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in a Supply Chain Attack Deploying Infostealers

    Jump

  • Well, those are mostly extension libraries, stuff "normally" installed using pip. Arch is kind of unique that they encourage using system aur over pip, npm and other package managers. While it is a big radius, none of the python packages stick out to me, but maybe I just haven't encountered the popular ones.

  • They'll file a lawsuit after it's demolished and find out in 4-6 years the statue shouldn't have been demolished.

    The admin will say it was a matter of national interest to be demolished, supreme court will give them a double thumbs up, and well - what could have been done.

  • Has there ever been a show about a mixed-gender group of adult friends where there are no romantic entaglements within the group?

    Jump

  • Damn it. I think I subconsciously ruled out of the mix gendered and ended up at golden girls just trying to think of a sitcom that didn't feature romantic interests in the group.

    I'm a dummy, carry on.

  • Golden girls comes to mind. And maybe arrested development? but that's more family than a group of friends.
