If you weren't arguing against the business case, what were you arguing with the C-level types about? I don't think I have ever heard a case for react that wasn't centered around shared codebases mean fewer resources/cost/time to deliver a feature.


Because someone needs to be in the room to show the “make the most money with the least resources” people that there are more variables to consider.


The em-dashes present within the writing made me pause and consider how much of this was written/exited by AI.

Quick browse through pre-AI works from John Paul II show em-dashes present.


Pure speculation, but simply the presence of em-dashes may be a statement in itself.

One of the big problems I see currently is all the wild accusations being thrown around by seemingly half the internet that every little thing has been AI manipulated upon the tiniest suspicion. We will go mad tearing each other apart if we keep escalating this behavior.

Yes, some of it is blatantly obvious, but not to everyone-- so I think those casting aspersions need to really back up their claims with more than one or two bits of 'evidence'. I have been accused of using AI to write comments (which I have thus far never done), and I know I'm not the only one by a long shot. Such a waste of time and energy. Ignore it and move on if something smells off to you.

Also I am just so, so tired of the em-dash argument. Humans have been using it for a looong time. Let it go.


Now that's some em-dash passion!

My point was less about em-dashes and more stopping to consider how the vatican's workflow and editorial process has changed in wake of AI, and what, if any, impact that could have on the outputs.

AI is a tool, I have no problems with others using it to assist with writing as long as the original intent/argument remains.


The Italian version of this https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/it/encyclicals/docume... uses en dashes instead. Could the em- or en- dashes be a side-effect of the translation?


Someone did an analysis and concluded that it appear to be at least partly (~10-15%) LLM-generated, or at least LLM-translated (see comments): https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/s58hDHX2GkFDbpGKD/linch-s-sh...


People need to stop acting like AI systems can detect AI. They can't. Pangram and similar are simply lying. There's no method to do what they claim and there never will be.


Seriously this. Let's skip pangram and em-dashes and just revert to common sense:

A church is the pattern for a brain-washing org. Catholic and derivatives just happen to dominate western hemisphere. Its operation is no different from, say, Scientology.


It's all or nothing for Gemini Pro.

I can't set a voice reminder on my Pixel without giving full access to my Google workspace (which includes all emails) which is explicitly allowed to be trained on per the terms. There is no per app toggle.

Voice reminders were the only thing assistants did well for years.

We are going backwards.


"We are going backwards."

Scaling up to get more nuance and subtle stuff makes the whole damn thing break. Im waiting for others to realise this.



Covid-200


My mom still has these. In gold. It has outlasted two boilers.



I struggle with the exact same issue in a pickup truck. I think people are driving around with their high beams on without knowing it.

When I learned how to drive, my mom showed me how the headlights turned on and off. If you didn’t turn them off, the car died.

The automation has made light management a very second thought.

My friend didn’t know what the blue high beam icon on the dash was. I blame the automatic light feature.


When body cameras first rolled out, someone (an actual person) had to review the footage. Officers had to wait for that review to be completed before ending their shift. If I recall correctly, that wait was overtime at first and then policy was modified and it became unpaid time.

I hope that has changed.


Is that specific to where you live?

No offense, but that _sounds_ like a super-specific policy :)

Also, how would that even work? Is there a second person who's watching the first cop's entire day? Like, even at 8x speed that's an hour for to watch an 8 hour shift.

It seems like a more reasonable / likely policy is that the video footage is automatically archived and then deleted after a reasonable time (3 months? 6? a year?) if it's not requested by anybody.

That way someone can request the relevant footage when a (hopefully infrequent) complaint is made, possibly after the requester has gotten a lawyer (etc), but the 99% of the footage that isn't useful never consumes anyone's time ("Watch as Officer Smith.. PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN!!!1!!!1" :) ).


It can absolutely vary by department. However, the NYPD historically has set trends other departments follow.

From their Patrol Guide, below is what an officer is to do with video before their next tour of duty. My local department adopted this language almost verbatim.

These cameras are not upload and forget it. I'd encourage you to read on some of this as your comment "how would that even work" tells me your jaw is about to be on the floor when you read about the levels of red tape attached to these. To be clear, I'm pro camera and accept these costs of oversight. That doesn't mean the system cannot be improved.

Fun, but sarcastic idea: YouTube is filled with First Amendment Auditors. @AuditTheAudit has 818,495,408 views... let's let departments upload and have would be FA auditor viewers review, and if needed, tag videos for Internal Audit review. The People were going to give their time away anyhow, might as well save some fellow tax payers money... Wait, I take this back. I can see the officers now starting the body cam footage to talk about Better Help and Express VPN... never mind!

NYPD Patrol Guide 212-123: 16. Access the video management system on the Department Intranet or Department smartphone to classify videos based upon the nature of the event. a. Select one category for BWC video retention from the dropdown list in the following priority order: (1) Arrest, (2) Homicide, (3) Summons, (4) Investigative Encounter, and (5) Uncategorized. b. Document the nature of event from dropdown list (e.g., EDP, DV incident, home visit, etc.), (1) If the nature of the event cannot be selected from the dropdown list, enter a description of the event and include the associated ICAD number. c. If related to an arrest, enter the complete arrest number, beginning with the borough letter designation in the appropriate field, and/or d. If related to a Terry Stop/Level 3 Encounter not involving an arrest, enter the Stop Report number in the appropriate field. 17. Categorize all BWC videos by the end of next scheduled tour

I enabled this four months ago and I have had the same experience.

It’s not that I couldn’t retype the config file I accidentally wrote over while tinkering, but I like the safety that comes with Timeshift to try and fail a few times.

Hard lessons come hard. This softens those lessons a little while maintaining the learning.
