haha, that's exactly the guy's posture. But yes, it's probably just meant as more casual hand gestures vs formal body language. I was just overthinking it

About 20 new cases of gender violence arrive every day, each requiring investigation. Providing police protection for every victim would be impossible given staff sizes and budgets.

I think machine-learning is not the key part, the quote above is. All these 20 people a day come to the police for protection, a very small minority of them might be just paranoid, but I'm sure that most of them had some bad shit done to them by their partner already and (in an ideal world) would all deserve some protection. The algorithm's "success" in defined in the article as reducing probability of repeat attacks, especially the ones eventually leading to death.

The police are trying to focus on the ones who are deemed to be the most at risk. A well-trained algorithm can help reduce the risk vs the judgement of the possibly overworked or inexperienced human handling the complaint? I'll take that. But people are going to die anyway. Just, hopefully, a bit less of them and I don't think it's fair to say that it's the machine's fault when they do.

serious question: what are the two Dems at the top doing? Is he refusing to shake her hand? Was he going in for a hug?

I have to admit It was a solid idea, though. Dick pics should be one of the best training sets you can find on the internet and you can assume that the most prolific senders are the ones with the lowest chance of having an STI (or any real-life sexual activity).

in the light of new hard evidence (very hard!) I have to update my priors to 23% gay

• Manipulating political elections worldwide to favour far-right pro-Russia candidates was an escalation
• Weaponizing immigration to Europe to give an anti-immigrant platform to the above far-right was an escalation
• The irony of trying to purportedly "de-nazify" Ukraine while literally nazifying the rest of the world is just the icing on the shit escalation cake

I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance.... Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!

Love them and try to follow every... Wait, it says "shall not"?" Ah nevermind...

Yes, South Korea wouldn:t want to ruin their friendship with their neighbors in the North. You know the ones always sending them gifts

Yes, fuck Trump but forgetting a guy who interviewed you months before does not sound like a good example of severe memory loss. Sounds more like the guy who already made some money by writing books on Trump is now back to try and make some more and needs to remind people who he is. So fuck him too

Agree, it definitely rocks!

I can't say if this specific one is authentic but I would not be surprised, as my company does the same: branded pride flags, t-shirts for their LGBTQ+ employees. And I'm torn on this, because I feel a bit bad about the branding aspect of it, but on the other hand the company putting their name to openly support all sexual and gender identities does seem like a good thing to do....

Yes, the irony of a company that produces more efficient ways of killing people being concerned with social issues does not escape me. But there are employees of the company who apparently support both (and good for them)

You're in a situation you don't deserve, but you are trying not to make it worse for your mom. I think you rock! I wish you all the best

I don't want to get too deep into your business but just to understand better what you're trying to communicate.... Please tell me if I get this right: there's current (not past) drama in your family and you think that not acknowledging father's day at all would feed into that drama (maybe your dad's reaction would be "see, you're all against me" and he'd play the victim or something like that) . On the other hand you also don't want to pretend everything is right with your father. So you want something to communicate "I don't want to be against you, but I certainly am not on your side either; I just want to be left alone and talk to you the strictly necessary amount of times". Is that it?

If that's the case, yes, the standard-est, humorless "happy father's day" card you can find, with nothing but your signature in it should convey that message pretty well. If you can't find anything, just a white one with a handwritten "happy father's day, [your name]" would do.

it's just a convenience, not a magic wand. Sure relying on AI blindly and exclusively is a horrible idea (that lots of people peddle and quite a few suckers buy), but there's room for a supervised and careful use of AI, same as we started using google instead of manpages and (grudgingly, for the older of us) tolerated the addition of syntax highlighting and even some code completion to all but the most basic text editors.

We found very ancient human viruses! To the lab! Gotta see if we can use them to infect modern humans...

I know that research is generally for good, but why is it so hard to tell if a quote is from an actual researcher or a comics super-villain?

ah man, just when I thought I had a good grasp of English.... The examples of how you'd phrase the second meaning are very helpful, thanks!

thank you!!

sorry for the question, I'm not a native english speaker... do you mean this as in "this is the Googlest thing ever" or "I have never read so many Google news in a week"?
