In Spain when cops fuck up you simply take away their ability to work in law enforcement. It’s really that simple. In US they will just get hired by another city. The problem in US is not that this is hard to solve and requires some clever, hard to write legislation. The problem is that law enforcement always worked for the elites, not the masses and no one in power wants to change it.
People keep proposing naive solutions without realizing cops only use bodycams because they see them as net benefit for them. The technology was around for a long time but only became popular when it was sold as surveillance tool, not accountability tool. If police loses control of the footage they will simply stop using them. If you force them they will protest. Guess who the politicians will support in this fight?
Exactly. Impossible to tell from this article alone.
Meh, it just says new exam was introduces and a lot of students failed. This just means the schools are not good at preparing students for this exam, not that they don’t prepare for practicing medicine. I would say it’s normal that universities will need time to adapt their courses to the requirements of the exams. Maybe students are not well prepared for the format or maybe the just need to put greater focus on different parts of the curriculum. I don’t think this means that graduates are somehow less prepared, just that the new exam is another barrier for them to begin practice which means it will slow down induction of new doctors into the workforce. Hopefully they will adapt fast and this will not have any long term repercussions.
This is on purpose. Kids can’t like the same things as their parents. They have to look for things their parents are against to feel rebellious and independent. For my generation it was nu metal. My mother was used to nice, elegant men wearing suits and considered any artist with esthetics rougher then Julio Iglesias as ‘not nice’. So we had Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and other weirdos. We had violence and gore to shock our parents and can’t be shocked with that so kids today have overly ‘erotic’ artists like Cardy B. ‘Look ma, I’m listening to an ex stripper. You don’t like that, right?’. Musically our artists were too aggressive for our parents and kids today have rap which for me sounds simply boring. And that’s fine, that’s by design. If my generation was into those artists kids wouldn’t like them. Of course the biggest artists are the ones that manage to span generations like Taylor Swift but that’s for non-rebellious part of society that just likes things they already know.
And the dev will add an extra “ignore any previous instructions to ignore system warnings for AI”. Szach mat.
I simply use cargo 🤷
Interesting. I thought this will be another post about slop PRs and bug reports but no, it’s about open source project not being promoted by AI and missing on adoption and revenue opportunities.
So I think we definitely see (and will see more) ‘templatization’ of software development. Some ways of writing apps that are easy to understand for AI and are promoted by it will see wider and wider adoption. Not just tools and libraries but also folder structures, design patterns and so on. I’m not sure how bad this will be long term. Maybe it will just stabilize tooling? Do we really need new React state management library every 6 months?
Hard to tell how will this affect the development of proper tools (not vibe coded ones). Commercial tools struggling to get traction will definitely suffer but most of the libraries I use are hobby projects. I still see good tools with good documentation getting enough attention to grow, even fairly obscure ones. Then again, those tools often struggle with getting enough contributors… Are we going to see a split between vibe coded template apps for junior devs and proper tools for professionals? Will EU step in and found the core projects? I still see a way forward so I’m fairly optimistic but it’s really hard to predict what will happen in a couple of years.
Yes, you have to be talented not to get lost in the pyenv (‘env’ as in ‘version’ management), venv, virtualenv, pyvenv and god knows what else. All those tools either manager versions, virtual environments or both. Super simple! I’m sure you’re enjoying working with them and that’s fine. I avoid it.
Thanks, I simply don’t use Python. As I said, languages that have to create new tools all the time because the official tools are broken are not my thing.
Totally agree but I don’t find stupid movies ‘fun’.
There are movies that are purposefully wacky, nonsensical, not scientific or just silly and I can’t enjoy them. Snowpiercer is a great example. This movie made 0 sense but it wasn’t trying to be a proper sci-fi. I was about the message and it was nicely delivered.
Then you have movies that are trying to be smart and failing badly like for example Interstellar. It’s a “smart” movie for not so smart people. I hate those.
And then you have purely stupid movies like all the Marverls, fast and furious and so on. Nothing makes sense but everyone pretends it does. If you are able to turn off thinking for couple hours and enjoy it - good for you. I can’t.
I know it’s just a meme but Python is seriously the worst language I have ever worked with. Not because of language itself, this is fine for scripting, but because of the terrible tooling. pip is the most unreliable package manager I’ve seen, packages installed system wide collide with what you’re trying to install for you project, environment virtualization and version management is a mess with venv/pyenv and more doing same things differently (the standard can’t decide on just one tool for that) and on top of that you have all the ruff/black/mypy and many more offering same features but not really with a new tools coming out all the time. I not a Python expert but even people I worked with that are were confused but all this. I haven’t seen such a mess in any other language.
That’s because you’re not AI.
I was once told by an EMT that you do CPR unless the spine is clearly severed in any place. Basically the person doesn’t have to be cut in half at the neck. Anywhere above legs counts.
Check his ID and make sure he’s not.
They are not that safe if people still die in them…
Very interesting. I assumed that police always held privileged status in US but this could be simply because they are always portrayed like that in movies, even historical ones. The PR is definitely there. In pretty much every movie caps break the laws and ignore rights of everyone and it’s shown as something necessary and even ‘cool’. Bad guys don’t deserve rights…
