I get where you're coming from in a lot of ways, but the strait (edited) remains closed, and it's not just a perception issue. From this article [0]:
> U.S. officials have previously declared the Iranian Navy to have been rendered combat ineffective, but many of the more than 120 ships it has targeted so far have been larger vessels. Iran has hundreds of fast boats, some of which are armed with short-range anti-ship missiles, as well as artillery rockets and other weapons. They can also be used to lay naval mines. These fleets are inherently harder to find and fix, and do not need large ports to operate from.
Maybe that's why very few ships are still getting through. The rest of the article is a fun read about how A-10s are taking out those small boats, but there's still a whole lot of work left to do. I think Iran still has a lot of asymmetric juice left, and at some point the law of diminishing returns will kick in.
On the other hand it was a war of choice and the U.S. can make their declaration of victory look like whatever they want it to.
> I hope they also get penalised when a lowly worker does a bad thing, even if the worker is an LLM silently misinterpreting a vague instruction.
Yeah the buck stops with the manager (IMO the direct manager). So I can do some constructive criticism with my dev if they make a mistake, but it's my fault in the larger org that it happened. Then it's my manager's job to work with me to make sure I create the environment where the same mistake doesn't happen again. Am I training well? Am I giving them well-scoped work? All that.
Right, and builders now build homes with Ring cameras pre-installed. Surveillance chills aside it's about building rent-seeking into every corner of the economy, and that's a top-down goal of modern capitalism. Requiring a smart-phone to park is just part of it, and it goes back to the parent comment that there is something deeply wrong with how our society treats technology.
To me it proves that Google's steps to lock down phones isn't really about security. To them the scams that happen are acceptable losses. The scammed will still use Android and still click on ads and still let themselves be tracked and marketed to as before. But if Google can use the excuse of security to edge out alternative apps and app stores they will spend plenty of money and time to do it.
This isn't security, it's sealing a hole in the sales funnel.
is is the shit people are exposed to when they go through the Play Store. You don't find that on F-droid.
The second thing I'd do to combat scammers is the same thing I'd do to combat child porn and disinformation: educate people. This silly process is a technical answer to a social problem, and those rarely work well.

When you can actually represent somebody like the ESA get in touch with them. Otherwise, uh, gtfo.
You could take a model like the one referenced in the article, retool it with Forge for oh I don't know, compost, and use it to flag batches that contain too much paper for instance.
These kinds of applications would work across industries, basically anywhere where you have a documented process and can stand to have automated oversight.
I think it's a question of degree. For instance, if you grow an acre of corn you kill a few animals right? And you have an acre of corn which would feed a few people for a year.
A cow takes about 10x as much corn per serving of meat, so that's 10x as many critters killed, and then you have to kill the cow.
The creatures that are killed in the field, or on the road or whatever, they are living their little lives eating and screwing and doing all the fun stuff creatures do until they get brained by a tilling disk or whatever.
A cow on the other hand, in a U.S. cafo? I mean if you like wading through your own shit, nose to asshole with all your compatriots, eating food that your GI tract doesn't even like that much so that you can get overweight? No stimulus, no sex, no variance in diet, then you'd love to be a cow.
I live around thousands of cows grazing and they seem just as natural as your critters. I'm glad some folks are aware that producing food kills animals. And graziers are consuming grass. I have friends primarily eating Deer & Graziers, so their animal impact is similar to your happy critters.
You're strawmaning here. You can take any cause and point the selectiveness of the "people that care of that cause" by putting them in a bag and choosing the bag arguments to argument with.
It’s not indeed, however while you’re not trying to be negative, what you say sounds like so: "I’m trying to point X are Y" where Y is a characteristic of most humans and not just X. “pointing” X sounds like that group is more Y than the rest of humans. I don’t know if that’s you’re intent (probably not as you said you’re not trying to be negative), but the pointing sounds like it is. Your previous message pointing that growing plant kill animals sounds the same as most activities kill animals (walking in the woods, driving, probably watching Netflix in some extend…). I know you’re responding to someone coming first with the killing topic but I think that’s not a good faith interpretation of their post: they said much more, and also “even if we don't eliminate it entirely". The "natural" grazers around your place where probably the kind of farming that they propose to not eliminate. Don’t feel attacked, it’s not on you or your friends.

I'm using this model for my first python project, coding using opencode along with devstral and Mistral Large 3. I know it's not as capable as other, more expensive models, but working with it this way is teaching me python. More directly to your point though, the speech to text model is really good.
It's funny because I just took a break from it to read some hn and found this post.
