Most of the comments here are focusing on crimes in urban areas. The town I live in has a population of about 6,000. It also has low crime. But the municipal government has installed several flock cameras. I struggle to understand how these benefit me, as a citizen of the town. They definitely make me feel uncomfortable whenever I drive past, knowing that someone, somewhere is likely tracking and cataloguing my movements.

Every bad change here, that has been merged in the last 6 months, correlated with a lack of human review. Sure, someone hit the approve button, but it was done within 30 seconds of the PR creation time, clearly no review was performed. This is in repos that have deterministic as well as ai driven review CI checks.

And that doesn't even get into the "features" that were implemented without reviewing the design or requirements were actually hit (they were not).

I would love to replace all of these useless meat bags with more ai. But I would absolutely still want to be in the loop to review things.

The lesson I've learned about AI is that lazy/bad engineers without AI are still lazy/bad engineers with AI.

Okay, sorry, I don't know what I'm arguing anymore, this turned into a rant.

Moving the check online doesn't remove the unreliable human, it just switches it from a stock person to an it person, or whoever receives the email in their inbox.

Disagree. It does what I need it to do. The store might be slow but my games work great.

Dell, having one of the most popular engineering laptops of the past decade (xps). It's not surprising that it would have better than average support.

The article is from 2020, so you may already be able to make that judgment.

We do this as well. There are some downsides of course, but overall it has worked out well for years. Funny we were told the use of stored procedures is a problem and the reason the product should be retired. You should see the dependency graph of the replacement.

Hmm. If this is a security issue that matters, would you not be expected to migrate?

Not talking about archived code, but active projects that pre-date git 3.0

Hmm, Except most chat applications have an indicator that already answers all those questions in the basic sense. When I set myself as "in a meeting" or "busy", it means... just that. "hey I see you are busy, are you available?" doesn't make a lot of sense.

Furthermore, I can't actually answer in the shorthand, because I don't know anything about it. "can you talk?" - for how long? about what? with who? I have no idea how to respond to you.

Please, just tell me what you want - "Hi, wondering if you have 5 minutes to chat about <topic>?".

Your comment implies the youth refs are the exception, but the VAST majority of play are at these lower competitive levels, and it is FAR more common to have youth or inexperienced refs than otherwise.

The ref is impartial and their only job is to manage the game according to law. If a team's fans are misbehaving to the point the game must be abandoned, it doesn't matter one iota to the ref if those fans are tanking on purpose. The league can deal with that.

I doubt many refs want this responsibility, even if it were feasible. And I don't think it is feasible in most cases. For instance, how is the ref going to pick out the problem fans while also managing the game itself? And how is the ref supposed to enforce the removal?

Keep in mind these refs are often volunteers, working solo, have no official connection to the teams or field owners.

And there is a ref shortage virtually everywhere, at all levels and sports. Making it more difficult just isn't realistic.

From my experience, the refs typically assign responsibility to the head coach of the team the fans represent. It's not the refs job to manage the fans. They are there to manage the game. If the coach or staff determine the problem fans should be removed, they can do that.

That's interesting. I've noticed similar things on youtube. It seems like by blocking most of the tracking, it automatically falls back to AI slop and wellness gurus. I've tried watching some of these ads out of curiosity and it's often difficult to even figure out what the actual product is. It feels very scammy. Certainly light years from the early promises of google offering text-only ads when everyone else had malware laden banners and toolbars.
