Assuming a perfect system this still fails because you have now locked in all the law abiding citizens with someone who has proven they are ready to break the rules, effectively inventing a hostage situation out of thin air whereby a miscreant can terrorize their fellow passengers for the duration of the police response time.

This is a legacy design decision all the way back to iOS 1 before notifications existed. SMS messages used to be delivered through the same modal system. I believe the Apple ID and update messages are now banner notifications, and the battery alert gives you an easy way to turn on Low Power Mode, although I agree there should be a way to make that a banner notif as well.

It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he spent every day of his career building various pipes and combustion chambers. All of these guys are now dead or retired so when you try to build hardware today you get new grads who settle on LIDAR and computer vision not because it is the best choice but because it is literally all that they are familiar with; the old solutions have all ceased to exist within the minds of employees and classrooms.

This is clearly intended for use in web applications so a JS runtime comes for free and the package is only 8.2kb

Hey, this is great! Could you make it so clicking on the video ID in the bottom right corner opens the full video in a new tab? It would be nice to be able to like / save the whole video for later. Kinda like DVR.

Awesome, so in addition to confusing aircraft and sending them in the wrong directions, Putin can also stop everyone from driving in Europe whenever he feels like it.

That essay also loosely inspired the opening scene of Lord of War, which showcases the journey of a bullet from an underground mine to an Eastern European factory all the way into the head of an African child soldier.

I also wrote a Swift CLI that wraps over the Vision framework: https://github.com/nexuist/seev

Text extraction is included (including the ability to specify custom words not found in the dictionary) but there are also utilities for face detection, classification, etc.

As a steelman, wouldn't the abundance of infinitely generate-able situations make it _easier_ for us to develop strong theories and models? The bottleneck has always been data. You have to do expensive work in the real world and accurately measure it before you can start fitting lines to it. If we were to birth an e.g. atomically accurate ML model of quantum physics, I bet it wouldn't take long until we have mathematical theories that explain why it works. Our current problem is that this stuff is super hard to manipulate and measure.
