 https://twitter.com/NOLAnews/status/974070899702927361 Landrieu's office confirmed by email Wednesday (March 14) that the agreement would not be renewed. It expired Feb. 21, and had been extended three previous times since first drafted in 2012. "This technology is no longer being utilized in day-to-day operations, and therefore, will not be renewed," Landrieu press secretary Craig Belden said in an email. ... Regarding claims that the City of New Orleans had a secret relationship, Landrieu's office pointed to information on the city's NOLA For Life website and in a 2016 NOLA For Life report that identifies Palantir as a partner in the effort to "increase analytical capacity at NOPD." "There's a potential risk for abuse, particularly with no independent verification of how these tools are used," Ursula Price, deputy monitor in the Independent Police Monitor's office, previously told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune. lmao landrieu all flushing his new not-racist cred right down the toilet

remember, that hasn't been any other national just-toys-but-also-all-sorts-of-toys retail chain in the US since 2009. and before that it had just been kb and toys r us essentially (toys r us purchasing the corpse of kb in 2009) since 2002 or so when several smaller sorts of stores like zany brainy etc went under. im not sure if there was ever really a point where dedicated wide-range toy retailers were really on top of the toy market as compared to people just buying toys from department stores and discount department stores (eg target/walmart/kmart). toys r us' big thing had mostly been being a good sort of showroom for toy manufacturers to try to get the public hooked on things in holiday seasons, but the bulk of the sales of the things that caught on were going to come out of something else

that whole paper is amazing, here's a better link with screenshots of the different sections https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/973637418225090560 abuse clock ticks and floor glitching for free energy discovering turns were stored in text files and deleting them to get a perfect score sorting a list by wiping it and making it a technically sorted blank one apply a huge force to overflow memory and get a perfect score in aircraft structural physics simulation selecting an illegal move in a far away grid in an infinite tic tac toe simulation, causing the opponent's computer crash when it expands the grid to validate the move

this is my favorite one, which I think I've read before somewhere else:quote:In Thompson’s experiment, an EA evolved the connectivity of a reconfigurable Field Programmable Gate Area (FPGA) chip, with the aim of producing circuits that could distinguish between a high-frequency and a lower-frequency square wave signal. After 5, 000 generations of evolution, a perfect solution was found that could discriminate between the waveforms. This was a hoped-for result, and not truly surprising in itself. However, upon investigation, the evolved circuits turned out to be extremely unconventional. The circuit had evolved to work only in the specific temperature conditions in the lab, and exploited manufacturing peculiarities of the particular FPGA chip used for evolution. Furthermore, when attempting to analyze the solution, Thompson disabled all circuit elements that were not part of the main powered circuit, assuming that disconnected elements would have no effect on behavior. However, he discovered that performance degraded after such pruning! Evolution had learned to leverage some type of subtle electromagnetic coupling, something a human designer would not have considered (or perhaps even have known how to leverage). haveblue fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Mar 15, 2018 |
