mrits··on Kmart's use of facial recognition to tackle refund fraud unlawful
In the US we expect the government to respect private property
mrits··on Kmart's use of facial recognition to tackle refund fraud unlawful
Is this from the 90s? Who doesn't expect to be recorded when entering a retail chain? How the hell does the government have the right to decide what this private company can do on their private land? If you enter onto someone else's property you should play by their rules.
mrits··on AI was supposed to help juniors shine. Why does it mostly make seniors stronger?

mrits··on Optimizing ClickHouse for Intel's ultra-high core count processors
besides jemalloc also being used by other columnar databases it has a lot of control and telemetry built in. I don't closely follow tcmalloc but I'm not sure it focuses on large objects and fragmentation over months/years.

Freedom fries are off the table?
mrits··on Not Buying American Anymore
It was the initiative of the largest retailer. You have had to live in a bubble to not know this.
mrits··on Not Buying American Anymore
In the US we have always at least acted like we try to buy American made. It feels weird that the rest of the world is only now considering where their stuff is coming from.

Who is a trust worthy partner? If you talk to a European as an American they often have a lot more dislike for each other. It hasn’t been a century since they tried to genocide each other

mrits··on Protobuffers Are Wrong (2018)
I've used them almost daily for 15 years. They are way down the list of things I'd want improved. It has been interesting to see the protobuffers killers die out every few years though

My favorite part of the blog is how the author lets us know he is pretty young to reference vagrant as old.
mrits··on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline
I suppose the question is if we need to understand the concepts deeply. I'm not sure many of us did to begin with and we have shipped a lot of code.
mrits··on Amazon has mostly sat out the AI talent war
Not exactly going out on a limb here by predicting hardware manufacturers are going to make money on AI
mrits··on The share of Americans having regular sex keeps dropping
Even 30 years ago in East Texas we had sex ed in junior high. Abortions were legal and common. Boys had it shoved down their throats not to harass girls. I learned the biology of sex in 4th or 5th grade. While there was a common public message of abstinence the reality is most of the parents had their girls on birth control. At least all my friends were anyways.
mrits··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
The existence of signed malware does not mean that it isn't in our own best interest to have signed software. It's the argument of antivaxxers. You are probably equally confused how that works as well.

"It doesn't actually protect us though, so it isn't worth it and we shouldn't accept it."
