Also ancient Sumer had a pretty decent legal system for it's time, it's entirely possible Ea-Nasir was keeping the tablets for a possible court case. So the ancient equivalent of saving texts from a shit customer.

3. he was gathering evidence of an employee or delivery partner comitting fraud

So it's like the Lemmy modlog. Maybe it's a log of mods calling out bad users, maybe it's a log of mods lying and power tripping.

Why don't y'all just get to machine learn all those fucking tablets you dug up, like hundreds of thousands of them, and train a fucking AI on that shit and tell us what it says instead of sitting here being a besserwisser online, HMM? If there was one good cause for AI, cuneiform would be it. Just god damned saying.

Edit: just btw I happen to know that the problem is mainly the first training set, you need cuneiformers to correctly give the answers so the model knows what to train on, and there's like seven people in the world who do that, but I'm thinking, what if we trained an AI model on all the cuneiform we do know? Hit me up for proposals, I'm serious about this shit

Best copper

Best trade I ever had. I will for sure return.

how much cameras until i can buy 1 portiom of black tar heroine?

Pick yourselves up by your bootstraps, they tell us.

Fuck the police

Sounds like a police/privacy problem, not the idea of having cameras at all.

Police should need a warrant to access the videos.

The software should not log licence plates of every single car that comes past.

The software should be open source and developed by the public sector.

I agree what's in place in the US is a privacy nightmare, but the idea of having cameras in general isn't fundamentally bad.

Skill issue USA, git gud.

Hence my carve out. I don't support the privacy nightmare the US has.

I do support road safety cameras in general, if managed properly.

People don't have the right to have no consequences for their dangerous behaviour.

I don't want the government or private companies tracking my every move

This is an issue with how the cameras are operated. I'm taking issue with people complaining that these cameras exist at all.

People claiming no system could ever be privacy-preserving aren't being very imaginative.

I agree the surveillance state is bad, but taking a picture of someone running a red light and sending them a fine is a good thing, sorry.

What's bad is allowing cameras to passively record every single licence plate at all times and store that information. A speed or red light camera should only take a photo/video when it detects someone speeding/running a red light, and no other information should be stored.

Yeah, love this guy's videos

very few people would complain about traffic police if the cops didn't carry guns or were not trained to pit maneuver you for not wearing a seatbelt

What better ideas do you have in mind?

The camera only snaps a picture when people blow the traffic light. If everybody obeyed the traffic lights then nobody would ever get their car's picture taken with the camera.

i mean, car crashes very much also often lead to death

i don’t think speed cameras are a good way to prevent car crashes, but straight up acting like car crashes aren’t a problem worth mitigating is extremely silly

Christ. Calm down.

The camera doesn't make the road safer it makes it more expensive
