I would be happy to see the corresponding crowd sourcing for more bodycams for ICE and CBP as well

You would have to get them to wear them.

Besides, ICE has a budget larger than the US Marine Corps thanks to the unfortunately named “Big Beautiful Bill”, they can afford their own.

Would using drones nowadays end up being much less expensive but with all the same necessary capabilities for police work?

What are the necessary capabilities? My city has no helicopters or drones. There's a medical chopper that flies over my house regularly, but it has an obvious purpose.

Being able to follow a car involved in a hit and run and intercept them when they stop without restoring to what could be a dangerous police chase.

Aerial surveillance has it's place.

Unfortunately standard practice for LAPD is to engage in a dangerous police chase along with the helicopter, not to simply follow with a helicopter.

They don't really use them for hit and run. How could they? Think about how fast that crime occurs and how much time will pass between that incident and vectoring a helicopter, which might be tied up on other work.

Less than 20% of hit and run cases are even solved in California (1). I'm sure the rate is even lower in a city like LA.

> Aerial surveillance has it's place.

It does, but I would be very surprised if the LAPD knew its place or cared to keep it there to prevent it from wandering into places that are totally unnecessary and expensive invasions of our privacy.

Would you like to work with me to create OurTube?

I mean, PeerTube is already halfway there. The problem is that it's a pain in the ass to host, last time I tried. Which sums up the whole problem as to why we have YouTube in the first place.

Yes!

Do you consider the color yellow on your RGB monitor an illusion? (I do)

Same. A fun fact about this is as you increase the bit depth, the percentage of faked outputs actually increases as well. With just 8 bits, you have more 9's than AWS this year!

You can also add a temporal dimension (-> temporal dithering, also known as FRC).

For example if you alternate blue and red every frame at 60~120 FPS, the only thing you'll see is purple.

With red/blue artifacts visible when the viewer’s gaze passes rapidly across it.

I personally wouldn't, but it's close enough that I'm not going to disagree.

I'm glad they used a real quote from him and acknowledged the use of AI in the bottom right.

Quick self nerd snipe:

I think the area should be scaled proportionally, so the new width and height should be multiplied by sqrt(cents/50)

If we're going to be pedantic about it, his name hasn't changed, so really he should be shrinking proportionally rather than growing over time

Agreed. Op needs to add a toggle for Shrinkflation Mode.

Maybe once we get another architecture breakthrough, it won't feel so slow.

To want to cleanse references to "Indigenous motifs or symbolism" as a community value brings about a touch of shame in me. It mostly weakens cultural memory and the ability of later generations to stay connected to the worldviews that these motifs carry. Taking away the symbols is like taking away the memory-keeping. Without them, it's much easier to forget the culture.

I would also support this as a browser extension, possibly with an auto redirect!
