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

This is believable. I have a personal anecdote regarding "Priority Delivery". This was about 2 years ago. After watching the driver go to another business and house before me, I messaged support and they refunded this priority delivery fee. The driving tip and base pay accusation can be easily verified by testing tip amounts and asking drivers what they are awarded.

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

I would call it an illusion because if you pay attention you can clearly see that the color you perceive isn't actually present. You can see white on an RBG computer screen since your eyes simply don't have the resolution to discern the subpixel colors. However, in a dithered image with only black and white, you perceive gray, but you can also tell what the reality is without much effort. Personally, I think that fits the definition of an illusion.

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

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

This is a powerful visual representation. I would suggest that the impact could be even stronger if you provided side-by-side images of 50 Cent, where the second is scaled up proportionately.

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)

While this remains possible my main impression now is that progress seems to be slowing down rather than accelerating.

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!
