These all seem like OCR errors...? Why would there be OCR in this workflow? Did they print this out and then generate a PDF from a scan instead of the original source? To maintain an air gap maybe?


it would seem so. so the question is why they would maintain an air gap for a safety report


It's a good policy. Document formats like to include lots of random junk, better to be safe.


Also it prevents redactions from being disclosed.


eclipse also does better than dot, but it's useful to notice that graphviz never dies

personally i find llms to be absurdly capable, and people are just using them wrong


No true Scotsman, eh?


this is called relativism, and while accepting relativism is seen to be defeatist, thinking that you know the truth is usually naive.

except math. math is true


It is possible to accept that one can’t know the absolute, complete, detailed truth without giving up on identifying and rejecting lies.

That’s the whole authoritarian / fascist shtick: if you can’t be 100% certain that no formulation of any vaccine has ever increased illness, then “vaccines kill people” is just as true as “vaccines save lives”.

I don’t need to have personally reviewed all records of every single version of every single vaccine to confidently assert the two statements are not remotely equivalent in accuracy.


Both statements as written are true: vaccines do kill people and vaccines do save lives.

If you insert the implicit “all”, then both are false: not all vaccines save lives and not all vaccines kill people.

But your knowledge of medicine is quite deep if you know the relative rates of vaccines with zero deaths ever versus the rate at which defective vaccines are produced. Do you have a good source you can share?


So many fallacies. To be charitable, I will assume you are just trying to wind people up with nonsensical rhetoric.

There are no zero-death vaccines, as you know. There are also no zero-death diseases, as you probably know. The relative rates of death between the two are not even close, as you know.


relativism is indeed wrong, but thinking that because knowing the truth is somehow “hard”, that you should throw out objectivism is also wrong.


Thank you for reminding me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9299539


and here I was just going to say that math requires numbers, and numbers are often made up


Unless you get your eyes open to Intuitionist Math and then you realize math isn't "true".

Then again... where in the trillion or so parameters of any LLM is The Law of the Excluded Middle that classical math requires to be "true".

Even more comical is that there are certainly embeddings in there _about_ an excluded middle. With thousands of dimensions and billions of values in each one.

Lord help us all... Lol


try google. it took 5 seconds


I’ve been reading this story since it came out, I’m actually from Savannah. It’s a very political story with bad coverage as a result. I have never read a story that wasn’t vague with no details which is why I asked.


i'm in atlanta. i used google. it took five seconds


a leaked document shows that at least one person was recognized to have the appropriate visa and was coerced into leaving "voluntarily". no details on how prevalent this was have been released

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/10/hyundai-fact...


Who would need to be coerced? If I were in a foreign country and their paramilitary border force treated me like that, I'd GTFO, shake the dust off my feet, and never consider going back to such a crazy dangerous place - no matter how the legal nonsense was ultimately resolved.


surrounded by spaces... right?


Yeah, I do that. Maybe it's a reaction to badly kerned fonts I've encountered or maybe I just didn't notice the words were more or less joined by the em-dash. I guess I've been treating it as a long hyphen all this time.


Only after, not before.


Finally some hacker news
