  • Websites have false positives all the time and while it sucks, it’s infeasible for them to have human reviewers checking everything and it’s better to have false positives than false negatives… What isn’t acceptable is that the appeals process uses the exact same models as the flagging process so it gets the exact same false positives and false negatives…

    Pic related as it was one of the first to reveal how broken the appeals process in most social media platforms was.

  • This is Rust not Python

    They’re both optimised out by the compiler. If you disable compiler optimisations, they’re identical in machine code anyway, unless you introduce a second loop, in which case the first will be more memory efficient as the memory used in the first loop can be reused in the second loop, whereas if you declare the variable outside the loop it can’t (again, without compiler optimisations, which make the whole comparison pointless).
