You can stop hitting them. They’re already dead.

But seriously this was a great breakdown.

Tracking, and the ability to house that data opening the company housing it up to breaches that leak that data.

It’s wasn’t an indictment on you or anything. I tried to click what I thought was a link, figured there was a mistake and then went looking for the actual article to get some context.

Since it was a 404 article I read and I know they do paywalls (and I sub to them so I don’t get the paywalls) I didn’t want to share that link because people might not be able to view it.

This dystopian hellscape is progressing in a way that I did not expect. Why are we lojacking pregnant women? Why are we lojacking immigrants? What the fuck? How is that not a violation of their rights?

I had to Google the article and I believe it may be paywalled. I sub to 404 media so I am not restricted from seeing it.

Changed.

This is stupid. He shouldn’t be charged unless they can prove that he destroyed evidence. If it was evidence, what was it?

Did they mistakenly erase the phone trying to unlock it, or did it erase itself when he didn’t log in for a certain period of time? Like obviously if he was in custody, he either knew he was going to be detained and erased it beforehand (unlikely) or they messed up and ran afoul of good tech privacy practices and are big mad about it.

The low wage is offset here in the American military when you first start out by how much of a service members housing and food is paid for by the government.

That means if you previously had a domescile where you reside, they pay for food and housing allowance for that (which isn’t taxable). There’s a lot of random things that go into paying service members and a lot of safety nets and other programs in place for them that just don’t exist to the general public. Which sort of offsets the low pay here in America.

I rather like the idea of it not being required to be military service, but including the option for military service. Where you spend a year or two in some kind of service (military or civil public). So you could work for your local one federal government, etc instead.

It is also better (in my opinion) to include men and women in this kind of push, something the draft still ignores to this day.

I suppose I have never experienced an equivalent because in our military bottom of the totem pole is the bottom and often that’s just who does all the worst jobs, and since we were all volunteers it’s not a matter of who’s who.

But yeah, I can understand why asking someone to take a pay cut to do mandatory service for a year would be problematic .

Another thing that happens here is, when you’re a reservist and you are activated your job is protected and in some cases they may be required to pay you the difference if military pay is lower. So it’s not necessarily a pay cut for us.

So is the concern that this will be a “pre-draft” in the event that the government need to enact a draft?

Because what the US has is a draft roll. Basically, when you’re born (males only) you are added to a list and once you turn 18 that list is updated to categorize you as eligible for the draft. Once drafted you would be screened (physical/medical screening etc) and then deemed eligible for service and enlisted.

But we also have one of (if not the) largest volunteer military force in the world. We haven’t actually drafted anyone since the Vietnam War.

If this is the case I can see why people are protesting.

Is it licensing fees? I bet it is.

I think there’s something to be said for just the rising rate of actual diagnoses of neurological medical conditions that count as a disability. This would obvious behave an affect on the number of students across the board needing accomodations for their disabilities.

Additionally, there are far more poor people who aren’t being diagnosed at all and those people are likely to go to elite colleges. Poor people are substantially more likely to go to community college than they are to ivy leagues, and they are far less likely to ever get a diagnosis for a neurological condition.

So while I am sure that there are some rich kids getting to these schools and realizing they are in over their heads, and I’m sure some of them are rich enough to pay a doctor for the diagnosis they want, I find the disbelief rather egregious, especially in light of the difference in challenge of the curriculum at an ivy league vs a community college.

I’m not saying that the AI is bad in and of itself. I’m just saying that essentially you can’t blame the people of Japan for not liking nukes after we nuked them twice (the perhaps most devastating use of harnessed fire, in my probably not very good analogy).

If we want to make something good from AI, continuing down this path isn’t the way after it’s actively harmed so many people. Doesn’t mean Nuclear power plants aren’t a good idea. Or something. I don’t even know anymore. This analogy has gotten so far away from me.

I like Brendan as much as the next guy. But vending machines on the whole aren’t that great.

I don’t think she’s wrong. Treating Generative AI LLM’S as an innovation and studying it to see what it can do and how it can benefit a business makes as much sense as with any other innovation.

Pretending it is the panacea to all that ails every company in spite of the rot it’s actually directly causing is the problem, but the solution isn’t to change the way we implement AI.

It’s fruit of the poison tree at this point. You’re asking someone who’s already been burned by the fire that’s been let to rage out of control to build a smaller more manageable fire, and expecting them to just overcome a fear response because the fire hasn’t burned you personally.

What does the app actually do? They call it an anti-fraud app, but I don’t understand what fraud it’s supposed to fight?

Beautiful. Very nice. Thanks for the feature, Xitter.

Don’t France’s special forces and government use the Graphene OS open source code for some of their systems? Sounds to me like they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Man, this just leaves out all the other systems they use for planes and ships to supplement and act as a redundancy for GPS.

I’m not saying that this is t a good idea. But the headline is bunk.

Tumblr still exists…
