What's the idpol angle on this? This seems more like a "return to monke" story.
Dudes built a secret tunnel to an abandoned building, as one does, and Big Government came to step on them. They'll do that to anybody, not just Hasids.
Peacock streaming network going to shut down.
Is there a standards body web developers should rely on, which suggests requiring MFA for every account? OWASP, for example, only recommends requiring it for administrative users, but for giving regular users the option without requiring it.
There’s some positives to requiring MFA for all users, but like any decision there’s trade offs. How can we throw 23andme under the bus when they were compliant with industry best practices?
i think that’s the core issue. Whatever kind of sewage system you have is going to be a source of entertainment for some people
dual redundancy for every organ, and the ability for a damaged or removed organ to grow back.
the volume of actual AI misinformation is going to pale in comparison to the volume of people trying to use AI misinformation as a boogeyman to scare you into voting a certain way.
Hah, all the drama over Tesla issuing automatic updates and calling them “recalls”… at least they’re able to update their software.
Dang, I’ll try to avoid crashing until after the update is installed.
Obesity modeled as a disease that should be treated with drugs like Ozempic. I’ll buy that it’s like that for some very small set of people, but I can’t shake the assumption that drug companies are exaggerating so they can sell more, and most of their customers are just too lazy to try proper diet and exercise.
Hmm, yeah I just recently switched to voyager from mlem; but I spoke too soon. Same thing happened with programming.dev, so must just be a Voyager thing.
A better solution, experts say, would be to require Tesla to use cameras to monitor drivers’ eyes to make sure they’re watching the road. Some Teslas do have interior-facing cameras. But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.
In case you were wondering who wrote the article
hmm, yeah a big scaled up iPad UI isn’t going to be great on a desktop. It’s kinda optimized for touch input.
As an aside, since I switched to Voyager, I’ve noticed it has trouble staying logged in to this instance. Not sure if that’s a bug on your end or theirs, but it stays logged in to programming.dev pretty consistently, so something different going on over there.
Tesla told the woman that it could not remove her husband’s access to the car’s technology because his name remained on the vehicle’s title as a co-owner, along with hers, according to records she filed in her lawsuit.
This sounds like a problem courts needed to resolve, not Tesla. They don't reasonably know which spouse has legal possession of the car.
I just switched to the Voyager iOS client and am enjoying it. If they have a reasonable desktop client, I like that too.
Maybe you can make pull requests to get flares included in the iOS app too.
Every tech demo ever is fake, with the possible exception of the original Cybertruck demo, but I suspect even that one just wasn’t faked very well.
Subjective biases can play a huge part in stuff like this. The researchers behind this story had to go through a bunch of YouTube channels and determine whether they constitute extremist right wing content or not.
I think it’s a safe assumption that if you took the people consuming that content and asked them whether the video they just watched was right wing extremist content, most of them would say no.
So, it’s possible that you don’t think you’re being overwhelmed with right wing extremist content, but that somebody else looking at your viewing history might think you are.
The golden rule is that all documentation is out of date. Trust but verify etc.
The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.
What are the reasons for this apparent AI gender gap, and should it be a concern?
GERMANY: Students At University of Augsburg Call For “Gloryholes” To Be Installed In Lecture Halls, Cite Benefit To Queer Community
Somebody did a little trolling
Opponents argued that pausing the requirement devalues an Oregon diploma. The state board said the requirement has been an inequitable hurdle and a misuse of state tests.
> leaders at the Oregon Department of Education and members of the state school board said requiring all students to pass one of several standardized tests or create an in-depth assignment their teacher judged as meeting state standards was a harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students, a misuse of state tests and did not translate to meaningful improvements in students’ post high school success
‘America does not deserve me.’ Why Black people are leaving the United States
> Often referred to as “Blaxit,” which combines the words “Black” and “exit,” the movement has been boosted by social media, where influencers share inspirational posts about their odysseys abroad and challenge others to join them.
...
> Many of those who are leaving are trying to escape their American-ness — yet are also having to confront the power of their dollars and what Wright calls “passport privilege.”
After 2021 claims of mass graves of indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, leading to widespread protests, excavations have turned up no human remains.
> After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.
...
> A number of writers, academics and politicians like Rouillard have come out cautioning against the claim that hundreds or thousands of children are buried at the school, but they have been labeled “genocide deniers” — even though many of the skeptics do not dispute that conditions at the schools were often harsh.
Florida school district officials apologized Thursday for an elementary school assembly in which Black students were singled out for a presentation on low test scores.
Bunnell Elementary staff members last Friday pulled Black fourth- and fifth-graders out of their regularly scheduled activities to attend a PowerPoint presentation about low standardized test scores. The presentation led by two Black teachers noted that Black students had underperformed on standardized tests for the past three years. They also discussed how students with higher grades had a better chance of going to college, while those with lower grades had a higher chance of going to jail, getting shot or getting killed, parents told The Daytona Beach News-Journal.
How to flair up
One thing I miss most about PCM at reddit was the need to flair up. Is there an equivalent here?
I ran through the political compass test and took a screenshot of my result to use as my user avatar. Is there a better way?
Reem's bakery in San Francisco recently denied service to an armed police officer. The police aren't happy.
Reem's did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Sunday, but the bakery chain did post a statement to Instagram Friday that said that it strives to "foster an environment of safety for our staff and customers."
A “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) presentation given at London, Ontario’s Western University says merit, racial colour blindness cause ‘microaggressions’
According to the presentation, examples of “microaggressions” include telling someone, “I believe the most qualified person should get the job [and] when I look at you, I don’t see colour.”
Study finds that labeling meals ‘vegan’ makes people less likely to choose them
It would appear that while it may be convenient for some, a vegan label isn't always such a good thing.
A recent study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) indicates that meat-eaters are far less likely to choose plant-based meals when they’re described using the word “vegan.”
The song is a provocative collection of reactionary attacks on the poor, disguised with phony populist appeals and denunciations of “rich men” in northern cities.
