A long time ago when the whole “should we cctv everything” idea was new and controversial I recall an interview or something with a london police chief, at the time the most cctved city. He admitted that cctv didnt help them stop crime or catch more criminals. He still wanted more cctv though. I think about that every now and then when there is another ‘our surveillance tech actually does not work but we want more of it’ story

Well here thankfully the fight is over (today it was, tomorrow it will be something else, no wait our fasc doesn’t work the weekends, monday it will be) the crisis of not having enough prison cells, which they wanted to fix by letting people with sentences of less than a year out 2 weeks earlier. Which caused a rift between the party ‘member’(*) who wanted to do it and the fuhrer Wilders (whos negative reaction on this was published via twitter of course).

*: Technically Wilders party has only one member, Wilders.

Damn you! Still a monitor from 2008, it had a good run.

Thankfully im not American. Checks Dutch news ow fuck our fasc is also infighting

Rest of my electronics have survived so very likely. Guess it got confused as I’m also looking for new glasses and went "dont pick one of those*

Fun fact, I looked at that article. And my monitor exploded. No joke. I was in sudden darkness, and the mains were turned off. Pc survived thankfully, and I have a secondary monitor but lol wtf. (I need to go to bed).

Yeah very much whoever wins we lose. We should just build a large trebuchet and fire them all into the sun. But sadly the gov does nothing.

Yeah good point on the blockchain tech split vs actual cryptocurrencies. Esp considering the stories some of the exchanges basically did away with the blockchain for internal trades.

According to some roblox wiki also the richest person (in roblox). So wonder if it is libertarian goes monarchist.

Sorry, misread your tone.

So the far right people are already infighting each other with disinformation. Now they are accusing others of being part of the USAID thing. See this tweet by I,hypocrite (lporiginalg) (Note the guy is a bad guy (an anti-Semite for example), so this is fasc on fasc action).

"So let me get this straight…

Vaush

Aella

Richard Hanania

James Lindsay

Were all funded by USAID? WHO ELSE?

<community note pointing out this isn’t true>"

They are coming for you Aella, hope you have an exit strategy (Just saying: Publicly burning bridges, and dropping the chatlogs of others would create a lot of goodwill on the anti-fascist side, and would be a good first step in rebuilding trust with some people (even if for a lot this cannot be regained)).

Perhaps using a lot of lying shitheads to get political clout is a bad idea, as even when you are in power, they will not stop lying (and being shitheads).

The rise of ransomware and cryptocurrencies sadly are linked.

I had a recent conversation with someone who was convinced that machines learn when they regurgitate text, because “that is what humans do”.

But we know the tech behind these models right? They dont change their weights when they produce output right? You could have a discussion if updating the values is learning, but it doesnt even do that right? (Feeding the questions back into the dataset used to train them is a different mechanic)

Good point, had not even thought of that. Shows how badly they are at understanding the people they are against. Reminds me how they went, a while back going after the military for actually reading the ‘woke’ literature. Only the military was doing it explicitly so they would understand their enemies, so they could stop them.

I was already assuming the pc word list would spread to other subjects.

Minor note, but Musk wears that jacket everywhere, even at a suit and tie dinner with Trump. I don’t get how Trump (if my assumptions on him wanting to be seen as a certain type of having class/higher society type) stands him. Looking at the picture, he might be having second thoughts all the time.

Victim and Unjust are also there, which lawyers prob love to never be able to use.

“De <space> colonized” is also on there, that will give some interesting problems when automated filters for this hit Dutch texts (De means the).

E: there are so many other words on there like victim, and unjust, and equity, this will cause so many dumb problems. And of course if you go on the first definition of political correct (‘you must express the party line on certain ideas or be punished’) they created their own PC culture. (I know pointing out hypocrisy does nothing, but it amuses me for now).

Mein gott…

Compared to the hacker baseline that is odd indeed.
