All that fucking bullshit about”HORSES” and for what?

Originally this post was going to be about Saltsea Chronicles, Die Gute Fabrik's beautiful 2023 game about conversation and community after the end of the world, but instead everyone decided to be real fucking stupid about another video game: HORSES, by Italian studio Santa Ragione. The game has been banned from both Steam and the Epic Games Store…

Das Fediverse stirbt langsam

Wir können in den letzten Monaten einen deutlichen Rückgang der aktiven Nutzenden feststellen. Doch was genau sind die Gründe dafür und was können wir dagegen tun?

I'm a member of the Boulder Valley School District's "District Accountability Committee" or DAC. Each school in the district has a representative that meets once a month at district headquarters to hash out policy, budget, and other recommendations to the school board.

At last night's DAC meeting, during the Q&A period following our Superintendent's briefing (in which he brought up the ongoing problem of kids vaping in school bathrooms), I mentioned an amazing talk I saw at this past @defcon #DEFCON33 called "Unmasking the Snitch Puck: The creepy IoT surveillance in the school bathroom" - video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCnojaEpF2I

You see, New Vista High School, which just opened a brand new building, has installed these devices, called a Halo 3C Smart Sensor, in all the bathrooms and elsewhere inside the school building, and has made a measurable impact reducing the number of vaping-in-school incidents. But, as I told superintendent Anderson, the sensor itself brings along with it some seriously problematic security vulnerabilities, in addition to the undocumented capabilities that the researchers in the talk exploited.

The superintendent's response to that made the whole room bust out laughing: "Andrew, you never fail to bring to my attention things that scare the hell out of me" - to which I responded, literally my job, Rob. It's why they call it "Threat Research" my guy.

This is why every community board, council, committee, etc. needs a thoughtful hacker present, to relay important information like this to policy implementers and policy makers who just don't keep up with this space.

"The Dutch government has quietly removed #Google #tracking tools from job listings for its intelligence services over concerns that the data would expose aspirant spies to U.S. #surveillance," according to POLITICO.

"The intervention would put an end to Google’s processing of the data of job seekers interested in applying to #spy service jobs, after members of parliament in The Hague raised security concerns." 💥

The conventional wisdom says that if you want to sell software the Mac is the best platform because Mac users would be willing to pay a premium for a well-designed application. Linux would be the worst platform because most Linux would rather tolerate a poorly designed free application than pay for a well designed app.

Is this true?

“日本で暮らしてきたクルド人の男性（トルコ国籍）が、突然トルコに強制送還された。3カ月に1度、東京出入国在留管理局（東京入管、港区）に出向いた日に、家族に連絡することもできないままだった。”

昨年比で倍増らしい。条件付けて認めるのは癪だが例えば2025年時点で家族がいる人は対象から除外とかできないものなのか。

Ah yes, it's december, the time of year when all big tech companies try to make their surveillance seem cute by showing stats of all the stuff they know about you.

@mcc if we consider that a triple describes allowances in the way a program is conveyed, none-none-none, to me, is "universal animal gestures" (that being is the most generic thing you can talk to and way you can talk to something). thus, i think i routinely produce and send none-none-none programs to like. cats. and other small animals. and they execute them more often than not

『弊社ではAIを活用してﾄﾞｯﾀﾗｺｯﾀﾗ』が何かあった時の責任逃れのﾂｰﾙになるとか思っとんなよ
必要な人的資源を配分しとらんだけやろがそんなもん

AIでの政策決定with責任は誰も取らない方式は実際に弊職場はそうなりつつあるんだよね。ヒトが決めると起こる不具合を概ね解消できてる。

まだAIが出した分析や方針をどうやって解消していくかの采配とかリソースの調達の部分でヒトが責任を取る場面は多いので戦場が変わっただけとも言えるかもしれないが。

AIの現実的な使われ方、目的が責任の所在を曖昧にすることになってるのはイスラエルのパレスチナ侵略において攻撃目標と攻撃方法の選定にAIが使われたという話の時に書いた。そして前職場での意思決定でも同じことがあった。

『具体的には、AIシステムが利用規約やガイドラインに照らして案件内容を審査。問題がないと判断した案件は公開される。だが懸念があると判断した案件は保留され、専門スタッフが目視確認を行い、公開・非公開の最終判断を下している』

ほう？

『今回批判が出た案件は、AIシステムが禁止事項に結びつくものと判断できず、結果的に公開されたという。』

Five years ago Twitter was still just Twitter, and on this particular day in 2020 I was locked out *again* from my account. Fun times.

This incident was later explained to me as a user error by Twitter admins! Some details here: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/12/15/how-my-twitter-hijacks-happened/

Just found out about MCC codes

TIL that there is a very nice, free PDF book called “Conway’s Game of Life: Mathematics and Construction” that systematically introduces common structures and patterns and discusses how to reason about their behaviour.

It’s beautifully typeset with tons of diagrams. Well worth a look.
