Kyle Jamieson, expert in wireless systems, has been named a Fellow of the IEEE.

He has been recognized for "contributions to indoor localization and sensing, and physics-inspired wireless network design.”

Jamieson's research uses classical, quantum and physics-inspired computation to expand efficiency of wireless systems to meet increasing demand for connectivity.

In case you missed it...

Yes, my ex boss Jon Davis of SecureNation did make it clear to me, over and over, that he doesn't care if I live or die.

I've seen through the grapevine that their "Criticality" show now has two new hosts, they even got rid of Chip Harris. Or, he quit.

That's about 6 weeks into the show's existence. And no episode has had more than 100 or so viewers.

Jon Davis is literally deciding to not pay some people for their work (I was one of them), so he can spend money on marketing the show.

If you are a human who values being paid for your work and not being replaced by a planet killing bot, do not watch "Criticality."

I am in talks with a couple of companies about writing whitepapers.

But I'm not going to be able to make my rent this month. I have bought zero Christmas presents.

Jon Davis of SecureNation is a literal Ebeneezer Scrooge.

So, please help me out: (My Ko-fi) ko-fi.com/kimatstopgenai

And here is my story:

Am I rude or am I remarkably patient for someone being told non-stop that I don’t deserve to be alive? (On the Gen AI clankers who would be happy to see us dead)

I’m a professor literally risking my own life to fight the menace of Gen AI destroying education. You can help me live and fight…
https://stopgenai.com/im-a-professor-literally-risking-my-own-life-to-fight-the-menace-of-gen-ai-destroying-education-you-can-help-me-live-and-fight/

(I have citations for all of this...)

Gen AI is:

Accelerating environmental destruction. Burning down forests, draining lakes, polluting the air of poor people who live near datacenters, possibly causing lots of them cancer, and also making electricity way too expensive for most households.

Replacing good, reliable information on the internet with slop that's rarely accurate.

Exposing children to pornography, even in Gen AI implementations that are intended for children, such as Gen AI teddy bears.

Conversely, making it way easier for "PDF files" to make CSAM. And making it easier for attackers to make deep fake videos for more effective phishing.

Last night, @crazy4pi314Dr. Sarah Kaiser and I hit "go" on posting a draft charter for the rereading Project.

After Calibre betrayed readers and writers alike, it's clear to me that something as essential as personal archival of book libraries should not be a burden placed on a single individual — my hope is that by starting with the governance, we can build enough robustness to support a long-term Calibre fork.

@Em0nM4stodonEm Hear, hear! I can do most things faster "by hand" than by trying to get "help" from AI. Just give me paper and writing/drawing tools!

Engelbart's demo is well worth checking out. SRI has a nice 5 minute highlight cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6rKUf9DWRI

Xerox PARC developers cite him as a direct inspiration for the Xerox Star (http://toastytech.com/guis/star.html) and Alto, which in turn famously inspired Apple and Microsoft.

In the other direction, the chain goes to Vannevar Bush's Memex (https://history-computer.com/products/memex-guide/), and from there to early 20th century concepts such as Paul Otlet's Répertoire bibliographique universel: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9pertoire_bibliographique_universel

Eine breite Mehrheit im Gemeinderat hat heute in #Freiburg den Oberbürgermeister @freiburgStadt Freiburg aufgefordert, einen Antrag nach dem in Ba-Wü im Oktober in Kraft getretenen kommunalen Regelungsbefreiungsgesetz zu stellen, um sich von der #Bezahlkarte für Geflüchtete befreien zu lassen. "Eine Befreiung nach dem KommRegBefrG würde es der Stadt dagegen ermöglichen, im Sinne des Gesetzgebers vereinfachte, ressourcenschonende und integrationsfreundlichere Verfahren
zu erproben. Damit würde Freiburg nicht gegen die landespolitische Linie handeln, sondern vielmehr genau jene Innovations- und Entlastungsfunktion wahrnehmen, für die das KommRegBefrG geschaffen wurde." Jetzt kann @RegierungBWLandesregierung BW
