These two together made me disable the YouTube app on my phone. Firefox is just a much better way to view YouTube.

Ok but LinkedIn and Facebook don't have a duty to broadcast what you want all over the internet.

They don't need consent not to share personal information, only to share it.

Polywork is when you get fucked by multiple bosses.

Because it operates on the data of UK residents.

The internet has made everything really weird in terms of jurisdictions. You can have photos of UK citizens taken in the UK and stored on a UK server, and if a company from somewhere else scrapes the data without permission and moves it out the UK, that doesn't obviously mean that it's now fine to use for whatever.

Now of course the law has to have some jurisdictional limits, but it's not surprising that there has been some disagreement about where they are.

Because the search index redirects the user to your site. The ai model just directly presents the data to the user without them having to go to your site, or in most cases, even knowing where the information is from.

The interesting bit is that it's members of the federalist society arguing that Trump shouldn't run.

Trump doesn't really understand law, and it's the federalists that provided him with a list of right-wing judges to pick from, and it's really federalists rather than Trump supporters who ended up capturing the supreme court.

Normally they're both extremely right-wing so the gap doesn't matter, but if the federalists turn on Trump you could see some supreme court judgements go against him.

Doom on the switch was amazing for this. I tried to play Doom eternal on the ps4, afterwards, and it was just such a disappointment because it didn't have gyro.

It might even be an actual death sentence.

It only takes one lunatic with a gun who takes the traitor rhetoric seriously to kill someone. And look how crazy they're getting with people not voting for a republican. Actually voting for a democrat would magnify that massively.

Stand by for the Tories to start claiming that labour is regressively taxing the poor who can't afford to upgrade their SUVs to electric.

Except that no one has the tile app, so it doesn't work with any reliability. On the other hand, there's an iPhone almost everywhere.

Tile is great for finding items next to your phone.

Airtags let you find items next to other people's phones.

Tile only works for tracking people if you slip the item in someone's pocket and then explicitly follow them. That's just normal stalking with an extra step.

I mean BMI is also useful for comparing individuals in certain instances. That's why doctor's use it.

It's a crappy measure, but it's good enough for a range of use. You just have to be thoughtful enough to say, yeah it's not going to work for this person.

I'm not anti BMI, I'm just opposed to people repeating statements like "BMI is useful to compare populations" which don't really mean anything.

You should have kept reading about BMI.

This isn't about speculative genertc factors it's about medical boards arguing that the thresholds need to be set differently for these populations.

Use lower BMI thresholds as a practical measure of overweight and obesity in people with a South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family background, as they are prone to central adiposity and their cardiometabolic risk occurs at lower BMI:

Similarly, new Zealand used to have higher thresholds for obesity for Maori and Polynesian (which includes Samoa), but because a range of issues including diabetes is such a problem for these populations they brought it back down. It still doesn't work reliably as a risk factor for a range of stuff.

It doesn't really work at that either.

You can't use it tell if soccer players are fatter on average than rugby players or if Japanese people are fatter than Samoans. Or even if men are fatter on average than women.

But these are population questions.

Did you have symptoms from low vitamin d, and how long did they take to resolve?

Garmin does that too if you want to buy something from a company that still exists.

No they're shit at that too.

Proof of ownership is this big complicated thing with lots of safeguards. If someone steals your title, you still own your car, and you can get this fixed.

If someone steals your nft, it's gone. The entire point of the Blockchain is there's no central authority that you can appeal to who will do the work to check that transactions are legitimate.

Anything that happened stays happened, unless the entire community explicitly roles back the Blockchain.

It's not copyright infringement. You can't copyright a style, which is basically what a voice amounts to.

This is something new. It's a way of taking something that we always thought of as belonging to a person, and using it without their permission.

At the moment the closest thing is trademark infringement, assuming you could trademark your personal identity (which you can't). The harms are basically the same, deliberately passing off something cheap or dodgy as if it was associated with a particular entity. Doesn't matter if the entity is Stephen fry or Pepsi Max.

This is shit he was doing more than ten years ago.

You can't blame this shit on lockdown, he's always been a failure of a human being, it's just now we're finding out details.

Because any detector has to be based on machine learning you can open source all code providing you keep model weights and training data private.

But there's a fundamental question here, that comes from Lemmy being federated. How can you give csam detecting code/binaries to every instance owner without trolls getting access to it?

Some instances will be run by trolls, and blackbox access is enough to create adversarial examples that will bypass the model, you don't need source code.
