  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

    Jump

  • Also, I tried plugging the patch cable directly into my own wifi router and nothing.

    The router would need to be explicitly configured to connect to your account on the network, which would require certain information provided by the ISP, which it sounds like they weren't going to provide.

  • Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores

    Jump

  • Yes, but also no. Plenty of people will buy and read these books and watch AI slop movies. Everyone can cook healthy meals at home, and many do, but there's still a big market for fast food restaurants and prepackaged microwave meals.

  • False Testimony Sent Tony Carruthers to Death Row. Tennessee Is About to Kill Him.

    Jump

  • Reminds me of a case many many years ago. A guy had been in prison for decades. Science finally caught up and DNA evidence proved he was innocent. The prosecutor for the case, who now happened to be the state Attorney General, doubled down, essentially saying "the case was already tried, he was found guilty, end of story." Even once the public got wind of it and there was a huge outcry, it still took forever for the AG to budge. Downright fucking evil.

  • Empty rooms and Fifa cancellations - US hotels fear World Cup washout

  • OpenAI now wants ChatGPT to access your bank accounts

    Jump

  • Relevant Tangent:

    When you try to link two financial accounts (in the US) for the purpose of transferring money from one to the other, and the originating financial institution offers, or in many cases now outright insists you use Plaid (a third party company) to make the connection..

    YSK you're giving Plaid permanent access to all of your financial records on the target account. They can immediately download your entire history and go back whenever they want to get an update.

    Sometimes they obfuscate that they're even using Plaid, so here's how to tell.

    If they "inconveniently" ask for routing and account numbers, and tell you that they're going to make two small deposits into the target account and that you need to watch for those deposits in the next few days and then come back and enter how much those deposits were to verify that it's your account, then that is NOT Plaid. This is the version you want!

    If, however, they "conviently" jump to a window for you to log into the target account to instantly make the connection, THAT'S Plaid. Once you enter your login info, you've just given Plaid permission to paw through your account history and come back to rummage for more whenever they'd like.

  • 'Wanna see my beetle?'

  • Yes!

    Oh, wait. You weren't asking us.

    Dammit.

  • Mangroves discovered on Korean shores, signaling warming climate

    Jump

  • These plants are the primary architects of "blue carbon" sinks, coastal ecosystems that can sequester carbon at rates up to three times higher than terrestrial forests.

    I don't think plants of any type should be called carbon sinks. It gives people the false idea that trees are some kind of solution to carbon released by burning fossil fuels. That carbon is just going to go back into the atmosphere when the tree dies and decays.

    If it's not shoving the carbon back underground for hundreds of thousands of years, it's, at best, a carbon bucket on a wobbly table.

    Maybe, if you believe they're actually autonomous and not just being secretly driven remotely.

  • Canadian fiddler sues Google after AI deemed him a sex offender

    Jump

  • “If a human spokesperson made these false allegations on Google’s behalf, a significant award of punitive damages would be warranted. Google should not have lesser liability because the defamatory statements were published by software that Google created and controls.”

  • They are very concerned about that data,” he said. “They need to be convinced that the data is protected

    The only way you protect the data from a future wannabe authoritarian dictator is for the data to not exist in the first place.

  • Trump Cancels Kushner-Witkoff Trip as Iran Suggests US Not 'Truly Serious About Diplomacy'

    Jump

  • Several commenters here seem to be reading the headline backwards.

    US Not ‘Truly Serious About Diplomacy’

    as demonstrated by

    Trump Cancels Kushner-Witkoff Trip

    It's Iran accusing the US of not being serious, not the other way around.

  • 'Why does he keep speaking English to me?' Chinese woman scolds AirAsia crew for not speaking Mandarin

    Jump

  • But, I mean, English already has a word for that (bigoted).

    Having, and properly using, different words for even slightly different concepts is important for efficient and effective communication. If everyone just starts lazily using one word to mean multiple similar concepts, when other words already exist for those concepts, then that just leads to misunderstandings and confusion.

    I understand that non-native speakers may not yet have the vocabulary necessary to use the correct words, but that's an opportunity for them to learn the correct words, not an excuse to dumb down the language.
