Well that's a stinking heap of bullshit. False equivalence all through it, too.
Is this really how you think? "All traditional media lies to me, so I might as well go soak my head in all the YouTube influencer feeds, they certainly aren't lying to me"?
Fox and WaPo need to be sheared from their owners, and placed in the control of those that actually respect and crusade for quality journalism.
Oh, are they?
You're a gormless idiot. You believe anything the Hair Fuhrer and Muskrat claim without actually seeing the proof.
Even if they are telling the absolute truth? This is never, ever, ever ever ever the way to fix it. Never.
You identify issues. You develop a plan to fix them, you put the plan into motion and evaluate it.
This is just burning things to the ground and claiming they were bad people, and you're lapping it up like it was ambrosia.
Feckless fool.
That's what the independent watchdogs, Congressional oversight, audits and such are for.
There are well established processes and procedures for doing this, which are used in the accounting and business worlds.
None of that is being done here. You should be questioning much, much more of what you have been parroting.
Please. Like you're going to go look through it all yourself.
No, you're not, sit down. You're just going to trade someone telling you that it's all horrible and bad for someone telling you that it's all perfect and good now, and never have an inkling to what the actual state was and is.
You're half right.
A lot of businesses are doing it just to tick the box.
Meanwhile, Tesla. How much are they worth again?
People want these vehicles. They may not fit every use case, but people want them. And they fit the use case for 90% of commuters. Yes, you have a counter anecdote, you are the 10%, sit down.
Tesla and the Chinese are just going to have the rest of the US automakers for dinner. We'll see who survives.
Please go study "innuendo" and "plausible deniability". It was the same sort of speech that the Orange Man always uses, weasely double-talk that from the strictest reading wasn't anything bad. But to anyone with actual sense is painfully obvious what was going on. It's Budget Mafiosi stuff, like all the rest of his act.
How many different parameters, permissions, and properties need to be set to restrict access to a certain thing, though? Which ones apply to which? Which ones interact to cancel each other out and allow access anyway?
The first job of AI is to find all the places that access management is fucked up. That's it.
What a crock of shite.
Recall is a solution in search of a problem. The author is trying to find a problem. The more obvious one would be, "How do I automate the process of stealing every bit of IP my company has?"
It isn't secure. It can't be made secure. If it could be, the number of data breaches would be declining. They are accelerating at an accelerating pace.
The only way to prevent data being stolen is to make sure it's never collected in the first place. The author needs to be collected and put into detox, until they have all of the Kool-Aid out of their system.
Way to prove you didn't read the articles.
The first is quite plain if you bother to think critically about it.
1) Police are reviewing claims of election fraud they have received relating to "concerns around marketing material".
2) It comes after the Conservative candidate for High Peak in Derbyshire, Robert Largan, put out a social media post on Saturday in red Labour colours saying "Labour for Largan".
3) The Conservative Party said: “The materials clearly carry imprints, as required by electoral law."
So claims are being reviewed. The police have not said WHOSE marketing material is under investigation, but there is word there is one taking place. Robert Largan says he has not been contacted about it. That's it.
The second is the same.
"Right and far-right parties are set to make gains, but the picture is widely different across the continent."
And then it goes on to explore various concerns in a selection of the countries within the EU. Come on, now.
I would posit that the switch from typewriters to computers let you do the same thing the same way but better.
Mechanical linkage to electronics, the action of fingers to keys is the same.
So that doesn't really hit for me the same as saying, "We can replace this entire orchestra with a fondleslab."
As someone that was on a criminal trial to completion as a jurist, I can assure you that they do.
It may be in some certain situations, like how there can be a bench trial or jury trial. But where I am, at the county level the jury deliberates guilt, then sentencing within the guidelines. The judge can overrule, but if not grossly outside the provided range it stands.
To turn it the other way, did you just say "You should pay us money, even though we don't keep your private or payment information the slightest bit safe, and are looking into how we can sell it to drug makers without getting sued out of existence,"?
We wouldn't tolerate this from a store, you need to show cause on why we should tolerate it from facilities where we go when things actually are a matter of life and death.
Hi. As a human, I can understand, "Pedestrian was hit and propelled into the path of another vehicle." And I will bloody well see it happen. And I know to stop, check, see if I can reverse off them.
Not, you know, pull to the side while dragging them beneath. This is all basic kinematics and object persistence.
I hope not. The concept that, "The microphone that has the input at the highest amplitude s probably the closest and therefore the correct one" is classified as Fucking Duh, and should not be patentable. And no, nifty bits about normalizing and going between different mics doesn't make it novel. That's called calibration, and should be done in any device that provides amplitude.
Why does Sweden have some of the lowest excess mortality? They weren't idiots like USandians. They actually listened to their government, took some precautions, got vaccinated. The US? Much more scared of needles than guns.

The CDC said that when the size of the particles that transmitted the virus wasn't properly understood. Cloth masks helped. But they were not as effective as surgical masks, which were not as effective as N95 masks. If you had been paying attention, you would have seen the studies going on about propagation and droplet size and airflow modeling, trying to get a grip on the actual dynamics.
And you overlook the fact that people are not horses. Their weights are different. Their digestive systems are different. The actual composition of other ingredients in the doses are different.
Ivermectin basically is meant to be a dose big enough kill the parasites but hopefully not kill the host. How many influencers did we lose to Ivermectin, again?
Idiot.
If the rules said, "Any Device" and not "Any Camera", then either an organizer screwed up royally or this lad is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.
A photography competition should involve taken photographs. There should be nothing that comes out in that photo that did not go into the camera. Multiple exposure tricks count. Adjusting coloration and balance is fine. Painting in an AI generated skyline is a ban, because it did not go through the camera ostensibly used to take the photos. Skylum is trying to slip this kind of thing into Luminar, and I do not approve of it at all.
It's really so much simpler than Mr Look At Me was trying to make it seem.
