People in free countries dont have data protection so im not at all surprised that people in an occupied territory during a war are being survelied on unencrypted services like txt and call.

This is is so low down on the list of isreal bad things to care about. Strike people based on call information thats fine at least you’re targeting based on some intel.

As for Microsoft storing the data, they are intentionally complicit but what can be done? They’re one of the Largest companies in the world.

Processing 200million hours of audio data is pretty neat though. I’d love to read a write up from the engineers working on that. I Imagine voice to text Arabic is probably pretty bad and you dont want to have to go over that kind of data twice.

Its anecdotal at best. Its like if someone was saying “we should give kids school lunch so they preform better at school” and then I replied “I didnt have school lunch and I got top my class” you’d think ok that changes nothing.

There is a lot of research to support the idea that adults are less likely to pick up a skill if they weren’t exposed to it as a kid. If you dont grow up working with technology to make things you’re less likely to go down that route as an adult or late teen. Thats a huge disadvantage in today’s age.

Uh ok mate thanks for your life story. Did computers even exist when you were in the 12th grade?

I fail to see how this is at all relevant to kids in the modern age being kept away from technology. Not having technology access today is completely different to 30 years ago.

Even if we pretend your experience is related id say you were a statical outlier. Most people who are not shown how to use technology will not become adept at using it. Thats why we try and introduce kids to a wide range of things in schooling.

The kids with technology are creating things earlier and earlier, recently a 16 year old made a game that took the record from fortnite for most concurrent players 21million. Growing up with access to technology opens them to an entire world of inspiration and I think if its managed by parents its a powerful tool that I’d never want my kids missing.

Who is this person and why should we care about their opinions on this? Not intending this in a mean way, just if theyre like a behaviour scientist It would change how I read the article.

Artificially restricting your child from having a phone only makes them less prepared for the world. Think of all the kids who grew up without a computer and now they have no idea how they work and can’t do basic tasks.

The middleground is a phone locked down with parental controls.

I think they gained root to the python env which they couldn’t do anything with because it was still running in docker inside a VM.

• According to a smart sounding fella on hacker news.

What’s drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?

Inside me there are two tech nerds. One is optimistic towards new tech and has the clanka pass. The other is kicking the dominos robot calling it a clanker

I never would never have expected them to be using China based engis on defence systems thats wild. No wonder they got cooked by salt typhoon.

I think if you’re someone who really enjoys watching movies and likes watching multiple times then buying media is absolutely the way to go. But most people turn their brain off and just zone out to whatever.

For music I’d there is way more of a case for buying media to be the dominant way to consume music since your always listening to music over and over.

Ngl buying movies and TV shows is way worse than paying to stream them. If you buy them you’re left with a library of movies and shows youve already seen.
