Yes ugh — my Volvo is badgering me about a software update that folks online after only exacerbates the back-up camera lag.

Genocidal military drops charges against genocidal rapist soldiers doing the genocide they ordered it to do?!

Every member of the team stood silently, facing straight ahead, during the anthem prior to kick-off in their Group A match against South Korea, who went on to win 3-0 at the Gold Coast Stadium in Queensland. Iran’s head coach, Marziyeh Jafari, and her players declined to comment on either the war or the death of their long-serving leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, when asked by the media.

Sounds difficult to tell exactly what they are communicating, but certainly they are drawing attention / scrutiny to the situation.

I’ve been enjoying FairEmail. Nice to have options like ‘would you like to remove sensitive data before attaching this image’ instead of ‘do you wish you could turn off this AI bloat’.

Like I said, working on it. But you know, this evening do I try to dismantle ICE, cook dinner, play a game, or research email providers? Lots of competing priorities in life, let’s celebrate the wins.

Thanks. Yes, Google had been evil for a long time, probably before they removed “don’t be evil.” No, let’s not be gatekeepers.

The AI picked through the pictures taken by the drone pilots pixel by pixel, looking for anything that might look out of place on the mountainside. The software identified dozens of potential anomalies from a large number of photographs in a matter of hours.

The selection, however, still needed to be whittled down with some human expertise.

“The software could react to different things, like a piece of plastic garbage or an unusually coloured rock,” says Isola. “It can even hallucinate some things. So, we still had to narrow it down further by taking into consideration the path that Ivaldo, as a very skillful climber, might have used.”

Interesting process. “AI” as a term gets so overused, but in this instance I think they’re really talking about image neural net processing.

This other one mentioned sounds like just image processing:

Other software that searches for unusually coloured pixels in natural landscapes – developed by the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association in the UK – has been used to locate the body of a missing hillwalker in Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands in 2023.

Or is it ML, not AI?

The key is to keep training the machine learning systems that power these algorithms to improve their accuracy in different types of terrain and conditions, says Tomasz Niedzielski, an expert in geoinformatics at the University of Wrocław and leader of the team that developed the SARUAV software.

Overall interesting process but could be a lot more specific about the technology.

Someone shared a closer view on Reddit. Utterly sickening. He could easily have stepped to the side in the time it took him to square in front of the care, aim, and fire into her face.

From Reddit, photo of the agent just after he shot her:

Edit: Now identified as Jonathan Ross, murderer, by the Star Tribune.

Like any abuser.

There’s a lot of distinction around intent in US law: premeditated, 1st degree, manslaughter (as you brought up) v homicide.

And laws are often written in blood: if something is happening enough people want to curtail it, make more law/punishment. So this just recognizes that femicide has been a particular problem.

Is a woman losing her life worse than a man? Not inherently. Does Italy need a more severe deterrent for targeting women lethally than other cases? Sounds like.

From NASA, used by earth.org:

Read that as “septic think tank.”

And keep, like, 1 of their promises.

Why are the US and UK governments so against anti -Israel priests? It seems like more than generic “down with democracy and liberals,” or fascist ruler buddies looking out for each other, or the IDF training police. Is there a direct line of profit and/or power from Israel to the US and UK?

There’s an entertaining (somewhat NSFW though mostly quoting Trump) European take on a MAGA revision to Disney classics.
