Now do PM and VOC levels at petrol stations.

Then PM and VoC levels on roads entirely occupied by combustion vehicles, and entirely occupied by electric vehicles.

Ditto.

But I manage a team of embedded developers. On a specialised commercially restricted embedded platform.

AI does not know a thing about our tech. The stuff it does know is either a violation of the vendors contractual covenants or made up bullshit. And Our vendor’s documentation is supplemented by a cumulative decades of knowledge.

Yet still “you gotta use AI”.

While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done

Bet the AI can’t see through this.

Taking a line from our Australian friends

fuck off, we’re full (of rich cunts)

Not quite the same. But my NAS does files. That’s it.

Everything else is hosted elsewhere.

I bet there would be a carve out for anything particularly unsafe, like high voltage equipment or whatever.

Cue: the new Braun toothbrush, now with a 450v battery system for ultimate cleaning power.

Coupled with the image, I read it as”outside after work drinks”.

“Okay. Everyone went inside?”

This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

Why a second? Your first couldn’t have been any more than 5 years old.

This isn’t foolproof.

The same car might be manufactured in multiple factories for multiple markets, to multiple levels of certification.

Your “new car” in one country, could be the previous years European model if the euro regs have changed.

This is the reason I haven’t given it a chance.

Not that I’m unwilling, but with no common hardware, I’m reluctant to go out and buy something.

I can go buy a pinephone for postmarket, but won’t work for sailfish. I can get an Xperia for sailfish, but I’m out of luck for postmarket.

Not to mention, I’m reluctant to drop a chunk of cash on aged hardware, whose successor doesn’t look to be as well supported.

VW can’t use the factories they have.

The year is 2050 2026. The suburban streets, once a place where kids could be seen playing are now devoid of life. The shouts and laughter of children gone.

They have been replaced by roving bands of cyber trucks, carrying mail and parcels for the residents. Honking outside homes to goad the occupants to collect their mail.

But they do not. For they know if they leave their homes, they may be identified as tarmac and run down by the self driving AI.

This is the new world order. This is DOGE.

I had an idea a while ago on how you could lightly regulate social media platforms.

Require them to:

• Group users into cohorts of a size greater than X. ie, individual level targeting isn’t allowed. The higher this number the better.
• make available to users the cohort they are in
• publish openly every single cohort and their size
• make it possible to view feeds as if you were in a specific cohort.

Will this stop them funnelling customers into rabbit holes? No, probably not.

But it would make “targeted indoctrination” harder as they would have to try and indoctrinate multiple people at once. And it would make it more transparent just how many people are being fed propaganda or whatever you want to call it.

But can it run a degoogled Android rom well?

Ah silly us.

We spent a decade hating on IE, it’s slowness, poor support for any standards, plugins that fuck your shit up, etc.

But it was obviously the best because it had that huge market share.

Could you imagine the enshittification cries if they did this. “Mozilla to add subscription model to your browser”.

They have other products that have subscriptions you can pay for to support the company.

Instead of using Mullvad, use Mozilla VPN (it is literally exactly the same, you just pay Mozilla not Mullvad)
