News@lemmy.world•“Puppygirl Hacker Polycule” Leaks Over 8,500 Privatized Police Files and Training Manuals
9·29 days agoThis is old, the lexipol docs are out there, you can find them pretty easily. They’re not a terribly interesting read, the training manuals are obviously the kinda thing you could enter into a court case so they’re very sterile. There are some interesting bits though, namely some departments have the forms to get subscriber info from the major cellular carriers appended to the back which suggests they like to send those off a lot. Long story short though, to have to be ready to read between the lines a lot.
I unfortunately work with AI and actually understand how it works. It’s going to replace workers the same way that cocaine replaces workers.
It’ll make some knowledge workers moderately more productive but that excess will be absorbed like with any other tool and we’ll just do more shit as a society at the expense of continuing to destroy the environment.
Once the bubble bursts and things calm down there will probably be some job growth as the economy figures out how to better utilize these new tools. It’s like if you invented a machine that could frame 60% of a house and brilliantly declared you’d fire all the framers but then realized you’re now building a lot of houses and need more framers than before to finish the remaining 40%.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be prepared for winter weather.
10·4 months agoFuck it, I’ll upvote this, see you guys in CECOT, I call top bunk.
That said, I do think we’re at the point where we need an armed anti ice protest/QRF to send the message that this isn’t acceptable.
He gets all the parking tickets for NA citizens parking like that
Idk if people are aware, but this is the original concept for the car. It was designed to be short enough to fit into parking spots sideways deliberately.

World News@lemmy.world•White House demands British supermarkets stock chlorinated chickenEnglish
1·4 months agoIIRC it’s not just hormones it’s bleached because we consider chicken with salmonella to still be fit for consumption. Our farming processes are so bad that we have to bleach the chicken to attempt to mitigate the hearth hazard.

Technology@lemmy.zip•AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarinesEnglish
0·4 months agoAircraft carriers don’t use reactor grade, they use HEU for more power out of smaller more compact reactors and less frequent refueling. IIRC 93%+ is common.

141·4 months agoCurrently Anubis seems to be the standard for slowing down scrapers
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis
There are also various poison and tarpit systems which will serve scrapers infinite garbage text or data designed to aggressively corrupt the models they’re training. Basically you can be as aggressive as you want. Your site will get scraped and incorporated into someone’s model at the end of the day, but you can show them down and make it hurt.

Technology@lemmy.world•Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search ItEnglish
11·4 months agoIt should be noted for the record, if you ever have to use your duress code, do it before you hand the device over, don’t offer it up to them, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
If you have time, turn the phone back on and you’ll get a “recovery” screen asking to do a factory reset. Select this and let it boot back to the setup screen then turn it off again. It’s now in a state where, if you remembered to shut the fuck up, they’ll have a much harder time proving that you destroyed evidence and didn’t just hand over a device you hadn’t setup yet, as is a somewhat common (good) practice with border crossings.
As with all things you may have to depend on, ideally you should test this flow. Carefully make a backup, verify the backup integrity, then use the duress pin ensuring that everything works the way you expected.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is it possible to host a lemmy instance over I2P?English
5·5 months agoI think in theory you could do it if you had a separate relay, you might only need one for the entire I2P Lemmy community. The relay would always be exposed to some degree but it’s just a relay so it’s not going to attract too much attention, especially if the operators were smart and didn’t sync spicy communities to the clear net
I always love these AI generated “interesting looking objects”.
What we have here is some plastic, aluminum or pot-metal frame with a piece of obviously fake suede screwed to it with undersized screws so that it’ll rip off at the slightest provocation. It then has some sort of shitty OLED display crammed inside of it for…reasons?
Depends on your goals and your threat model. Tails is kinda 80% “I think a TLA will kick down my door or take my computer at the border physically” or you want to use untrusted hardware and 20% “I want to avoid online tracking”. If you’re worried about online tracking only it might not be the place to start out.

Technology@lemmy.ml•AI Is still making code worse: A new CMU study confirms
2·5 months agoYeah, I do believe it’s a good tool for search, just with the caveat that if it can’t find an answer it makes one up or otherwise kinda just fills in little missing details with noise.

Technology@lemmy.ml•AI Is still making code worse: A new CMU study confirms
21·5 months agoThe LLMs are just somewhere between an averaging and a lossy compression of everything on GitHub. There’s nothing about the current paradigm of “AI” that is going to somehow do better than just rehashing that training set but with the inclusion of various classes of errors.
I think it’s better to view it as spicy search rather than any form of intelligence.
