L'esercito svizzero ha rescisso il contratto con Palantir Technologies Inc. a seguito di un audit di sicurezza.
L'indagine ha concluso che le agenzie di intelligence USA potrebbero accedere a dati sensibili della difesa svizzera, un fattore decisivo per la nazione alpina, imperniata sulla neutralità. Si tratta di un segnale devastante per la reputazione dell'azienda di analisi dati, con potenziali effetti a catena su altre partnership internazionali.

OK, that's concerning. Got a message from the police that tell me about a new register for my weapons.
I don't have any weapons!? What?

Lo EDPB e il #GarantePrivacy europeo (GEPD) sostengono la semplificazione e la competitività, ma sollevano al contempo preoccupazioni fondamentali
Alcune modifiche proposte al GDPR e all'EUDPR sollevano notevoli preoccupazioni in quanto potrebbero influire negativamente sul livello di protezione di cui godono gli individui, creare incertezza giuridica e rendere più difficile l'applicazione della normativa sulla protezione dei dati.

Yes, [AI] represents a significant shift in how we build software, it moves us further away from how the underlying stuff actually works, but the benefits exceed the risks.
I don't know about that last one. If it weren't for the numerous massive externalities the current crop of AI currently has, it might have been easier to argue for it, but in the current situation, I don't think it's that clear-cut.
Of course it's easier to clump the people who are concerned about these never-before-seen externalities with the people who are averse to change in their craft in order to dismiss both wholesale.
@Liam Proven Also the difference between AI and the entirety of the technologies mentioned in this article is that machine learning (of which LLMs are an outcrop) is deliberately designed to obscure its inner working. It is a feature that makes it incredibly effective to reach its goal, but as a result even machine learning experts cannot explain how a system produced a given outcome, by design.
So "nobody can't understand everything" as a hand-waving for AI is terribly reductionist. We voluntarily made computer systems inaccurate in order to bring about God in the machine and we ended up with a shitty climate change acceleratory Eliza.
It's not intentional. The images are still replicating from the old storage to the new storage bucket. I will see if there's something I can do to accelerate that.
I am not sure what's going on with the trending page. I will take a look. Apologies for the trouble

According to CNN, Mexican cartel drones breached US airspace, an administration official told CNN, which triggered a temporary airspace closure over El Paso.
The airspace closure was prompted by a US military operation related to drug cartels, according to two sources briefed on the matter.

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

Hello UK #GreenParty members on here: I would really like the Green Party to set up on #Mastodon. Our local party (closed down after last election by somewhat erratic unilateral decision) has just reestablished and it is all X, FB and Insta. I have suggested Mastodon but noone knows it. I will work on it locally but is there any way to take it to the top somehow? Can we get together on here to write an email? Any suggestions welcome. #UKpolitics
I'm rather certain I've posted this one before. but looking at this picture pleases me so much, I decided to share it again

j'ai une question con (ou pas) aux gens de la technique qui font de l'avant vente.
vous apprenez de votre côté à mettre en place un outil qui se retrouve au catalogue de services de votre boîte. vous en faites aussi la démo et l'avant vente (avec un commercial pour l'approche initial)
le commercial touche sa part de commission, vous n'avez rien et on ne vous en parle même pas, d'avoir une commission.
vous estimez ça :
- normal (0%, 0 votes)
- anormal (83%, 5 votes)
- zblurf (juste voir le résultat) (16%, 1 vote)
@Marud Pour moi les deux sont liés. Pourquoi l’ingénieur/technicien prétendrait à une commission non négociée quand les commerciaux doivent se contenter de leur compensation fixe réduite en période de disette commerciale ?
Il y a pour moi une séparation forte des préoccupations entre ces deux profils professionnels qui n’a peut-être pas forcément lieu d’être, mais que cet exemple isolé ne justifie pas vraiment pour super favoriser le profil technique aux dépends du profil commercial.
Just so EVERYONE understands this:
Moderna has a flu shot. It works. It works well. It is safe. It is safe in people with compromised immune systems (like cancer patients!).
Trump’s nutjob at FDA, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., appears to have ordered FDA to refuse to even accept the application to review the shot for approval.

I was just sitting on the sofa, considering what to do about dinner, when some guy whose face I didn’t see came up my steps and put something in my mailbox. He had a blue heeler waiting at the water bowl. By the time I got up and opened the door, they were gone. And this was in the box. 1/

Dunque, bella gente fediversica e mastodontica, mi ricordo benissimo di aver ricevuto diverse richieste, nel tempo, riguardanti la ricerca storica, ultima delle quali quella di @valhalla relativamente ai passaporti tra le varie "regioni" (semplifico) d'Italia ai tempi dell'unificazione.
Purtroppo, però, non ricordo l'ordine, né l'argomento, né il richiedente 😅
