Supposedly the entire accessibility team got laid off [1], so there might not be anyone left to ensure that changes to existing features do not reduce accessibility nor ensure that new features are accessible. Not that I'd expect Musk to care a whole lot about concerns raised in that regard, considering that he supposedly went ahead with Twitter Blue despite significant (and well warranted) concerns from the Trust and Safety team [2]. So Twitter will probably become less and less accessible over time.

And you can just not use the website. Then no data is hoovered. I actually think this is probably the best system. It's double opt-in. If you both commit to your sides, you both sign the deal and get what you want. If neither of you wants to do it, you can both just not sign the deal.
Having information in your colleagues heads only is exactly how you create organisational friction to begin with (now newcomers are likely required to ask questions to your team directly). Also over time this information gets completely lost (forgotten by people or when they leave the company).

Dunno what your country is but if you're a European you should be interested in stemming bullying wannabe-dictators. History told us that if we're not firmly fighting this Hitler-Stalin "politics" style (going on now for 10+ years), the problem will be getting bigger and bigger over time. The rule based law of nations exists for a good reason and we have to defend it by all means.

Knives always seem like a perfect example because they really do have so many good uses, along with some bad ones. But just because two pieces of technology both have good uses and bad uses doesn't mean they're morally equivalent. As to your example, even if I trust people who enter my house I wouldn't want to store a nuke in my kitchen drawers :) And there are many ways to discuss the ethics of tech beyond "good and bad uses", such as to what extent a user of the technology controls it or is controlled by it, what are the negative externalities, does it increase power asymmetry, etc.
That's what businesses do. They are created to make money. They only way to keep them in check is with regulations. The unfortunate thing is so many people hold libertarian views while others are anti-big government.

The simplest spectrometer is dark sealed tubes of doped sodium iodide crytals with a counter at the ends.

When an energetic gama burst hits a bit of crystal it flashes in a manner that gives up the energy .. over the course of a second and a few thousand events (normal background radiation) you have a spectrum [1].

You no have an indication of all the radiation all arounf the tube.

All around. With no indication of direction. Literally they could have come from anywhere, up, down, left, right, behind you, etc.

What we have here appears to be a vertical tube (or tubes) with mobile masking templates that rotate about and provide some axis of ingress information coupled with any energetic flahes that appear at the same instant.

There is some topographical statistics that needs to be performed and overall there are reduced signal levels (as some incoming gammas are masked and never make a flash) but you can end up with a positional image of where various radiation sources are in the space about the tube.

The other wrinkle they gloss over ('compressed', 'needs fewer counts') suggests (it's either obfuscated or I haven't read deeply enough) they have an eigen library of responses (ie. mean Australian background, Pure Potassium, Pure Uranium, Pure Thorium, Cs-137) baked in to facilitate faster recognition of spectrum patterns.

It's a pattern matching in N^256 type problem in a space that reduces to about N^11 or so when an SVD is applied .. and there are ways to "cheat" and do this faster on the fly.

Smaller models like Curie can work quite well too. But they are less "instruct-like" models so you will need to properly use few-shot learning (aka "prompt engineering") in order to get good results: https://nlpcloud.com/effectively-using-gpt-j-gpt-neo-gpt-3-a...

It might be worth considering GPs comment as a case of projection, rather than a claim about the world to be rebutted. After all, they are part of the "everyone" they talk about.

I’m also thinking about the privacy side of things.

Video calls are used as a chance to talk candidly about management woes to colleagues. People talk much more freely on calls than they do in the messages of Slack or Teams.

Then auto-transcription hit, but I figured no one was going to read the thousands of lines of dialogue the org produces to mine for juicy tidbits.

Now, every meeting is automatically summarized by AI. I would not be surprised to see some 3rd party plug-in coming soon that flags to management when people express negative feelings, reveal secrets, or more on meetings.

Wee input a lot more than text.
To be honest, this also makes you stand out. Maybe Disney doesn't really care, but when I worked on people's data a bunch of "ghosts" entering our system without really leaving a trace would raise all kind of eyebrows and maybe even get a team assigned to them to find out what was going on (to be honest, one of my tasks was to find out malicious actors, and this is exactly the kind of behaviour you expect from them).

At this point, surveillance is so massive that not leaving a trace is a trace of its own.

VHF requires larger antennas than UHF.

most of the reason bigger TV antennas were a thing was the "bigger is better" illusion. They make fancy stacks of elements and pt "+28 Dbi" numbers on the box but at any specific frequency those could be outperformed by a simple single cut wire. (they weren't utter horseshit: considered across the whole band they could be better for being bigger, but thats a technical and theoretical "win")

There are places where "more metal harvests more signal" in antenna design, but they're little dots on a broad map, not where you'd expect them to be. Herringbone antennas at WiFi freqs are fun.

You joke, but some smart TVs with cameras and microphone do indeed that if they have certain malware. This applies even more widely for baby monitors and some other "smart tech for home".

Valve solved this problem by not making games anymore.

Honestly, this is an exercise in futility. You can't ban something across the board, everywhere, in every nation. AI is just another assistive technology that can be used to replace low effort positions. Like every other technological advancement it will be painful for some but on the whole of it our society will benefit, up to a point...

ChatGPT for example is nothing but a more advanced and opinionated search engine, it is a tool for you to use or discard. ChatGPT is not the threat in any case, Copilot was a much bigger threat but we have all learned to live with it now. It is true that soon some AI can become advanced enough to replace developers, but ask yourself this, why? It isn't because the bots can do our job that much better than us, it is because our fields are stagnating and the bots can be trained, but their models are trained on outdated datasets before they reach public availability.

If you want to keep your job, stay ahead of the game. Use the tools available to you. And stop worrying about all the 'what-ifs'
What you call a problem is simply how constructors work: users pass in the arguments that are expected for a certain way to initialize the object, and you either document these expected arguments with type hints or "lose type hinting".

Expecting to inherit type hints from an unrelated place, like the constructor of a superclass, is quite unjustified. The superclass is an implementation detail.
Yup, 100% this. I think the big wave of ennui we have been seeing in the past couple of decades comes from a fact that much less people are starting families. Once you have children, it’s clear that the job is just means to an end. This can actually increase job satisfaction, as people no longer depend on jobs for fulfillment.
That is some serious apologist of Russian activities right there...
I guess I'm thinking of a somewhat hybrid situation.

I have my corporate account, me@corp.com, which is also configured on my domain-joined pc. This works well enough.

And with this same account, I connect to a separate tenant, where I'm a "guest". This separate tenant belongs to a partner corp, and they delegate the authentication to our tenant for people in our corp. So, I can almost use my credentials, meaning that I can use my regular login/password but have to have two MFAs (one for each tenant) for some reason.

But the "main" account seems aware of the other one because even on a fresh Windows install, just adding my me@corp account to teams adds the other one too. I just can't switch between the two without restarting teams, so I can only use one at a time.

Someone will develop it, and someone will use it for nefarious purposes - as one terrorist organization spokesperson once said, "We only need to get lucky once. You need to get lucky every time". If it is developed like this, in the open, at least we have a better chance to understand its capabilities and limitations, and to be better equipped to build countermeasures.
Relatively quickly we got Pascal, and the Borland dialect got widely adopted in the academia. Unfortunately, because of teething problems (various dialects, TP only available for DOS/Windows etc.), eventually it lost the battle with C. It's a pity as we would have to deal with much less bugs over those years.
UHF and VHF (that is, Ultra High Frequency and Very High Frequency) are the 3GHz-300MHz range and the 300MHz-30MHz range, respectively.

That translates to a 10cm-1m wavelength for UHF and 1m-10m for VHF. Minimal effective antenna size for a basic wire antenna is 1/4 the wavelength, so you end up with big antennas for low frequency / large wavelength.

Interestingly, the author mentioned both M-expressions ("never implemented") and Mathematica (with a number of interesting links). Mathematics expressions are quite close to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression . Function application is not (f x y) or f[x; y] but f[x, y]. In contrasts, lists in Mathematica are {1,2,3} and thus pretty close to [1;2;3]. This curly bracket list notation is already syntactic sugar, as Lists are actually List[1,2,3] and thus very transparent to how you can represent them in LISP. Mathematica introduces a number of handy abbreviations such as f@x for f[x] or {x,y,z}/.f == Map[f,{x,y,z}] == {f[x],f[y],f[z]}. It even "overloads" the double semicolon symbol ;; basically acting as as in/pre/post-fix "operator", cf. https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Span.html -- the same is true with virtually any symbol such as "==" (Equals) or "+" (Plus).

The Mathematica/Wolfram language could really be a game changer if it was open source.

A lot of people. Don't you think the Algerian government is monitoring social networks? how are they processing it? This is the most evident "security" need (for which states are generally very generous with their pockets).

I’ve got a raspberry pi in a touchscreen case that I bought for my 3D printer but frequently gets repurposed for home automation. When we have someone house sitting while we’re away I set it up with a dedicated Home Assistant screen so they can turn on the garage lights from the house.
The smartest house doesn't hand out the details of your life to 3rd parties or let contractors hear you having sex. We need more options for privacy respecting self-hosted systems that people don't have to design/create themselves. Some home automation tech is pretty nice, but its not worth paying for it forever with the data/privacy being given up, and in the inevitable consequences of having that data used against you for the rest of your life.
At the end of the day, it's just pixels on a screen. It's not fair to compare it to machine guns or atomic bombs which cause real physical harm.

You might argue that the technology to make pixels on a screen resembling real humans is bad, but then you have to actually make that argument (and "some people got scammed" is indeed such an argument, albeit a pretty weak one), not just shift it to "this is technology, machine guns are technology, machine guns are bad".
Can you explain your process in more depth?
