If you use Bartender and haven’t received the update with the new code signing certificate, DISABLE UPDATES NOW.

If you updated to anything beyond version 5.0.52, TURN OFF PRIVACY PERMISSIONS TO THE APP and delete it.

Remember, Bartender needs permission to record your screen to work. This can get bad. https://sfba.social/@drahardja/112561678013832666

I’ve been reluctant to accept the premise that CEOs are prime jobs for replacement by AI, but this CEO just up and said he’s directly replaceable by #AI so 🤷 https://mastodon.social/@wklj/112555818429417630

Someone is selling a $15k Faraday cage for the #Cybertruck for “doomsday” EMP attacks. 🤣🤣🤣

Literally a tinfoil hat for your douchepanzer.

I guess they figure OTA software updates can wait while they’re protecting you from the zombie apocalypse.

A fool and their money, etc.

Because #Trump is now a convicted felon, he is barred from entering 37 countries, including the United Kingdom, which means he can’t even visit his own golf course in Scotland.

Will #Tesla shareholders vote to give Elon a huge compensation package this June 13 (now worth $45B)?

drahardja, 9 days ago to windows

So it seems that what #Windows #MicrosoftRecall does is take screenshots, sorts windows by application, then runs each window through an image-to-text model and logs its contents, capturing text, web domain information, and the topic of the content. This information is then logged in a searchable local database.

This has to be combined with some way to get back to the content, right? So if I searched for a topic in the future, Windows has to be able to restore the app and the document that you were viewing. So there has to be some URL or file path associated with each window content.

I know people are freaked out about this feature, but I think it’s basically Spotlight on steroids. I’m actually not that freaked out about it if it’s local-only, and I think this can actually be useful for someone with #ADHD like me who loses content all the time.

The real questions: what privacy-protection mechanisms are present, who gets to access to this data, how easily it can be exfiltrated?

A Brit just explained to me that a lot of homeownership in England is based on a leasehold arrangement, where you own your house, but RENT the land from a landowner. When the lease expires, the land AND THE HOUSE IT CONTAINS reverts to the landowner, even if you’ve paid for it. While leases can be extended basically indefinitely, it is possible for it to lapse and for landowners to seize the house that YOU BUILT for zero money.

Can someone confirm this? If true, that is…landlording and “generational passive income” taken to a WHOLE new level.

Why is it so hard to have my Mac mini consistently appear on Finder via #ZeroConf #Bonjour? Half the time the computer isn’t visible, and there’s no amount of flushcache or killing mDNSResponder or Finder that brings it back. I wait many minutes with my Finder open and…it spontaneously comes back? WTF?

So flaky. #macOS #apple

There was a paper shared recently about the exponential amount of training data to get incremental performance gains in #llm #ai, but I seem to have misplaced it. Do you know what I’m referring to? Mind sharing the link if you have it?

Agreed, except for “summarization” of text that I haven’t read (e.g. “summarize this financial report for me”), because there is no way to tell if the summary is accurate and does not omit important elements.

I think Microsoft Copilot for helping coders has legs. Coding problems tend to be the same set of queries repeated over and over, with slight variations in theme: perfect for LLMs. https://cleverdevil.club/@jonathan/112504327461154045

So a German magazine decided to run an “interview” with Michael Schumacher, in which Schumacher’s “responses” were fabulations generated entirely by #AI.

The real Michael Schumacher sustained a brain injury in 2013 and has not recovered.

The Schumacher family sued the magazine and won a settlement. But the fact that this story ran at all is beyond dumbfounding.

I’m looking forward to a day when diamond surfaces can be made as cheaply as Gorilla Glass, and diamond jewelry as cheap as cubic zirconia.

Aluminum was once incredibly expensive to mine too, and now they’re ubiquitous and cheap, thanks to the invention of the Bayer process in the late 1800s.

I hope diamond goes the same way. At least it will stop the inhumane treatment of diamond mine workers.
