Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."

So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

California Court of appeal has held that geofence warrants are unconstitutional

For those who don't know, a Geofence warrant, instead of targeting an individual or location like a traditional warrant, forces a carrier such as google or T-Mobile or some other entity to turn over data from ALL users/devices in a given radius.

Audon is a great real-time audio streaming service for the ! Think Spaces or Clubhouse, and you pretty much got it. You create a room for audio, where other people can listen to you, or just give them the role of speaker as well.

You can easily log in with your fediverse (Mastodon/Calckey/Pleroma) account, create a room, share the link, and you're ready to go!

Check it out at https://audon.space

Screenshot showing the room itself with my personal account as host and speaker, and this account as listener

AI Audio Challenge: Audio Restoration based on Expert Examples (we have 1,600 examples that could train a model to do it on the other 400k recordings)

this would help the internet archive and could be fun for AI hackers.

One of the most valuable habits you can adopt in tech is to be curious and be alway open to learning something new.

Too often companies and employees hit the rocks because people stop looking outwardly at new ideas and just assume everything that's worked before will work again

When there's major societal collapse, the internet often goes with it. Imagine your country's dealing with a military coup and suddenly you're cut off from all outside information and most means of communication.

When this is over, we're going to owe Musk a debt of gratitude for demonstrating not just the folly of relying on sociopath billionaires to give us places to speak and collaborate.

He's demonstrated the danger inherent in all centralized services where one person or company can control what we say and do.

Lol. Over on Twitter, Elon praised a ridiculous thread about "how people become NPCs" that suggests the way to "break out" of it is to exercise more which will let you think for yourself.

And it strikes me that the world of people who accuse others of being "NPCs" is a lot more rigidly minded and unable to think for themselves than the people they accuse of being NPCs.

Elon's deed is done - no more blue tick on Twitter for me. It's now pointless, just signifying that you paid Twitter $8/mo or the equivalent to get a blue tick, which I won't do. And it makes the word 'verified' utterly meaningless. So no thanks!

https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/

I started my computer science studies at the University of Helsinki in the fall of 1988, and met Linus Torvalds, who was the other new Swedish speaking student in computer science that year. Toward the end of that first year, we had gotten access to a Unix server, and I accidentally found Usenet, […]
