    Massive Attack Turns Concert Into Facial Recognition Surveillance Experiment

  • Yeah this article is hot garbage. What "biometric data" are they talking about??? Just images of people's faces? My understanding is that it's super commonplace in public locations, are people really that surprised?

  • Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s

  • The breadth of capability this guy has is insane to me. Almost every time I watch one of his videos I find that he's managed to basically gain a new field of expertise. It's really impressive.

  • Another fun fact: retinol is regenerated by your liver. Not your eyes, not some part of your brain, not some organ near your head like your thalamus which could probably get the job done if it tried, your fucking liver. Your eyes taking a while to adjust to the dark has basically nothing to do with your eyes; it’s because of the delay in adjustment by your fucking liver to produce more retinal, dump it into your vascular system and wait for it to hopefully reach your eyes.

    This is fascinating, I had no idea that there was another mechanism at play to improve low light vision other than pupil dilation

  • Disagree on eyes. Light is EM radiation, not a mechanical wave like sound. Your retina isn't 'touching' anything but the vitreous.

  • Is this why pip packages are called wheels...?

  • Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline

    Jump

  • My only concern is battery usage. Google has the advantage of OS integration, which skims location data for timeline history even when another app accesses location, which uses essentially no battery (since you would've been using location for that other app anyway).

    But it's awesome that a tool like this exists anyways, great work.

  • What for?

    I think this fairly often when I see some of the things that have been created for RPi hardware. Some things are cool, but most fall into the category of "it's cool that this exists", but doesn't really have a purpose beyond that.

  • Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT.

  • I'm not supporting higher education becoming reliant on for-profit companies like this, but AI tutors and the like, if properly implemented, would be kinda awesome. For example, it's usually not feasible to have real life staff on hand to answer student questions at all hours of the day. Especially at the more early years of university, where content is simpler, AI is more than capable of meeting needs like this.

    I don't fully agree with most of the people on this thread. I also hate AI slop being forced into what feels like all aspects of our life right now, but LLMs do have some genuine uses.

  • Yes, but I was saying the Blackhat marketplaces wouldn't really have much recourse if the person selling the exploit knew how to cover their tracks. i.e. they wouldn't have anyone to sue or go after.

  • I always wonder what's stopping security researchers from selling these exploits to Blackhat marketplaces, getting the money, waiting a bit, then telling the original company, so they end up patching it.

    Probably break some contractual agreements, but if you're doing this as a career surely you'd know how to hide your identity properly.

  • True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup)

    Jump

  • This method uses magnetic resonant coupling (vs inductive which is how wireless charging works on your phone). The difference is the transmitter and receiver are both tuned LC circuits that operate at their resonant frequency, which is why this works over the impressive range shown in the video. It would have efficiencies around 80% mark based on what I could find. But yeah for RFI, this would definitely be worse than something like normal Qi charging, which operates in the 100s of KHz, while this operates in the MHz. But I think the manufacturers page says this is FCC certified? So might be not too bad.
