Apparently the #eu currently *does not* #recommend a #fourth #vaccine #dose as the #data is not yet there to #support it: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/europ.. Apparently there is a #problem with the #immune #response ...
Ouch, #aws had a #powerfailure that wiped out #physical #hardware - including #servers and #data that will never be #recovered https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/22/a.. Some #server #admins are having a *very* bad #christmas all things considered.
Potentially something interesting here about using #random #data to #train #models https://www.unite.ai/training-computer-v.. We essentially actually did this for #xyolo https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.03159 The #input #weights were meant for a completely different #network - but we found they were #random enough that they actually served as an #accelerator for our #network !
#markzuckerberg 's new #facebook #meta is asking for #nudes to apparently stop them from getting into the wrong hands... https://www.lotuseaters.com/meta-asks-fo.. The *same* #company that has experience massive #data #leaks in the past! Fuck no.
#southkorea have been #secretly using #facial #recognition and have been #selling #data to #thirdparty #companies https://hackaday.com/2021/12/01/korean-f.. The #problem is #consent ...
Apparently " #hackers " are #stealing #encrypted #data in #preparation for #quantum #computing https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/11.. We'll see how this goes in the future...
It appears as though some #telecom #companies are collecting #sim #usage #data - including #information about the #device they are running on! https://scribe.rip/telecom-expert/what-i.. Apparently #atandt are doing this for sure. It's just a #reminder that a #simcard is actually a tiny little #computer with a #cpu , #ram , #disk , etc.
Funny #commentary about how #difficult it is to do a simple #task at #google - such as serving 5TB of #data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t6L-Flf..
The #uk #police should *not* have access to #medical #data - irrespective of the reason it's for: https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/11/d..
#firefox is now using #darkpatterns to get #user #location #data and share it to #advertisers https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/08/m.. What the hell is going on at #mozilla ? It really feels like they are losing their way...
Highly interesting #data #compression #library that is suitable for #fixed #memory #embedded #applications ! https://github.com/atomicobject/heatshri.. I will most definitely be keeping an eye on this for the #linuxpda project!
#backing up my #data now takes more than three days... Ouch. Definitely need to figure out a better solution.
I think for this #article - #aardvark is being a little hysterical about #nz #covid cases: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0920.s.. Checking the #data - the number of cases increased by literally a few people: https://www.worldometers.info/coronaviru.. This will likely be COVID spreading amongst people #quarantined in the same #household - not #community #spread ... #christmas is still on at this point, especially as #uv kills the #virus ...
Very cool to be able to process #data from the #raw #frequency of #voyager (from a #telescope ) after it's been travelling for 44 years already: https://destevez.net/2021/09/decoding-vo.. Great to see #gnuradio prove itself up to the task too!
So apparently there is a new #mu #variant of #covid that #fauci is telling people not to be concerned about: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/dr-fa.. Given how reliably wrong #fauci has been, I am hedging my bets against him. There is currently very little #data on this new variant and it's actually incredible he is saying anything about it.
Yeah this is an absolutely batshit insane #proposal for " #maori #data ": https://www.taiuru.maori.nz/maori-data-s.. Essentially, for 1000+ years, anything and everything about Maori #culture can only be owned by Maori people, used by Maori people, edited/updated by Maori people, etc. This is the *most* #restrictive #information #license I have *ever* seen. No #publisher could *ever* possibly write anything about Maori people. It's #cultural suicide if people cannot even record it.
