on Ban AI Slop? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml · 3d ago
Agreed. TLDR, you must tag posts there with the following:
Post Tagging
There are three types of tags for project promotional / AI posts.
- [CBH] - Code By Human - A project promotional post with a project that did not use AI in any capacity. No disclosure necessary.
- [AIP] - AI Project - A project promotional post with a project that used AI in development in any capacity. Disclosure is required for how it was used.
- [AIT] - AI Topic - A discussion topic that includes AI. This may be for a discussion on hardware to self-host on, llama.cpp vs ollama, your experience using vulkan, etc.

on Grandmother jailed for six months after facial recognition mistake launches $10 million lawsuit against Fargo and detective in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
Now, Lipps has filed a lawsuit against the city and one of its detectives over her arrest. It alleges that Detective Lucas Heck proceeded with charges despite knowing that Lipps lived in Tennessee, had never visited North Dakota, did not match the physical description of the suspect captured on surveillance footage, and had no unexplained funds linking her to the thefts.
So the ones she’s suing. She likely can’t go after the software company because it’s very likely they just have like a confidence score and a legal thing that says “when you use this we’re just providing an estimate and possible match and you need to do your diligence.” But the fact the state/city/department has no policy that more corroborating evidence is required for an arrest / jail and that detective just blanket trusted the software without any other evidence means they should be the primary targets of the lawsuit. Additionally this is ripe for political candidates to take on, so I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten some politician using her as an example for more stringent policies in the use of facial recognition by law enforcement.

on Rulesiness Hours in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 16 Sep 2026
Well for stores of this style yeah, probably before like the 1890s or so. The store owner probably lived as part of the store, opened at sunrise, closed when it died down, but would come down for you and open up if you knocked real hard.
But like public markets have always had pretty strict hours, often historically around church. Church is out, bell rings, market is open, ring another bell, market is closed. And a lot of that was actually in place to prevent people from getting in earlier, buying up everything, and then selling it at a premium. It was like the anti-scalper for medieval markets lol.
The other half of that though is that while capitalism brought about more strict timekeeping you’re right, though ironically the strict hours allow for things like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Closing_Association that morphed into more and more labor protection we see today

on German police read Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp messages without breaking encryption in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
Signal doesn’t offer anything except sms 2fa and requires a phone number. It’s a terrible choice considering LEO can do what they did here and just get legal access to MITM your sms messages, spoof the 2fa, and take over your account, impersonating you. The other ones aren’t encrypted. So none of these they broke into are great choices for truly secure messaging.

on Watch out: Apple timepiece can grab snippets of conversation without both speakers' consent in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 11 Sep 2026
The wearer’s Watch emits an audible tone, even in silent mode, to alert those in the vicinity and provides a visual cue for those able to see the face of the device.
Nonetheless, bystanders alerted to the recording – to the extent they recognize the meaning of the tone – have not consented to being recorded, which is a legal requirement in 11 US states that have all-party consent laws.
Ok, so it actively alerts about the recording, unlike “Voice Memos” or any other audio recorder app. And so its on the onus of the user to ensure those in the conversation consent, which is and has always been the case for any sort of recording device. Apple bad, updoots to the right pls

Game pass Microsoft distributed exclusives? Yes. Xbox/game pass cloud only games? Not that I’m aware of, but never say never. If they announced gta vi was game pass cloud early access for a release only they’d get millions of sales. Game pass cloud vastly limiting what you get? Yes.

on Dropbox just disclosed ~5,000 compromised accounts😬 in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 4 Sep 2026
Their defaults are AES256 at rest
www.dropbox.com/features/security
That being said, that’s not end to end encrypted because they have the keys, so if someone breaks into their infrastructure, they break into the files. It moreso prevents the datacenter owner/someone acquiring drives from getting in.
They do have support for end to end encryption, but that’s not included on their standard plans, you need to pay for the “Advanced” plan for that feature

on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
DLAA is the anti aliasing only. DLSS was always ai upscaling with anti aliasing as a first pass, literally Deep Learning Super Sampling.
DLSS 1
The first iteration of DLSS is a predominantly spatial image upscaler with two stages, both relying on convolutional auto-encoder neural networks.[31] The first step is an image enhancement network which uses the current frame and motion vectors to perform edge enhancement, and spatial anti-aliasing. The second stage is an image upscaling step which uses the single raw, low-resolution frame to upscale the image to the desired output resolution. Using just a single frame for upscaling means the neural network itself must generate a large amount of new information to produce the high-resolution output, which can result in slight hallucinations such as leaves that differ in style to the source content.[13]

on The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
Yeah nixos is a lot of learning and a lot of writing and tweaking .nix files.
That being said, once you have a setup you like that works it means installing on a new machine is mostly just running a couple of install commands and all your apps/settings/environment secrets/anything you’ve declared in your nix config (like dotfiles for apps unsupported by home-manager) come with you and are version controlled on the system and in code.
But it doesn’t work like a normal Linux system, there is no /bin/bash among thousands of other things, so it’s for a niche audience where it’s either a server with infra as code or a desktop that requires a lot of work to maintain but has some incredible advantages (like generations)

on Anthropic A.I. Model Finds Flaws in Tough-to-Crack Encryption Algorithms in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Aug 2026
The actual publication instead of this sensationalized drivel:
anthropic.com/…/discovering-cryptographic-weaknes…
Using Claude Mythos Preview, researchers at Anthropic have discovered improved ways to attack cryptographic algorithms (the mathematical methods used to keep online data private). The first attack significantly weakens HAWK, a digital signature scheme that was built for a post-quantum world. The second identifies a new way to attack round-reduced AES, the most widely used symmetric cipher. These are substantial research advances, but they do not currently affect any production systems. This post describes both findings in more detail and discusses the implications for cryptography in an age of powerful AI models.
They could also very much want the right wing in power in Iran which will then give them enough acceptance in the international community to invade and feed the ever hungry war machine. Palantir usage and therefore profits lieterally rise if that happens, so it’s in their interest to ensure war as much as possible.
