Israel named 'worst enemy of journalists' by Reporters Without Borders

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has described the Israeli army as “the worst enemy of journalists” in its annual report published on Thursday, with nearly half of all reporter killings worldwide recorded in Gaza.

The French-based organisation said that of the 67 media professionals killed over the past year, 43 percent were killed by Israel, making the Palestinian territories the most dangerous place in the world for journalists.

According to RSF, the Israeli army is the primary perpetrator of journalist deaths, ahead of cartels and organised crime groups (24 percent) and the Russian army (four percent).

Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100

A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea if you ask me.

TL;DR:

Price:

"Under $100":

After [the preorder], it will go up to $99.

Battery is not rechargeable:

And what happens when the battery runs out? You just send the ring back to be recycled.

Runtime:

The integrated battery will power the device for 12–14 total hours of recording. The designers estimate that to be roughly two years of usage if you record 10 to 20 short voice notes per day.

"Roughly two years" = lets say that's 20 months
12 hours = 43.200 seconds = 72 seconds/day
"10-20 short voice notes" = 3.6-7.2 seconds per note

Features:

Records only while pressing the button
> The recording is converted to text and fed into a large language model (LLM) that runs locally on your device to take actions. The speech-to-text process and LLM operate in the open source Pebble app, and no data from your notes is sent to the Internet. However, there is an optional online backup service for your recordings.
> A model small enough to run on your phone has to focus on specific functionality rather than doing everything like a big cloud-based AI
> * Create or add to notes
> * Set reminder
> * Create alarm
> * Create timer
> * Play/pause/skip music track (via button press)
> also designed to be hacking-friendly. The audio and transcribed text is yours [...] You can route it to a different app via a webhook, and the LLM supports model context protocol (MCP), so you can add new functionality that also runs locally. The AI model will also be released as an open source project.

Reification and the Consciousness of the Proletariat

TLDR:

Reification is when capitalism makes social relationships look like natural laws. It starts with Marx's commodity fetishism, where the value of a product seems like a property of the thing itself, hiding the labor behind it.

Lukács expanded this. He showed how this logic spreads to everything. Under reification, the system we built starts to rule us. We become objects to economic forces. Our lives get reduced to numbers like wages and prices. Capitalism starts to feel like the weather, an unchangeable fact of life instead of something people made.

This messes with our heads. It makes us passive. We see society as a bunch of disconnected facts we can't change, which stops us from seeing our own power as a class. Alienation is about feeling disconnected. Reification is about that disconnected world hardening into a fake reality that controls us.

The point is we forget we built this. Overcoming it means achieving class consciousness, seeing through the illusion that capitalism is permanent, and realizing we can change it.

Reification and the Consciousness of the Proletariat by Georg Lukacs

iFixIt announce FixBot: Your AI Repair Helper

Prefacing with: Yes yes yes, we know, you hate AI. You are truly unique and that joke about removing all previous instructions is just as funny today as it was two years ago.

Moving on.

I... honestly thought this was a joke while watching the youtube video. That said, I think this is simultaneously an excellent use of the fuzzy search/human language capabilities of LLMs AND has absolutely no good use case? And I am very wary of the input training data.

For the first part? There is a lot of value in being able to communicate what is broken without actually being an expert. That is honestly a big personal use of chatgpt et al for me. List symptoms as I understand it and then get that translated into domain expert language so I can know what terms to search.

But... I question the audience for that. How many people who can only say "sound don't work" are going to be comfortable jamming spudgers into seams and working on technically live electronics because the battery is ten layers deep? The youtube video uses an example of not being able to find the oil filter after taking the plate off and.. I would very much suggest paying to get that replaced if you are in a situation like that since you can cause a LOT of long term issues with your car if you screw that up.

Which has always been the dirty secret of Right To Repair. The vast majority of what those activists are asking for... aren't for the end user. It is for the repair shops. End users are not going to be swapping out their mac heat sinks or whatever because that requires special tools and a lot of expertise. But repair shops have done that for decades. And, in theory, that will be cheaper for the end user. In practice... there are a lot of reasons to know how to change your own oil filter, if you catch my drift.

And this is VERY much targeted at that end user.

And the last part is the training data. I've used a LOT of the ifixit guides over the years. Some are good. Some are... better than nothing. There are a lot of cases where I would have loved to get more detail on an intermediate step. But... where is that detail coming from?

So... yeah.

To be clear:

EVERYONE should have a cheap set of electronics screwdriver bits (and the ifixit kit is really nice. So are the much cheaper knockoffs from the same factories. Up to you if you care). And having basic soldering skills and knowing when you can get away with heat shrink connectors is a really useful skill. You'll be repairing the headphones the dog ripped off your desk in no time and save yourself a lot of money.

But when you are listening to people tlak about how this cell phone needs to be repairable or how you NEED to have the DAC be a separate board so it can be removed and replaced? Same with demanding chip diagrams for that SOC in your laptop. Ask yourself: How likely is it that you will EVER do a repair like that? How often do you actually hold onto hardware? And how much do you trust the guy with a shop in the mall to not scam you on this?

I am generally a strong supporter of Right To Repair, even when it is something I, as a consumer, am never going to even consider doing. But it is also worth remembering that a lot of the "this is horrible because it is all computers" is still rooted in racism and xenophobia. And it is always worth looking at what a repair actually will cost versus buying a new one.

For example. Last year my dishwasher failed. I did some diagnostics, did some very deep cleans, and even opened it up. And I mostly narrowed it down to a failure in one of three parts. I looked up the price of those parts and... they were all most of the cost of a dishwasher on their own. And if I paid a professional to replace them, it would be well over the price of a new dishwasher. So... I could try and get lucky and replace the right one, by myself, on the first try... or I could just buy a new dishwasher during a holiday sale. And... damn I love my new dishwasher.

Much of it goes back to the 60s-80s when Western factories were largely outdated and realizing that East Asian factories were rapidly outpacing them and able to offer better products for MUCH cheaper. Rather than acknowledge they had become complacent and didn't want to train their worekrs they instead focused on "made in America" bullshit and insisting that that new vacuum was no longer repairable. And... mostly that boils down to the idea that if you have vacuum tube transistors you can replace them easily whereas you can't replace a transistor on a single chip.

But, as we have learned in the intervening decades, you can... just replace the board. And many of those evil computers in cars actually drastically increased repairability/maintainability because you can actually tune many aspects with a computer and get VERY useful data out of the sensors.

Because the reality is that you can make an SOC device that is INCREDIBLY repairable by focusing on how you do chip layout and what modules can be repaired. And you can make a multi-board setup that is immensely unrepairable by locking down parts with effectively DRM. And... there are also times where it actually does make sense to lock down/register those parts just like there are times it actually does make sense to glue the fuck out of that assembly.

But that is nuance. And nuance is for women and The Gays(TM). So buy American and purchase a radio that you can repair until the day you die! And then buy a new radio next year.

Oh, Im in northern europe and made in Japan / Taiwan / Korea / China (except lately for the last one) never had any such connotations. I remember Japan and West Germany/Germany as high standard. Still got some West Germany workshop tools I inherited from grandpa, and those might be made to US standards due to US influence in the german reconstruction effort.

Made in the US items was uncommon as I grew up, only item I remember being made there was a frustrating us clock radio as a child due to it never keeping time right (possible by using the mains frequency as time keeper rather than a crystal). I am born late 80s.

Western Europe had an "advantage" in that, for whatever reason, many of their factories were rebuilt in the 1950s or later. So a lot of the tooling was closer to Japan (who ALSO weirdly had to rebuild a lot of factories in the back half of the 20th...) and China (who were more or less industrializing during that period). But all the jokes about the electrical system in (Western) European cars being a mess is "truth in television" due to having a lot of the tooling but not the expertise.

This is a pretty great use case for AI. Instruction manuals exist for almost every product online, so models would be trained on them. Most tech is very similar to each other, so in the context of hardware repair, it should be a reasonable tool.

Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in "social feeds" on their sites.

News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly, as consumers could get news summarized on their social feed.

Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds as a result, so as to be compliant with local passed laws and not pay fees or fines.

Then news outlets complained that no one was going to their sites because links were not being shared on social platforms. The very thing they complained about in the first place.

Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different and a completely new challenge that politicans somehow don't understand.

in reply to King • 1 settimana fa • •

I hate to ask... But would that even feel good for the sponge? Would that even feel like anything? From what we can see, there's nothing in there. The starfish's fingers aren't stimulating anything; they're just waggling in the air inside the sponge.

Beyond simply the stretching of the hole, I can't see the sponge really getting anything out of this act. And the most I can see it doing for the starfish is providing a convenient carry handle with which he can bring his friend with him wherever he goes - which is neat but the sponge also walks so it feels unnecessary.

Unless either or both parties involved get off on the more cerebral aspects here?

I am not an expert on digital stimulation of sponges, though, so I am totally open to being wrong here!

Interesting, you might be right. If that's the case, though - and I don't have any sort of formal education in fingering so this is a layman's perspective - it looks like the starfish is misplacing his fingers.

Surely the starfish would find it more effective to use the more nimble and dexterous tips of its fingers to touch those sensitive nerves around the rim, rather than the middle of its digits which are much harder to apply directed pressure with? It's also harder to control how much pressure one applies through the middle of the digit as opposed to the fingertip, although I recognise my frame of reference is human fingers and not starfish fingers.

Supreme Court weighs Republican appeal to end limits on party spending in federal elections

The Supreme Court is considering a Republican-led drive, backed by Donald Trump’s administration, to overturn a quarter-century-old decision and erase limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president.

A day after the justices indicated they would overturn a 90-year-old decision limiting the president’s power to fire independent agency heads, the court is revisiting a 2001 decision that upheld a provision of federal election law that is more than 50 years old.

Democrats are calling on the court to uphold the law.

The only halfway-decent treatment I’ve seen in Western media to date was the Cylon occupation of New Caprica in the 2004 Battlerstar Galactica TV series. It was basically the US occupation of Iraq, except the “us” were the occupied insurgents and the “them” were the occupiers.

If you want to get real into it, the "humans" were also really worried because "they" could act, look, and sound like us?! The horror!!!

German state of Schleswig-Holstein to save €15 million each year by kicking out Microsoft for Open Source, local government says

Web archive link

Schleswig-Holstein [Germany's most Northern state] started its open source journey early, becoming something of a vanguard in Europe's move away from proprietary software [by ditching Microsoft and introducing Linux and LibreOffice].

Now, Dirk Schrödter, the Minister for Digital Transformation of the state, has shared some remarkable numbers (link to article in German language) that prove the financial case for implementing open source for government use cases.

...

According to Schrödter's ministry, Schleswig-Holstein will save over €15 million in license costs in 2026. This is money the state previously paid Microsoft for Office 365 and related services.

The savings come from nearly completing the migration to LibreOffice. Outside the tax administration, almost 80% of workplaces in the state government are said to have made the switch.

The remaining 20% of workplaces still depend on Microsoft programs. Technical dependencies in certain specialized applications keep these systems tied to Word or Excel for now. But converting these remaining computers is the end goal.

There is also a one-time €9 million investment set in motion for 2026, which would be used to complete the migration and further develop the open source solutions for the ministry.

[...]

Open Source statt Microsoft: Schleswig-Holstein spart Millionen

Schleswig-Holstein muss durch den Wechsel von Microsoft auf Open-Source-Software deutlich weniger Lizenzkosten zahlen. Digitalisierungsminister Schrödter verkündet rund 15 Millionen Euro Ersparnis.

What are these torrent connections?

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/39867783

When seeding a file. Let's say a movie, and all I see are a lot of connections where others try to download that movie. However, they remain at 0% and never download anything.
Almost feels like its something watching, logging connections to everyone connected to that torrent. Just a theory.. No idea. (Privacy conscious)
Maybe someone can shed some light?

Are they from China/Chinese clients? A number of these are modified to never seed, so they always show as having 0%.

Might be, FWIW there are quite a few ways to torrent in a rather private way, namely require encrypted connection, have a blocklist, require to be behind a VPN, etc ... but in the end you still share data with strangers, that's the core premise. The whole point is to facilitate the sharing of data reliably but then who joins the pool is outside of the protocol itself.

Trump greenlights Nvidia H200 AI chip sales to China if U.S. gets 25% cut, says Xi responded positively

I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security. President Xi responded positively! $25% will be paid to the United States of America. This policy will support American Jobs, strengthen U.S. Manufacturing, and benefit American Taxpayers. The Biden Administration forced our Great Companies to spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS building “degraded” products that nobody wanted, a terrible idea that slowed Innovation, and hurt the American Worker. That Era is OVER! We will protect National Security, create American Jobs, and keep America’s lead in AI. NVIDIA’s U.S. Customers are already moving forward with their incredible, highly advanced Blackwell chips, and soon, Rubin, neither of which are part of this deal. My Administration will always put America FIRST. The Department of Commerce is finalizing the details, and the same approach will apply to AMD, Intel, and other GREAT American Companies. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
