Seit Frühjahr wird unser #WLAN von einer #OpenWrtOne gewuppt im Austausch gegen #FritzBox. Die Anschaffung einerseits wegen Modernisierung von Softwarestack und Protokollen, aber vor allem wegen langfristigem Support bei #OpenSource.

Das kleine Blaue läuft absolut unauffällig und fast hätte ich es vergessen, aber Heise nicht.

Daher heute die ersten Upgrades erfolgreich:
✅ 24.10.0-rc2 -> 24.10.4 r28959-29397011cc
✅ Installation #owut
✅ Upgrade via owut
✅ Dokumentation

The Myth And Reality Of ‘Physics-Based’ Models In Geosciences
--
geoaiunpacked.substack.com/p/t… <-- shared technical article
--
“Across hydrology, fire, weather, and climate science, models are often described as physics-based—a phrase that evokes rigor, transparency, and trust. Yet, beneath the surface, much of what drives these models are empirical relationships and parameterizations rather than direct solutions of physical laws. These assumptions are necessary to make the equations computable, but they also introduce biases, tuning artifacts, and uncertainties that can propagate through every layer of simulation.
This doesn’t mean physics-based models are flawed or obsolete; rather, it highlights the complexity of modeling natural systems…”

There are 14 “smarties” per pack which is ALSO

the number of legs on an isopod.

In UK and Ireland the Smarties are small chocolate disks covered with bright candy colours sold in a cardboard tube a lot bigger than those. Since 1937. Also sold in Canada.

Those look Swizzel's Fizzers sold in Ireland & UK. Though they might just look the same.



"The Tucson Police Department has deployed a controversial AI-powered surveillance tool that is also being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to scour social media, track locations and much more, according to documents obtained by the Arizona Mirror.

In August 2023, the Tucson Police Department signed a 28-month contract with Cobwebs Technologies for its “Tangles Open-Source Intelligence” software. The police department then sent a request to the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to get reimbursed from the state’s Border Security Fund.

In the reimbursement document, which the Electronic Frontier Foundation received in response to a public records request and provided to the Mirror, TPD requested the state reimburse it $277,500.23 for the purchase and installation of the software."

Healey refuses to tap $8 billion rainy day fund to cover SNAP, but doubles payments to food banks


The governor is releasing $4 million from another state account to double the state’s November payment to food banks. But she said tapping the rainy day fund would open the floodgates to other requests during the federal government shutdown.

Observing repeated correlations isn't enough to establish causation, even though it might be pointing us in the right direction. We need to figure out why one is causing the other if it is. We can figure this out through imagination and different observations. To become aware of that necessary relationship which is deductive in nature. To become aware of what is necessitating what. Something along the lines of if there is a water molecule there must be an atom of oxygen but for causation or necessitation. I say this while being aware that logic is relative to a degree or maybe just relative. #philosophy #metaphysics #induction #causation #cause

in medicine they verify causation by checking dose dependence. Meaning if they observe that a potential medicine improves some condition, they know they are on to something, but it's not enough. If it turns out the result is independent on the dose, then the result was actually trash. I know there exist some other statistical tests for this but I don't know what they are.

Edit: might be a good starting point

@licho I don't know if that goes far enough for me or not. For me cause can only be known by establishing that logical relationship. Still, it works and I wouldn't rally against it, haha. Also thanks for the link!

Man leaves his mark on the territory he inhabits, inscribing the traces of his occupation in the landscape. Vernacular elements of our landscapes, witnesses of the past, revealing the present, or bearing the passage of time, they reflect the social, economic, and political situation of those who live there. This photographic series, initiated in 2011, shows this, constituting a "portrait of place", personal and subjective. The "portrait of place" of today’s France. From here and now.

"The chatbot company Character.AI will ban users 18 and under from conversing with its virtual companions beginning in late November after months of legal scrutiny.

The announced change comes after the company, which enables its users to create characters with which they can have open-ended conversations, faced tough questions over how these AI companions can affect teen and general mental health, including a lawsuit over a child’s suicide and a proposed bill that would ban minors from conversing with AI companions.

“We’re making these changes to our under-18 platform in light of the evolving landscape around AI and teens,” the company wrote in its announcement. “We have seen recent news reports raising questions, and have received questions from regulators, about the content teens may encounter when chatting with AI and about how open-ended AI chat in general might affect teens, even when content controls work perfectly.”"

The US made three bets on China. All backfired.

"There is a reason China has made protecting visas for Chinese students a top priority," Marc Thiessen writes.

"They help the Chinese Communist Party carry out what [Christopher] Wray called 'the largest and most sophisticated theft of intellectual property and expertise in the history of the world.' Given this fact, why on earth would the Trump administration give the Communist China the opportunity to double the number of its students in the U.S. to help carry out that espionage?"

SAMAEL - Black Matter Manifesto

#NowPlaying #FediRadio #UnoRadio #Musica #Music #Samael



"This year, when states began using an expanded Department of Homeland Security system to check their voter rolls for noncitizens, it was supposed to validate the Trump administration’s push to harness data from across federal agencies to expose illicit voting and stiffen immigration enforcement.

DHS had recently incorporated confidential data from the Social Security Administration on hundreds of millions of additional people into the tool, known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, system. The added information allowed the system to perform bulk searches using Social Security numbers for the first time.

The initial results, however, didn’t exactly back up President Donald Trump’s contention that noncitizen voting is widespread. Texas identified 2,724 “potential noncitizens” on its rolls, about 0.015% of the state’s 18 million registered voters. Louisiana found 390 among 2.8 million registered voters, a rate of about 0.014%.

Instead, experts say, the sweeping data-sharing agreement authorizing DHS to merge Social Security data into SAVE could threaten Americans’ privacy and lead to errors that disenfranchise legitimate voters."

In order to understand #Capitalism, you have to understand that it views #HumanResources the same as it views natural resources: as something to be extracted. Furthermore, all negative consequences aka circularity is "externalized" as resource extraction is used to line the pockets of #Capitalists.

Meta’s Chief Censor for Israel Brags About Silencing Dissent

In a resurfaced video, Jordana Cutler — Meta’s “Director of Public Policy for Israel and the Jewish Diaspora” — boasts about her success in getting political opinions banned from Facebook and Instagram.

“We’ve removed more content and accounts than ever before that cross the line on Israel and antisemitism,” Cutler says, framing the censorship of pro-Palestine voices as a “victory” for her team.

tbh, I hadn't heard of her, so I checked Wikipedia:

Jordana Cutler is the Director of Public Policy for Israel and the Jewish Diaspora at Meta Platforms and was formerly a senior official in the Israeli government and adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu.

'nuff said.
