Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

hansl,

Even from a perfect witness (and witnesses are very imprefect) you wouldn’t be able to predict if they have a beard or not. That’s why you always multiple variations of the person when they actually distribute renditions.

hansl,

No no no. The error compounds every time you math so if you math a lot at 40 digits you might end up with like 30 digits of correct precision. Totally unacceptable. Literally unplayable.

hansl,

You’re here to make friends. I’m here to learn the enemy moves.

We are not the same.

Fun fact; someone needing it is exactly why you have a spare, too. I would give my spare tire to a stranger that needs it, because that’s what a spare is. Then I get a new one. Edit: otherwise your spare is useless when you don’t need it.

Why don’t you have two spares in case you have two flat tires?!?

hansl,

Oh no the unfortunates are going to have things. How can I someone of privilege survive without things? Is this the Robin Hood paradox where rich people will end up being moochers after all the moochers take their stuff?

This is Gary Larson. The armadillos are a joke. He made a joke. That’s what he does. You made a self centered statement about your entitlements.

If you can’t tell the difference between a moochers and a person who had bad luck and need a hand then you’re not well equipped for the social life we need. Because you have more in common with that person than with the one you seem to identify with.

hansl,

I just bring my spare car. Easier that way.

hansl, (edited )

I can easily tell the difference; one is born in money and is actually mooching on society, the rest of us should team up and kick that guy.

Your issue is one of perspective. You think your little things have a meaning, and you think that someone like Elon Musk just has more things (edit: because he worked harder or longer). As someone that actually works with centimillionaires and some billionaires, their lives are incredibly different on a fundamental level. They don’t just have more spare things. They suck government subsidies as income.

Trust me, the guy who is asking for a spare has it just as bad as you, with extra bad luck that day. Show some empathy.

hansl,

And also both of them missed it. Hah!

It’s like the old joke; three frogs are on a train track just hanging out. One of them says “watch out there’s a…” WUMP! “A what?” WUMP! WUMP!

That’s the thing. Picard has a trauma. She lost her identity, childhood, sense of belonging. It’s entirely different.

Like Bane said, “you merely adopted the borg. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t anything of humanity until I was already a (wo)man.”

Edit: Also, isn’t it addressed at some point that, for 7o9, her trauma was actually to leave the borg and not being in it?

And “Via The Far Side” but obviously not.

This guy needs to get back on his meds.

Why would you think science and religion are irreconcilable? Or are you thinking of one church in particular?

hansl,

Serious question; what do you use for OAuth?

hansl,

No I mean all those web services that only allow you to use OAuth to sign in and don’t give you the option of creating a username/password combo.

hansl,

Oh you like math? Name all the sets of sets that don’t include themselves.

hansl,

Has genetics gone too far?

hansl,

And then the Hebrew letters were peering through the window, Javert style.

hansl,

It was a rainy Saturday and the local farmers were in and about when he told me about those darned letters.

hansl,

Why limit it to an integer number of dimensions?

hansl,

Open your mind

Did she try to break them off? Yokoing the band?

hansl,

When life gives you Lemmy…

hansl,

If you have a dollar, and lend it to me, and I lend it to my friend Alice, we have 1 dollar, but the total debt is 2$.

Nobody is claiming there are trillions of wealth around. But there are trillions worth of debts. Because countries, companies and people lend to each others a lot.

How’s that absurd?

hansl,

Misusing meme templates is a long programminghumor tradition.

hansl,

I’m still on my replay of FF6… a 25-30 hours RPG that is taking me months to finish :(
