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.

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

And “Via The Far Side” but obviously not.

This guy needs to get back on his meds.

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.

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?!?

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?

hansl,

Has genetics gone too far?

hansl,

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

Misusing meme templates is a long programminghumor tradition.

hansl,

That doesn’t even make sense. How old would be Darth Vader? And he just jump around like that fighting with a light saber?

And Anakin doesn’t have the same voice at all. There’s just too many plot holes. It doesn’t work.

hansl,

You’re assuming he installed Gentoo successfully.

When a grid’s misaligned with another behind, that’s a Moiré!

Not better than jpegXL which has clearer free licensing.

The fortune teller needs to run two sets of telling; one where she gives him back his money and one where she keeps it and lie to him. And maybe a control group for good measure.

Star Wars is samurai movies with a skin on it. The whole thing is borrowed, in space. So it’s okay to have stories like Andor, Rogue One and Mando, etc because they mesh well with the general design of the universe.

Lower Decks is as far as Star Trek as it can be, and yet it fits very well in the universe. Because it respects itself and respect the source material.

JJ never respected the source material and the universe.

hansl,

They were very typical “J.J. Abram’s has no idea what a franchise is actually about”. He actually admitted not having seen any extra materials about the franchise before making the movies, and rehashed existing storylines because it’s safe.

JJ Abrams is loved by the studios for the very same reasons he’s dreaded by the fans.

hansl,

I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.

hansl,

Memes are a good example of a snapshot in time that doesn’t make sense 10, 20 years after.

People will look at a dancing baby and wonder why we thought it was worth sharing.

The plural of anecdotes isn’t data. You not being fine with that doesn’t mean the majority aren’t.
