@sebwhatever @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @actuallyaudhd lately I don’t have the energy for anything new, so I am falling back to the defaults that bring me comfort:
- #baking - #sourdough #breads mainly, but also anything I have the ingredients at hand
- trying to go back to #blogging more regularly - it was my first love, but also helps with offloading the thoughts that would otherwise plague my brain and keep coming at me
- #data as a hobby

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most dangerous pieces of software to be foisted on the consumer market.

"First, even if User A never opts in to Recall, they have no control over the setting on the machines of Users B through Z. That means anything User A sends them will be screenshotted, processed with optical character recognition and Copilot AI, and then stored in an indexed database on the other users’ devices. That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages.

The presence of an easily searchable database capturing a machine’s every waking moment would also be a bonanza for others who don’t have users’ best interests at heart. That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments. Threat actors who manage to get their spyware installed on a device will no longer have to scour it for the most sensitive data stored there. Instead they will mine Recall just as they do browser databases storing passwords now."

Day 14

“Nearly 2m hectares of #forests suitable for endangered koalas have been destroyed since the iconic species was declared a #ThreatenedSpecies in 2011, according to analysis for Guardian Australia.

The scale of #habitat #destruction in #Queensland and #NewSouthWales – states in which the koala is formally recognised as being at risk of #extinction – has continued despite political promises it would be protected.

Analysis by the #AustralianConservationFoundation using state and federal government #data found 1,964,200 hectares of #koala habitat were cleared between 2012 and 2021, the latest year for which there was complete data.

The total amount of destroyed forest and bush covered an area larger than greater Sydney, taking in the #BlueMountains, the #Illawarra, the southern highlands and the #Goulburn and #Shoalhaven regions.

It is more than 10 times larger than the area the #NSW government is assessing for a possible “great koala national park”. But most of the cleared area – 81% – was in Queensland.

About three-quarters of the lost forest is estimated to have been cleared for agriculture, to create #cattle pasture and #crop fields. The analysis found 13% was removed by the #forestry industry and 5% for development of infrastructure, including #mining. Just 4% was likely due to natural causes, such as bushfire and drought.”

There’s a reason the Minister for the Environment has been kept quiet.

Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.

(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."

etc. etc.
Yeah...

“UK government wants to legalise automated police decision-making”

by Statewatch.org

@UKLabour

“A proposed law in the UK would allow police decisions to be made solely by computers, with no human input. The Data Use and Access Bill would remove a safeguard in data protection law that prohibits solely automated decision-making by law enforcement agencies”

Pour that first cup of coffee, add some raisins to your oatmeal, and settle in to read this paper from three Univeristy of #Vermont-based Big Data Cluster members.

"We introduce the Efficiency-accuracy-complexity score as a composite metric that balances accuracy, computational efficiency, and model complexity, providing a comprehensive assessment of model performance."

Handling missing data is a critical step in data analysis, as failing to address it properly can lead to biased results and reduced analytical power. The mice package for R, short for Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations, provides a robust and flexible framework for handling missing values through multiple imputation.

The visualizations shown below originate from the package website: https://github.com/amices/mice
