Blockade posted:Using a few LEDs, a hat, and a and a bit of computer savvy you can train up an adversarial model that makes you appear as whoever you want to be. Sadly as the paper points out, you have to have an exact copy of the facial recognition model as used by the surveilling facial recognition system, including the exact same training data

Blockade posted:Believe it or not its not too difficult to do this, many facial recognition systems only use one of a handful of commercially available models, and even if they have something custom you can train against it as long as you can get a pass/fail response in some way. That's certainly true for most of the commercial off the shelf stuff, but since you need the exact same training set, most of the actual interesting targets will either have training data you don't have access to or use a proprietary algorithm. Take for example, Rekognition, which offers facial recognition services for US police department camera feeds. I'm sure its just off the shelf components stitched together into saas, Bad example. But, as per our shttiest possible cyberpunk dystopia the Rekoginition FAQ has this gem: quote:Q: What is a face collection and how do I create one?

Thoguh posted:Yeah I dunno how big a metro area needs to be to have private schools that aren't Catholic schools (not counting the crazy evangelical "schools" with a dozen students) but I don't think they really exist outside of maybe a half dozen places in the US. Huh? Even if you exclude all evangelical private schools, I think you’ll find them far more prevalent than that. You have private charter schools, montisori schools, elite private schools, etc. Especially in the post-integration south, they’re everywhere. 25% of all US schools are private and 10% of students attend them. Only about 39% of private school kids attend catholic schools anymore http://www.capenet.org/facts.html (Using pro-private numbers might inflate the stats a little but not too much.)

Thoguh posted:My experience with Montessori is that it ends around Kindergarten, so while I agree they'd qualify as a private school, I was thinking more along the lines of post kindergarten, especially high schools. Oh they go all the way to high school now, but k-8 is more common https://clark.cps-k12.org I can’t exactly imagine how that works for the kids once they leave.

I'm glad to see this tech is finally getting commercialized so people will stop denying it exists. Defense contractors have been selling this capacity for years. Although the gimmick of saying the "AI can see through walls" when it is using radio data to track you is a great grift.

moller posted:I sort of assume given the content of the mural and the essential absurdity of cordoned off street art that the abhorrence of the stunt is, indeed, what the artist is trying to communicate with the piece. Of course, it's possible that the artist isn't doing an irony and that this is completely earnest. gently caress if I know. its also gotten the image of the mural shared way more than if he didn't pretend it was exclusive, its a classic barker trick where you make something worthless exclusive to seem valuable

No. The internet will serve guns, the gun is downloadable.” Wilson says now. “No amount of petitions or die-ins or anything else can change that." The Internet Will Serve Guns!

Mercrom posted:that kind of argument against facebook experimenting on their users is dumb though, since what qualifies as an "experiment" in this case is just subjecting the users to the usual poo poo they always do except they dont run the test on every single user at once the issue is the fact they did research that was completely unethical and still got to publish about it. Scientific ethics say you have to get informed consent, especially when your study might harm participants, like the facebook study did. you're correct companies do unethical research all the time but idk if that means we shouldn't be upset about it

Mercrom posted:as with most things its a matter of degree. imo launching a massive marketing campaign targeting millions of people to see if it will increase sales is less ethical than changing how a news feed works on a website for scientific research Sure but in the context we're talking about, facebook was intentionally depriving some people of happy/positive facebook posts with the intent of seeing if it made them depressed. That's more than just changing the service in an attempt to improve it.

Mercrom posted:would the opposite be ok, depriving certain people of depressing news to see if they would be less impressed? if you believe there is a chance it would work, isnt it unethical to deprive everyone else of that change? You're confusing ethics and morality. It is blatantly unethical in modern science to do any experiment that you think you might cause harms without informed consent. Facebook didn't get informed consent. And yes, thinking you might make people depressed counts as harm.

Main Paineframe posted:when human rights watch asked that question to the guy who came up with the three-drug cocktail, his answer was, and I quote, "Why not?" lol at "I didn't do any research" quote:In addition to his work on the statute, Chapman developed the original three-drug protocol used by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.45 Although Oklahoma’s statute specifies two drugs, Chapman included a third drug, potassium chloride.46 When Human Rights Watch asked Chapman why he added a third drug to the two drugs specified in the statute, he replied, “Why not?” He went on to explain that, even though the other chemicals, in the dosages called for, would kill the prisoner, “You just wanted to make sure the prisoner was dead at the end, so why not just add a third lethal drug?” He is not sure why he picked potassium chloride. “I didn’t do any research … it’s just common knowledge. Doctors know potassium chloride is lethal. Why does it matter why I chose it?”47

Rookoo posted:I suppose this fits into this thread better than any others, another case of me not understanding what the gently caress is going on with the US legal system. You have no idea: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/13/us-prisoners-sentences-life-non-violent-crimes quote:At about 12.40pm on 2 January 1996, Timothy Jackson took a jacket from the Maison Blanche department store in New Orleans, draped it over his arm, and walked out of the store without paying for it. When he was accosted by a security guard, Jackson said: “I just needed another jacket, man.” Sentenced to life in prison with no chance of prarole for stealing a coat.

Bradbury had it right:quote:Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, 'Who goes there? What's the password?" and, getting no answer from lonely foxes and whining cats, it had shut up its windows and drawn shades in an old-maidenly preoccupation with self-protection which bordered on a mechanical paranoia.

SlothfulCobra posted:Electric cars don't even necessarily solve the issues with fossil fuels, they just concentrate it into generators that just gives the advantage of economies of scale. So long as coal and natural gas are what our national power grid run on, it's the same net effect. even with our current grid mix electric cars are better  even if you account for the emissions from building a brand new electric car it doesnt take long to be worth it: quote:The emissions estimates presented above compare the use of an EV compared to using a gasoline vehicle. However, there are also emissions associated with the production of these cars, and in general making EVs produces more emissions than a comparable gasoline car. We studied this issue in our “Cleaner Cars From Cradle to Grave” report in 2015 and found that the extra emissions from making an 80-mile range EV (compared to a similar gasoline car) are about 15% higher. However, this extra emissions ‘debt’ is quickly recovered by the savings that accrue while using the electric vehicle. of course the big caveat with Tesla is that they turn around and sell those credits to other automakers to allow them to put more polluting cars on the road. so the "saving the world" poo poo is as always bs.

Krankenstyle posted:the only thing gibson got wrong was the grittiness. the grit and grime is there, things haven't degraded so badly that we cant clean it away from the fancy places yet. like say the bay area's shantytowns blocks away from Michelin star restaurants, where abandoned radioactive waste dumps sit next to $1M homes and a "routine emergency" at an industrial site sends 15,000 people to the hospital. (those are all real btw, but the home prices have since dropped because the developer lied about removing any of said radioactive waste)

SlothfulCobra posted:So combine that with the UN condemning Detroit for shutting off people's water, and that's two major US cities condemned by the UN for their inhumane living conditions. Let's see how many more end up on the list. To be clear, the shantytowns are mostly in Oakland which is a much smaller tax base than San Francisco. So it’s pretty much the same process as Detroit just Oakland’s government hasn’t completely collapsed yet. Oakland’s government is caught between popular support in the flats (poor parts) for homeless support like building housing and declaring safe zones for shanty towns and political pressure from the hills (rich as gently caress) to “stop wasting money.” It’s overall very similar to what happened to Detroit, rich communities like Palo Alto, Mountain View, Atherton, just push the poor people and homeless into cities like Oakland and Richmond while sharing none of the tax revenue.

Socks4Hands posted:https://twitter.com/AnnaZ/status/1059483335473405953 Research shows time and again that these kind of creepy vague-threat-like statements are in fact far more effective at getting people to vote than pretty much anything else anyone tries. Likewise those ads that look like bills or legal notices always perform better than the glossy pamphlets. People know you can throw away a pamphlet, but they have to actually open and check the EMERGENCY NOTICE to see it says "Ted Cruz might lose!!!" on the inside.

Krankenstyle posted:everyone knows that our browsing data doesnt have any monetary valueirl. ad metrics are 100% made up. I think that technique would mostly just trigger a closer analysis rather than subtly hide you. You’ll stand out like a sore thumb unless you’re mimicking real behavior. If you want to hide in plain sight make your entire online presence a Finsta. As far as ruining their data, it doesn’t matter if it is ruined since the analysis is garbage anyway.
