    Connecticut lawmakers approve bill for cell phone ban in schools — but critics argue that having different rules for adults and students is ‘not good role modeling at all’

    Jump

  • I took the headline to mean the critics of the law were saying they don't want teachers to be allowed to have cell phones on the job. I wonder if a lot of the commenters here took it the exact opposite way (teachers and students should be allowed to have cell phones, rather than teachers and students should both be banned from having cell phones in schools).

    I think that may be where the crisscross is.

  • It's also not accurate because one of the people who measured that distance made a small mistake in their calculations.

  • "Designed to prevent bypassing age checks by people who don't understand the technology they are trying to regulate" more at 11.

    Legislators should be required to understand technology or consult experts in the field before they enact legislation. This is a waste of tax payer dollars and I'm not even sure it's enforceable.

  • If my tax dollars are paying for it then I deserve to see it. This is public. I don't have a choice but to be surveilled so they shouldn't have a choice but to make it public.

  • There is a distinct possibility that when people like the guy you were talking to "retire" or get forced out, these corps will hire you (a person without the degree but with the passion to do the job). In pretty much all cases you should assume that they will be taking advantage of you in any way they can, including by looking to use your much cheaper labor to fill the holes the other guy left when they retired.

    They will pay you a fraction of what they paid him regardless of your skill. They will avoid any and all training so they don't have to increase your pay. They will try to force you to use AI rather than building skills you will need to progress in a career like this. And when you give pushback they will force you out either by outright firing you or by making things so miserable you abandon your job. They will continue to do this to anyone they can get on the hook. Probably even after the bubble pops (using local models instead). They don't want knowlegable humans because those people can ask for what they want and will advocate for it. Those people know what they are worth. They want patsies.

  • Tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are ignoring data controls mandated under California privacy law at ‘industrial scale’

  • They don't think. They know. They have carefully weighed the likeliness of repercussions vs to the profit to be made from doing it anyway. They have also weighed how likely it is they will face legal action and what the legal action will cost them. They have also also stacked the deck against the common user and any legislators that might want to hold them accountable through lobbying and other forms of coercion or bribery.

    This is a well calculated "risk" vs reward for them.

  • It's your fault.

  • They changed it at some point and added a toggle for "sensors" (at least on my android phone) that is different than the airplane mode toggle.

    My best guess is this is because of accessories like Bluetooth headphones and services like inflight wifi and the need to turn back on those toggles causing some friction or confusion that makes people toggle off airplane mode which I believe breaks federal law in some countries.

  • Why? Seriously. What for? What was the point of replying to my original comment? Are you trying to start a fight?

    Do you not like facts? Is it just that you felt like what I said was misleading?

    What is your deal?

    Because it seems to me like you're just being antagonizing for no reason.

    My comment wasn't intended to be a defense of American food. It wasn't suppose to come across as if the food doesn't have any flaws or dangers. But you sure took it like I said something crazy.

    You aren't even comparing our rice and the levels of heavy metals found to other countries to see where we land.

    Or explaining the difference between brown rice levels of heavy metals vs white rice levels (brown rice having more heavy metals by a large margin).

    Instead you're just out here spreading FUD for reasons so you can dunk on the US.

  • This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men

    Jump

  • Given what I assume is a typo, I don't know which way to take what you wrote. On the one hand, I agree they grifted the grifted. On the other hand, they could potentially be considered gifted. Gifted enough to understand that using AI this way could allow them to grift people probe prone to being grifted. Of course. If I take it that way I have to assume the second "gifted" is meant in a derogatory way to call them dumb.

    I thought about this way too much.

  • Hopefully companies relying on other companies like crowdstrike.

    What are we paying for if not to have things work and have backups? I have so many questions about the companies you give your money to and what you think you're getting in return?

    Like. I feel like there's a lot of jobs where email could fail/crash and work could still be done. The whole company shouldn't just shut down because the AI is down. It shouldn't shut down because email is down. That's not just poor planning it's really poor business practice.

    What did they do before the AI? Why (when considering how temperamental LLMs can be) would anyone trust it to such an extent that you're dead in the water if it fails?

  • In the military we have a maintenance tracking system. It's electronic. We literally bdo drills for if it goes down and we have to resort to paper backups. And there are paper backups.

    Without a computer I could still manage an entire flight line worth of planes, and everything they need. Maintenance, fueling, sorties, etc. What you're telling me is that this company and lots of companies do not have a contingency for if there is a system failure or other outage.

    That seems acceptable? Why? Short of a power outage (and probably not even then unless we can't Jerryrig a lighting solution) we can do all the jobs required with hand tools. It's crazy to think that people don't think this should be a thing.
