- Comment on Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use 23 hours ago:
I’m sorry, but this is about facial recognition, not an AI that can figure out if someone is shoplifting? They don’t pay someone to sift through all that footage and note down when someone is actually stealing, that just doesn’t happen. Let alone that the cameras don’t have full coverage of the store. So your statement is just not accurate.

Whether they actually get used for it or not is immaterial. People like to believe they will go out bush with them.

I wouldn’t be surprised, after reading all about the situation, if the girl was also being sexually groomed, and this was all an elaborate act to keep her looking a certain way.

No, she got some swimmers to write in saying her portrait should be removed.

I don’t ride either anymore, but it’s not that hard to just cover the horn while you’re around more dicey situations. I loved my CBR500 because it actually sounded like a car horn.

Ya know, I somehow managed to forget it was in the meme when I saw that person repeat it. Thanks for pointing it out.

You still didn’t comment on including VOY & ENT as “NuTrek” era shows. Would love to hear the justification on that one.
- Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"? 2 months ago:
DS9 Season 1 is 20 episodes? The way I read “20+” is 20 or more…
- Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"? 2 months ago:
Okay, sorry to be pedantic, but you’ve said DS9 a couple of times and I just, who categorises them like that? Voyager and Enterprise are both after DS9 and I don’t think most people would consider them “NuTrek”.
Also, this is a pretty silly argument, you’re right that “nu” means “new” in English. However, I wonder if it’s starting to become a bit like “Modern” in reference to art or architecture. Nu-Metal is actually a pretty old genre these days, and there are newer, more popular ones like Baby Metal.

What’s wrong with the magic mushrooms? It’s not like Trek was ever hard sci-fi when it came to how the ships fly. For crying out loud, in Voyager they went so fast they were everywhere at once, then Tom Paris and Janeway had salamander babies.

The dev of this developed Caddy? Hmm… at least there’s talent behind it. I’m a little worried about creating that sort of record, but this guy seems earnest in wanting to liberate personal data.

Hey, that’s really fair, thanks for being honest :)

Except that doesn’t at all explain the wider recall of 100 million units. Not every single one of those airbags were faulty. First of all, how could we know? Testing an airbag is a potentially dangerous thing to do, let alone on an enormous scale that would require under-qualified persons to run the tests. Secondly, it’s not a 100% failure rate. If it were, it would have been picked up far sooner than it would take to sell 100 million units. If it happened just as severely no matter the unit’s age, it would have been picked up during crash-testing. What actually happened was an analysis of statistical averages that showed a far higher rate of failure than there should have been.
The similarities to me come from a comparison to Schrödinger’s cat. In the airbag example, you don’t know if the unit in front of you is going yo fail until you “open the box” by crashing. With the AMD vulnerability, you don’t know if ur motherboard has been infected by any virus/worm/etc until a “crash” or other signs of suspicious behaviour.
In both cases, the solution to the vulnerability removes that uncertainty, allowing you to use the product to it’s original full extent.
Look at it this way, imagine if this vulnerability existed in the ECU/BCU of a self-driving capable car. At any point someone could bury a piece of code so deeply you can’t ever be sure it’s gone. Would you want to drive that car?

Sorry, I reread it and I understand now that you were referencing the AMD chip in a comparison. I guess I still would compare it most to the Takata airbag situation. You’re right that nothing happens on it’s own, but once you’ve “crashed the car” then it kind of is a lot like an airbag not going off. It infects your computer on a hardware level, and any future OS running off that motherboard is potentially vulnerable in a way that’s impossible to tell.

“this window only breaks if you’ve already crashed the car”
No, it’s usually more like “this thing will break and cause a car crash” or “this thing will murder everyone in the vehicle if you crash”. And companies still will not fix it. Look at the Ford Pinto, executives very literally wrote off people’s deaths as a cost of doing business, when they’d turn into fireballs during even low speed rear-end collisions. Potentially burning down the car that hit them too.

Ah okay, thank you heaps for clarifying :) That’s awesome that you’ve been able to limit the overhead like that, I’m excited to test it out!

That doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case:
- Comment on Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host 4 months ago:
Does this automatically use nvidia-patch in the container drivers to unlock as many NVENC streams as possible? I believe, from their documentation, that it’s possible to use the patch with docker, with an unpatched host.
Otherwise, is this something that could be implemented? I’m happy to submit a feature request if needed :)
- Comment on Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host 4 months ago:
Yeah, I think that’s the general idea. They are seperate instances of Steam that could be signed into different accounts. So yeah, if you’re doing multiplayer of one game, each account would need to own it. That would be the exact same limitation at a LAN party anyway. This just lets you host said LAN party on a single beefy box, and use thin clients for each gamer, like an RPi4, a tablet or even an Apple/Android TV.
- Comment on Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host 4 months ago:
As far as I can tell, it’s creating container VMs that have Steam installed inside separately.
- Comment on Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries? 4 months ago:
I think metro stations are a bit overkill, especially for Australia’s cities. I’d settle for the government releasing solid plans for train lines in new areas, and developers being required to cede the land for them while building out new suburbs. As well as increasing the taxes on those developers profits, directly into a fund to pay for the line to be built.

You invoked the comparison by using the phrase “today’s parents are too IT ignorant”. If anything, they know more about tech than ever before.

Yes. What is your point? I was commenting on the fact you thought this was a current parents problem when it’s been a problem for over 20 years now.
- Comment on Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws 4 months ago:
I don’t know what you lived through, but there was wider internet access in the late 90s and early 00s that caused widespread panic amongst the boomers when I was a kid (born early 90s). What surprises me more is that so many millennials have grown up to be just like their parents in that regard.
- Comment on Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws 4 months ago:
Todays parents? No. The Boomer/Gen X parents of Millennials were also incredibly IT ignorant.

How do you imagine that geoblocking content works if IP addresses don’t expose where you live?
And better get off the internet right now if your concern is exposing your ip cause it was never secret to begin with.
qaz could be using any of dozens of different methods to obfuscate their IP from the wider internet to write their comment, Tor or a VPN to name just a couple.
