- Comment on Amazon defends facial-recognition tech sale to FBI despite moratorium | Computer Weekly 9 months ago:
Not to mention the primarily black population of Louisiana who are disproportionately targeted for crimes will be the greatest number of false positives .
Due to the common knowledge the facial recognition is severely lacking when it comes to successfully identifying black populations due to darker tones being harder to differentiate.
This would take an existing problem and magnify it by creating a larger, more automated police state.
Not to mention data privacy/security, which the LA DMV just got their data hacked in the last two years…
Seriously a public safety violation all-around.

- Comment on NYPD faces backlash as it prepares to encrypt radio communications | New York | The Guardian 10 months ago:
I’ll put it simple.
American cops are not equivalent to Canadian cops. US cops use tax payer money to pay lawsuits but are allowed a special police union as well. No other public servants get a union to do their bidding while tax payers foot the bill.
Open the channels. What’s there to hide. In emergency events, yes it could be an issue. But people also need to know where serious events might be occurring in their areas.

- Comment on How much CO2 is emitted by manufacturing batteries? | MIT Climate Portal 1 year ago:
No one said it was a zero-sum game. Nothing really is (excluding theory). I’m just gonna leave these here for good news:
The process, which has also been used on material left over from magnet manufacturing that typically goes to waste, can recover 90 to 98 percent of the rare earths, and the material is pure enough to make new magnets, Nlebedim’s team has demonstrated.
Recovering up to 70 percent of lithium from battery waste without corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and prior sorting of materials being required: This is achieved by a recycling method developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Mar 30, 2023

- Comment on How much CO2 is emitted by manufacturing batteries? | MIT Climate Portal 1 year ago:
Regardless I always find the argument for fossil fuels over EV hilariously stupid when measuring carbon outputs. Considering that these renewable elements can be recycled over and over unlike one-time fossil fuels…
- Comment on Building Robust APIs with Ruby on Rails: A Glimpse into Modern Web Development 1 year ago:
As someone who has worked with RoR in the last year, they’ve come a LONG way in the last three years.
Take a look at Turbo and other new implementations in RoR. They eliminate like 90% of the necessary Javascript and the libraries are reliable which is nice. A guarantee not always found in the npm ecosystem.
- Comment on Thanks to wind and solar, Texas has kept the power on and the costs down 1 year ago:
Connected, but still independent of it. They’re also connected to the Eastern grid it says.
So pretty misleading, it’s less than 10% of their power.
