If you are using a so called smart connected TV and are concerned about your privacy, you should read the following scientific article: "Watching TV with the Second-Party: A First Look at Automatic Content Recognition Tracking in Smart TVs"
arxiv.org/pdf/2409.06203v1
In short, if your TV's settings are not correctly adjusted, it can periodically (in some cases, every 10 seconds) send a fingerprint of what is being displayed to a server to find out what you are watching.

It is sad that the comment section was exactly what I expected, even here on Mastodon.
Woman posts about how men often react negatively to things women say for no apparent reason.
The exact kind of man she's talking about shows up and does exactly that. Exclaims, I would never do that, while doing that.
"Incremental #HTTP Messages" proposal:
Upon receiving a header section that includes the Incremental header field, HTTP intermediaries SHOULD NOT buffer the entire message before forwarding it. Instead, intermediaries SHOULD transmit the header section downstream and continuously forward the bytes of the message body as they arrive.

This document specifies the "Incremental" HTTP header field, which instructs HTTP intermediaries to forward the HTTP message incrementally. Discussion Venues This note is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.IETF Datatracker

There’s a lot of complexity around what open means and how that intersects with AI, but from a reputational and consistency perspective I really can’t get over this 👇🏽 for the current draft of the OSI AI definition.
mastodon.social/@odoruhako/113…
Just read the OSI "Open Source AI Definition" (opensource.org/deepdive/drafts…)
It's basically pointless but the best part is:
Data information needs to include: "a detailed description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data"
My man. If the data to train the model is unshareable meaning I cannot get it to reproduce your binary/model, your system _is not open source_.

SNCF, you’ve lost it. Really. There wasn’t just 1 but 3 guys warning about lost luggage
WHY?
SNCF is screaming it’s short of cash. Last time I needed to go to the ticket office here at Nord the wait was AN HOUR
And you’re using money on this shit?
It's amazing to see the groupthink among dipshits.
Look at this donkey's chorus of billionaire-worshippers filling my mentions with the word "cope" over and over again, evidently in the belief that it will pierce and wound me beyond recovery.

Space, the final frontier. Our solar system is in space, right? This BBC series gets into the nitty gritty of Earth, asteroids, moons and the other planets near us. Maybe it doesn't sound like edge of your seat stuff but Brian Cox does his best to keep your attention. Cox simplifies complicated concepts while he tries to figure out how life began here while postulating about where else life could be found. BBC 2 on iPlayer.
