Anyone old enough here who saw Captain EO? I never saw Avatar in theaters so I'm curious how it would compare to an older but still impressive 3d movie attempt.

For some reason I am getting some astroturfing vibes from those videos. She and her husbands whole online thing seems to be these dumb chips, and they look so super wealthy it's hard to believe there isn't something identifying how they got this rich. It could be they rented some empty mansion and set up these dumb chips as some sort of grift.

my understanding is that much of the influencer status symbol stuff is rentals and props. almost none of them have the level of material success they portray, it's prop money, "private plane" interior sets, and rented cars of course that does take seed money and having the cash reserves to put full time work in, but that's true of so many careers at this point

Steve French posted:Vet all of it? Not reasonably without some automated means. But such thorough vetting is not even remotely necessary to prevent such a basic problem as “package completely stops functioning”. It is standard practice in many software organizations and ecosystems to pin every dependency, direct or indirect, to a fixed release that won’t change, ever, until/unless dependencies are updated or added explicitly. And at the time you do that, you do at least some bare minimum of testing that the update didn’t completely break poo poo.

Captain EO was pretty great for the 80's, it even had lasers and smoke that would come out of the screen. I'd say for quality and imersiveness it was close to Avatar but it was only 20 minutes or so long and they probably spent the money of a full length motion picture on it.

A tech nightmare that has been brewing for a few years is Government opposition to End to End encryption like TLS (which you use for HTTPS secure websites) https://twitter.com/NCA_UK/status/1483403983159009280?s=20 Basically, both the UK and the US (especially FBI) is pushing back against end to end encryption arguing it makes it easier for criminals to operate, insisiting backdoors need to be installed. This is troubling because its not mathematically possible without making encryption easily cracked and broken.

Wake me up when the federal government has somehow become vastly stronger and the tech industry vastly weaker and a major terrorist attack organized on signal has successfully been carried out. Except then again the quote intelligence community literally claims they had no idea about Jan 6 public Facebook posts so even if all that happened they have no credibility.

Wasn't there a terrorist attack in England where a guy rented a semi and ran over a bunch of people? And the entire attack was planned over unencrypted SMS, and the MI6 or whoever still failed to stop the attack? They can't even stop a terrorist attack when no encryption is involved.

the underlying story is legit but overblown through a couple different layers of reporting paranoia zerohedge, which is garbage conspiracy bait, got the article from krebsonsecurity, which is ok but definitely ideologically oriented towards privacy concerns the IRS is going to move to using ID.me, which is a third party website that does identity verification. in order to continue using irs.gov directly, accounts will have to be vetted by being attached to a photo ID, and a picture of one's face to match to the ID. there are plenty of government agencies which already use this process for identity verification whether or not jumping through all these hoops is a necessary or vital thing - that can be debated. i don't think this is a facial rec database any more than what the various state DMVs already possess, though, nor is it really any more of a biometric analysis as is showing your ID at a bar

its worth pointing out that the military, VA, social security, etc. have all been using ID.me for years - i think this story only really has legs if its framed as creepy big government watching you do your taxes on webcam

My main issue with it is how hard it’s going to make it for less privileged people to interact with essential govt services. I was doing my return the other day and needed to double check our child tax credit payment numbers, and encountered this thing. I had to take approximately 24 pics of my ID in three different areas of my coworking space before they were accepted and then the only way I could get the facial scanning to work was standing with my back against a plain white door with my elgato key lights on me. Brick was an unacceptable background, and anything less than full power lighting directly on me, but behind the camera, was unacceptable. Bright overhead lighting didn’t work. If I had been home I don’t think I could have finished my taxes.

What is the state of facial recognition technology currently? Is it at the point where you can reliably grab a library off the shelf without needing to train it or are competent ML engineers still required to train and validate a model to get a good product? It sounds like the latter, based on what Riven is saying above me.
