So if the only thing hidden is the airplanes ID seems like it would still be relatively easy to have a program sift through the data.2

pineapplelover,

Yeah all we need is to track which private plane specifically went on the exact pattern of her tours

Dayroom7485,

Probably the oligarchs, based in this law, can use their lawyers to sue the person who dares to do so publicly.

TheFriar,

Depends on how the law is written. If there is language against deanonymizing the now anonymous data? Yeah, they’ll get Jacks ass. But if not, there’s really not much they can do.

DancingBear,

Personally I don’t care where celebrities are at any given time. But I do think it’s interesting, for example to see how international climate summits are some of the biggest environmental impacts as far as carbon footprint etc for example, or seeing how celebrities take personal jets to go to the convenience store

This species jumping is not what you would call a good sign.

The resolution would have repealed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, which sought to force financial institutions that are holding crypto to keep the digital assets on their own balance sheets, as Coindesk recently explained.

Can someone explain why they are so upset at this?

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Because they don’t want crypto to be traceable.

TransplantedSconie,

Ding ding ding!

Bitcoin is exceptionally traceable, this seems more about preventing banks and financial firms from hiding solvency issues from SEC and the public’s analysis by off sheeting crypto holdings.

monobot, to technology in So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off

AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

abhibeckert,

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

I disagree. It’s absolutely useful… in certain industries, for appropriate tasks.

That doesn’t stop it from also being used as a toy.

for appropriate tasks.

100% agree with this. Good, sharp knives are perfect for creating wonderful dishes in the kitchen. But people can also use them for harm.

I’ve seen some incredibly useful ways in which gen-AI can be used. A few months or so back, there was someone here on the Fediverse that was able to spin up a working prototype of a self-hosted Spotify replacement after only 8 or so hours of gen-AI code development. Stuff that would’ve taken 5x as long to research and code with just a human.

Gen-AI is ultimately a useful technology… when used the right way.

As much as I say fuck the billionaires, they have actually already had methods of doing this for about 50 years. Only the dumb billionaires who registered the planes in their name were annoyed about the rules. They could have always registered it under a trust, like almost every other rich person private jet out there. People can still figure out the plane tail registration and track you through that, and that will never change. So the billionaires that are happy about this regulation change still have their tail numbers known by the public to be associated with them and can still be tracked. Now they just have to change their tail numbers (giant pain) and wait for people to do slightly more difficult digging to figure out what plane is theirs.

Anything that makes cryptobros seethe is alright in my book.

niucllos, to politics in Rumor That Donald Trump Is Launching His Own Crypto Inspires Countless Scams

One could make the case that it is a patriotic duty to divert money from fascists that would otherwise go to fascist causes

elliot_crane,

What would be really funny is if enough of these scam coins popped up to dilute any possible branding around trump’s scam coin.

Case,

Until people learn the definition of fascism, which… well, I’m in a southern state. Most dipshits support fascism as long as it oppresses the people they don’t like.

To be clear it’s a case going back to 2022, but still concerning.

Undaunted, to technology in You're Not Imagining It: Google Search Results Are Getting Worse, Study Finds

I’m using Kagi for quite some time now and it’s awesome. But recently I was using a different machine and did not have my login credentials at hand so I used Google and holy shit I didn’t remember Google giving such aweful results. I was not able to find what I was looking for. Then searched the same thing on my phone through Kagi and the solution was in the first three results. So yes I also feel that Google search is getting worse.

fckgwrhqq2yxrkt,

Pay for the service or you will become the product. Kagi is more than worth it, its so nice to be able to find what I’m looking for again.

I can't be paying $5 or $10/month for yet another service. I understand the companies need to make money, but the amount of services asking for a subscription is getting out of hand. And $5 is really high for a search engine, that price is crazy. I was expecting something like $12/year for unlimited searches.

fckgwrhqq2yxrkt,

You either pay with your money or by viewing paid content. I save WAY more time than the $5 is worth to me not having to dig to find real results. It’s ability to surface actual product reviews instead of page after page of amazon affiliate links has saved me hundreds of dollars. I felt it was crazy to pay for too, the free trial immediately changed my mind. You don’t know how bad you have it until you see how good it could be.

    $5/300 is just under 1.67 cents per search.

    BarbecueCowboy,

    I could blame a lot of things here, but it's just obviously been far too long since I've done basic math. I appreciate you fact checking me.

    I’m not from the US but I greatly admire Bernie Sanders. Few US politicians seem to care about working class Americans as much as he does.

    Amusingly, the phrase Crypto Fascist does and does not apply here.

    jeffw,

    Can’t believe I never thought of that. I’ll bet people start misusing the term soon and maybe it’ll take on a new meaning

    intensely_human, to technology in 224 Injured After Glitchy Diabetes App Drains Insulin Pump Batteries

    I fucking hate when people write safety-critical code with the same level of sloppiness they write social media popup horseshit.

    sexy_peach,

    Yup but the employers are to blame

    intensely_human,

    Everyone involved is to blame. Writing code that fails causing death is on whoever wrote that code.

    Great video, thanks for sharing!

    That’s impressive seeing how the game breaks and how speedrunners managed to reach it.
