6·7 days agoMy assumption is the bias is unintentional, at least partially, and just the priorities of recommendations is weighed heavily to encourage engagement above all else, and stoking fear and anger drives engagement. Also the distribution of content could be a factor. On the right, it seems like everyone is trying to get in on the grift of advertising elk meat or trump coin to exploit their viewers, meanwhile high quality journalism and news is under funded. For every Climate Town or A More Perfect Union, there’s tens or hundreds of right wing fearmongering videos.

Technology@lemmy.world•The accidental hacker: how one man gained control of 7,000 robotsEnglish
2·9 days agoI think the lack of author attribution on this article is a hit of AI. Clicking on other articles, they do list the author and don’t have a fake interview tone Question and Answer tone to them.

13·9 days agoWhat is up with the writing style of this article?? Seems like AI Slop, but it’s worse than usual. The Verge article has more details and isn’t written poorly. Check it out and not The Guardian.

Linux@lemmy.ml•On Linux, how do I get the VM host/guest experience but with two physical PCs, such as a "guest" laptop and a "host" desktop PC? [SOLVED]English
1·9 days agoAssuming the laptop you’re looking to control has HDMI out and USB input for Keyboard and mouse, I think you’re right with the KVM switch idea, one that supports USB and HDMI input, and can switch between them between two devices. What I would do is get something which can record HDMI on your main PC. Some gamer devices have HDMI passthrough, which you’d plug into the KVM switch, but you could also use an HDMI splitter to have a feed from the laptop going into the KVM switch and to the recorder on your main computer. On your main computer, you could use OBS Studio to record the video from the laptop.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it possible to pay someone to create an excel sheet for me?English
13·14 days agoIf I were to use an LLM, it would not be to actually upload the PDF and generate the excel document, you’re guaranteed to have made up data if you ask it to do this. What I would do is ask an LLM to write a python script which uses OCR or some other programmatic way to extract the data from the PDF and put it into a CSV to be imported by Excel.
If the PDF has some sort of data aggregation, like a column for a sum of the data in a row, then do not include that in the CSV output, and have excel do the calculation based on the data the script imported. Then you just have to manually check that the values of that column match the PDF to know if there is any wrong data. Obviously if multiple fields are adjusted by bad OCR but negate each other, the sum column would look accurate while the bad data persists, so some more spot checking or additional aggregation would be needed to ensure confidence with the numbers.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs?English
2·19 days agoYes, unless you’re in the UK. Before Advanced data protection was available, Apple was still advertising iMessage as E2EE

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs?English
31·20 days agoProbably yes. General rule of thumb is if you don’t control the keys, it doesn’t matter if it’s E2EE, your communications could be intercepted. Famously iMessage is E2EE but your keys are uploaded to iCloud under standard data protection. They say “Your iCloud data is encrypted, the encryption keys are secured in Apple data centers so we can help you with data recovery, and only certain data is end-to-end encrypted.” [1]. The encryption key is included in iCloud backups which is provided to law enforcement with a subpoena. [2]
Even if a service claims it is E2EE, it’s still important to understand where that those encryption keys are stored, how they’re managed, and if security researchers have raised concerns about the E2EE claim.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada?English
41·21 days agoAny school shooting is tragic, but incessant back to back coverage outside of the immediate affected area is not very helpful to anyone, and has been shown [1] to cause copy cats [2]. The impact to the community shouldn’t be glossed over, but especially for this particular incident, there seems to be a lot of focus on the identity of the shooter (and why it has been a topic of discussion), and that’s what especially results in copy cats. If the goal is to minimize mass shootings, not sensationalizing them is the key.
When I was in IT, had someone who couldn’t get their USB printer to be detected by their laptop. They turned everything on/off and it never would show up. Even I was a little confused, so I unplugged it from the laptop, and then went to go plug it back in, but couldn’t feel the port. I go to take a look, and find there’s no USB ports on that entire side of the laptop. somehow they plugged the USB cable into the Ethernet port.

15·21 days agoIf you take a look at the map, Freedom Drive is not even that useful. At best it is a minor shortcut if you’re coming from Myrtle Ave and need to go south, but don’t want to take Woodhaven Blvd. i guess?




And someone in leadership who isn’t about to die of natural causes.
