~"SignalTrace, a system marketed by security company Leonardo, is designed to work alongside automatic license plate readers. The company says it can recognize groups of consumer devices that regularly move together, then associate them with license plate records & time-stamped locations. The pattern can then be searched even when a police investigator doesn't know the plate number."
New surveillance tech links your phone to your license plate ~

Myspace eyes comeback as an "antidote" to social media fatigue — but it may be a long shot.
CNBC reports: "The early 2000s platform would capitalize on nostalgia and rejection of the traditional social media experience."

Good morning, all.
Around my socials I've seen more than a few people asking about Flock cameras, what they are and why people are so angry, so I thought I'd re-share the video I made on Flock and Jeff Sovern, the alleged vigilante who destroyed 13 Flock cameras in his small town.
Please tap the like button if you enjoy the video or learn something new.

According to a former employee, the company is shutting down an office following layoffs and decided to destroy the working MacBooks rather than give them to employees or donate them.
The laptops reportedly feature Apple's M4 chips and 48GB of unified memory, making the decision particularly surprising given the hardware involved.
The company has not been named, and the claim comes from a former employee.

There was once a time when seeking information on a search engine meant scrolling and clicking through to page after page. It’s not that pre-Google search engines like Lycos, AltaVista and Ask Jeeves were inferior. The web was just a lot different back then. @ArsTechnica reminds us:

Always wondered what it would be like to build a PC but were afraid you’d have no idea how to do it? That’s OK. Confusion, failure and experimentation may be the best parts of building computers. Read more from PC World:

My day job basically requires me to use LLMs (or, it is strongly encouraged) on the software that I develop. Now I understand why LLM fatigue and LLM burn-out happens. It is because you constantly have to babysit the LLM to keep it from screwing things up.
Babysitting is exhausting work. At one time in my life, as a 20-something-year-old, I was responsible for a group of 30 kids age 5 to 12. Every day I went home so drained that I could barely stay awake long enough to have dinner. I know from experience that school teachers perform some of the most labor-intensive work in the modern world.
It is what they call “emotional labor.” When other people are unable (as with kids) or unwilling (as with a lazy roommate) to live or play or work with you as a cooperative peer or team member, you essentially have to spend mental energy keeping an eye on them and making sure they aren’t doing something that is disruptive. That mental energy is a real energy cost, it really does consume calories and make you feel tired.
The worst part about it is that the LLM never really “learns.” Kids can learn to work and play with you. Lazy roommates can learn to live with you. But an LLM never really learns, and it keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. People who work with LLMs often end up keeping a directory of scripts they can deploy with a quick copy-paste so they can quickly re-explain something to an LLM. So the fatigue of watching over it and making sure the LLM doesn’t do something wrong is a constant emotional pressure, and it never gets better with age.

I have a #FreeBSD #VM set up in my #homelab for #Poudriere and #Ports. I've dabbled in the Ports system in the past - it's a useful feature, but there's a lot of work in manually managing builds, especially for n=1 systems. Still, it didn't stop me from wanting to use it.
First impressions with Poudriere? Wow, this makes life so much easier. In the context of #IT #Operations, whoa...this goes well beyond just automating builds in dedicated jails, Poudriere now becomes the enterprise package management repo system.
Wicked sick.

This sounds bad. 😬
"In the past five weeks, the market has collapsed, shedding almost 40 per cent, and threatening the livelihood of millions of South Koreans...
More than a million South Koreans are underwater as a result of the crash, and several hundred thousand have lost everything, and then some.
They borrowed to the hilt to take part in a frenzied splurge on technology stocks, particularly memory chip makers, in a market now experiencing a savage reversal.
Nothing, not even the stellar earnings of the country's two biggest chip makers, has been able to stem the panic, primarily because the debt that fuelled the stock market boom is now accentuating the crash."
Tech could be good.
Tech could serve humanity first.
Surveillance capitalism isn't an inherent part of tech, it's an inherent part of capitalism.
We could, and we must, build better tech.
Tech for the people.

There are a lot of sacrifices being made to usher in the latest technological age. Jobs, businesses, even whole industries are at risk of disappearing.
Now we can add homes to the list - as new electricity infrastructure for data centers in the state of Georgia means 30 homes are to be bulldozed and 330 parcels of land seized.

Here’s a job that could potentially see AI replace its current human occupants: scammer. Researchers from four universities carried out a broad study on the use and potential of generative AI chatbots in the growing scam industry centered around text-based romance scams that eventually shift to fake crypto investments that steal as much as six-figure sums from victims. In a nutshell, AI chatbots performed remarkably well. While we wish scams would be a thing of the past, it appears they’re here for the long haul. Read more from @ArsTechnica:
