IDK about the admins, but community mods in the lemmyverse can ban other users for whatever reason they want and that happens all the time (“serial downvoting” is the most common excuse I’ve seen, the pro-AI communities do it all the time to shore up the walls of their echo chambers…). At the admin level, .world notoriously rarely bans at the instance level, whereas .ml … does tend to do that, yeah.
Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

We’ve seen SMCF’s dreams.
They need to stay dreams.
It’s a meme sure, but it’s a dismissive meme about an issue that when poorly handled, kills people. That people have a heated reaction isn’t entirely unexpected, nor strictly unreasonable.

441·7 days agoLies and deception - one on the right was clearly made in a mold and never had a proper skin in the first place.
Death toll in the jail article is ~1029 yearly, if its explicitly stated I didn’t see it. That was calculated from the figures given (total pop 735k * death rate of 1.4/1000) (That number is wrong, as stated in the article the actual rate is likely to be slightly higher because they had to exclude a great many sources from their sample due to bad or questionable data).
It should be noted that those deaths aren’t divided by cause: police muders, inmate violence, deaths from pre-existing conditions, lightning strikes, deaths from conditions exacerbated by the quality of care available in the prision, dying from old age, fatal infections from rusty stairs, deaths from food poisoning, fatal allergic reactions to bee-stings, suicides etc. are all lumped together because they’re all relevant to the conclusions of the study, but aren’t necessarily relevant here.
Those… look it’s NOT hard to find data to show the death toll for the US, so why did you go with such horrible examples?
There is no widely agreed on figure for the number of people that have been killed so far in the war on terror as the Bush Administration has defined it to include the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and operations elsewhere. According to Joshua Goldstein, an international relations professor at the American University, the global war on terror has seen fewer war deaths than any other decade in the past century.
Like beyond how rough the numbers are: the wiki pages all include the total death counts, but those are both coalition wars and the total deaths are not broken down at all. This data exists, you can find it, but you can’t find it there so why use it?
Similarly, the paper on jail deaths very much does not answer the question, as it is an analytical study on the impact of jail conditions on mortality and explicitly does not address the causal conditions of those deaths:
[…] health and mortality data for people who are incarcerated or in police custody have been shown to be “incomplete…incorrect… [and] anachronistic,”42 and jail data may underestimate deaths or contain inaccuracies related to causes of death. Finally, the associations found in the study do not suggest causality.
It is not hard to show what you want to show. By instead providing such poor quality sources, you undermine the credibility of your point to a spectacular degree. Like. Just use real numbers? Hell, it’s not hard to find very reasonable estimates on death tolls from imperialism itself. But notoriously vague values from sources that explicitly clarify their own imprecision is just a terrible way to approach this.

2·12 days agoEr… no, reddit still very much has porn. And it’s not deepfakes specifically but the premise of specifically deepfaking deceased people.

1·12 days agoPublic figures (oversimplification) already forgo copyright on their name and image, that’s why you can buy things like halloween costumes of trump & fat vance. You could also include language to prevent extending copyright protections in cases of things like “recording criminal activity” (i.e. security cameras or similar) in the context of reporting that activity.

6·12 days agoI’ve been swayed towards advocating that people should automatically hold the copyright over images of their own appearance - by no means a great solution, but it would work to combat the vast majority of extreme creep behavior until we can figure out something better

5·12 days agoFrom what I remember it was mostly a control-over-their-body thing. “Ha, I can make porn of you and you can’t stop me” sorta deal. Deeply horrible, though I did just check and it looks like it’s either been taken down or I can’t find it, so there’s that…!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In the future, there will be a sad scene of a widow watching AI porn of their dead spouse
44·12 days agoYeah the future is now: there’s an entire subreddit devoted to deepfaking porn videos of dead women (and it has been around for years! What a great website!)
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results.
DDG uses a whole bunch of stuff, including feeding anonymized results through the bing API, but they’ve been largely driven by their own indexes for several years now after using Bing to bootstrap themselves.

Technology@lemmy.ml•The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal
25·15 days agoThe FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access” and introduced the report as a warning about “extremist actors targeting law enforcement officers and federal facilities”.
Remember kids, look into securing your phone & only add people to your group chats that you have good reason to trust.
I wasn’t really referring to this post with that question - though it is relevant that leaving even an effectively unconstrained field like one that allows for the shrek script to be submitted would have seen me fired (if it had somehow passed QC, field sizes are one of the first things checked).
I was more curious about how different our experiences seem to be: you seem to imply a background where you’re expected to take the requirements as gospel with what you write based solely off that unless you’re personally invested, whereas in my experience engaging critically with the project is the single most important aspect of the development process, and not questioning potentially unwanted behavior leaves you open to firing (or criminal neglect if you’re dealing with medical PII, criminal records, etc…)
I’m quite genuinely interested in the different approach to development philosophy you present here.
Sincere question, are you not expected to clarify questionable business rules? I’ve never worked somewhere that leaving such an obvious issue like “unrestricted fields in a public-facing application” without getting it explicitly stated that that’s intended functionality wouldn’t have gotten me fired instantly.
Yeah, sleepy and wasn’t thinking about file sizes. That 1Gb limit (or, the Tsql 65,536 * [something] limit) was what I was referring to, but rather obviously the plaintext script for the movie is a just a little tiny bit smaller than that (51kb).
It’s still a good deal larger than what in my experience can be fit into a receipt printer, but I can forgive their phrasing even if it was only a small part of the whole script. And aside from that, it does look to be a pretty modern device so it’s very possible that the stupid stupid 20kb file size limit that was so common has since been expanded (Last time I had to deal with a receipt printer the file was streamed over a serial connection into the printer cache before being run off G-code style. Incredibly charming piece of tech…)


Duplicity! Scoundrel!
