The Pi is great! Just saying, running a Pi with an object detector on batteries draws around 9W. That's big batteries and solar or wildlife use cases. But think how cool it would be if it could run on 2W. Having said that. The Jetson r

Super interesting. Now what we really need is for Raspberry Pi to make a 2nm version so that the power usage becomes more acceptable for Wildlife and biodiversity use cases. Please, please Raspberry Pi, also make a 2nm version Actually, I t

I build a language called K for my masters thesis in 1984. Who was first ?

by hcfman 2y ago
Totally! I wrote an assembler once for the 6809, it was a lovely architecture.

What about the 6809 processor? I believe this was even simpler, it was very consistent.

This part is interesting: "What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated

Sorry dude. That's personal information. Privacy laws prevent you from finding that out. That's your privacy rights at work in the way they are intended.

I would like to see a new law that puts any member of government found obstructing justice is put in jail. Except that the person responsible for travesty of justice framing 9 innocent people in this Dutch series is currently the president

Nah, the new AI law likely has introduced unacceptable business risk to such things now. But we can always dream.

Laws that are open to interpretation with drastic consequences if it's interpreted against your favour pose unacceptable risk to business investors and stifle innovation.

by hcfman 2y ago
It's not about how the law appears to be. It's about the damage that can be caused through interpretation of the law that's the problem.

by hcfman 2y ago
Ah, but there are loopholes for government use.
133.
by hcfman 2y ago
Yep! Broad. The new EU way. Leave everything open to interpretation so that can slapp you if they don't like you.

So is a burglar alarm that uses AI to see a person on your property and alert the owner (Same function as the old PIR sensors) now AI tech that is predicting that there is a person that might be wanting to commit a crime and thus a banned u

Yep, they want to be able to continue to violate human rights and do the dirty.

These laws will not be applied to the government

Except government systems for the same. In the Netherlands we had the benefits affaire. A system that attempted to predict people committing benefits crime. Destroying the lives of more than 25,000 people before anyone kicked in. Do you thi

Except they don’t. Have I been saved with the cookie law ? No, it’s just a pain in the arse for everyone. But we got net neutrality right ? Well no, they fucked that up as well with ISP blocking whatever ports they want. The law is useless.

I think that concern is quite valid. But it's a choice I guess. I for one would not choose that option for exactly the argument you provide. The damage caused by having your resource become unusable I think in most or a lot of cases is

Pretty interesting. Also because Norways wealth then depends on something we are trying to get rid of. It will then be interesting what happens when it's gone.

I'm referring to the ridiculous concern about young minds being exposed to one sort of content, yes it is about content, whilst another sort there's no concern about in the slightest. The choices are bizzare. I assume that discord

Around 30 years ago they got caught out with this sort of thing. It resulted in a scanal called "The IRT affaire", it's on netflix I think. They waited 4 years, learnt from their mistakes, now their new way of working is to d

Yep. The Netherlands is one of those places. They have made extra judicial punishment a way of working. They call it an “intervention”. And they will make use of all the government organisations to do it. those organisations just have to fo

Perhaps we should also make it illegal to report on the war in the Middle East in case young people find it traumatising to see that that the western democracies are supporting dropping 2000 pound bombs on children in other countries. Can y

Good point bringing up smoking. Why don’t they just make smoking illegal in every country ? Because it’s impractical. Same as this law.
