These are some good papers to focus on for how to smell academic bullshit.

Maoo , in IBM Is in Advanced Talks to Acquire Software Provider HashiCorp

Nice. Hashicorp is already in the "fuck around" phase of closing up their software licenses using contributor agreements and now everyone that uses their software will enjoy a delightful "finding out" (massive price increases and stagnation).

deafboy , in US charges Samourai cryptomixer founders for laundering $100 million

I wonder if the samourai app still leaks the xpubs, and where will all those api calls end up now that the domains has been hijacked by the cops.

Machine learning assisted phrenology!

History feels more and more cyclical every fucking day, I swear.

shalafi ,

Bumps on one's skull is a far cry from facial features. We humans intake a wealth of data from faces.

nahuse ,

Facial expressions, sure. But this study measured still photos from volunteers.

MajorHavoc ,

Yeah. I actually didn't have "bring back Phrenology" on my "systemic regression into the dark ages" bingo card.

Reaper knocking on doors meme

RedHat: killed

HashiCorp: next

"About as predictive as job interviews for job success"

So really fucking bad?

r = 0.23

Lmao.

Is this a joke? This isn't even close to a correlation. If anything this is evidence of a lack of correlation.

As a human I feel like I can make a damned good guess as to someone's politics by looking at them. We're really, really good at picking up clues from faces, even if we're not conscious as to why we're getting those clues.

Despite being an avid shooter, I'm very liberal. No one I've talked to, or been around, regarding guns has ever assumed I'm conservative. In fact, I've noticed they're damned careful to dance around politics around me.

Maybe it's the long hair? OTOH, I can be red necked out in my attire and holding an AR-15 and people still won't being up conservative views. And I'm in a very conservative area where it's safe to assume a guy that looks like me is a Trump voter.

I could see an AI correlating 10,000 facial cues to make an accurate guess. Interesting to think on.

rsh , in US bans TikTok owner ByteDance, will prohibit app in US unless it is sold

They should have made the ban take effect immediately, with the possibility of being turned back on after sale.

I'm politically affiliated with that rich nasa furry that makes six figures.

TC_209 , in AI Can Tell Your Political Affiliation Just by Looking at Your Face, Researchers Find

No it can't.

cheesorist , in AI Can Tell Your Political Affiliation Just by Looking at Your Face, Researchers Find

just because ai does something doesn't mean it's done correctly.

So the owner of Ansible (which they acquired) is acquiring Terraform.

Are everyone's antitrust laws completely toothless?

awwwyissss , in US bans TikTok owner ByteDance, will prohibit app in US unless it is sold

Good.

EmperorHenry , in FBI warns against using unlicensed crypto transfer services
@EmperorHenry@infosec.pub avatar

"Licensed" means they've registered with the feds, if they've done that, it means the feds can monitor your transactions.

Use Monero over Tor with obfuscation. Double the untraceability.
