@GhostOnTheHalfShell @heidilifeldman I don't think the owner of the camera is even aware that the data is being used by Amazon, in most cases?
They're not being paid for it - the data is being taken.
Yes, probably not.
But I’d also like to suggest that if they have these devices and they know the data is being transmitted, they are complict . My attitude is these cameras are known to be transmitting information and I don’t know if somebody outside of that building whether or not the owner gives a shit or not. My privacy should depend on the moral sentiment of some paranoid asshole, who wants to track who and what walks by his house 24 7.

The reason why I say this is because not only our flock cameras sprouting up in my area, particularly around the perimeter of the Presidio in San Francisco, but surveillance cameras are popping up on the outside of houses all over the neighborhoods. Everywhere I look, I see cameras, staring in my direction.
It’s obscene and I’m kind of fed up about it.

As for me, it may not worth to spend time hacking devices which are not intended to be hackable.
If someone really wants the locked device to not share data, network firewall/filter should good enough (+probably avoid devices with cellular modem).
What's wrong with the link, is it paywalled? -

“The only winning move is not to play.”For that money and the assumed effort to hack an assumingly tamper-resistant device, one would go further making a DIY platform with off the shelf components, that your local hackerspace could provide.

I don't understand why these are not illegal in the EU.
The Irish branches of B&Q sell them. -

Fuck no. If I even was inclined to figure out how to disable Ring, I'm sure as shit not going to help Amazon improve their mass surveillance technology. Especially not for a paltry US$10k.
I'm taking that shit out. Completely. I'd burn it down. For free. For the sheer satisfaction of it. #privacy

@heidilifeldman It connects to WiFi, though set up an firewall at your router and block te ip to Amazon. With Wireshark or other software you can identify the datastream.

They're probably rather motivated to brick the cameras, even for free…

@heidilifeldman solved it, money please.

The AI doesn't even need to actually attend the conference. If it knows what kind of stuff you're interested in, it can just generate it.

Quizzino della domenica: dadi riordinati

@danjones000 @Matt_Noyes It does not hurt to try to reduce those emissions; reducing any emissions is good.
But shaming people for using AI as if they are solely responsible for climate change is intellectually dishonest.
There are plenty of other problems with AI; "burning up the planet" is not a convincing one.

Quieting Noisy Resistors
[Hans Rosenberg] has a new video talking about a nasty side effect of using resistors: noise. If you watch the video below, you’ll learn that there are two sources of resistor noise: Johnson noise, which doesn’t depend on the construction of the resistor, and 1/f noise, which does vary depending on the material and construction of the resistor.
In simple terms, some resistors use materials that cause electron flow to take different paths through the resistor. That means that different parts of the signal experience slightly different resistance values. In simple applications, it won’t matter much, but in places where noise is an important factor, the 1/f or excess noise contributes more to errors than the Johnson noise at low frequencies.
[Hans] doesn’t just talk the math. He also built a simple test rig that lets him measure the 1/f noise with some limitations. While you might pretend that all resistors are the same, the test shows that thick film resistors produce much more noise than other types.
The video shows some rule-of-thumb lists indicating which resistors have better noise figures than others. Of course, resistors are only one source of noise in circuits. But they are so common that it is easy to forget they aren’t as perfect as we pretend in our schematics.
Want to learn more about noise? We can help. On the other hand, noise isn’t always a bad thing.

@sako this looks so beautiful!

@danjones000 @Matt_Noyes electricity is only about 1/3 of global emissions. All data centers, including AI datacenters, are only 1% of electricity usage. That makes 0.3% of total emissions.
Much more emissions are due to cars, meat, cement production and rice cultivation.
I recognize that AI has a lot of electricity use; it is nothing compared to the other things you do with your time.

Oh no, Deep Space Nine auto-played after Starfleet Academy. Now I have to watch the whole thing for the third or fourth time. No other option, I guess.
