“much worst?”

SpaceNoodle ,

They’ve got loads of slaves they can throw at it, why not?

SpaceNoodle ,

Have less data?

Cut the files in half and splice them back together if you need them?

Judges aiming to give Black voters more influence in Alabama set to redraw congressional districts (apnews.com)

A federal judge said Tuesday that the court will soon adopt new congressional districts for Alabama, choosing among proposals aimed at giving Black voters a greater opportunity to influence election outcomes in the Deep South state....

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, this is a rather twisted headline coming from AP.

Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm (www.theverge.com)

Amazon reportedly used a secret algorithm to jack up prices — A new report details Amazon’s Project Nessie pricing algorithm::Amazon deployed a secret algorithm to gauge how high it could raise prices before its competitors stopped increasing their prices as well.

SpaceNoodle ,

This is news? I know that gas stations specifically have been doing it forever.

SpaceNoodle ,

Probably because the pricing changes weren’t driven by demand, but rather by competition.

SpaceNoodle ,

One time at work I had five different people at my cubicle all trying to talk to me at the same time.

I’ve blocked out what happened next.

SpaceNoodle ,

I probably just had a mini meltdown while my manager ran crowd control.

SpaceNoodle ,

Very few lives were lost.

SpaceNoodle ,

Seasick, as it’s the boat’s motion that is affecting you.

SpaceNoodle ,

Yes. I’ve sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.

SpaceNoodle ,

Boat captains HATE this one trick!

SpaceNoodle ,

Jeezus I forgot about that for like 20 yeara

SpaceNoodle ,

Is this supposed to be legible?

SpaceNoodle ,

For some reason it was miniscule and illegible on my laptop.

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, and it was just a tiny illegible image in a sea of black.

SpaceNoodle ,

If only there has been a good officiant with a gun!

SpaceNoodle ,

You don’t have to say “over” at the end when you’re writing things out.

SpaceNoodle ,

Apple continues the tradition of being an asshole

SpaceNoodle ,

A fucking Garth Marenghi reference? This is wild.

SpaceNoodle ,

Sounds like something a band nerd would say.

SpaceNoodle ,

This looks like an excerpt from a medical text regarding strokes.

Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy (www.businessinsider.com)

Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy::Amazon is now sharing individual employee office attendance records in its latest move to force workers back to the office.

SpaceNoodle ,

I sincerely doubt that.

SpaceNoodle ,

I left Amazon as an L6 after a decade, and we never had access to that sort of data.

SpaceNoodle ,

Is it possible that you’re full of shit?

SpaceNoodle ,

He is doing something about them: he is specifically and purposefully enabling them.

SpaceNoodle ,

Pretty sure Anton Yelchin and Benedict Cumberbatch were both in Star Trek: Into Darkness

SpaceNoodle ,

let me live my dream

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, all carnivores should drop dead.

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, we should grind their bones for meal instead.

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, that’s kinda the point. They literally tell you that your voice interactions are used to improve the service.

SpaceNoodle ,

I just followed the steps on their site. Containers give me cancer, so I did a real install on my home server.

Caveat: I am a professional software engineer (but I didn’t really have to hack anything)

SpaceNoodle ,

Not every conversation, just statements following a detected wake word.

SpaceNoodle ,

Source: their ass.

Alexa devices use an onboard DSP to detect the wakeword and maintain a rolling audio buffer. On a positive match, the DSP wakes the main CPU which combines the saved buffer and any following speech and uploads it to the cloud where Alexa lives so she can try to figure out what you meant.

No audio is uploaded without being triggered by a wakeword. Also, the “mute” button physically cuts power to the mic, and the indicator LED is hardwired to the power rail as a failsafe indicator.

SpaceNoodle ,

That was more for everyone else’s edification. I worked on a plethora of Amazon devices over the course of a decade.

SpaceNoodle ,

“just Google it, bro” is never a source.
