Who actually built it? Who, in the US, built it? You’ll be surprised at how much of a distraction “states” are in understanding International action. The same people who set up Israel set up the post-WWII institutions. They have been the greatest beneficiaries of that order and don’t care about nations or states or those categories. What matters is they benefit from as much of human labour as possible.

I might be living on top of a tunnel for all I know now.

Galton introduced fingerprinting in South Africa as an experiment after Indians introduced it to him. Managing miners using fingerprints was one of those moments capitalism and colonialism converged on science and technology and shaped the global sector we now call identification.

"When someone is given this number at birth, it's the same number that will be their school identification number, their university identification number, it will be their ID number when they turn 18, it will be their KRA pin number and their lifetime number... it's a lifetime number from birth to death.

Agree with you.

One thing I have always found precious for my 10+ yrs on forums like reddit and 3+ yrs on fediverse is how high quality conversations are by people who usually don’t obsess about numbers and publicity in likes and upvotes etc.

Genuine communities here on the fediverse will evolve at their own pace.

But who, exactly, is supposed to create this “niche content” for them? I think this is something we underestimate—large swaths of people see themselves as consumers of quality content. It is not for them to bring in comments or interesting finds to the communities. This I think is what makes the internet ripe for centralization. You can’t be a non-paying consumer and choose your menu. You can pay with your behavior datapoints and get fads packaged to you, or you can help create an ecosystem where you don’t have to be spied on every click and tap of the day. Choose your path and make peace with it. The worst would be to help create content for a community and be spied while at it.

 

"We have determined that the information regarding WorldCoin's operations is insufficient to completely exonerate your office. You need to resubmit your answers as to who should be held responsible in this inquiry," Mr Kiarie said.

 

But this empirical facewash evaporates when confronted with whistleblower accounts of hospital administrators who have no medical credentials berating doctors for a "missed hospice opportunity" when a physician opts to keep a patient under their care despite the algorithm's determination.

This is the true "AI Safety" risk. It's not that a chatbot will become sentient and take over the world – it's that the original artificial lifeform, the limited liability company, will use "AI" to accelerate its murderous shell-game until we can't spot the trick:

 

In a communique to the Nation following allegations by Mr Odinga’s camp that Mr Khan’s visit to Kenya last week could interfere with their case at the court, the office of the prosecutor (OTP)’s public information unit clarified that the official was in the country in his private capacity.

I thought I was the only one who saw some lag with Kai today. When the rest of the team is stretching themselves to get that extra pass, he seemed a little out of gas or enthusiasm.

He should be in every game after the 80th minute. He seems to just get it!

Neat!

If you can, please keep supporting the devs with some resources.

For fonts, not really picky, like Roboto works well with web renders. But my point is that there should be font size options like small/large etc. I find it working well on Memmy app.

Sleek! Feels focused on the actual content so, that’s a good one in my books. Font alternatives/options might help for more content on the screen (compact feels easier to handle for me as there is less scrolling).

Happy coding!

 

The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Saturday announced a 10-point charter of demands, including the resignation of the Awami League government and the restoration of the election-time caretaker government system, to restore democracy in the country.

This is something we have the opportunity to address this year through the campaign for the ratification of the African Disability Protocol (ADP). The is the legal framework on which African Union (AU) member-states are expected to formulate disability laws and policies to promote disability rights in their countries. [...] It was adopted in 2018 by the AU, but for it to become legally binding we need 15 member states to sign and ratify it. So far only Mali and Kenya have fully ratified it, while some others are at various stages of signing up.
