AI-equipped police body cameras in Canada's Edmonton spark ethical concerns
Police in Edmonton, Canada, have started a pilot project using AI-equipped body cameras to detect faces on a "high risk" watch list. The move by Axon Enterprise, Inc. has raised ethical concerns, especially since the company previously paused facial recognition due to privacy issues. The pilot aims to enhance officer and public safety by identifying individuals flagged for a history of serious offenses. However, critics worry about societal risks and the lack of public debate. Axon CEO Rick Smi…

I think I've met more interesting western #expats in a week in #Malaysia than I do in a year in #Japan.

The painter Henri Rousseau
(1844–1910)
famously never left France;
He concocted his fantastical jungles from visits to the botanical gardens in Paris,
images in books and taxidermized specimens in natural history museums,
and a teeming visual imagination.
The results are on view in a mesmerizing exhibition,
“Henri Rousseau: A Painter’s Secrets,”
at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia until Feb. 22.
These works haven’t been assembled …

Back to delayering the PIC12F683. I have a ton of imagery and could do some narrated analysis already but my throat is still sore from being sick so I don't want to be recording any audio.
This is after another three minutes in room temperature Whink. I got a fresh squirt of acid in case the old stuff was getting reacted away but I don't think there is enough glass in this sample to meaningfully dilute it.

Pocked with bullet holes and cracked at its pedestal by an off-road vehicle,
the Georgia Historical Society marker reads in part:
“Mary Turner, eight months pregnant,
was burned, mutilated, and shot to death by a mob
after publicly denouncing her husband’s lynching the previous day. …
No charges were ever brought against known or suspected participants in these crimes.
From 1880-1930, as many as 550 people were killed in Georgia in these illegal acts of mo…

Vandalized historic memorial to 1918 lynching now on exhibit in Atlanta museum
An exhibit opening Monday in Atlanta shows a historical marker from the site of a 1918 lynching that was repeatedly vandalized. Pocked with bullet holes and broken at the pedestal, it memorializes an event that some in rural southern Georgia tried hard to erase: the killing of Mary Turner by a white mob. She was set upon after protesting the lynching of her husband, Hayes Turner, and at least 10 other Black people. The violence built support for anti-lynching legislation, though it would not be…
