LinkedIn Is Scanning Your Browser Extensions. This Is How They Use the Data. — 404
When companies get caught doing this sort of thing, the response is almost always the same: "we're using this technology to combat fraud," or "ensure positive user experience," or "save computing resources," or some other hog wash. The simple truth, there's no reason to be collecting data that can be used to identify a user across the web if they're not signed in to your service. The harm of companies like Experian or LinkedIn being able to correlate all of your web traffic back to you is not

“…this is the first AI film to demonstrate that AI can now sustain character consistency, world coherence, and narrative arc across a complete feature,” is roughly equivalent to “we made a car that actually has wheels and can take you somewhere.”
And it wasn’t in the festival, it just screening in the same town.

First AI-made Feature Film Premieres at Cannes on Higgsfield | Alex Mashrabov posted on the topic | LinkedIn
We just showcased the trailer of our first 95-minute feature film made entirely on Higgsfield in Cannes. Hell Grind is a 95-minute sci-fi heist directed by Aitore Zholdaskali and co-written with Adilkhan Yerzhanov, a two-time Cannes Official Programme filmmaker. A team of 15 professional directors, DPs, and editors made it on Higgsfield in 14 days for under $500K. The traditional comparable production cost is around $50M. But beyond the numbers, this is the first AI film to demonstrate that …

This is an excellent realtalk in the impacts of AI, based on history.

"Revolutions have happened before. People were fine. Life was better after." If you've said something along these lines about AI, I need you to stick with me through 4 hard-to-hear realities: 1. Pre-industrial displacement happened against a backdrop of commons, kin networks, parish relief, subsistence agriculture as a fallback. Inadequate, maybe, but real. Those structures were deliberately dismantled (enclosure, Poor Law reform, criminalization of vagrancy) so labor would have no alternativ…

Common pesticide linked to more than double the risk of Parkinson’s disease
Scientists at UCLA have linked long-term exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos with a sharply increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. People exposed to the chemical near their homes were more than twice as likely to develop the condition. Laboratory studies showed that chlorpyrifos damages dopamine neurons and interferes with the brain’s ability to remove toxic protein buildup.

It appears that I've only indirectly mentioned this antenna here before...
This is a linked dipole optimized for POTA. I use it particularly when I want to increase my chances of a successful activation when it might otherwise be challenging, such as when band conditions are marginal. The one I built is only 286g (~10 oz) including the coax feed line, and it covers all the US bands from 6m to 40m. (I didn't consider that I might some day take it to a country that has the 11m band...) I…
