Reform Party member, Brexiteer, and former Tory MP Douglas Carswell wants to assist in imposing sanctions on Keir Starmer, other individuals (Ofcom board members, key officials in the administrative state) if Twitter/X is banned. Seems a bit treasonous?
Douglas Carswell o @DouglasCarswell Replying to @RepLuna and @X If I might assist, as well as sanctioning Starmer, there are several other individuals, such as the board of Ofcom, and key officials in the administrative state that it would be highly effective to sanction (travel, visa and financial).

Starmer should reconsider this course of action, or there will be consequences. There are always technical bugs during the early phases of new technology, especially Al, and those issues are typically addressed quickly. X treats these matters seriously and acts promptly.

Yes, redaction can often be removed if done improperly (like just black boxes), but properly applied redaction using secure apps permanently deletes sensitive info, making it unrecoverable unless you have the original file. The key difference is if the app just hides the text with a black shape or truly removes the underlying data; secure redaction removes the data, making it gone forever once saved. Always keep the original, unredacted document safe!. o When it's removable (Improper Redaction) • Black Boxes/Shapes: If someone just put a black rectangle over text in an image or PDF without using a proper redaction tool, you can often remove it using photo/PDF editors (like Photoshop GIMP Xodo PDF Studio) to reveal the text underneath. • Metadata: Sometimes, even with simple covering, metadata or traces of original content might remain, but this is less common with good tools. a

Pelo contrário, o que eu consegui achar foi um deles dizendo "Nos usamos IA, mas não muito"
Optimizing resources "We use some AI, but not much," François Meurisse, producer of Clair Obscur, tells EL PAÍS via videoconference. "The key is that we were very clear about what we wanted to do and what to invest in. And, of course, technology has allowed us to do things that were unthinkable a short time ago," explains Meurisse. "Unreal Engine 5's tools and assets have been very important in improving the graphics, gameplay, and cinematics." When he mentions assets, he's refering to pre-built 3D elements -- like a house, a tree, or a path -- that can be used to build scenes, significantly reducing production costs.

Karabarbounis on the related problem of explain the declining labour share is basically highlighting the limitations of the standard aggregate production function approach. Basically you can’t distinguish quite different phenomena when using it.
Technology Perhaps the most intuitive explanation for the decline of the labor share is that capital-augmenting technology has increased over time. Using our labor share solution, we see that this requires an increase in A, and o > 1. The economics of why parameter o affects the relationship between the labor share and capital-augmenting technology are fairly straightforward. Factors are substitutes when • > 1, and thus, following an increase in capital-augmenting technology, production requires more capital relative to labor to accomplish the same level of output. In this case, the labor share decreases.? Despite the appealing economics of how capital-augmenting technology might have affected the labor share, this is also the most irrefutable explanation of the labor share decline. In order to rationalize the decline of the labor share, one could claim that A, decreases over time and factors are complements, o < 1. While this case is nonintuitive because we suspect that technology is improving over time, there is little hope of differentiating between these two explanations. The fundamental problem is that factor-augmenting technologies are not easy to conceptualize and measure. For example, are robots physical capital, or do they augment high-skilled labor's technology? Do improvements in an organization's management increase or decrease the productivity of capital relative to labor? The development of task-based models of the labor market has allowed economists to think more concretely about the role of technology for factor shares. These models emphasize the conceptual difference between tasks, which produce services of output, and skills, which are workers' capabilities for performing tasks. The key assumption is that some types of services can be produced with either capital or labor, whereas other services are produced only with labor. Automation decreases the number of tasks which are produced only with labor, enabling capital to substitute for labor in a larger share of tasks. The economics of automation are similar to an increase in the distribution parameter a in the production function of the firm. As our labor share solution shows, the increase in a unambiguously reduces the labor share, for any value of o. In fact, some researchers use the labor share as a proxy for the displacement of tasks due to automation (Acemoglu and Restrepo 2022). While the economics are similar, task-based frameworks are empirically more appealing than frameworks with factor-augmenting technologies because they are easier to refute using proxies for automation, such as the adoption of robots and the share of routine jobs. One difference between factor-augmenting technology and task-based frameworks is that in the former capital-augmenting technology increases wages, whereas in the latter automation could displace labor demand and lower wages (Acemolgu and Autor 2011).

I bought security keys to prevent SIM swapping, but no cellphone companies in Canada employ the technology. No financial institution uses them either?

Why??
• Al Overview +10 : Security keys, also known as security tokens, are physical devices used for multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance the security of online accounts and sys-tems. They act as a second factor of authentication, complementing passwords and providing a more robust defense against hacking and phishing at-tacks. ® How they work: Physical Authentication: Security keys are hardware devices that users plug into their computers or tap against their phones to authenticate. • Two-Factor Verification: They work by combining something you know (your password) with something you have (the security key), making it much harder for unauthorized individuals to access your accounts. Phishing Resistance: Security keys are resistant to phishing attacks because they rely on a physical device and cryptographic protocols, making it difficult for attackers to trick users into revealing their credentials. ® Types of Security Keys: • USB Security Keys: These keys are plugged into a computer's USB port and often have a button that needs to be pressed to complete the authentication process. ® • NFC Security Keys: These keys can be tapped against a compatible device, like a smartphone, for authentication via near-field communication (NFC). • • Bluetooth Security Keys: Some security keys support Bluetooth for wireless authentication. Key Benefits: Enhanced Security: Security keys offer a significant boost in security compared to passwords alone, making it harder for hackers to gain access to your accounts. ® Phishing Resistance: They are highly effective against phishing attacks, which are a major cause of data breaches. Convenience: Many security keys are small and easy to carry, making them convenient for everyday use. o Passwordless Authentication: They can be used for passwordless login on supported services, simplifying the login process. ® Popular Security Key Brands: YubiKey: Yubico is a well-known brand offering a range of security keys with various features and form factors. o litan Security Key: a..................... Offered by Google, these keys are designed with hardware security features and integrate with Google's ecosystem. ® Feitian: Another popular brand, Feitian offers a variety of security keys compatible with different standards and protocols. o Security Key Series | YubiKeys | Yubico

🆕In a new position, CESAER presents key recommendations to strengthen Europe’s human capital in science and technology, as a cornerstone of competitiveness, resilience and prosperity.

www.cesaer.org/news/union-o...
“Europe’s future prosperity depends on our ability to cultivate, attract and retain the brightest talent in the cutting-edge science and technology that increasingly shape our societies. The Union of Skills must drive a fundamental shift — turning vision into action, ambition into reality and policy into tangible progress by placing research-based and research-led education at its heart. Universities of science and technology are key partners in this mission, seamlessly integrating frontier research, education and innovation to develop the talent and knowledge Europe needs to thrive and compete globally.” -- Orla Feely, President of CESAER and President of University College Dublin “Universities of science and technology are ready to engage as strategic partners for the Union of Skills in shaping policies and frameworks that help define Europe’s future. These universities equip graduates with key competences for today and tomorrow, and they create scientific knowledge, nurture critical thinking, and anticipate and shape the skills and technologies Europe need to lead globally. Crucial for forward-looking talent development, they have strong partnerships with industry and other non-academic stakeholders, driving innovation in education and training to boost Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and prosperity.” -- Roberto Zanino, Director of CESAER, Co-Chair of CESAER Task Force Learning & Teaching, and Rector’s Senior Advisor for International University Networks and the European University Alliance Unite! at Politecnico di Torino “To tackle Europe’s grand challenges, human capital must be a top priority for the EU and its member states. Talented people underpin all policy goals. Strong collaboration with industry enhances adaptability, especially when driven by universities of science and technology at the core of education and skills policies. Their unique role connecting research, education and innovation is essential for shaping future-proof policies that help ensure Europe remains a global leader in advanced science and technologies. Governance must reflect this, with system-wide strategies grounded in scientific and technological foresight.” -- Touko Närhi, Advisor for Benchmark & Higher Education at CESAER
