I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs
Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this
Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU
SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.
so. 1) not a violation
I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw
I have disputed the fact of the violation
I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH
So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)
OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket
#it's a relatively privileged problem to have (omg i have a home truly i am grateful) but it's still a goddamned problem and i'm allowed#to fucking complain about it#in case it needs to be said#*rolling my eyes*#i advocate for free/actually affordable housing for everyone who needs it because we ALL deserve a safe secure stable home#whatever type of home that may be#it is absolutely goddamned ridiculous that megacorps can buy all the housing#rent it out at extortionate rates and evict people willy nilly#and we're talking about a “housing crisis” and not a “STOP LETTING CORPORATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES HOARD ALL THE HOUSING” crisis#goddamn.#ha elect me president (ahaha don't do this i am not a good public speaker) and I'll push congress to pass some really neat legislation#hey be more direct: elect me to congress (ahaha don't do this) and i'll WRITE some goddamn nifty legislation and yell about it as long and#as loud as i can until people start to just fucking say yes to make me shut the fuck up#(i know that's not how it works. again. don't actually elect me to a government position)#exemplia gratis:#No individual person shall own more than 6 homes UNLESS they pay a Housing Market Shrinkage Fee for removing viable housing from the market#why 6 and not 2? 2 is a lot! it's excessive! but having A vacation home shouldn't be a crime. Having 5 vacation homes is ridiculous and#awful and whatever but it's not likely to be the source of all our greatest “housing shortage” problems. no. I'm aiming for the absolutely#monstrously greedy and egregious motherfuckers who---ok#hang on. how many homes does the average min and max homeowner own? I would like to see data on that. but anyway#the next part of the legislation:#Homes owned >6 shall be charged X% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee UNLESS they are rented for affordable (15% or less than renter net income)#housing and are actively occupied by said renters. Rented out and charging more than 15% of renter's net? still gotta pay up.#EMPTY housing >6 shall be subject to an additional Y% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee (tax? should I call it a tax?) which increases with ever#month that the housing goes unoccupied. no one living in it? sell it rent it or pay the fuck up. and still pay the fuck up if you rent it#for way too goddamn much money#but like. less. we only REALLY hate you if you sit on empty houses that you don't even let anyone use#ok that's individuals. now onto BUSINESSES#ok so immediately it gets a little complicated cuz like presumably there's rental management businesses that don't own the rental propertie#that they manage BUT there are also companies that just outright own a shitfuckton of housing and THIS is the truly egregious monstrous sid

The fact that Apple reportedly sells Apple TVs for $100+ and they’re STILL at a loss should tell you just how shady the smart TV market is. When you buy a Roku or a Smart TV, you’re buying a screen grabber. I’m not kidding. Most modern Smart TVs have a screen monitoring program built in to content match whatever you’re watching or playing (yes, even on external HDMI inputs) and sell that data to advertisers. The reason flat screen TVs have gotten so cheap isn’t because of production costs falling, but rather these companies selling the hardware to you at a loss, and then secretly selling your information and viewing habits to make up the difference. I’m not exaggerating. They’re are guides online on how to disable this screen grabbing software on a per TV-manufacturer basis. I highly recommend you look them up, or simply never connect your TV to the internet in the first place and deny it access to do so.

Deepfake misuse & deepfake detection (before it’s too late) - CyberTalk
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/deepfake-misuse-deepfake-detection-before-its-too-late-cybertalk/
Deepfake misuse & deepfake detection (before it’s too late) - CyberTalk
Micki Boland is a global cyber security warrior and evangelist with Check Point’s Office of the CTO. Micki has over 20 years in ICT, cyber security, emerging technology, and innovation. Micki’s focus is helping customers, system integrators, and service providers reduce risk through the adoption of emerging cyber security technologies. Micki is an ISC2 CISSP and holds a Master of Science in Technology Commercialization from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MBA with a global security concentration from East Carolina University.
In this dynamic and insightful interview, Check Point expert Micki Boland discusses how deepfakes are evolving, why that matters for organizations, and how organizations can take action to protect themselves. Discover on-point analyses that could reshape your decisions, improving cyber security and business outcomes. Don’t miss this.
Can you explain how deepfake technology works?
Deepfakes involve simulated video, audio, and images to be delivered as content via online news, mobile applications, and through social media platforms. Deepfake videos are created with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), a type of Artificial Neural Network that uses Deep Learning to create synthetic content.
GANs sound cool, but technical. Could you break down how they operate?
GAN are a class of machine learning systems that have two neural network models; a generator and discriminator which game each other. Training data in the form of video, still images, and audio is fed to the generator, which then seeks to recreate it. The discriminator then tries to discern the training data from the recreated data produced by the generator.
The two artificial intelligence engines repeatedly game each other, getting iteratively better. The result is convincing, high quality synthetic video, images, or audio. A good example of GAN at work is NVIDIA GAN. Navigate to the website https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and you will see a composite image of a human face that was created by the NVIDIA GAN using faces on the internet. Refreshing the internet browser yields a new synthetic image of a human that does not exist.
What are some notable examples of deepfake tech’s misuse?
Most people are not even aware of deepfake technologies, although these have now been infamously utilized to conduct major financial fraud. Politicians have also used the technology against their political adversaries. Early in the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia created and disseminated a deepfake video of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy advising Ukrainian soldiers to “lay down their arms” and surrender to Russia.
How was the crisis involving the Zelenskyy deepfake video managed?
The deepfake quality was poor and it was immediately identified as a deepfake video attributable to Russia. However, the technology is becoming so convincing and so real that soon it will be impossible for the regular human being to discern GenAI at work. And detection technologies, while have a tremendous amount of funding and support by big technology corporations, are lagging way behind.
What are some lesser-known uses of deepfake technology and what risks do they pose to organizations, if any?
Hollywood is using deepfake technologies in motion picture creation to recreate actor personas. One such example is Bruce Willis, who sold his persona to be used in movies without his acting due to his debilitating health issues. Voicefake technology (another type of deepfake) enabled an autistic college valedictorian to address her class at her graduation.
Yet, deepfakes pose a significant threat. Deepfakes are used to lure people to “click bait” for launching malware (bots, ransomware, malware), and to conduct financial fraud through CEO and CFO impersonation. More recently, deepfakes have been used by nation-state adversaries to infiltrate organizations via impersonation or fake jobs interviews over Zoom.
How are law enforcement agencies addressing the challenges posed by deepfake technology?
Europol has really been a leader in identifying GenAI and deepfake as a major issue. Europol supports the global law enforcement community in the Europol Innovation Lab, which aims to develop innovative solutions for EU Member States’ operational work. Already in Europe, there are laws against deepfake usage for non-consensual pornography and cyber criminal gangs’ use of deepfakes in financial fraud.
What should organizations consider when adopting Generative AI technologies, as these technologies have such incredible power and potential?
Every organization is seeking to adopt GenAI to help improve customer satisfaction, deliver new and innovative services, reduce administrative overhead and costs, scale rapidly, do more with less and do it more efficiently. In consideration of adopting GenAI, organizations should first understand the risks, rewards, and tradeoffs associated with adopting this technology. Additionally, organizations must be concerned with privacy and data protection, as well as potential copyright challenges.
What role do frameworks and guidelines, such as those from NIST and OWASP, play in the responsible adoption of AI technologies?
On January 26th, 2023, NIST released its forty-two page Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and AI Risk Management Playbook (NIST 2023). For any organization, this is a good place to start.
The primary goal of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework is to help organizations create AI-focused risk management programs, leading to the responsible development and adoption of AI platforms and systems.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework will help any organization align organizational goals for and use cases for AI. Most importantly, this risk management framework is human centered. It includes social responsibility information, sustainability information and helps organizations closely focus on the potential or unintended consequences and impact of AI use.
Another immense help for organizations that wish to further understand risk associated with GenAI Large Language Model adoption is the OWASP Top 10 LLM Risks list. OWASP released version 1.1 on October 16th, 2023. Through this list, organizations can better understand risks such as inject and data poisoning. These risks are especially critical to know about when bringing an LLM in house.
As organizations adopt GenAI, they need a solid framework through which to assess, monitor, and identify GenAI-centric attacks. MITRE has recently introduced ATLAS, a robust framework developed specifically for artificial intelligence and aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

obnoxious that I can't just use a computer to do the things I've always used computers to do, now I have to use two different computers including one with specialized hardware for interfacing with an entirely different network of interdevice communication. I don't wanna turn on goddamn mfa, and it's insufferable when I have to goddamn pull out another hundreds of dollars of tech just to be allowed to use your site's search (because you forbid it unauthenticated)
#on the one hand I get that having stronger security for authentication is nice.#on the other hand though. if you don't trust the individual with whom you have to authenticate for the service they have a monopoly over#then you have to fuckin sacrifice your operational security in the name of making some other individual feel better about their lax securit#which like. fine whatever dont do business with people you dont wanna do business with. except for like. fucking github#like you want the gpl'ed source code for the quake engine#youre gonna have to endure microsoft and github and a million petty tyrants who demand every bit of data just for fundamental functionality#ugh I don't know I have any coherent complaints I'm just whinging bc I had to use two computers for a task one computer can do

Broadcom's AI surge challenges Nvidia's dominance
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/broadcoms-ai-surge-challenges-nvidias-dominance/
Broadcom's AI surge challenges Nvidia's dominance
.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;
Riding the AI wave, semiconductor giant Broadcom has joined the stampede of companies chasing Nvidia for a piece of the lucrative AI chip market. The computing and software conglomerate is up more than 66% in the past year, as it makes power moves to establish itself as one of the most dominant players in AI today. Broadcom has been making aggressive moves that have piqued the interest of analysts and investors, from buying VMware in a $61 billion deal to strengthen its data centre and cloud chops, to investments in AI chip R&D.
Central to Broadcom’s AI aspirations now is its fast-growing AI-connected chip business, which the company said it now forecasts will bring in an astounding $11 billion in revenue for fiscal 2024, up from a previous forecast of $10 billion. Combined with a 15% jump in Broadcom Inc shares recently, the upward revision reinforces the strong appetite for chips driving the rise of generative AI.
Morningstar analysts agreed in a note to Reuters that Broadcom remains “we continue to see Broadcom as incredibly well-positioned to benefit from rising generative AI investment in the long term,�� — a view widely held on Wall Street. A second explanation for the upswing in AI for Broadcom is essentially through buying or investing very well over the years.
They come as one of three planned spinoffs in Dell’s drive to become a full-fledged cloud computing firm with the $61 billion acquisition of VMware next year, which also added $50 billion to its market capitalisation, per FactSet data. In addition, Broadcom has been ramping up its own custom AI chip business, inking deals with tech giants including Alphabet’s Google and Meta Platforms.
In March, the company revealed that a third unidentified customer was using its custom AI chips, which gave its business credibility in this high-stakes industry. According to Reuters, “At an investor conference on Wednesday, Broadcom said it will produce the new custom AI chips for ‘hyperscaler’ buyers that are mostly Alphabet’s Google and Meta Platforms.”
Diversified revenue streams and investor optimism
Broadcom’s software division, bolstered by the VMware acquisition, added $2.7 billion to its second-quarter revenue, further diversifying the company’s revenue streams and positioning it as a formidable force in the AI ecosystem. The company’s stock performance reflects this optimism, with shares surging 76% over the past 12 months and closing at a staggering $1,495.5 on Wednesday.
Broadcom’s recent announcement of a 10-for-1 stock split, a move reminiscent of Nvidia’s strategy, is expected to further fuel investor enthusiasm. “It’s a sure-fire way to send your stock soaring,” Triple D Trading analyst Dennis Dick told Reuters, commenting on the stock split, adding that the move was “right out of Nvidia’s book.”
Nvidia’s dominance and competitive pressure
Broadcom is progressing, but Nvidia is still the leader in this space. For years, Nvidia has benefited from the first-mover advantage of producing AI chips that cater to a long tail of applications while favoring innovation over turning in big volume. While that balance appears to be in flux, Broadcom’s recent wins shed light on how the writing may be on the wall for a boom in AI now benefiting more than just one company.
This new contender has even forced Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang to admit that ‘a resurgent Broadcom (and other start-ups) have planners at Nvidia nervous. Huang, for his part, stressed how the company must continue to innovate to ensure that it remains ahead of its peers. Nevertheless, competition has yet to make a dent on Nvidia’s enviable lead in the AI chip market as the company busily cranks out its top-performing AI tech.
Broadcom vs Nvidia: The battle for AI chip supremacy
Unlike Nvidia’s graphics processing units which have long dominated the industry, Broadcom’s custom AI chips – or application-specific integrated circuits – might offer a great business opportunity for tech giants with massive and steady-state AI workloads. These bespoke chips require considerable initial capital investment but they can offer large cost savings in both CapEx and power consumption, which sets them up as a more cost-effective (if less general purpose) option to Nvidia’s.
Also bullish on Broadcom is Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar, who writes, “We continue to see [Broadcom] as the best AI play [excluding Nvidia] due to its strong positioning in the custom ASIC business along with its strong software portfolio.”
Broadcom’s multi-pronged strategy of pumping cash into buyouts, offering bespoke chips and expanding into a software business has established it as a strong rival, as the AI revolution shows few signs of abating. Nvidia is still the undisputed leader in the industry, but Broadcom’s bold AI play here was enough to light a fire under investors and analysts both, sowing the seeds of what could become an epic showdown in the market for AI chips.

Enhancing Business Efficiency with Digital Tools
Efficiency in the rapidly changing business environment today is an absolute need rather than a buzzword. Businesses that want to be competitive have to find ways of making their operations seamless, increasing productivity, and managing resources better. Digital tools have come out as strong enablers in bringing changes to business conducted across industries. Besides simplifying complex processes, they empower organizations to focus on what matters most: delivering value to their customers.
In this section, we will discuss the transformational power of digital tools that will help drive efficiency in all levels of operation, right from business operations to customer engagement.
The Role of Digital Tools in Modern Business
Digital tools integrated into business processes have transformed the way organizations work. So many activities, which required so much manual effort earlier and thus took more time, were also prone to error. Advanced software and technologies have now taken over most of those jobs and therefore not only save a lot of time but also minimize mistakes.
Digital tools have given companies a clear structure as to how to organize information, cooperate, and present results expected from them. Be it a project management tool that guides the teams on how to remain on target or an AI-powered chatbot that will be able to handle customer inquiries, all are designed to help optimize every business aspect. Adaptability and scalability make them irreplaceable for everything from startups and small businesses to multinational corporations.
Beyond this, digital tools democratized efficiency: even small businesses could use technologies that were available only to large organizations, which directly levels the competitive playing field.
Streamlining Operations with Automation
Behind all the digital helpers is automation-a better way of executing of repetitive tasks efficiently. Things like invoicing, data entry, and even inventory management could be handled by the software without much intervention of human resources. That has freed some really valuable time and reduced the likeliness of errors.
For instance, the automated tools operating in the field of supply chain management continuously track inventory levels, forecast demand, and control procurement. At the same time, the CRM software automates interactions with clients to free up the sales teams' time for nurturing the relationships rather than dealing with paperwork.
Moreover, digital tools are very crucial for human resource management. From recruitment to onboarding, all these functions of the employee lifecycle are made quite easy by the automation of various HR functions on the platforms. Performance tracking tools will definitely enable managers to set clear goals and give feedback.
Enhancing Communication and Collaboration
Effective communication and collaboration are key in business. In modern times, especially with the introduction of remote and hybrid work, the way teams connect has totally changed. Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom have become indispensable in this regard and help one stay in touch with team members instantly over miles of distance.
These tools have opened ways for teams to share files, brainstorm ideas, and hold virtual meetings with ease. They break down silos, creating an environment where information flows freely and decisions are made quicker. When it comes to project management, platforms like Trello and Asana create one central space in which teams can track progress, assign tasks, and meet deadlines.
Collaboration is not restricted to internal teams; digital collaboration tools ensure communication even with external parties. Be it the sharing of proposals with clients or the management of vendor relationships, such technologies ensure everyone stays informed and in sync. Additionally, leveraging digital experiences like Publitas can take communication to the next level by creating visually engaging catalogs and resources for partners and customers alike.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Data analytics in today's digital world is one of the most changing aspects of how businesses can transform data into action. Businesses have to deal with a lot of data every day, and all this data has their usage, which only a few modern-day software can deliver by analyzing information, identifying patterns, and therefore, turning insights into actions.
For example, e-commerce applies analytics to follow consumer behavior in order to fine-tune marketing campaigns and improve the products on offer. Financial applications present a view of every business in real-time, thus helping businesses make wise financial decisions. Even healthcare has joined this fray: digital tools analyze patient data to come up with better treatment plans and operational efficiencies.
These insights will help an enterprise be quite agile and responsive to dynamic markets. Organizations can minimize risks to the lowest while maximizing opportunities by making data-driven decisions and avoiding intuitive decisions.
Improving Customer Engagement
Digital tools have redefined the way businesses interact with their customers, making interactions more personalized and meaningful. From social media management platforms to email marketing tools, today businesses can reach out to their audiences in ways unimaginable a few years ago.
Customer engagement tools also track activities and preferences to enable personalized offerings by companies. For instance, an online retailer might use customer information to suggest other products that relate to what customers have already browsed. As personalization occurs, the potential for customer loyalty and repeat customers improves.
Equally growing in popularity are interactive digital experiences, including online catalogs. For example, Publitas lets one create interactive digital catalogs where products are shown in an immersive way. Such catalogs seamlessly integrate with e-commerce systems for frictionless and engaging customer journeys of buying. This way, interactive features allow businesses to reach audiences and increase conversion rates.
Challenges and Considerations
Where digital tools present many benefits, careful planning and consideration should be implemented in practice. It is difficult for a business to keep pace with the fast-moving developments of technology. Moreover, integrating new tools into an existing workflow may be complicated, especially in cases where an organization has been built upon legacy systems.
Another challenge is data security. While modern businesses increasingly use digital tools, they have to be very careful in securing sensitive information against cyber threats. The implementation of appropriate security measures and compliance with regulations on data protection are crucial in maintaining trust and avoiding potential legal issues.
In order to surmount these challenges, businesses should focus on training employees and selecting tools that best suit their needs. Vendors who are able to support the technology with updates and ongoing maintenance will make any transition smoother and sustainable in the long run.
The Future of Business Efficiency with Digital Tools
The future of business efficiency goes hand in hand with developments in digital technologies. Trends involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain are further developing how business gets done. AI-driven tools will be further developed into complex tasks of automation in decision-making processes, thus enabling predictive analytics.
It will also revolutionize industries with blockchain for secure and transparent transactions in financial dealings and supply chain management, among others. Then there is 5G connectivity, which will further enhance the power of digital tools by enabling collaboration and sharing in real-time.
As businesses continue to adopt such innovations, so much more can be done to ensure complete efficiency and productivity. Success will be ensured by the ability to adapt to changes, utilizing the right tools, and finding ways to continually enhance processes.
Conclusion
Digital tools have turned into an indispensable part of contemporary business operations, driving efficiency in literally every aspect of an organization.
