    #AI research indicates that intra-person fingerprints are similar enough to be detected. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/01/240110120225.htm [www sciencedaily com]

    1. AI discovers that not every fingerprint is unique
      from ScienceDaily
      Engineers have built a new AI that shatters a long-held belief in forensics -- that fingerprints from different fingers of the same person are unique. It turns out they are similar, only we've been comparing fingerprints the wrong way!

    It reminds me of when I did my Master's Degree. I was doing Microsoft #SQL_Server through their GUI interface while also taking some MySQL courses through the local community college.

    Using the GUI, I'd be in the process of constructing a query and need to look at some information ... for example the structure of a table ... in order to complete the query. In the GUI, everything was modal dialog boxes, so it was *back out of everything* then look for needed data, then go through the steps to get back where I previously was, and enter the query with the acquired information.

    Using the mysql commandline, it was ... enter a query to view the table and / or database schema, write your query. If necessary, open a 2nd window and use one for writing long queries and the other for exploration which helps write those queries.

    Yes, our web dev instruction was corporation centered, so we used Java Servlets and JSPs in Apache #Tomcat on #Windows ... and SQL Server as the database. I think we used #Apache HTTP Server(also on Windows), but it is possible we did do something with Microsoft #IIS.

    I have used joins and subqueries (in the where clause) in the past. But when I look at many of the exercises, there's a partially-written #SQL query that uses these features and CTEs and it is difficult to reason about the query and its pieces. Normally, that's when I'd write some exploratory queries to understand how to go from a set of tables to a specific result set (itself a table).

    But the table rows seen in the preview may not be easily visible in the query results, which makes it more difficult to see whether one is on the right track.

    Weird feeling for me: In a few of these #DataCamp courses, I'm now feeling lost when I'm doing the exercises. I think I need to spin up a separate data analysis project using #R-Lang, or #Python + #numpy + #pandas or #SQL ... or maybe do the same project three ways.

    With SQL, at least, it seems to be an artifact of the way their hands-on code runner works (Displays a short `head` of the relevant tables ... so when you're working on queries, you may not have a direct way to see whether your query does specifically what you expected and intended.)

    With R-Lang, it is just that it isn't always apparent what the language will do. Some things are inexplicably backwards compared to most other languages I've seen, so mentally I tend to go with the wrong choice. Also, the practice question set is too small. I've reached the point where some of the practice exercises are familiar enough that I know which answer to choose immediately without having any understanding of why that is the correct choice.

    @clacke It may be the client that @gnu2 is using. Friendica and Mastodon truncate the display of links, and some clients use that (instead of the embedded hyperlink) to make clicky links.

    @fu I think that is evidence that the USSR's state-based Communism wasn't all that different from industrial revolutionary capitalism or even prior mercantile systems. In all three cases, someone manipulates rulers and their laws / enforcement actions in order to enslave and repress those whose labor enabled their prosperity.

    I am sure that the current trend of changes to #Firefox and the resulting rewrite of #Thunderbird will necessarily affect #SeaMonkey. Essentially, I think SM lacks independent development resources, so if the divergence is quick enough or large enough, SM will have to write a separate mail component or give up.

    This reminds me of a Matrix client I was using. The developers of what was then called Riot changed frameworks or something and the downstream client I used ended development.

    @fu That's good news.

    One thing I dislike about #Win11 is the extra step added to the start menu. First is the pinned programs and recommendations with a little "all programs" button. Click that and the regular start menu appears.

    Seems bizarre that the primary UI improvement that made #Win95 such a revelation is repeatedly erased or subverted in subsequent #Microsoft operating systems. I remember #Win3.1 and MacOS having program icons and folders containg such icons scattered all over the desktop. The start menu was a huuuuge improvement.

    @lxo I haven't bothered to read much about the bill, but I do not believe the courts will let it stand. As you point out, US based companies engage in similar data-gathering, both for private corporate purposes and for unconstitutional US federal purposes.

    They _could_ and _should_ ban such data-collection / data-sharing / data-selling, but I expect they will not.

    Got an emergency alert about a radar indicated #tornado ... the storm cell appears to have past the Springfield #MO area. St Louis area also warned.

    No known damage in this area.

    There was some significant wind and rain for a few minutes. No hail observed. #GS3 was aware enough to be concerned about a tornado, but as far as I know, no twister touched the ground.

    1. Man finds out migraines caused by brain tapeworms; undercooked bacon may be culprit
      from NBC News
      The 52-year-old American man was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis. His only habit connected to the parasitic infection was eating "lightly cooked, non-crispy bacon," new study says.

    I got a very concerned phone call from N, a former co-worker. He tried to persuade me to stay with $EMPLOYER until I get a replacement job. I promised to consider his advice (after all, it is what I have always advised people to do), but I do not think I will change my mind.

    He talked about the group that he hired on with, and how half of them left and are now trying to return because they had nothing to keep them active. But I have no illusions about enjoying sitting in a rocking chair or going fishing every day. I already know that even if my financial needs were taken care of, I would still need to be productive.

      Over 225,000 Compromised ChatGPT Credentials Up for Sale on Dark Web Markets
      from The Hacker News
      Over 225,000 OpenAI ChatGPT credentials were compromised and sold in underground markets by October 2023.

    I see a headline saying that over 225,000 #ChatGPT user credentials are for sale. I have not read the article, so no idea whether this is from mass phishing or from breaking into #OpenAI's network.
