Well, clearly the government would be an exception, there are always “authorized uses” for every banned thing.

Blocked in Europe, deployed abroad: The facial recognition system monitoring Brazil’s schoolchildren
The teacher opens an app on their phone, holds it up, and takes several photos of the room. Within seconds, the images travel to a cloud server, where a facial-recognition algorithm detects each student’s face, extracts it, and compares it against a database of biometric profiles. The app LRCO Paraná returns a list of names. Students identified in the photos are marked present; those the system does not find are marked absent.
For some students, a false absence is a bureaucratic irritation. For others, it could threaten their family’s access to welfare. In Brazil, eligibility for the Bolsa Família program depends in part on school attendance, and in Paraná such records are now largely generated by an algorithm.

It’s not to protect children though. It’s for political surveillance.

Exactly. Governments around the world, including the U.S., of course, have made it crystal clear through their actions that they don’t give a fuck about protecting children.

Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot? Will enough people put up with this shit to keep them in business?
I dunno, I haven’t looked at the site in probably five years or longer, but maybe they think they can hold out long enough that the next generation will just accept this is how it is? Is that the plan?

Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there. Also includes outtakes on the ‘reasoning’ models.

I think it’s worse when they get it right only some of the time. It’s not a matter of opinion, it should not change its “mind”.
The fucking things are useless for that reason, they’re all just guessing, literally.

I’m an old man browsing this on LibreWolf on a Linux Mint desktop. If I can do it, anyone can.
Having said that, running across a FOSS app that only runs on Windows that I want to run, has me thinking I need to rebuild and dual boot Win 10 IOT. Frustrating. I just learned that while installing Linux next to Windows works, because of course it does, installing Windows next to Linux does not. Because, again, of course, Windows is an asshole. So, that means I’d need to nuke Linux, install Windows, then reinstall Linux. And, that seems like… a lot. I might still do it, though.

That’s North Canary Island. It’s not on many maps because it formed recently from a submerged volcano. Maybe you remember hearing about that a few years ago?

At a glance, it looks like it requires signing up with their service, which means they can track everything I do. No, thanks. I’ll stick with Jellyfin.

This is akin to the nature vs. nurture debate–that is, how much of one’s personality is due to nature or to the people who raised them and the environment they grew up in? As the article I linked states, it far messier than the simple title implies.
Kids are not born as identical blank slates, they come straight into the world with their own set of personality traits that are essentially “hard wired”.
So, the answer is, you do the best you can, and hope for the best. There are no guarantees that raising your kid a certain way will result in a “good” kid. And, “good” kids can come from shitty upbringings.
I have two sisters and a brother, we were all raised by the same parents in the same house, together. Our parents loved us and did their best to raise us, which was pretty damn good. However, we are all as different from each other as we could be. In the past I’ve described us as the four corners of a world map–which, when the corners come together, make a globe.

It’s not easy.
Don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t use recreational drugs.
No sugar, no processed foods. Make all your own meals from the freshest ingredients you can afford, mostly vegetables. Food is not entertainment, food is not reward.
Avoid antibiotics in your cleaning products and food, so when you need them to save your life, they work better.
Exercise, move, get up off your ass.
Pay attention to your body, don’t avoid doctors because you don’t want bad news. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. The older you get, the more issues you have. Doing the previous things above, makes this part much easier.
Put yourself first, if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else.
