Parcoursup et Mon master dans l’éducation, Foncier Innovant du côté de l’administration fiscale, algorithmes utilisés par la CAF pour détecter les indus… Les systèmes algorithmiques déployés par les services publics se multiplient au fil des années, suscitant au passage un nombre croissant de questionnements.
Avec l’Observatoire des algorithmes de services publics, des expertes du sujet cherchent à mieux comprendre comment l’administration s’empare de l’IA et à ouvrir le débat sur l’usage de ces technologies.
Mailboxes on a back road in Princeton, near Half Moon Bay. They caught my eye, standing at attention like that. There was probably a fight - one of them lost its head - and the drill sargent is getting ready to chew them out.
Alice Brock has died at age 83. Her Massachusetts-based eatery helped inspire Arlo Guthrie’s deadpan Thanksgiving standard, “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.
In my previous post I described that my tech decisions are largely ideology-driven. I switched to Linux because Microsoft turned to the dark side and it was becoming a chore to use anyway. I switch…
For a book group I've just read Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers (2018) & while I enjoyed the plot & structure, it is rather over-written (or almost baroque in its expression). I guess I'm now so used to much sparser style of writing that I found this pretty frustrating to read; I just wanted less exposition. But Moraity has a sure hand on her story & delivers the successive plot developments well, which saves it
I've read (and soon about to finish) Russia Silhouettes by Gennady Sosonko. It's a fascinating portrait of some of the best chess players in the USSR that Gennady knew personally or encountered.
Excellent writing and he does make them "come alive". If you like chess, but are not in the mood for something technical, this is a nice option to soak in some chess atmosphere and learn how passionate the masters are about their game.
When I was eight, my family moved from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, and from the time I entered the third grade, till the moment I graduated the eighth, I attended a rural Mennonite. Mennonites were different from the other Christians I’d known in that they were pacifists. My family came from Protestant and Catholic Irish pioneer stock, so pacifism was not really a familiar concept. If we weren’t drinking, we were fighting, so pacifism didn’t come up a whole hell of a lot.
The meek shall inherit the earth, for the Bible tells us so. I have long maintained my doubts about the veracity of such claims. Maybe they shall indeed, but while the meek are waiting for the…

Do read @mmasnick on the rancid hypocrisy of people like Matt Taibbi, who LOVE the blend of government and social media when it's the extremists they support.
Pam Bondi, Trump’s AG pick, said ‘prosecutors will be prosecuted’.
It’s always projection with Trump & Republicans, they falsely claimed Dems weaponized the government, which they did during Trump’s 1st term & will again to a greater extent, in his 2nd term, because of loyalists like Bondi who will succeed, unconstrained this time.

Salut, ça doome ? De mon côté pami 28 #GoodNews j'ai relevé les migrants appréciés à Los Angeles et en Espagne, le plus grand corail du monde résistant au réchomatique, une taxe danoise sur les flatulences animales, le solaire qui fait pâlir le charbon de jalousie, une forêt faite d'un seul arbre et des croyances erronées sur les comportements humains face aux catastrophes. Bons appétits !
At least 120 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in two days, Palestinian health officials said, as Israel intensified its bombardment across the besieged territory.
At least seven people were killed when a residential home was hit overnight in the Zeitoun suburb of Gaza City, health officials said on Saturday. The other deaths were recorded in central and southern Gaza.
Two and a half months of loose plastic items packed inside a 1L milk bottle.
I've cut back my plastic use by almost 90%, using washable rags, washing brush, cutton bags and glass containers instead of single use plastic, washing sponge and shopping bags.But still have a long way to go.
Since they don't recycle many of these items in France, I shove them in milk bottles before throwing them in the recycle bin.

Become a soldier because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a soldier doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. You’re not a hero defending your country from murderous thugs, you are the murderous thugs, and the people you are murdering are trying to defend their country from you.
Become a cop because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a cop doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. Your job isn’t to protect people from crime, your job is to protect a system whose very existence is criminal, and none of the worst people in your society ever go to prison.

Become a cop because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a cop doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. Your job isn’t to protect people from crime, your job is to protect a system whose very existence is criminal, and none of the worst people in your society ever go to prison.
Become a lawyer because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a lawyer doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The laws aren’t there to protect ordinary people from the worst among us, they are there to protect the worst among us from ordinary people.
Become a politician because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a politician doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The power and influence you can wield in politics is directly proportionate to your willingness to compromise and collaborate with the plutocrats, interest groups and power structures who are causing the very problems you’re trying to solve in the first place.
Become a journalist because you want be of service and you will discover that being a journalist doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The job of the media in your society are not to report the truth and hold power to account but to propagandize the citizenry into accepting status quo politics and consenting to acts of mass military slaughter around the world, and you can only rise to success in the press to the extent that you are willing to help generate that propaganda.
Become a teacher because you want be of service and you will discover that being a teacher doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. As a teacher your job is to lie to the next generation about their nation, their government, their history and their world and indoctrinate them into trusting their government and news media.
Become a therapist because you want be of service and you will discover that being a therapist doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. A huge amount of the anxiety and depression your clients bring you cannot be resolved in therapy because they arise from the poverty, toil and lack of support which is built into the abusive and exploitative society in which we live.
Become a social worker because you want be of service and you will discover that being a social worker doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. Again and again you will fail to secure your clients the resources they desperately need because your government doesn’t care about them and your society flushes anyone who can’t be used to generate a profit down the toilet.
Try to make movies and shows which tell the truth about the kind of society we live in, and you will discover that the only way movies and shows get produced and placed before a large audience is if they promote the class interests of the wealthy people who control the major studios and platforms. Hollywood is one giant propaganda service for empire and capitalism.
We live in a civilization built of lies and abuse, powered by lies and abuse, and defended using lies and abuse. Even the most kindhearted and well-intentioned among us struggle to bring about positive change, because the very fabric of our society is stacked against truth and kindness.
Do you wish to be of service? Do you want to help the world? Then focus your energy on fighting against the status quo power structure which makes it so difficult to serve and to help. Do everything you can to help foment a revolutionary zeitgeist in opposition to militarism, capitalism, imperialism, authoritarianism, and the mainstream politics and media which make these abuses possible.
Work on opening people’s eyes to the lies and abuse which sustain the tyrannical power structure we all live under, and open their hearts to the possibility that it doesn’t need to be this way. The more eyes and hearts are opened in this way, the closer the people get to using the power of their numbers to force the emergence of a healthy world.
Here’s a little cartoon that nicely summarizes my attitude towards all those people who voted for Trump. Get the fuck out of my life. Don’t ask me for anything, not even sympathy. Don…
there is going to be a lot of schadenfreude watching trump voters as their lives get worse, don't be that person, told you so might be emotionally satisfying but it's not helpful. The Democrats are useless, the courts are lost, all that's left is the strike. Strikes that will need disaffected trump voters.
I fear one of their first deregulation actions is going to be to make our windows less secure such that we have an outbreak of window cancer here as they have in Russia.
The kora is a traditional musical instrument of Central Africa. It's heard less often these days but Angu Walters keeps tradition alive by featuring koras in some of his most stunning paintings.

This is deeply concerning. Littman, famed for the junk theory on "ROGD", is teaming up with J Michael Bailey and Ken Zucker on a new "study". And they're going through Northwestern University--the host of the recent International Trans Studies Conference--to do it.
Littman was forced to correct her famous "ROGD" paper for similar reasons: she surveyed anti-trans parents without being transparent about it. She wasn't transparent about her recruitment sources for her detransition paper either - we had to do that for her.

All three of these researchers have professional investment in maintaining anti-trans positions. But we also question just how effective this would even be. Lumping trans youth in with parental responses is already hairy, but especially so if your work is best known in anti-trans parent networks!
Given Littman's past failures in this department, and how Bailey had his last "study" retracted due to ethical violations, this new one will be just as terrible. Trans professionals and activists should be on guard, and Northwestern should be ashamed of itself for approving this nonsense.
