  3. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    We usually see only the things we are looking for — so much so that we sometimes see them where they are not.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 238 (1955)

  7. Home Office to spend £1.3M on age-determining algorithm | The Register | I wonder what their acceptable false positive rate will be?

    I am betting that I could just return “18+” and be correct more than 90% of the time:

    A contract tender … “Home Office are seeking to procure an algorithm that can accurately predict the age of a subject,” the contract’s description reads. “This will have multiple use cases for Home Office, an example could/would be to assist in determining the age of those who are encountered without verifiable identity documentation.”

  10. False Positive tries to be Rosemary’s Baby for 2021 but ends up as a regressive mess. Science replaces Satan, but the patriarchy stays alive and well — and so does the tired trope of the “mad” woman defined by her womb.

  11. Every now and then our local birds manage to convince #ubiquiti that there’s a CO alarm going off near our shed.

    It doesn’t happen enough to be a bother. Rare enough that it makes me smile. Maybe once per quarter? Anyway, think it’s funny, and worth sharing.

  16. 👨‍🏫 Because mastering #OSINT starts with understanding the language.

    🔎 Let’s explore: What does #FalsePositive mean?

    "A False Positive is an information that seems relevant at first but in reality, it has no connection to the target."

    ⚠️ False positives can waste your valuable time and in some cases, jeopardize your #investigation.

    👉 That’s why, when we integrate a new module into Epieos, we make sure it doesn’t generate false positives.

    Delivering a #stable, #accurate, and #reliable OSINT solution is part of our core commitment.

  19. This morning the robins were so loud and in sync that Unifi protect thought it heard a carbon monoxide alarm, and pushed emergency alert.

    We have CO detectors, so I was concerned. You can imagine my relief and delight to review the recording and find happy birds instead of an actual emergency.

  24. After checking this account, I don't see anything to support the @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app decision to label the entire account as "Spam". Poor kid (as per bio), their #Bluesky experience went down massively. Another damaging #FalsePositive.
