The amount of disgusting racism on this post about Warleigh Weir is shocking. No 1. Putting up a post trying to identify individuals publicly is wrong. 2. Allowing a racist mob to pile on and not do anything about it is also wrong. Please report the post. www.facebook.com/share/1918Hv...

It is reckless, negligent, irresponsible and irrational not to take urgent action to reduce and adapt to the climate crisis because all the evidence says things get much worse if we don't.

Job market is very weird. I remember why I enjoy being self employed. The saga continues. 1 job I applied not knowing the company via a recruiter who reached out. Sent me a link to their website. Turns out the Senior Manager is someone I had trained in a previous role - awkward 🫣🤣

4 job applications submitted. 1 straight no (always appreciate a straight answer) 1 job wasn’t right which was obvious when speaking to the recruiter (and salary was too low & they wouldn’t shift 🚨) 2 more to hear from and another 2 to finish and submit. Forgotten what a slog it is!

Reminder to sound designers on outdoor shows this summer. Please DON’T use the sound of birds outside. Playing song of native birds in the wild can cause distress to the birds. It may see it as a competitor and cause the birds stress or distract it from natural patterns like feeding their young 🐦

Pokémon Go data trained AI that could assist military drones in war zones
Location scans from the globally popular augmented reality game have helped train AI to recognise and interpret physical spaces * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast An AI model trained on data collected from users of Pokémon Go will potentially help military drones find their location in war zones. Pokémon Go, a 2016 augmented reality mobile game, allowed players to find and catch Pokémon in the real world using the cameras on their mobile phones, and exploded in popularity.

Ouch. The real question is - why wasn’t a maintenance plan put in place decades ago? It’s not like this wasn’t a predictable problem. Also the entirety of the Bath underground network was scanned just before the pandemic - why hasn’t that data been used to model this sort of thing?!? 🤷‍♂️
