In a different direction now is a good time to start looking at how local AI can liberate us from big tech.

Prediction: this gets used to surveil dissidents and minorities disproportionately.

If your work lets you have iCloud accounts (I think usually managed) then you could use the shortcuts app.

This depends a lot on your companies device acceptable use policy.

The pixel is a secondary device I got for a job but they let me keep, so it’s not a bother for me.

It does prompt you to unmute but it’s very easy to forget to turn it back on.

It’s not a good solution, but I like that it’s an option

I see you already got an answer, but one thing I do is disable the microphone and camera on my pixel.

I keep them in the notification drawer because I just don’t trust keeping them on, but obviously I have to trust the OS is don’t that properly.

It’s a separate but adjacent problem.

No school should ever be allowed to take the doors off bathroom stalls.

That just seems to be the alternative that don’t places are doing to deal with kids congregating in the bathroom to vape.

I think your take is too far. It’s just beyond reasonable.

If a teacher were outside the room and heard a loud crash, they’d go investigate. This is doing the same thing.

It isn’t identifying individuals, it doesn’t record any information about a person, it simply flags that somebody is breaking the rules and is worth taking a look.

This is about the least invasive technological solution you could get.

And it’s a heck of a lot better than alternatives like removing the stall doors.

Do kids prefer to not have doors then? Because I’m reading a lot of messed up headlines where the school removes the stall and bathroom doors and kids lose their privacy.

I’d rather have the TV with an alert than have to do competitive pooping.

I don’t think you need to post your address like the old days, I would never notice nor care about such an omission.

I do always look at job history, and I don’t out a lot of stock in the skills section because most of the time people lie or exaggerate there.

But I thought we cold have free support in realtime with security updates for free forever?

That is absolutely terrifying.

If I made a least of where all the Christians live, they’d rightfully freak the fuck out.

You can use regression splines or lowess to locally weight the areas with low data based on what you do know, it keeps your parameter count down but still performs well even at the tails.

So I’m not against using age, but binning it coarsely is the issue when it can be handled much more granularly.

64-65 is probably a negligible amount of risk increase, but 64-69 is going to be much bigger. Looking at younger ages the effect is more extreme where they’re probably charging late 20’s drivers more because they’re pooled with low 20’s.

Anyway, on average it probably works out the same, but in practice I never bin data where I can avoid it, since you get better information looking at it as a continuous range.

Age buckets are so archaic
