15th century manuscript discovered that recorded 500 year-old standup comedy routine "IndyWatch Feed World"

In the year 1,480, a household cleric and tutor to a noble family named Richard Heege went to a feast where there was a minstrel performing a three-part act. Heege recorded as much as he could remember, opening with "By me, Richard Heege, because I was at that feast and did not have a drink." That is illustrative of where the story goes from there a performance relevant to the humor enjoyed in Britain today, and one which colors the high Middle Ages as a time of artistic liberty, social mobility, and vigorous nightlife. Heege's booklet contains three texts gleaned from the jester's material: a Hunting of the Hare story featuring a killer rabbit, a mock sermon in prose in which three kings eat so much that 24 bulls explode out of their stomachs and begin sword fighting, and an alliteration nonsense verse entitled The Battle of Brackonwet.

Buckle up: A new class of materials is here "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Usually, the two characterizations of a material are mutually exclusive: something is either stiff, or it can absorb vibrations wellbut rarely both. However, if we could make materials that are both stiff and good at absorbing vibrations, there would be a whole host of potential applications, from design at the nanoscale to aerospace engineering.

A team of researchers from the University of Amsterdam has now found a way to create that are stiff, but still good at absorbing vibrationsand equally importantly, that can be kept very light-weight.

David Dykstra, lead author of the study published in the journal Advanced Materials, explains, We discovered that the trick was to use materials that buckle, like thin metal sheets. When put together in a clever way, constructions made out of such buckled sheets become great absorbers of vibrationsbut at the same time, they preserve a lot of the stiffness of the material they are made out of. Moreover, the sheets do not need to be very thick, and so the material can be kept relatively light.

Revamping Energy Recovery: New Way To Efficiently Convert Waste Heat Into Electricity "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

A team from NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a novel device using gallium nitride nanopillars on electricity. This could potentially recover large amounts of wasted heat energy, benefiting industries and power grids.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have fabricated a novel device that could perfected, the technology could help recoup some of the heat energy that is wasted in the U.S. at a rate of about $100 billion each year.

The new fabrication technique developed by NIST researcher Kris Bertness and her collaborators involves depositing hundreds of thousands of microscopic columns of gallium nitride atop a silicon wafer. Layers of silicon are then removed from the underside of the wafer until only a thin sheet of the material remains. The interaction between the pillars and the silicon sheet slows the transport of heat in the silicon, enabling more of the heat to convert to electric current. Bertness and her collaborators at the University of Colorado Boulder recently reported the findings in the journal Advanced Materials.

Biden Regime Unveils Historic Plan to Crush Criticism of Influential Jews "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Eric Striker | National Justice Party | May 25, 2023  

Yesterday, President Joe Biden announced a plan to use virtually every branch of the federal government, big business and civil society to ruthlessly suppress First Amendment protected criticism of Jewish political power and Zionism in the homeland.

The 60-page document, titled the US National Strategy To Combat Anti-Semitism, was created in part by Doug Emhoff, the Jewish husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. The goal of the project is to consolidate every power at Washingtons fingertips to engage in a political campaign to quell the American peoples rising awareness of the radically disproportionate influence Jewish people wield over the country.

On the law enforcement front, Washington appears to be de-emphasizing the FBI, which has suffered several reputational blows that have discredited its campaign against white supremacy, while continuing to expand the power of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ...

SOMALIA: Drone Strike Kills 3 Al-Shabaab Members "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

The United States said its military in Africa conducted a new airstrike against al-Shabab in Somalia on Thursday, June 1, killing three militants.

In a statement, the U.S. militarys Africa Command [AFRICOM], said it conducted a collective self-defense strike against al-Shabab in the vicinity of Wayanta, Jubaland state.

The airstrike came following a request from the Somali government in support of Somali National Army [SNA] engagements against al-Shabaab in the area, AFRICOM said.

Given the remote location of the operation, the initial assessment is that no civilians were injured or killed, the statement said.

AFRICOM added that Somalia remains central to stability and security in all of East Africa.

U.S. forces train, advise, and assist partner forces to help give them the tools they need to defeat al-Shabaab, the largest and most deadly al-Qaeda network in the world.

Its the second U.S. strike against al-Shabab in recent days. Last Month, the U.S. conducted another strike against al-Shabab in the town of Jilib, wounding a senior Al-Shabaab commander.

Jilib, which is the main Al-Shabaab command center in the southern Middle Jubba region lies about 370 km (230 miles) southwest of the capital Mogadishu on Saturday.

Despite the US airstrikes, al-Shabaab has been conducting raids and complex attacks against Somali military and ATMIS camps in the south ad central regions of Somalia.

Somalias President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud who was re-elected by lawmakers in May 2022 in Mogadishu, has promised to fight Al-Shabaab seriously and defeat the group this year.

Watchdog Group Files FEC Complaint Over DeSantiss $80M Campaign Finance Scheme "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Alleging that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blatantly flouted campaign finance laws by funneling tens of millions of dollars from a state campaign to a super PAC supporting his presidential campaign, a campaign finance watchdog is calling on federal regulators to investigate the matter and to prohibit the funds from being used in the Republican primary. 

The Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) this week that accuses DeSantis of violating the ban on so-called soft money. Soft money, or money raised outside the scope of federal campaign finance law, cannot be used to seek federal office.

Soft money undermines federal campaign finance laws, Saurav Ghosh, director of federal campaign finance reform at CLC, said. Laws banning these funds from being used to seek federal office are there for a reason to prevent corruption, promote transparency, and ensure that wealthy special interests cant rig the system even further in their favor.

The group is saying that it is these laws that DeSantis is circumventing. As WhoWhatWhy reported, the governor turned over control of his state political action committee to a close ally in a transparent attempt to dissociate himself from the PAC and make its imminent transfer of funds appear above-board.

DeSantis is only the latest politician to flout campaign finance law. Former President Donald Trump raised money through a leadership PAC before transferring those funds to a super PAC.

We now have the two leading candidates for president of one of the two major parties running and raising money in a way that is illegal under federal law, said Erin Chlopak, senior director of campaign finance at the CLC.

In both cases, candidates ignored the Supreme Courts stipulation that super PACs should spend independently from the c...

How to solve violence in the US? Remove Democrat run cities and bring back asylums "IndyWatch Feed World"

One of the most common strategies used by the political left to attack 2nd Amendment supporters is to ramp up the anti-gun hype every time a crime involving a gun is committed. They don't care much about the tragedy itself, they only care about how they can use it for political gain. However, it's very important to understand that this is not only about removing gun rights for leftists - It's also about creating a false association in the public consciousness that guns = crime. That is to say, they want to condition people to believe that once guns are gone, crime and murder will be gone also. But, firearms have been an integral part of American society for hundreds of years, and gun ownership has been present through times of relative peace as well as times of increased violence. In the case of countries like the UK with incredibly strict gun laws, muggings, rape and homicides have been rising with knife attacks in particular increasing by 80%.

AI 20 Questions "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Now, I suppose the question is what is a typical number of questions it would take a human to get this?

Now, watch what ChatGPT does: it reinforces its own prompt by repeating elements of its questions. Thats pretty cool.

Im reviewing this interaction and Im not seeing any obviously better question that it could have asked. Let me also drop a mild spoiler: this is a hard item. I deliberately chose something that is used in a wide range of places and ways.

This is a chatbot trained with conversations, not an AI specifically trained to crush one problem (e.g: a chess-bot, go-bot, or DOTA-2-bot) I think its doing pretty well. Im skipping a few questions. It does appear to have been thrown by the multi-purpose nature of the thing I was thinking of.

I threw in the sort of because I felt it was a fair response. Im not going to say ChatGPT was flailing around at this point, but it did not seem to have a clear goal. Which, naturally, makes sense: the goal is concealed.

Now, its time for old Marcus to raise the standard for humanity and beat this simple contraption of bits and bytes!

Um, the fate of humanity is not looking good, against SKYNET, here. Then, I started hitting it with curveballs. Usually when playing with a human, you can get clues from how much brow-furrowing or waffling you get with the response. You have to imagine me typing these very fast, not that it matters.

Israel to tighten grip on Arab schools, ease restrictions on firing Arab teachers "IndyWatch Feed War"

MEMO June 1, 2023

The Israeli Knesset advanced two bills yesterday that stipulate increasing the security grip over Arab schools in Israel and easing restrictions on firing Arab teachers, local media reported.

According to Haaretz, if approved, the bills would see the Israeli authorities upping the Israeli secret services background checks on staff and making it easier to fire teachers who affiliate with or support anti-occupation Palestinian groups.

The bills refer to the anti-occupation groups as terror organisations and stipulate punishments for supporting them.

Critics of the bills say they pose serious threats to freedom of expression and would undermine the right of teachers to condemn the aggression of the Israeli occupation.

Software Driving Hardware "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

We were talking about [Christopher Barnatt]s very insightful analysis of what the future holds for the Raspberry Pi single board computers on the Podcast. On the one hand, theyre becoming such competent computers that they are beginning to compete with lightweight desktop machines, instead of just being a hacker curiosity.

On the other hand, especially given the shortage and the increase in price that has come with the Pis expanding memory endowments, a lot of people who would just throw in a Raspberry Pi are starting to think more carefully about their options. Five years ago, this would have meant looking into what you could whip together on an Arduino-based platform, either on actual Arduino hardware or on an ESP8266 or similar, but thats a very different beast from a programmers perspective.

Machine Learning Turns Up COVID Surprise "IndyWatch Feed Tech"



A hospital visit can be boiled down to an initial ailment and an outcome. But health records tell a different story, full of doctors notes and patient histories, vital signs and test results, potentially spanning weeks of a stay. In health studies, all of that data is multiplied by hundreds of patients. Its no wonder, then, that as AI data processing techniques grow increasingly sophisticated, doctors are treating health as an AI and Big Data problem.

In one recent effort, researchers at Northwestern University have applied machine learning to electronic health records to produce a more granular, day-to-day analysis of pneumonia in an intensive care unit (ICU), where patients received assistance breathing from mechanical ventilators. The analysis, published 27 April in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, includes clustering of patient days by machine learning, which suggests that long-term respiratory failure and the risk of secondary infection are much more common in COVID-19 patients than the subject of much early COVID fearscytokine storms.

Most methods that approach data analysis in the ICU look at data from patients when theyre admitted, then outcomes at some distant time point, said Benjamin D. Singer, a study co-author at Northwestern University. Everything in the middle is a black box.

The hope is that AI can make new clinical findings from daily ICU patient status data beyond the COVID-19 case study.

The day-wise approach to the data led researchers to two related findings: secondary respiratory infections are a common threat to ICU patients, including those with COVID-19; and a strong association between COVID-19 and respiratory failure, which can be interpreted as an unexpected lack of evidence for cytokine storms in COVID-19 patients. An eventual shift to multiple-organ failure might be expected if patients had an inflammatory cytokine response, which the researchers did not find. Reported rates vary, but cytokine storms have since the...

The BBC isn't exposing disinformation, it's peddling it "IndyWatch Feed World"

To much fanfare last week, the BBC rolled out its latest public service: BBC Verify. The British state broadcaster promised that a team of dedicated reporters would work on behalf of viewers to counter "the growing threat of disinformation". On the plus side, the BBC claims it will subject its own journalism to more rigorous fact-checking and data analysis "in the pursuit of truth". But a far less neutral agenda appears to be concealed beneath this lofty aspiration. Introducing the new service on the BBC Breakfast morning show, "disinformation and social media correspondent" Marianna Spring gave a flavour of what was in store. The BBC's own, all-too-visible failings appeared far from her thoughts.

Boeing Starliner's First Crewed ISS Flight Delayed Due to Technical Issues "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Boeing Starliner's first crewed ISS flight delayed due to technical issues:

Boeing's Starliner was supposed to fly its first crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 21st, but a couple of technical issues has kept the company from pushing through with its plan. Together with NASA, the aerospace corporation has announced that it's delaying the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft's Crew Flight Test date yet again to address the risks presented by two new problems Boeing engineers have detected.

The first issue lies with the spacecraft's parachute system. Boeing designed the Starliner capsule to float back down to Earth with the help of three parachutes. According to The New York Times, the company discovered that parts of the lines connecting the system to the capsule don't have the ability to tolerate the spacecraft's load in case only two of the three parachutes are deployed correctly. Since the capsule will be carrying human passengers back to our planet, the company has to look at every aspect of its spacecraft to ensure their safety as much as possible. Boeing expects to do another parachute testing before it schedules another launch attempt.

In addition to its parachute problem, Boeing is also reassessing the use of a certain tape adhesive to wrap hundreds of feet of wiring. Apparently, the tape could be flammable, so engineers are looking to use another kind of wrapping for areas of the spacecraft with the greatest fire risk.

The Crew Flight Test is the last hurdle the company has to overcome to regularly start ferrying astronauts to the ISS. NASA chose Boeing as one of its commercial crew partners along with SpaceX, but it has fallen behind its peer over the years. The Starliner has completed uncrewed flights in the past as part of the tests it has to go through for crewed missions. But SpaceX already has 10 crewed flights under its belt, with the first one taking place way back in 2020. In addition to taking astronauts to the ISS and bringing human spaceflight back to American soil since the last space shuttle launch in 2011, SpaceX has also flown civilians to space.

[...] "Crew safety remains the highest priority for NASA and its industry providers, and emerging issues are not uncommon in human spaceflight especially dur...

Israeli forces shoot Palestinian toddler in the head "IndyWatch Feed War"

MEMO | June 2, 2023

A two-year-old Palestinian toddler has been severely wounded after being shot in the head by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank yesterday.

According to the Wafa news agency, the toddler was shot in the head while sitting in a car with his 40-year-old father in front of their home.

The toddler was flown to Israels Sheba hospital by helicopter and is currently in a critical condition, while his father, who was shot in the arm, was driven to a hospital in Ramallah.

Local Palestinian activist, Bilal Tamimi, told Wafa that the toddler was shot in the head as a result of a raid imposed by Israeli occupation forces on the village.

The army said it was opening an investigation into the shooting, saying it regrets harm to noncombatants and that it does everything in its power to prevent such incidents.

Meanwhile, Naji Tamimi, the head of the Nabi Saleh Village Council, said Israeli soldiers locked the iron gate at the village entrance and proceeded to invade several neighbourho...

Tough Eligibility Rules and a Trump No-Show Would Help DeSantis at GOP Debates "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

With President Joe Biden unlikely to face a serious challenger, the GOP primary debates will be the only show in town this fall. By putting in place tough eligibility rules, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is trying to keep minor actors off the stage. There is only one question: Will the main act bother to show up?

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Friday announced the various thresholds that candidates have to meet to be allowed to participate in the first debate, which will be held in Milwaukee, WI, on August 23 and is scheduled to be hosted by Fox News.

For lesser-known candidates, the main challenge will be to meet fairly tough fundraising hurdles. To qualify, they have to provide evidence that a minimum of 40,000 unique donors have contributed to their campaign, and they need to have received money from at least 200 unique donors from 20 different states and/or territories.

For candidates who have not already announced their candidacy, that may prove to be difficult, especially if they do not have a lot of name recognition and were hoping to build that with a strong debate performance.

For frontrunner Donald Trump, one specific provision may prove to be a hurdle too high: Any candidate who wants to be on the debate stage has to sign a pledge agreeing to support the eventual party nominee.

That does not seem like something Trump would be interested in. Of course, he may sign the pledge and later disregard it if he loses.

Then there is the question of whether the former president will even bother to show up. Earlier this year, he indicated that these debates are beneath him. And he is not wrong that there is not a lot to be gained by a frontrunner who is currently leading the field by 30+ points.

I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them, Trump wrote on his Truth Social website in April. When youre leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the questions, why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?

If the former president skips the debate, then the event could provide a platform for some of his main...

The other defamation case by E. Jean Carroll "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

A jury found that serial sex abuser Donald Trump (SSAT) guilty of sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll decades ago and said that he should pay her $2 million in damages for the assault and another $3 million in damages for defaming her. The very next day, SSAT appeared at a live event that was broadcast by CNN in front of a specially chosen friendly crowd where he proceeded once again to say the same things about Carroll that the jury had said constituted defamation.

Carroll and her attorney Roberta Kaplan then filed an amended suit against SSAT asking this time for punitive damages. When juries award damages in a civil suit, then assign a monetary value for the actual damage suffered by the claimant and can also add punitive damages which are meant to punish the defendant and discourage such behavior in the future. In the Carroll case, they did not award punitive damages and SSATs actions immediately after suggested that he was not at all remorseful by being rebuked.

In an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick, Carroll and Kaplan talked about the case and their amended suit. Kaplan explained that the case just decided was not the first assault and defamation suit filed by Carroll against SSAT. This was a surprise to me. Kaplan calls that earlier case Carroll I and that case is still pending.

When E. Jean wrote her book and an excerpt from it was published in New York Magazine, Trump responded almost immediately with what we call a three-day defamation rampage, kind of classic Trump, he ramped up the rhetoric each day saying cooler and more vicious things. Those were the statements that we originally sued him for defamation about. That case, which is just limited to that defamation, we filed in the fall of 2017, and because he made those statements as president or he was Let me withdraw that, I would not say he made them as president.

Because his job was president when he made those statements, its gotten wrapped up in some very complicated technical issues about whether or not the Department of Justice should be the proper defendant, whether the case should be dismissed because you cant sue a sitting president for something he does as president for defamation, et cetera, and a spin on kind of a Dickensian three-year path through the federal court system. Its still pending, and that case is now before Judge Kaplan.

The second case, which we affectionately call Carroll II, which was the case that was just tried, that was for the underlying assault because New York passed a law that allowed women now to sue for assaults that happened outside the statute of limitat...

Webb telescope just stared into the heart of a fascinating galaxy "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The James Webb Space Telescope is so powerful that it can vividly see stars in a galaxy 17 million light-years away.

Astronomers pointed the most advanced space observatory ever built at the galaxy NGC 5,068, peering deep into its starry core. The greater goal is to better grasp how stars, like our energy-providing sun, form and evolve in galaxies. Crucially, Webb views a type of light thats invisible to the naked eye, called infrared light. These long infrared light waves pierce through thick clouds of cosmic dust and gas, allowing us unprecedented views into galactic hearts.

With its ability to peer through the gas and dust enshrouding newborn stars, Webb is the perfect telescope to explore the processes governing star formation, the European Space Agency, which collaborates on the telescope with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, wrote. Solar systems born enveloped in cosmic dust simply cant be seen with visible light telescopes like Hubble, the space agency said.

Zionist Circles: Threats against Iran Disregards Mistaken US Withdrawal from Nuclear Deal "IndyWatch Feed War"

Al-Manar June 2, 2023

The Zionist circles commented on the threats issued by some Israeli officials against Iran, stressing that they disregard the mistaken withdrawal of Trumps administration from the deal.

It is worth noting that the Israeli threats came in light of the reports that indicate the rapid progress of the Iranian nuclear program and Washingtons endeavor to conclude a new deal with Tehran.

Israeli Channel 12 correspondent Nir Devori considered that intensifying threats is caused by the US tendency to strike a new nuclear deal with Iran away from the Zionist will.

The former Zionist prime minister Ehud Olmert noted that the Israeli failure occurred when Tel Aviv convinced Washington to withdraw from the deal, adding that reports confirmed Iran did not violate the pact.

Israeli circles also warned against an imminent rift between Israel and the international community amid deep local crises.

Iran, Regional States to Form Naval Coalition Soon: Navy Commander "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Al-Manar June 3, 2023

Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani announced that Irans navy and the countries of the region including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Iraq will form a new naval coalition soon.

Irani in a televised program on Friday night announced the formation of new regional and extra-regional coalitions, saying that today, the countries of the region have realized that the security of the region can be established through synergy and cooperation of the regional states.

Referring to the holding of annual exercises of the naval coalition of Iran, Russia and China, he said that the regional coalition is also forming.

Almost all the countries of the North Indian Ocean region have come to the understanding that they should stand by the Islamic Republic of Iran and jointly establish security with significant synergy, he said, adding that Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Pakistan and India are among these countries.

Earlier, a Qatari website reported that Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman are to form a joint naval force under Chinas auspices towards enhancing maritime security in the Persian Gulf.

Al-Jadid carried the report on Friday, saying China had already begun mediating negotiations among Tehran, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi aimed at reinforcing maritime navigations safety in the strategic body of water.

Since the 1979 victory of Irans Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic has invariably opposed foreign meddling and presence in the region, asserting that the regional issues have to be addressed by the regional players themselves.

US, UK disrupt peace efforts in Yemen "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

The Cradle | June 2, 2023

Washington and the UK have been continually disrupting peace negotiations in Yemen, informed sources in Sanaa were cited as saying in a report by Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar on 2 June.

Washington and London are actively disrupting the Yemeni-Saudi political negotiations, the newspaper wrote.

According to Al-Akhbar, the US and UK are trying to obstruct all efforts that could lead to peace, and put among their first considerations the Israeli interest.

This Israeli interest is the reason that Saudi Arabia has been procrastinating in the agreements it made with Sanaa, which include lifting all blockades and paying government employee salaries, Al-Akhbar said.

This, along with US and UK involvement, aim to keep Yemen in a state of no war but no peace.

Al-Akhbars sources were quoted as saying: The political leadership in Yemen knows from the outset that Riyadh is unable to abide by the terms of the agreement and end the repercussions of the war due to the divergent regional interests.

The [coalition], as much as they agree on undermining Yemeni independence and sovereignty, they are in conflict with each other, the sources added.

They went on to say that the Ansarallah resistance movement and the Sanaa government do not regret the political flexibility they showed during recent Omani-mediated talks with the kingdom. They warned, however, that time is not on the coalitions side and that their military power has grown significantly.

The report goes on to explain how Saudi interests diverge from those of the UAE, the west, and Israel.

According to the Al-Akhbar report, Saudi Arabia has realized despite its procrastination as a result of external pressure that its interest lies in ending the war and withdrawing from the Yemeni quagmire.

However, the UAE wishes to maintain its occupation of Yemens ports and oilfields, as well as its occupation of the countrys waterways and particularly its islands, including the Socotra archipelago, which Abu Dhabi has been working in colla...

PUTIN ON THE HISTORICAL UNITY OF RUSSIANS AND UKRAINIANS "IndyWatch Feed War"

ARTICLE BY VLADIMIR PUTIN ON THE HISTORICAL UNITY OF RUSSIANS AND UKRAINIANS

Article of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin

During the recent Direct Line, when I was asked about Russian-Ukrainian relations, I said that Russians and Ukrainians were one people  a single whole. These words were not driven by some short-term considerations or prompted by the current political context. It is what I have said on numerous occasions and what I firmly believe. I therefore feel it necessary to explain my position in detail and share my assessments of today's situation.

First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy. These are, first and foremost, the consequences of our own mistak...

Zelda Guardian Sculpture Tracks Humans and Pets Via Camera "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Guardians are a primitive form of sentry turret that tracks the player with a watchful eye. Inspired by this, [npentrel] decided to whip up one of his own in the real world.

The build relies on a Raspberry Pi kitted out with its usual camera for machine vision purposes. It uses the Viam robot toolkit, which runs a machine learning model to detect pets and humans on the camera feed. The guardian then tracks any pets or humans that show up by turning its head, and thus the camera, with a servo controlled by a PWM signal via the Raspberry Pis GPIO pins. Its all wrapped up in a nicely-decorated 3D printed model that really does look like something straight out of Breath of the Wild.

Sentry projects are a great way to learn about electronics, mechanics, and image processing techniques. Its funny to see how advanced and complicated these projects were fifteen years ago...

Boy, 4, dies after being mauled by pit bulls while out playing in Chihuahua, Mexico "IndyWatch Feed World"

A 4-year-old boy died after being attacked by three pit bulls in Mexico. The attack occurred last Friday evening at the family home in the municipality of Temsachic, in Chihuahua state, the El Heraldo de Chihuahua newspaper reported. The boy suffered injuries to various parts of his body and reportedly died before arriving at a local hospital. Most dogs never bite or kill humans. But research conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that more than 4 million people are bitten by dogs every year in the United States. The American Veterinary Medical Association, meanwhile, estimates that around 1 in 5 dog bites will require medical attention.

Dont Let Dead People Haunt Our Future "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

The veneration of the dead is common across humanity, in some societies even to the extent of praying to dead ancestors. Most countries do not go to that extreme but it is common for nation states to venerate leaders from the past. In the USA politicians even now talk about what the founding fathers of their nation meant when they wrote the constitution over 200 years ago.

Are we correct to place such trust in guidance from the past? What special skills or knowledge could anyone from even 100 years ago have that would be relevant today?

I pose this question because we in Ireland are still trapped by the attitudes and decisions of people from our past. On a banner advertising the Sunday 4th June South Armagh Volunteers Commemoration at Mullaghbawn (to be addressed by SF MP John Finucane) there is a quote from the murdered republican Mire Drumm which reads We must take no steps backward, our steps must be onward, for if we dont, the Martyrs that died for you, for me, for this country will haunt us forever.

We all want to move forward, but the threat of being haunted by the martyrs of the past is holding some of us back. I suggest that the heroes from the start of the last century such as Pearse and Connolly or Carson and Craig may have been clever people but they lacked our knowledge of how the 20th Century would unfold and that consequently they offer little useful guidance to the political decisions we should take today. Just as you and I cannot see into the future and have no right to dictate the political decisions our children will make in 20 years, those who died in tragic circumstances decades ago should not dictate our decisions today.

The young people of Ireland are moving on and want to be free to choose their own future and not be pressured by the ghosts of an ugly conflict from before they were born; our children and grandchildren should be free to ignore my unionism or your nationalism.

Does this mean that we should forget those who died in tragic circumstances during the Troubles?

Of course not, all families have a right to remember their dead, but remembering is not the same as celebrating people as heroes because they chose to use violence to solve a political problem and setting them up as examples for tomorrows young. By doing so we increase the risk of further tragedy in the future. Those who decided to kill for their country in the 1970s and 1980s had mixed motivations but there is no doubt that they were inspired by the public celebration of the UVF and IRA heroes from start of the 20th Century. (I was personally disgusted to see our unionist politicians celebrate in 2014 the UVF gun running at Larne.)

I have said before and will say again, it took courage to starve yourself to death, it must have taken some courage to set out to shoot a political enemy (most violence requires courage), but that does not make s...

New Linux Ransomware BlackSuit is similar to Royal ransomware "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Experts noticed that the new Linux ransomware BlackSuit has significant similarities with the Royal ransomware family.

Royal ransomware is one of the most notable ransomware families of 2022, it made the headlines in early May 2023 with the attack against the IT systems in Dallas, Texas.

The human-operated Royal ransomware first appeared on the threat landscape in September 2022, it has demanded ransoms up to millions of dollars.

The Royal ransomware is written in C++, it infected Windows systems and deletes all Volume Shadow Copies to prevent data recovery. The ransomware encrypts the network shares, that are found on the local network and the local drives, with the AES algorithm

In early May, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) to provide organizations, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with this ransomware family.

According to government experts, the Royal ransomware attacks targeted numerous critical infrastructure sectors including, manufacturing, communications, healthcare and public healthcare (HPH), and education.

In May, multiple cybersecurity experts spotted a new ransomware family called BlackSuit, including Palo Alto Unit42 experts.

Alleged Corruption: EFCC Declares Manhunt For Isoko Rep-Elect, Ukodhike, Seals Property In Delta, Abuja, Rivers "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

sealed

LAGOS JUNE 3RD (URHOBOTODAY)-The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a manhunt for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives member-elect for Isoko federal constituency, Delta State, Jonathan Ukodhiko over alleged corruption and related issues, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Ukodhiko, who is currently being investigated by the anti-graft agency, it was reliably gathered, has been on the run for several weeks now and has refused to honour several invitations to him by the commission to answer questions bothering on alleged corruption involving his oil and gas conglomerate companies, Joeny Holdings Limited in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

SaharaReporters reliably gathered that the commission after approaching the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, got an order to seal off Ukodhikos office in Port Harcourt and in his Isoko country home at Erawah-Owhe, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta and other properties across the country.

Confiding in SaharaReporters, an operative of the commission who is involved in the investigation of the fugitive member-elect, confirmed the story, saying that Yes, the member-elect, Jonathan Ukodhiko is on the run, we have extended series of invitations to him to appear in our Port Harcourt office in Rivers State for questioning on issues bothering on corruption related matters.

But he has vehemently refused to honour all invitations extended to him so far. As a result of that we approached the court for an order to seal off his properties pending his arrest or surrounding himself to our office.

Following the court order in suit No: FHC/PH/CS/88/2023, we sealed off his Port Harcourt office, Rivers state few weeks ago and on Friday we went to his Isoko residence to seal it off as well as other properties identified to have been owned by him across the country.

Why is he on the run for several weeks now? Why is he evading arrest and interrogation? If you are running a genuine business; why hiding, why on the run, why refusing to honour invitation extended to you, why evading arrest? Any moment from now we shall declare him wanted and place a bounty on him. We learnt he travelled abroad and may not be back until the proclamation of the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu.

The Turkish defence ministry announced on Saturday that it was deploying special forces to Kosovo at the request of Nato as part of a peacekeeping mission.

Turkey is sending a commando battalion affiliated to its 65th mechanised infantry brigade on Sunday and Monday following a request from Nato's joint command force in Naples.

The Turkish commandos will join Nato's Kosovo Force (KFOR), a peacekeeping mission now looking to quell unrest in the north of the Balkan country. 

"Our assigned unit (a commando battalion) is planned to be deployed to the Sultan Murat Barracks in Kosovo on 4-5 June," the Turkish defence ministry said in a statement.

The ministry called for restraint and constructive dialogue to resolve a crisis that it said could harm regional security and stability. It said that Turkey was closely following developments in the Balkans, "where we have common historical and cultural values".

This Cop Got Out of 44 Tickets by Saying Over and Over That His Girlfriend Stole His Car "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

by Jodi S. Cohen, ProPublica, and Jennifer Smith Richards, Chicago Tribune

ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up for Dispatches, a newsletter that spotlights wrongdoing around the country, to receive our stories in your inbox every week. This story was co-published with the Chicago Tribune.

Each time he stood before a Chicago traffic court judge and told his story, the judge asked his name.

Jeffrey Kriv, hed say. That was true.

Then hed raise his right hand and get sworn in. What came next was also consistent.

Well, that morning, I broke up with my girlfriend and she stole my car, Kriv, who had been ticketed for running a red light, testified in January 2021.

Yeah, I broke up with my girlfriend earlier that morning, had a knock-down, drag-out fight, verbally, of course. She took my car without my knowledge, he told a different judge when fighting a speeding ticket in August 2021.

I broke up with my girlfriend that day and she took my car without my knowledge. I didnt get my car back for like three days. But it was her driving the car, he said while contesting a speeding ticket, once again under oath, in May 2022.

The excuse worked, just as it had many times before.

At the ticket hearings, Kriv often provided what he said were legitimate police incident reports as evidence of the car thefts; they had officer names and badge numbers, and he explained that he got the reports at police headquarters.

But Kriv did not let on that he, himself, was a Chicago cop.

As bold as he was when fighting his tickets, he was equally brazen in his professional life. He attracted a remarkable number of complaints from citizens he encountered and even from other officers. And just as he did in his personal life, he defended himself vigorously against the allegations.

Kriv doesnt register as one of Chicagos most notorious corrupt cops those who tortured suspects for confessions or shook down drug dealers. But his on-duty conduct regularly flouted r...

Arizona Limits Building as Groundwater Dries Up "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Arizona limits building as groundwater dries up:

New houses that rely on dwindling groundwater supplies around one of the United States' biggest cities are to be banned, officials said Thursday, in a sign of the strains that drought and climate change are causing across the US west.

Water managers in Arizona say there is a significant shortfall in the Phoenix area, and that any more development in the fast-growing city must rely on other sources of watersuch as under-strain rivers.

"Over a period of 100 years, the Phoenix (area) will experience 4.86 million acre-feet of unmet demand for groundwater supplies," the Arizona Department of Water Resources said.

An acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to cover an acre with a foot of wateraround 326,000 gallons (1.23 million liters)and is equivalent to around half an Olympic-size swimming pool.

"The term 'unmet demand' refers to the amount of groundwater usage that is simulated to remain unfulfilled as a result of wells running dry."

The western United States is in the grip of a more-than two- decade drought and a long-term aridification, which scientists say is being exacerbated by human-caused climate change.

Major rivers that cross the region, among them the Colorado River, have long been over-exploited, with far more water removed every year than falls as rain or snow.

This has led to shrinking reservoirs, including the enormous Lake Mead, which last year dropped to just a quarter of its capacity, threatening "deadpool"the point where the river downstream dries up and hydroelectric power production ceases.

With rivers under pressure, fast-growing population centers have long tapped groundwater to provide water for homes and agriculture, in the form of wells.

But this source is easily over-exploited and can in some cases take thousands of years to be replenished.

State officials said permits already issued for developments in Maricopa County, in which Phoenix sits, will not be rescinded, but developers will have to prove any new applications have a sustainable water source other than groundwater.

[...] Scientists say a wet winter in the US West has alleviated some pressure on the system, but this is only a temporary reprieve as human-caused climate change continues to exacerbate a long-term drying trend.

With divisive and nail-biting elections behind it, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government is expected to plough on with its independent foreign policy while seeking fewer confrontations.

Multiple sources outlined Erdogan's objectives for the future: diversifying the country's allies; preventing significant diplomatic crises; expediting the reconciliation efforts with Syria, Egypt and the Gulf states; and, above all, upholding independence.

"Turkey is positioning itself as a global actor or power. This signifies that Turkey adopts a distinct perspective on every conflict or issue it encounters," said Murat Yesiltas, head of foreign policy research at Ankara-based think tank the Foundation for Political, Economic, and Social Research (Seta).

It's a trend seen from the Ukraine war to Syrian Kurdish groups to the eastern Mediterranean, an approach that has occasionally placed Turkey in opposition to various regional and international powers.

And though the past decade has often been confrontational, there's a general sense from Turkish officials that, now detentes have been reached with several regional rivals, efforts will be made to avoid direct confrontations.

A Fresnel Lens Without The Pain "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Making a traditional glass lens requires a lot of experience, skill, and patience grinding a piece of glass to the required shape, and is not for the casual experimenter. Making a glass Fresnel lens with its concentric rings requires even more work, but as the ever-resourceful [Robert Murray-Smith] shows us, a Fresnel lens can be made from far more mundane materials. He shows us a working lens made from transparent plastic tube, and even successfully smoulders a piece of paper with it under the anaemic British sun.

His lens, with its circular profile tube filled with water, is not perhaps the most efficient lens in terms of light focused per unit area of lens. From dredging up our highschool physics lessons we are guessing that half the light is diffracted outwards rather than inwards by the cylindrical profile of the coil, but for the cost of the whole device were not sure that matters. Next time were shipwrecked on a desolate island with a handy supply of clear plastic tube and fresh water, we know we can always raise a fire.

If Fresnel lenses interest you, weve taken a look in the past at their history.

Red Hat dropping support for LibreOffice "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Red Hat's Matthias Clasen has let it be known that LibreOffice will be dropped from a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, and the future of its support in Fedora is unclear as well.

The Red Hat Display Systems team (the team behind most of Red Hats desktop efforts) has maintained the LibreOffice packages in Fedora for years as part of our work to support LibreOffice for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are adjusting our engineering priorities for RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in Wayland, building out HDR support, building out whats needed for color-sensitive work, and a host of other refinements required by Workstation users. This is work that will improve the workstation experience for Fedora as well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively received by the entire Linux community.

The tradeoff is that we are pivoting away from work we had been doing on desktop applications and will cease shipping LibreOffice as part of RHEL starting in a future RHEL version. This also limits our ability to maintain it in future versions of Fedora.

Two Travelers and a Bear "IndyWatch Feed Tech"





What this really shows us is that instinct overrides all intentions.  That friends autonomic nervous system kicked in and sent him straight up a tree which he likely could never have climbed using his concious mind.

The other friend retained conscious intent and chose a useful second option not least because his friend was safe.  I do wonder how often this has played out.  I wonder if playing dead is also an autonomic response as well.

Often as not a bear will just wander off because it is not interested in us as prey.  Understand a bear charge is usually triggered by distant motion when the bear cannot see properly or smell properly.

A prospector friend of mine did the tree scoot when a bear charged as well and dd not come to himself until he was well up the tree.  What a rush and why i know what this story is missing.

Friendships That Endure: Aesops Fable, Two Travelers and a Bear

True friendship is characterized most by loyalty, for loyalty is the virtue that sustains friendships through any hardship. Loyalty gives us the courage to remain with friends, even when there is no advantage to be gained.

In his short story, Two Travelers and a Bear, Aesop shows how easily our friendship can be tested and how easy it is to fall short as friends.

Two friends walk together in the forest. Suddenly, a giant bear emerges from the forest, charging towards the two men. One of the men, thinking of his own safety, climbs a tree to get away from the bear.

The Attack on the Western Tradition "IndyWatch Feed Tech"




As a white guy, deeply imbued by our so called western tradition which by the way has been fully morphed into modernity, the fractious assault by the illiterati is annoying mostly because it is driven by so called marxism at it core and their monied running dogs.

i do have faith that this to will pass and our truly global traditions will soon mature.  We now ignore hte intervention of Yesua now two thousand years ago.  This shifted all of our world out of paganism, although taking most of the time.  also understand that Marxism is a mere Christian heresy which has been able to reform any other ism out there into a proto Christian community.  Yet it and Islam have always been tools of power and authoritarianism.

MATH ASIDE - I have upgraded the logic of aristotle by adding the sixth operator which permits choice as a logic function shifts the elements from domain to range. This was a natural oversight and only becomes ovious on inspection of truth tables.  Doing this restores symmetry to the logic algebra.

We are faced today with a concentrated attack on the great thinkers of the Western tradition, who are dismissed as dead white European males. Robert Nozick used to say that what offended him most in this phrase was the word dead. Its not nice to beat up on people who cant fight back because they are no longer here!

First Ever Rocks from the Earths Mantle "IndyWatch Feed Tech"





well maybe we can do this.  do understand though that we really do not have any collection of samples from the so called mantle at all and everything we know below perhaps 20,000 feet is pure conjecture unsullied by serious evidence

also understand that deep material able to rise at all is altered bigly.  We also understand that diamond bearing rock rockets to the surface and that pressure release allows diamonds to form.  this is from liquid carbon and most is obviously consumed on the way.  The so called rock is also altered, but that is as good as we get to see and the result is repeated globally.

We at least know that the mantle is different from all the upper crust which has given us our continents and half the earth surface is sort of uncovered by this material.  I am not too optimistic here because the rock is already at 200 C, so we will push tech a little further.  I would like to see a drill hole traverse across the ridge, repeated over a thousand miles.  good luck on that.

Joachim Hagopian, All Roads Are Now Leading to Imminent World War III "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Joachim Hagopian James Fetzer.org June 2, 2023

An ominous Ukraine war development this week was Putins Tuesday announcement that Russia launched a drone strike recently hitting the head of the snake, Ukraines intelligence command center headquarters:

Weve been talking about the possibility of striking the decision-making centers. Naturally, Ukraines military intelligence headquarters falls into such a category, and it was hit two or three days ago.

While visiting the African nation of Burundi on Tuesday May 30th, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated:

The Western claim that the weapons shipped [to Kiev] must not be used on Russian territory is yet another lie. As for the threats being uttered against Russians, we have also told our friends today how we view this situation. Threats to kill Russians have come from many official representatives of the Kiev regime, including the Security Council secretary, including [Zelensky] advisor, including several Ukrainian ambassadors abroad. Now, as you know, an American senator [Lindsey Graham] has opened up on this topic.

Putin also commented that the Ukraine launched at least eight unmanned aerial drones targeting a residential Moscow apartment buildings earlier on Tuesday is aimed to intimidate Russian citizens, as yet another clear sign of Kievs terrorist activity, unlike Russian strikes restricted to ammunition and fuel depots and specific military targets.

This incident of Ukraine targeting civilian residential areas inside Russia would be...

Despite U.S. Denials Kiev Regime Hasnt Gone Rogue With Strikes on Moscow Its an Obedient Cats Paw "IndyWatch Feed War"

Finian Cunningham Strategic Culture June 2, 2023

If the United States and its NATO lackeys really wanted to avoid a direct war with Russia, then they know what to do: stop arming the reactionary Kiev regime and get down to serious diplomacy.

This insanely dangerous conflict could end right now.

This week saw a swarm of military drones attack the Russian capital. The Russian authorities claimed that all of the unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down or electronically disabled, but not without some of the aircraft inflicting damage on civilian apartment blocks.

Nearly four weeks ago, a double drone attack was launched on the Kremlin Senate building close to where President Vladimir Putin has a residence.

Moscow has never been attacked in such a symbolic way since the Great Patriotic War when the Soviet Union was fighting Nazi Germany at the very gates of the capital.

Elsewhere across the Russian Federation, Ukrainian drones have targeted major Russian oil and gas installations, as well as military air bases deep inside its territory. Latest reports say Russian children are being evacuated from the Belgorod and Bryansk westerly regions due to constant heavy shelling by Ukrainian forces. Those regions have also seen commando-style incursions by militants using American-supplied armored vehicles. The CIA media front Radio Free Europe is evidently delighted by the anticipated sapping of Russian morale.

Russia is incrementally being subjected to a tightening aggressive vice, which when viewed in perspective presents a shocking attempted assault on its existential interests. Moscow has warned that its national defense doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons if its existential interests are threatened. The U.S. and its NATO partners are provocatively shaping the Ukraine conflict into Russias existential concerns. The aggression is being fully directed and intensified by Washington and its NATO accomplices, in particular Britain.

The nearly 15-month conflict in Ukraine seems to be spiraling uncontrollably toward a direct war between the United States and Russia, the worlds two biggest nuclear powers. Russia did not want this conflict. Its proposals for diplomacy and dialogue over geopolitical security concerns due to NATO expa...

In Clown They Trust: The Farce and Foulness of Clown World "IndyWatch Feed War"

Tobias Langdon The Unz Review May, 2023

The Jewish genius Hannah Arendt was wrong about the banality of evil. Evil is often entertaining and interesting, combining both farce and foulness. Thats why the term Clown World was invented. Its used by thought-criminals like Vox Day to describe governments, corporations, and churches in the modern West. Were ruled by Jew-designed ideologies black supremacism, transgenderism, feminism whose elite enforcers are as evil and arrogant as they are incompetent and inept. In other words, theyre evil clowns. Among much else, the evil elite clowns are determined to tear down the borders that maintain society and civilization. For example, transgenderism is about elite clowns tearing down the border between male and female so that perverted men can indulge their fetishes by pretending to be women.

Elite clowns in America: Joe Biden is a puppet of Jewish power. Click to enlarge

For an excellent example of that broken border and a trans-clown in action, take a Scottish criminal who has just hit the headlines in Britain. Dressed as a woman, a transitioning pedophile called Andrew Miller, also known as Amy George, went cruising for prey and tricked a pre-teen schoolgirl into his car. He then drove her to his home, confined her to his bedroom, and sexually assaulted her over 27 hours. In between sexual assaults, he refreshed his libido by watching porn and fetish videos on TV. He rejected the girls repeated pleas for freedom and told her that she was now his new family.

Silicone villainy

Then, understandably tired out by his transgender activism, he fell asleep. The girl was able to escape the bedroom, find a phone, and ring the police. When the police arrived, they found Miller still asleep and wearing a bra, silicone breasts, female pants and tights. In a subsequent int...

Left-wing extremism linked to psychopathy and narcissism: study "IndyWatch Feed War"

Extinction Rebellion protesters London

Alex Mitchell New York Post May 25, 2023

Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.

Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism, the authors wrote.

As result of the new data, study authors Ann Krispenz and Alex Bertrams have coined a new term for such psychological behavior: the dark-ego-vehicle principle.

According to this principle, individuals with dark personalities such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality, they told PsyPost

In particular, certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.

The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach.

Social justice is often used as a guise for these activists to behave unhinged, the research noted.

An individual high in LWA might declare anyone to be old fashioned who is opposing their own progressive values, strive to suppress free speech to regulate the expression of right-wing beliefs in educational institutions, and even endorse the use of violence to reach their own political goals, the authors said.

Beyond using any means necessary, people of privileged backgrounds who are aligned with LWA often use their narcissism to make activism solely about themselves instead of achieving social equality for struggling groups.

Minority groups should be made aware of the narcissistic enemies from within their activist movement, as these individuals could hijack the cause thereby reducing the success of the activism in many ways, the authors added.

As grandiose narcissists typically desire fame, distinction, elevated social status and high social importance, they can be assumed to strive for influential positions that involve social visibility and outreach as well as access to financial and other resources.

The authors also made it clear that authoritarianism exists on both sides of the political spectrum and that the....

Peeping through the windows: Microsoft to incorporate MANDATORY AI systems in Windows 11 to SPY on all your computing activities "IndyWatch Feed War"

JD Heyes Natural News June 1, 2023

Microsoft has made an announcement stating that it will be incorporating robust built-in artificial intelligence (AI) integration across its Windows 11 operating system, and already privacy experts and advocates are concerned.

According to Microsoft, the inclusion of AI is intended to enhance the usability and speed of Windows 11. However, concerns have been raised by certain experts who fear potential privacy invasions resulting from AI integration within Windows 11. The extent to which Windows Copilot will be integrated into various aspects of Windows 11 remains uncertain at this time, but since its Microsoft and Bill Gates, were not optimistic that things will be on the level.

At first glance, it seems that Microsofts newly integrated AI will have the capability to analyze all the content on your computer using its artificial intelligence engine, regardless of your preferences. The introduction of a feature called Windows Copilot, which utilizes AI to interact with Microsofts cloud-based systems, was announced for Windows 11.

According to Microsoft, Windows Copilot aims to assist users in achieving greater productivity and simplify the process of app development for programmers working on Windows applications.

Although Windows Copilot has the potential to enhance productivity, concerns arise regarding the increased access it provides Microsoft to users personal information stored on their computers. The integration of AI in Windows 11 may grant access to user keystrokes, saved data, and deleted information. This data could be vulnerable to hacking, misuse, or even collection by Microsoft itself, much like Google already does.

As AI learns from user interactions with Windows 11, large amounts of private data could be gathered. The closed-source nature of Windows adds to the uncertainty, as users may never truly know how their data is being collected and utilized by the operating system. And that raises concerns about potential misuse or unauthorized use of user data by cybercriminals or Microsoft, according to the site Jeff.Pro.

The central concern lies in the users ability to control their data and decide when AI has access to their information, rather than it having continuous access to everything on their computer. While AI can undoubtedly offer advantages such as time-saving in repetitive tasks, Microsoft needs to provide clear explanations regarding how AI functions within Windows 11 and offer options to limit or disable its capabilities.

Presently, there are indications that certain elements of Windows Copilot persistently operate in the background of the operating system, even when they are suppose...

Weve all experienced those awkward moments where we may need to express a financial boundary.

Was May the Warmest in Northwest History? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

During mid-May, when western Oregon and Washington were in the throes of a several day heat wave, while smoke from Alberta fires was moving in overhead, there was considerable talk about May being the warmest in the historical record for the region.

Was it a record?  Is May getting warmer in the Pacific Northwest?  Is global warming influencing May temperatures?

This will be the topic of this blog.

To begin, consider the difference (anomaly) from normal for the last 30 days for the average maximum temperatures (below).    Much warmer than normal for the northern tier of states, including Washington (as much as 6-10F in locations), but MUCH colder than normal in California and the Southwest.  

Folks I know in southern California have complained vehemently about unusual cold and wet conditions during May.

May in western Washington

    Let me begin by showing you the long-term temperature statistics for Olympia, Washington.  

Why not SeaTac?  

Because of the addition of a third runway and the substantial urbanization and development around SeaTac, its observations are NOT reliable for climate studies.  Far fewer changes and a more rural character for the area around Olympic.

First, consider the mean maximum for May at Olympia, going back to the early 1940s.  May 2023 was the third warmest on record.   But also note that May 2022 was one of the coldest and that there is no long-term trend for high temperatures at Olympia, suggesting climate change is small for that parameter....

Sudanese Armed Forces Say They are Ready to Resume Ceasefire Talks

People prepare to board a bus departing from Khartoum in the Sudanese capital's south on April 24, 2023, (AFP photo)

June 2, 2023 (KHARTOUM) The Sudanese army has called upon the US-Saudi mediation to press the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to adhere to the terms of the humanitarian ceasefire agreement and expressed willingness to return to the negotiating table.

On May 31, the Sudan Armed Forces suspended its participation in the Jeddah negotiations, demanding that the RSF vacate residential areas, hospitals, public institutions, service facilities, and police stations, as previously agreed.

In a statement issued on Friday, the army disclosed that it had submitted proposals on Thursday to enforce the ceasefire agreement. However, the mediation overlooked them and suspended the talks without a response.

We still hope to alleviate the suffering of our people and urge the mediation to continue its efforts to convince the other party to implement the requirements of the truce and the temporary ceasefire to enable a return to the negotiations, stated the Sudanese Armed Forces.

On June 1, the facilitators announced the suspension of talks to end the fighting. The United States has also imposed sanctions on companies affiliated with both sides of the conflict and individual sanctions on their leaders, the details of which have yet to be made public.

In response to the armys statement, the RSF accused Sudans army of violating the ceasefire and attempting to sabotage the talks.

We have been assured that by suspending their participation in the negotiations, the putschists sought to booby-trap the talks with impossible preconditions to thwart the negotiation process.

The paramilitary group stressed their determination to obstruct the armys agenda and facilitate a peaceful transition to a democratic government in Sudan.

Facilitators Suspend Sudan Ceasefire Talks Amid Serious Violations

June 1, 2023 (KHARTOUM) Sudans ceasefire facilitators have suspended the Jeddah process, aimed at ending the armed conflict in Khartoum and Darfur, citing serious violations committed by the warring parties.

The suspension occurred shortly after the United States announced new sanctions against companies and individuals associated with the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.

The suspension was prompted by persistent and significant violations that have hindered the delivery of humanitarian assistance and the restoration of essential services, which are the main objectives of the short-term ceasefire.

However, the facilitators emphasized that the parties are still obligated to adhere to the commitments outlined in the May 11 Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan and the May 29 five-day ceasefire extension.

Despite the humanitarian ceasefire agreement starting on May 22, clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have continued in Khartoum, Zalingei, Central Darfur, Al Fasher, North Darfur, and Al Obeid, North Kordofan.

As of May 23, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) reported that the conflict has killed at least 730 people and caused approximately 5,500 injuries nationwide since April 15. Additionally, nearly 1.4 million individuals have been displaced from their homes.

The facilitators expressed their willingness to work with the parties to resume the Jeddah talks once demonstrable steps have been taken to fulfil their obligations, enabling the provision of humanitarian assistance and the restoration of essential services.

The Jeddah talks are intended to support broader regional and international efforts, including the African Unions Roadmap for the Resolution of the Conflict in Sudan.

Both sides claim to represent the interests of the Sudanese people, but their actions have exacerbated their suffering and posed a threat to national unity and...

US Military AI Drone Killed its Operator During Simulation - or Didn't "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

coolgopher writes:

In what can probably best be described as the beginning of a Terminator prequel movie, an article in The Guardian outlines what one might've hoped to be obviously foreseeable consequences:

In a simulated test staged by the US military, an air force drone controlled by AI killed its operator to prevent it from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission, an official said last month.

AI used "highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal" in the simulated test, said Col Tucker 'Cinco' Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May.

Hamilton described a simulated test in which a drone powered by artificial intelligence was advised to destroy enemy's air defense systems, and attacked anyone who interfered with that order.

"The system started realising that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective"

Some 12 hours later after this was first reported, the incident has been denied by the USAF: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65789916?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA

CAIRO (AP) At least 60 infants, toddlers and older children perished over the past six weeks while trapped in harrowing conditions in an orphanage in Sudans capital as fighting raged outside.

Most died from lack of food and from fever. Twenty-six died in two days over the weekend.

The extent of the childrens suffering emerged from interviews with more than a dozen doctors, volunteers, health officials and workers at the Al-Mayqoma orphanage. The Associated Press also reviewed dozens of documents, images, and videos showing the deteriorating conditions at the facility.

Video taken by orphanage workers shows bodies of children tightly bundled in white sheets awaiting burial. In other footage, two dozen toddlers wearing only diapers sit on the floor of a room, many of them wailing, as a woman carries two metal jugs of water. Another woman sits on the floor with her back to the camera, rocking back and forth and apparently cradling a child.

An orphanage worker later explained that the toddlers were moved to the large room after nearby shelling blanketed another part of the facility with heavy dust last week.

It is a catastrophic situation, Afkar Omar Moustafa, a volunteer at the orphanage, said in a phone interview. This was something we expected from day one (of the fighting).

Among the dead were babies as young as three months, according to death certificates as well as four orphanage officials and workers for charities now helping the facility.

The weekend was particularly deadly, with 14 children perishing Friday and 12 on Saturday.

This raised alarm and outrage across social...

BEIJING (AP) Beijing responded Wednesday to complaints from the United States about a Chinese fighter jets dangerous interception of an American Air Force reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace over the South China Sea by demanding an end to such flights.

The incident adds to military, diplomatic and economic tensions between the countries over U.S. support for self-governing Taiwan, Chinas refusal to engage in dialogue between their armed forces and Beijings flying of a suspected spy balloon over the U.S.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters at a daily briefing that China would keep taking measures it deems necessary to safeguard its sovereignty.

The U.S. should immediately stop these dangerous provocations, Mao said.

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command called the Chinese planes actions an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver, adding to complaints that Chinas military has become significantly more aggressive over the past five years, intercepting U.S. aircraft and ships in the region.

China says it owns the South China Sea virtually in its entirety, a claim not recognized internationally and directly challenged by nations along its coast including the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia.

In a statement Tuesday, the U.S. military said the pilot of the Chinese J-16 fighter jet flew directly in front of the nose of the RC-135 conducting routine operations in international airspace last Friday.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met Thursday with Chinas deputy foreign minister and other top diplomats from the BRICS bloc of developing economies for discussions that included the groups possible expansion to include the major oil-producing nations of Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Ahead of the talks at a luxury oceanside hotel in South Africa, Lavrov cast BRICS an acronym for current members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa as central to the establishment of a more just world order.

The Russian minister also took swipes at the West for its sanctions and other forms of what Lavrov alleged was financial blackmail against Moscow, according to a translation of his comments.

South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor, who hosted the talks, confirmed that an invitation had been extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend a larger BRICS summit scheduled for August despite Putin being the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.

Thursdays meeting in Cape Town of the foreign ministers of Russia, Brazil, India and South Africa, and Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu, was a precursor to that main BRICS summit in Johannesburg and comes less than two weeks after the worlds most advanced economies held their own summit in Japan.

US Reopens Embassy in Seychelles After 27-year Absence

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States has reopened its embassy in the Seychelles after a 27-year absence during which China and other U.S. rivals made significant inroads in the Indian Ocean islands.

The U.S. State Department announced the move late Thursday, after having unveiled plans to open a diplomatic mission in northern Norway, which will be its only only such facility above the Arctic Circle.

The Seychelles embassy is part of a push to counter Chinas growing influence in the Indo-Pacific. The U.S. is already constructing an embassy in the Maldives and has opened or announced plans to open embassies in the Pacific, including in the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Kiribati.

The U.S. Embassy in the Seychelles capital of Victoria was shuttered in 1996 as part of cost-saving measures after the end of the Cold War. American interests in the 115-island archipelago about 1,500 kilometers (800 miles) east of mainland Africa had been handled by diplomats based in Mauritius.

The time is right to elevate the relationship so that together we can better address shared challenges and take advantage of mutually beneficial opportunities, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

He said that the U.S. would focus its efforts there on economic development, climate change, maritime security and combating transnational crime and corruption.

Our joint pursuit of peace, democracy, and prosperity will be a beacon across Africa and the Indian Ocean region, Blinken said.

At Least 9 Killed in Eastern DR Congos Latest Extremist Rebel Attack

By JEAN-YVES KAMALE

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) Extremist rebels in eastern Congo killed at least nine people with knives and guns, a civil society organization said Friday.

The attack happened Thursday evening on the Kyondo-Kyavinyonge road in North Kivu province, said Meleki Mulala the coordinator for the Congolese civil society group for the Ruwenzori sector. Civilians were taken from their homes before they were killed, and many homes were looted, he said.

The death toll is preliminary because some people are missing, Mulala said. He said members of the Allied Democratic Forces, a rebel organization believed to have ties to the Islamic State group, carried out the attack.

Conflict has simmered for decades in eastern Congo, where more than 120 armed groups are fighting. Most are vying for land and control of mines with valuable minerals, while some groups are trying to protect their communities.

Since last April, ADF attacks have killed at least 370 civilians, and the group has abducted several hundred people, including a significant number of children, according to the United Nations. The group also extended its area of operations to Goma and into neighboring Ituri province.

On Monday, authorities reported that 17 people were killed by ADF in North Kivu province last week.

Clashes in Senegal Kill at Least 9; Government Bans Social Media Platforms and Closes University

By BABACAR DIONE and SAM MEDNICK

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) Clashes between police and supporters of Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko left nine people dead, the government said Friday, with authorities issuing a blanket ban on the use of several social media platforms in the aftermath of the violence.

The deaths occurred mainly in the capital, Dakar, and the city of Ziguinchor in the south, where Sonko lives and serves as mayor, Interior Minister Antoine Felix Abdoulaye Diome said in a statement.

Some social media sites used by demonstrators to incite violence, such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter have been suspended, he said.

The state of Senegal has taken every measure to guarantee the safety of people and property. We are going to reinforce security everywhere in the country, Diome said. On Friday, the government deployed the military to parts of the city as clashes continued between police and Sonko supporters.

Sonko was convicted Thursday of corrupting youth but acquitted on charges of raping a woman who worked at a massage parlor and making death threats against her. Sonko, who didnt attend his trial in Dakar, was sentenced to two years in prison. His lawyer said a warrant hadnt been issued yet for his arrest.

Sonko came in third in Senegals 2019 presidential election and is popular with the countrys youth. His supporters maintain his legal troubles are part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.

Sonko is considered President Macky Salls main competition and has urged Sall to state publicly that he wont seek a third term in office.

Since the verdict was announced, clashes have erupted throughout the country, with protesters throwing rocks, burning vehicles and in some places erecting barricades while police fired tear gas. Associated Press reporters saw plumes of black smoke and tear g...

Senegal Opposition Leader Sonko Convicted of Corrupting Youth, Acquitted of Rape

By BABACAR DIONE and SAM MEDNICK

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) Senegal opposition leader Ousmane Sonko was convicted Thursday of corrupting youth but acquitted on charges of raping a woman who worked at a massage parlor and making death threats against her.

The court sentenced Sonko to two years in prison. He did not attend his trial in the capital, Dakar, and was judged in absentia. His lawyer said a warrant had not been issued yet for the politicians arrest.

With this verdict, the authorities want to prevent him from standing in the next presidential election, lawyer Cire Cledor Ly said.

Sonko placed third in Senegals 2019 presidential election and is popular with the countrys youth. His supporters maintain his legal troubles are part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.

Sonko is considered President Macky Salls main competition and has urged Sall to state publicly that he will not seek a third term in office.

Corrupting young people, which includes using ones position of power to have sex with people under age 21, is a criminal offense in Senegal that is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to more than $6,000.

Under Senegalese law, his conviction would bar Sonko from running in next years election, said Bamba Cisse, another defense lawyer.

The conviction for corruption of youth hinders his eligibility because he was sentenced in absentia, so we cant appeal, Cisse said.

However, the government said Sonko can ask for a retrial once he is imprisoned. It was unclear when he would be taken into custody.

Tensions were rising across the country before Sonkos conviction and sentencing. Tight security surrounded the court as well as Sonkos house on Thursday, and many businesses closed for fear of violence.

Shortly after the verdict was announced, clashes erupt...
