This project used an open camera to record weeks of footage of people in the street. Then scraped Instagram for pictures with the same geolocation. They used AI to match the footage to the pictures and see how the Instagram was taken.

The back room play by play of how Ukraine organised the offensives in Kherson and Kharkiv. Told from the perspective of American agency with the Ukrainians as an abstract notion.
One more thing, I understand that the US loves to tell reporters about secret military stuff as soon as possible, but this is Ukrainian information they’re revealing. The Ukrainians have amazing OPSEC. How about the US military practices some as well?

Ukraine's Army was likely as surprised as so many others with the speed & success of their Kharkiv offensive over the last five days. It is & continues to be brilliant.
But as one who saw both success & failure in combat, I have some concerns...
Here a 🧵on some thoughts.

🇷🇺💻Long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin, Russian security agencies, and criminal networks had been successfully using complex cyber operations to exploit vulnerabilities both in the West and at home for their own gain. But is the Kremlin as dangerous as we think?

But the strongest relationship with Twitter use is #outrage (angry, disgusted, and repulsed)

Nope. Don't like this one bit.
I cheered when Apple blocked creepy ad tracking. I feel like an idiot now that it's become apparent that they were primarily doing this to reduce competition.

Finally, my fav result: it's possible to train models on disjoint and biased datasets, then merge them together in weight space.
Eg, you have some data in US, some in EU. Can't mix data due to GDPR etc. Train separate models, merge weights -> generalize to the combined dataset!

Let's talk electricity.
Europe is in danger of rolling electricity shortages from what I call a crisis of confidence.
I will explain why, back it with data & kindly ask YOU to share it as the fix lies in voting for balanced policies. We must adapt, urgently!

This is an interesting thread - as it is wholly dependent on a neoliberal framework of cybersecurity, that is, on financialising what is a societal good.
Like other areas such as climate change etc. financialisation can only take you so far.
Ultimately, it's a common good.
