The image features a tall brick tower with a distinctive red conical roof, set against a clear blue sky with a few scattered clouds. The tower has a square base with arched windows on the upper level, and a large arched entrance at the ground level. In front of the tower, there is a statue of a person on a pedestal, surrounded by a weeping willow tree. The area around the tower is a park-like setting with people walking and sitting, and other buildings visible in the background. The overall scene is well-lit, suggesting it is a sunny day.

The image depicts a city square with a large, classical building in the center, featuring a symmetrical facade with multiple windows and a prominent clock tower with a green dome. The building is flanked by other structures, including a taller building to the left with a visible clock face. The square is surrounded by trees with autumn foliage, and a white van is parked on the street. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a sunny day. The scene is framed by tree branches in the foreground, adding depth to the composition.

@mina @Nickiquote not only that, but anything that even closely resembles #cash in terms of #anonymitiy anf #fungibility like #Monero gets criminalized.

Not to mention cash just works and IMHO curbing on it's use is inherently bad, to the point that I thing the #ECB should make an #ES2 version of the #500EuroBanknote as the rising #Greedflation makes it more "necessary" than before...

People who argue one doesn't need cash because #card and #NFC #payment and #SEPA #WireTransfer exist would also argue people don't need #PressFreedom because they can write #LettersToTheEditor...

TBH I think that cash should be enshrined as acceptable payment methods, as the only exceptions I know [i.e. #RealEstate and #CarRental] are grounded in #security concerns:

Most car rental places don't want to handle cash and demand #KYC for insurance reasons and most banks and notaries (who also have to do KYC & #AML anyway!) have less money onsite than the average Supermarket has in a single cash drawer and don't like having that much stuff onsite anyway.

Scooter deconstructed.

Current status is obviously non-functional, but charging again with no errors codes complaining about the battery, brake or throttle. I didn’t deliberately fix any of them, though, so I don’t actually know what was wrong.

#scooter #es2

The base of a Ninebot ES2 scooter lies on a wooden tongue-and-groove floor, with the battery, battery controller, control panel, battery charger, and brake and throttle levers only connected by wires. The control panel shows that the battery is charging.

B., the senior officer, claimed that in the current war, “I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”

According to B., a common error occurred “if the [Hamas] target gave [his phone] to his son, his older brother, or just a random man. That person will be bombed in his house with his family. This happened often. These were most of the mistakes caused by Lavender,” B. said.

Reuters, 2023 - Technologists with the Israeli army's Matzpen application and data operations unit work at their station, at an IDF base in Ramat Gan, Israel Palestine

It was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses.

“We were not interested in killing operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”

Lt.-Col. Nurit Cohen Inger has overseen #Data at the Israeli #military’s Computer Service Directorate. She showed her enthusiasm on #AIWar to JNS.org in 2017:

“The top level in this field of big data is to have a system that makes recommendations on what to do, based on the data. We are there.”

In theory, this could figure out where to direct strikes, to achieve maximum damage.

Inger said AI “can influence every step and small decision in a conflict, and the entire conflict itself.”

“For this system to work, it has to function at a very high level,” she added. “AI is a machine that has the intelligence characteristics of a person—in this case, by giving recommendations.”

Human commanders will still make the final decisions, Inger said, but they will receive “very precise and relevant recommendations. This is happening, and it will happen much more.”

"The unit is engaged in the same kind of AI work that the world’s biggest tech companies, like Google, Facebook and China’s Baidu are doing in a race to apply machine learning to such functions as self-driving cars, analysis of salespeople’s telephone pitches and cybersecurity — or to fight Israel’s next war more intelligently."

“I’ve always loved algorithms. I was already involved with them in high school and worked in the field. When I [was] drafted I wanted to combine the technology with a combat,” Maj. Sefi Cohen, 34, recalls.

The unit’s only female member left recently. so for the moment it’s an all-male team. Cohen says: “Everyone who’s here is the tops.”

Behind any aircraft that takes off for an attack, there are thousands of soldiers, men and women, who make the information accessible to the pilot. "They produce the targets and make the targets accessible. To set a target, it’s a process with lots of factors that need to be approved. The achievement, the collateral damage and the level of accuracy. For that, you have to interconnect intelligence, (weapon) fire, C4I [an integrated military communications system, including the interaction of troops, intelligence and communication equipment] and more," said Nati Cohen, currently a reservist in the Exercises Division of the C4I Division of the army.
