Barn Owl hunting during the day Bempton Cliffs

20h 33m ago in birding

Thank you! Loved your hummingbirds

Barn owls? They can see to hunt small field mice and similar ok during the day, they just normally prefer to hunt dusk/dawn as there are normally less people about. This was near a busy path at Bempton so quite a few people about to see the gannets.

Starmer gives tech firms ultimatum to block explicit images on children’s phones

Last time this type of detection software was mooted, for child sex abuse images, it used small squares of the image against a known model of such images, which meant sending it off to a server via background scanning.

I guess this could use skin, nipple, and genital detection using a similar model. Which sounds shit, prone to false positives, and easy to circumvent.

Would it upload images for manual checking it wasn't sure of? That was how the pedo scanner would work.

Its an absolutely awful way of tackling the problem of sexting and cross sharing of nudes.

Zero chance this won't misidentify content, be easy to bypass, and massively extended.

Does anyone seriously believe that the type of content it looks for won't be expanded in what it searches for, and that it will cover adult devices over time?

Thats before you look at jt as a way for mass role out of device level identity verification dressed up as age verification.

The engineering is there, but its one of those things that only other watch nerds really appreciate or spot. Very expensive watches need specialised servicing as well.

Also certain brands have certain connotations, much like a brand new lifted RAM truck you expect a certain type of person for brands like rolex. How do you know someone owns a rolex because they will damn well make sure you know.

You buy a rolex (after begging the sales person seemingly) because its a rolex and everyone knows what a rolex is. It isn't actually any better on a meaningful basis compared to jts peers at the same price point that are far less obviously showy.

I get that, he has lookmaxxed. I love that contrast that makes them such a good couple to photograph

NOT my photo:

Lovely, you got so close!

A male Mandarin has to be one of my number one targets this summer, if I could get a shot of an entire family I might just die happy.

Is this coming to Prem? Its one of my biggest bugbears for time wasting. Nothing worse than a team running down the clock while the player takes the longest route possible.

I do love Dirty Dozen, but Seven Samurai is the oft imitated, never beaten, in the desperate last stand for a hastily put together team film that has my number one pick.
