I don’t know why I haven’t noticed it before, but Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell looks like an older version of Harry Hamilin’s Mad Men character.
This week I had two second-round interviews. The one I prefer is still a steep hill to climb. I’m told that there will be two more rounds and a case study to complete within a week.
I went on a lunch date earlier this week. At the end of the date, she initiated a kiss. That was a first. Funny thing, we both got our undergraduate degrees from the same college, though we are about a decade apart in age.
Police in Edmonton, Canada, have started a pilot project using AI-equipped body cameras to detect faces on a “high risk” watch list.
AI-powered police body cameras, once taboo, get tested on Canadian city’s ‘watch list’ of faces
Police body cameras equipped with artificial intelligence have been trained to detect the faces of about 7,000 people on a “high risk” watch list in the Canadian city of Edmonton, a live test of whether facial recognition technology shunned as too intrusive could have a place in policing throughout North America.
But six years after leading body camera maker Axon Enterprise, Inc. said police use of facial recognition technology posed serious ethical concerns, the pilot project — switched on last week— is raising alarms far beyond Edmonton, the continent’s northernmost city of more than 1 million people.
But the movie was shot in Dallas.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats to revert to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor Antony Blinken’s decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move, according to a leaked internal cable.
The department switched to Calibri, a modern sans-serif font, in January 2023, saying it was a more accessible font for people with disabilities because it did not have decorative angular features and was at the time the default in Microsoft products.
Some scientific studies have suggested that sans-serif fonts such as Calibri are indeed easier to read for those with certain visual disabilities.
Today I Learned: Venus flytraps are only found in North and South Carolina (within 100 miles of Wilmington NC), and nowhere else in the world.
At my darkest, I wish I had heard someone tell me, “You’ll figure it out.”
Her message resonated with me, though I don’t think I could have ever come up with it myself. But what I take from it is that the next time I talk to someone in despair, I’m going to tell them, “You’ll figure it out.” For me, the message is two-fold: you give them hope in their temporary turmoil, you let them know you believe in them, and that they are smart and strong enough to get through this. Can’t tell you how much it means when someone lets you know they believe in you.
I guess the only caveat that I’d add is to say, “And I’m here to help, if you need it.”
This isn’t new music, but it’s new to me, and I can’t stop listening to it.
