aserdf··on Facebook is backing away from facial recognition. Meta isn’t
am curious - what will meta do with shadow profiles? does your shadow-meta just sit idly in the middle of some public space for eternity? do you get vandalized/ridiculed? can your shadow-meta be identified by others? will it use the previous facial recognition data to guide how you look?
aserdf··on Facebook Renames to Meta
i wonder, if one declines to participate in the "metaverse", will their shadow profile be randomly inserted, and vandalized/ridiculed by other versians?

sidenote - if i am understanding correctly, its conceptually similar to modus operandi from back in the 90s? just in VR?

  - The biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats and carbohydrates in your diet—not the amount of cholesterol you eat from food.
  - Although it remains important to limit the amount of cholesterol you eat, especially if you have diabetes, for most people dietary cholesterol is not as problematic as once believed.
aserdf··on macOS Monterey
after a quick re-read I see what you are saying, it initially seemed like Monterrey was included with the on-device scanning but good news if not.

I am referring to the on device flavor - if it does not apply to macOS that is great.

is CSAM scanning included?

since these new machines come pre-installed with Monterrey I guess CSAM scanning is present from first boot?

aserdf··on Elite MBAs are no Longer Relevant
ive thought a lot about this recently and my opinion is its far less about the type of degree (ex: MBA, MS, MSF, etc.) and all about the brand name of the school.

in the past on several occasions ive seen hiring managers open to interviewing candidates with no relevant experience but simply because of the brand name. the brand name elicits a signal of quality that is hard to ignore (consciously or subconsciously) - that may change in the future but to this point my personal opinion is going to harvard, mit, yale, princeton, columbia, etc. is absolutely an advantage in getting "noticed".

imo paying out of pocket for an MBA from a mid tier or lower school is increasingly less useful, bordering on being completely neutral in terms of benefit while having substantial opportunity cost. certain scenarios (employer paid, necessary to break through glass ceiling, etc) can certainly change that calculus.

my personal experience (undergrad from a mid tier expensive private university in a large city, MBA from a state school) is that almost no one has cared about me having an MBA to this point, and the brand names of either school are nowhere near strong enough to get noticed. my MBA was a very unique program and I feel was very enriching but unfortunately others can't see that in a quick glance.

if I had to do it over again i would attempt to get a stronger brand name somewhere in my resume - whether undergraduate or graduate. in fact im considering further graduate study for that exact reason.
