05:42 IsambardPrince; "Yes, theres a constant influx of snapshot of our ever-exacerbating dystopia type stories to endure these days, but this one, from the American Banker trade magazine, manages to stand out. The piece reveals a new, cutting-edge use case for enterprise AI: trying to prevent call center workers from losing it by showing them video montages of their family set to their favorite pop music after they have been barraged with

05:42 IsambardPrince; angry callers and the system has assessed they are on the brink."

05:48 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: If there's anyone who should be put into a rocket and fired into the sun it's all these "rent payment platforms" that want to add a 2-3% fee for paying your rent.

05:49 IsambardPrince; "What exactly would you say, you do here?"

05:49 IsambardPrince; Landlords probably lean on people to use them because they're turning around and giving half the fee to the landlord or something.

05:54 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, Social Security considers Autism a mental illness.

05:54 IsambardPrince; They have it legally defined as one in the POMS.

05:54 IsambardPrince; Impairment Code 2990 under Mental Disorders.

05:57 IsambardPrince; Things like drug and alcohol addictions have an Impairment Code but they are not considered qualifying factors for a disability determination.

6 AM, June 18

06:01 IsambardPrince; Back in the 1980s, we had a lot of people who were found disabled because they drank all the time or used drugs.

06:02 IsambardPrince; The problem got so bad that Congress passed a law removing substance abuse disorders, so they purged them all, but then most of them ended up finding their way back in under another condition.

06:04 IsambardPrince; A lot of people with mental illness end up self-medicating.

06:04 IsambardPrince; So the outcome was probably predictable.

07:02 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: So get this....

07:03 IsambardPrince; Social Security sent a letter to my mom today.

07:03 IsambardPrince; They froze her checks last year because she made too much money. The way it works though, they ended up recalculating her full retirement age and giving her actuarial adjustments so that her checks got bigger when they started up again.

07:05 IsambardPrince; So several months went by and they sent this letter that said "We overpaid you last year because we did not stop your checks and we want it back." and "We have recalculated your benefits and we owe you another $150 a month." or something. So she had to spend all evening on the phone on hold, but eventually got a lady that said "No, you weren't paid, and I can see that someone made a big mistake. I'm going to forward all of this to a

07:05 IsambardPrince; division that will fix that, and nobody can take any negative action until this is sorted out."

07:06 IsambardPrince; Nobody there seems to know what they hell they're doing.

07:06 IsambardPrince; It's gotten so bad I understand from many people who file for retirement now, that what they pay you each month depends on the office and employee that handles your retirement application.

07:07 IsambardPrince; But you don't know who that will be because the computer routes it to a service center that has the most "capacity" at the moment the retirement application is filed.

07:08 IsambardPrince; So this is turning into a full time job for her, just dealing with these random fucking letters from Social Security that seem to come out of nowhere, where someone has made a decision and nobody knows why or how.

13:22 schestowitz[TR2]; key parT:

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; "What has happened since then? What about exFAT? The patents aren't expired yet and they're an example of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issuing software patents in spite of 35 U.S.C. 101/Alice (SCOTUS) just to make more money.

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; In a more recent example, Microsoft wanted to shove exFAT into the core of Linux. Theodore Tso, still stalked and abused (often defamed) by Microsofters, objected to this, citing patent aggression by Microsoft.

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; "

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; ""As a followup to the ExFAT topic, we have taken another look at the time Microsoft promised to turn the patents over to OIN (but as far as we know never actually did). Was this an empty promise to fool the chumps? As we need to check if that happened, and nobody knows except the OIN, we first checked OIN's site because the Wikipedia page does not provide evidence of any transfer to OIN aside from a vague promise from Microsoft t

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; o do so at some unspecified future date. See "606": "This project aims to provide a full-featured exFAT file system implementation for Unix-like systems. It consists of a FUSE module (fuse-exfat) and a set of utilities (exfat-utils)."

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; "We're led to just guess the main exFAT patent might expire in 2027, but should it not be challenged in the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) using an inter partes review (IPR)?

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; Here, like with OOXML, as per the above URL, Microsoft charges money (derived from exFAT for licensing) and Linux is being used to perpetuate this racket. In our view, that is not acceptable."

22:09 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: I will say this for India.

22:09 IsambardPrince; At least they're trying to keep Muslims out.

22:10 IsambardPrince; India has made huge strides in LGBT rights in the past 10 years, and if the Muslims start piling in and voting, there's going to be a problem, but not just voting will be the problem.

22:10 IsambardPrince; You'll be dealing with "honor killings" and street violence and terrorism.

22:10 IsambardPrince; Nobody should want that in their country, so good for India.

22:12 IsambardPrince; If I was an elected official, I would vote against almost all of these proposed "transgender bans", like the bathroom bills and bans on reassignment surgery for adults, based mostly on my opposition to the State.

22:12 IsambardPrince; But I would also vote against adding coverage requirements to State health insurance or private insurance bills.

22:14 IsambardPrince; What is horrifying to me is that Republicans are also trying to ban the requirement to cover HIV/AIDS treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. And this is not okay. That's a disease, you don't want it spreading, and health insurance absolutely should have to cover it.

22:15 IsambardPrince; They're picking off things that are actual health issues, but which affect people they don't like.

22:16 IsambardPrince; There would be some positive benefits of a second Trump administration, but the situation as a whole is too terrifying to even consider.
