I haven’t heard of academics and/or media from China advocating for applications of phrenology/physiognomy or other related racist pseudosciences. Have you?

one can also get the full paper directly from yale here without needing to solve a google captcha:

https://insights.som.yale.edu/sites/default/files/2025-01/AI Personality Extraction from Faces Labor Market Implications_0.pdf

I don’t have the time nor the expertise to read everything to understand how they take into account the bias that good looking white men with educated parents are way more likely to succeed at life.

i admittedly did not read the entire 61 pages but i read enough to answer this:

Plastic surgery would become more popular.

One of the paper’s authors had the same thought:

“Suppose this type of technology gets used in labor market screening, or maybe dating markets,” Shue muses. “Going forward, you could imagine a reaction in which people then start modifying their pictures to look a certain way. Or they could modify their actual faces through cosmetic procedures.”‌

She also bizarrely says that:

“we are very much not advocating that this technology be used by firms as part of their hiring process.”

and yet, for some reason:

The next step for Shue and her colleagues is to explore whether certain personality types are drawn to specific industries or whether those personality types are more likely to succeed within given industries.

i haven’t used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you’re OK with a US or Canadian number.

there is a lemmy community about it here: [email protected].

Or, you know, just block domains that use Microsoft email

I’m guessing you probably don’t realize how many organizations host their email with Microsoft.

i agree reactions can be useful, but adding them to email the way Microsoft has is obnoxious for recipients using any client other than theirs. and, i think this is probably their intention: receiving an email reaction in a client that doesn’t render it as a reaction feels wrong and MS probably hopes this will encourage some people to switch to using Outlook.

the right way to add reactions to email would be to make it opt-in (and also not a vendor-specific header but instead something which aims to become a standard): clients should only allow reactions to messages which contain a header signaling that the sender supports receiving them.

Deep Space Nine?

I want to talk about foods with the bare minimum ingredients where if you would have added more, it would have been a disservice.

their fishing rods are invisible for you? including the hook and line? that must be rough. how do you avoid getting caught when you can’t even see them?

Bespoke is a synthesizer first but “like a DAW in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration.” (youtube trailer, wiki, wikipedia)

“But you can’t copy with Ctrl+C, it’s…” - You can. When something is selected It copies selection to clipboard, otherwise it sends SIGINT.

What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected? In every one I’ve ever used, ctrl-c still sends SIGINT even with text selected (and one must must use ctrl-shift-C/ctrl-shift-V to copy/paste).

I don’t have any suggestion for getting the behavior you’re asking for, but besides the normal ctrl-(shift)-C/V clipboard FYI you also have two other types of clipboard-like things: one which works anywhere (not only in the terminal) and is actually always automatically copying anything you select and lets you paste from it with middle click (this originated with X Windows but i think most Wayland compositors have also implemented it by now), and another which is found in GNU Readline (used by bash and numerous other REPLs) called the “kill buffer” which can be pasted (or “yanked”) from and cut (or “killed”) to using Emacs keyboard shortcuts (which also include various cursor movement controls).

Notes:

• the kill buffer is local to a given readline context, it’s not shared across different shell windows.
• the list of emacs keybindings in that wikipedia article i linked is currently confusingly referring to the kill buffer as “the clipboard”
• you can drastically reconfigure your readline keybindings and other behavior by editing your .inputrc file, but you cannot achieve what you were originally asking for because there is no concept of text selection in readline.

HTH!
