If you’ve seen or read the news lately, you’ve probably heard about the Big Tech companies (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple) and their battles with Congress and privacy advocates. 2019 seemed like a bad year for these tech giants, with massive fines levied at Facebook, YouTube, and Google, not only in the US, but in Europe as well. A substantial part of the privacy advocate community sees those fines as much less than massive, but that’s a debate for another time.
It’s time for pumpkin-spiced everything, autumnal wreaths, sweater weather, corn mazes, and apple cider donuts. For me and a lot of America, I like making soups and stews for the colder, rainy weather. For this, I’ve been getting into the habit of making bone broth every fall.
If you’ve been playing attention to the news, you’ve likely heard about the new phenomenon called Deepfakes: computer-altered photos and video that seem to show one face perfectly superimposed on another. While it’s certainly an impressive and terrifying technology, it’s actually the result of a process that’s used all across technology these days called neural networks.
