Times of India | Scales School of Technology emerges as a strong choice for CS and AI education in India

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Scaler School of Technology (SST) in Bengaluru addresses the gap between India’s 1.6 million annual engineering graduates and industry needs by offering a hands‑on, AI‑first curriculum that replaces traditional lectures with early product development, startup execution, and applied AI projects. Students collaborate directly with founders and engineers from companies such as Meta, Google, and Uber, working in AI labs, robotics, and product studios on real‑world systems like large‑language‑model workflows, drone platforms, and Apple Vision Pro interfaces. The four‑year program progresses from building e‑commerce and AI‑enhanced web apps to complex routing engines, machine‑learning analytics, operating systems, and ultimately to launching a funded startup in the final year, supported by seed capital and an on‑campus innovation lab. SST reports that 96 % of its inaugural cohort secured internships with monthly stipends up to ₹2 lakh, and graduates have joined firms including Apple, Adobe, Swiggy, Zomato, and Tata 1mg, while many have started their own ventures. With a selective 3.3 % acceptance rate and a growing preference among students over traditional engineering colleges, SST exemplifies a new model of engineering education tailored to an AI‑driven software economy.

Times of India | Snapchat CEO warns Ray Ban maker on Meta smartglasses partnership; says: Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Glasses are harmful for your brand, as …

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel warned that Meta’s partnership with Essilor‑Luxottica to produce Ray‑Ban‑branded smart glasses is more damaging to the eyewear maker than to Meta itself, arguing that Meta needed the alliance because its own brand “is not something that people want to put anywhere near their face.” Spiegel said the deal could erode Luxottica’s high‑margin iconic product and hurt its brand positioning, while Meta relies on the Ray‑Ban name to mask its own poor perception in the wearable‑tech space. He also noted Meta’s ongoing privacy concerns and its reliance on established brands to build trust, as the smart‑glasses market becomes increasingly competitive with rivals such as Google, Samsung and Apple. Meanwhile, Snap continues to struggle with the adoption of its Spectacles AR eyewear, targeting developers and creatives despite limited consumer uptake.

FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.

Yes, even when its just a small beer thats cheaper than their average drink price. Just tell them they're retarded, and leave.

Fire Zuckerberg (and his dumb AI clone.)

USA Today: Meta plans first wave of 8,000 layoffs on May 20 https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2026/04/19/meta-layoffs-may-20-2026/89689553007/ @USAToday #Meta

Went to a cocktail bar last night fully intending to order a cocktail.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."

I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.

I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.

Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)

🙄 FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.

Es ist vollbracht. #cachyOS läuft. Nach #Meta und #Apple und #Google konnte ich nun endlich auch #Microsoft den Laufpass geben. Damit bin ich technologisch fast vollständig frei von der amerikanischen #broligarchy. Und alles nur wegen eines unterhaltsamen Vortrags auf dem #39c3 von @marcuwekling der verteilte Bedenken zu einem klaren Handlungsvorschlag zusammengefasst hat. Da muss man sich an der Stelle wohl mal bedanken! 🙏

PS: Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 sieht jetzt sogar besser aus als unter Windoof.

PPS: Ich bin echt kein Informatiker. Wenn ich das kann (und du auf Mastodon bist), kannst du das auch, Diggi!

And right now, in the USA, these trickier questions are mostly handled by individual states.

Below is a link to a webpage addressing a wide variety of situations involving audio & video recording.

This helps us consider the wide-range of issues involved here.

There are *legitimate* uses -- which are very different from how this #Meta product is used by bad actors.

This is a complex situation and Meta knew, or should have known, that it would be irresponsible to release this product at this time.

Meta's smart glasses make it easy to secretly film people. It's mostly women bearing the fallout

Laws around covert recording have struggled to keep pace with tech changes, law professor says

"Keväällä 2025 entinen Facebook-johtaja Sarah Wynn-Williams kertoi Yhdysvaltain senaatin kuulemisessa, että Meta on tehnyt yhteistyötä Kiinan kanssa sensuurityökalujen kehittämisessä ja tietojen jakamisessa. Meta kiisti väitteet, joista ovat Wynn-Williamsin lisäksi uutisoineet muun muassa BBC ja Reuters.

Edesvastuutonta väkeä -teoksessa Wynn-Williams muistelee seitsemää vuottaan ­Facebookin palveluksessa. Alkuteos Careless People nousi ilmestyttyään maaliskuussa 2025 The New York Timesin kirjalistan kärkeen Metan yritettyä vaikuttaa ensin sen julkaisuun ja sitten kirjoittajan medianäkyvyyteen sanktioin.

Wynn-Williams sai potkut vuonna 2017 syytettyään esimiestään Joel Kaplania seksuaalisesta ahdistelusta." Jne..

Every new post from Cory Doctorow is both enlightening and amusing.

So glad I escaped #Meta and I have tried in earnest to encourage friends to follow to #Mastodon, but so far, no joy.

Clicking "reject cookies" might not actually do anything

Google, Microsoft, and Meta largely ignore cookie opt-outs, independent audit says

See someone wearing #meta pervert specs? Try this one simple trick that doctors HATE:

- Tell the person their meta pervert specs are really nifty
- Ask to have a quick look at them
- Break the pervert specs over your knee
- Throw one half to the east, one to the north.

Je suis en train de me rendre compte d'a quel point ça me dérange pas d'utiliser #watsapp alors que j'essaie d'arrêter complètement Instagram et #méta ...
Je viens de jeter un coup d'œil à comment wattsapp gagne de l'argent.

Il y a des versions payante notamment pour les professionnels mais c'est surtout que c'est un organe de méta qui fonctionne avec les autres applications.

Ils n'auraient pas accès aux conversations qui sont chiffrées ni aux photos, vidéo, messages vocaux.

Irtaudun pikkuhiljaa Metan otteesta; jokin viikko takaperin poistin Facebook-tilin, vaikka itse äppiä en ole käyttänytkään melkein kahteen vuoteen. Tänään poistan Instagram-tilini ja julkaisin siitä juuri hyvästi-päivityksen. Whatsapista ei voi lähteä koska kaikki käyttää sitä ainakin toistaiseksi.

Poistumisen syyksi sanoin paitsi Metan toiminnan ylipäätänsä, myös sen jatkuvan tekoälysonnan mitä se suoltaa sekä käyttöön liittyen, että sisällöllisesti. Jatkuvalla syötöllä tulee mainoksia ja niiden välissä uutisia, jotka tarkoituksella aiheuttavat kahtiajakautumista, etenkin mitä tulee politiikkaan Suomessa ja maailmalla. Väkivaltakuvastoa, sortoa, jatkuvaa ihmisoikeusten loukkaamista... Ei vaan pää kestä enää. Toki nämä asiat ei tietenkään mihinkään häviä ja omalta osalta yritän vaikuttaa edelleen keskusteluun, mitä omiin mielenkiinnon kohteisiin ja epäkohtiin yhteiskunnassa tulee, mutta sen voi nyt tehdä ilman jatkuvaa botti- ja trolliarmeijaa tuolta jostain.

Toisaalta taas oma riippuvuus tästä helvetin kädessä pidettävästä mustasta aukosta vähenee nyt, todennäköisesti. Enää minut löytää siis vain täältä, ja täältä en ole kuitenkaan mihinkään lähdössä. Ellei Meta keksi tätäkin systeemiä ostaa.

See you more in the real world 🌍 f*ck capitalism ✊🏼
