Why Orwell’s 1984 could be about now
By Jean Seaton - 7 May 2018
The book, with its disorientating first sentence, “It was a bright cold
day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen”, defines the peculiar
characteristics of modern tyranny. In 1984 television screens watch you,
and everyone spies on everyone else. Today it is social media that collects
every gesture, purchase, comment we make online, and feeds an omniscient
presence in our lives that can predict our every preference. Modelled on
consumer choices, where the user is the commodity that is being marketed,
the harvesting of those preferences for political campaigns is now distorting
democracy.
But the greatest horror in Orwell’s dystopia is the systematic stripping
of meaning out of language. The regime aims to eradicate words and the
ideas and feelings they embody. Its real enemy is reality. Tyrannies attempt
to make understanding the real world impossible: seeking to replace it with
phantoms and lies.

Poetry for a surveillance society
Joseph McAllister combines technologies with media to produce unique art
Thu, Jun 14, 2018, 06:35 - Marie Boran
I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a …webcam? Joseph
McAllister describes himself as “a computational artist and privacy
advocate”. He combines technologies like machine learning and programming with media including sculpture and interactive theatre to
produce unique art for the increasingly technocratic age we live in.
His latest work is Webcam Poetry, which uses a machine learning
method known as “dense captioning”, a method that detects objects in
video footage and produces descriptions in natural language. Combined
with his own programming (he calls it his poetry engine), it takes live
streaming webcam footage and “writes” poems based on what it sees.

How INTERPOL supports Brazil to tackle international crime
Brazil is the largest South American country, with 16,000 km of land
border and 8,000 km of coastline to protect against incoming crime. Its
geographic location at the heart of the Americas, and its numerous
maritime ports sitting on transshipment routes to global markets, make it
attractive to organized crime.
The capacity to take investigations beyond this vast expanse of territory
to work with police forces the world over is crucial to safeguarding Brazilian
national security.
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Brasilia plays a
fundamental role in protecting the country’s economy, institutions and
businesses against global crime.

Considere o trecho do resumo de um artigo relacionado ao uso de agrotóxicos na agricultura brasileira para responder à questão.
The intensive use of pesticides in Brazilian agriculture is a public
health issue due to contamination of the environment, food and human
health poisoning. The study aimed to show the spatial distribution of the
planted area of agricultural crops, the use of pesticides and related health
problems, as a Health Surveillance strategy. We obtained data from the
planted area of 21 predominant crops, indicators of the consumption of
pesticides per hectare for each crop and health problems. The amount of
pesticides used in the Brazilian municipalities was spatially distributed and
correlated with the incidence of pesticides poisoning: acute, sub-acute
and chronic. The health problems showed positive and significant correlations with pesticide use.

Researchers create first sensor package that can ride aboard bees.
Researchers at the University of Washington have created a sensor package
that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee.
Farmers can already use drones to soar over huge fields and monitor
temperature, humidity or crop health. But these machines need so much
power to fly that they can’t get very far without needing a charge.
Now, engineers at the University of Washington have created a sensing
system that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee. Because insects can fly on their own, the package
requires only a tiny rechargeable battery that could last for seven hours of flight and then charge while the bees
are in their hive at night.
“Drones can fly for maybe 10 or 20 minutes before they need to charge again, whereas our bees can collect
data for hours,” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor in the UW’s Paul G. Allen School
of Computer Science & Engineering. “We showed for the first time that it’s possible to actually do all this
computation and sensing using insects in lieu of drones.”
