That has to be one of the more amazing attacks I've ever seen, but of course it only works in a really weak environment where someone is trying to use a single disconnected machine otherwise close to other machines with normal capabilities.

I'm actually curious if something like this is behind the logic of why a minimum 6-foot gap is required between classified and unclassified workstations in the same building. But actual SCIFs don't allow radio waves through the walls and don't allow any sort of radio-enabled devices that may be able to read this signal and send it back home inside. You definitely can't bring IOT devices anywhere remotely close to a high-security environment.
I think this headline is bad. When you read the abstract you find that what this is really saying is that there are essentially no studies that are fit for purpose to evaluate AI systems for breast screening in general and those that are the closest to being suitable show the worst results. That's the real take-away here - we're not even at the point where we're collecting good data about AI accuracy, let alone actually producing accurate AI.

I would suggest these two things might be linked - the only way you get publishable results is by failing to do rigorous studies.

this is standard procedure, nothing special. all companies, large or small, set aside funds for possible fines when facing an investigation.
­>Ummmm... yeah they can. If we're talking about 10-minutes for a hypersonic missile to arrive, that thing's bearings / velocity can be completely different by the time the missile arrives on the horizon.

Sure, at the expense of distance travelled from last detection.

> I'm still not really convinced that you'd detect a carrier first in most open seas. Carriers would have airplanes of their own, scanning for enemies, and a number of anti-air destroyers ready to shoot down any spy plane. You call it a numbers game, but IMO, its a sensor game.

> Any airplane who approaches the carrier has to themselves, survive the Carrier's defense systems (including the defensive spyplanes keeping watch over the carrier group)

Look at exemples of modern warfare. Air defences are made to whittle down and slow down repeated strikes by your oponents. No one has ever managed to completely prevent any intrusion at all, much less from a single carrier's airwing.

>I'm not sure if the carrier sticks out that much in its CSG. No carrier works alone: there are a lot of other ships floating around it providing support.

The surroundings in the context of that comment are the open ocean. Unless you mean that the sensors aren't going to be able to distinguish the carrier from other ships in the CSG.
That just means the scans were easy to interpret and/or the consequences of error were not mortal. While that's most scans, the ones where we care about the most accurate results are the ones the AI is worst.
I would expect nothing, because the security we put ourselves through is nowhere close to sophisticated enough to notice.

I've made one of these, and they do work extremely well, but they're missing one key thing that I now consider vital: Activated Carbon.

A HEPA filter is doing the heavy lifting within any air purifier, it is therefore the most important ingredient. Activated Carbon is well known for removing smells/cents, but it does more than just that: It also neutralizes VOCs and some other gaseous pollutants which can travel through a HEPA filter.

This is why I currently have a commercial air filtering solution instead of my box fan + 3M filter, it has suspended Activated Carbon around the HEPA filter fabric. I don't know how I'd achieve that with my box fan solution, and I've not seen anyone else try to address it.

Other air purification technologies have safety issues (e.g. ionizers, ozone) or just outright don't work (e.g. UV light inside a channel). HEPA and Activated Carbon have measurable upsides with no downsides aside from their cost. They're the best we have today in spaces occupied by people.
At worst, it's a wash. At best... I'd have to have a better idea about what you mean by "liberty & democracy". For starters, it's not clear that the Taliban have less popular support than the ruling coalitions in many western governments.

I think the problem with this is that the AI is being used on metrics and images and tests that have meaning to humans. But if we started to take diagnostics that had higher dimensions and resolution, and just trained blackbox AI on that data, it probably stands to reason that it could do a better job. Especially with a tight feedback loop that would identify interesting regions and rescan them instantly, instead of having to bring patients back into the room at a later date.

It's the same problem I have with self-driving cars. We are teaching cars to behave around (and like) humans, instead of just fencing off the highways and inventing an autonomous system of vehicles that doesn't have this much tougher constraint. I think AI can do a lot of good things today, if the people trying to apply it looked to completely redesign existing systems around AI, instead of trying to replace the humans operating the existing systems. The latter is much more difficult.

I had considered something similar, but recently I found that Ikea has started selling air purifiers and sensors for very reasonable money.
They even sell an activated carbon filter that you can add.

I've lived in the US and UK and generally agree with you. But one thing that got me is that it seems fairly easy to defraud the system in the UK with everyone so freely giving out their bank account numbers.

What actually protects the bank account numbers in the UK/EU? Why do people seem totally unconcerned with giving out this information there?
My issue with Plaid (and I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong) was not being able to connect to TDBANK unless I turned off 2FA temporarily on my bank account which is obviously a bad thing to do. They had some lawsuit drama back and forth before, so I'm not sure if the connection problems were related to that.

Regardless, I've quit using services that rely on Plaid. It's too much of a hassle and potential risk to deal with for me at the moment.

Personally I find the idea of a charity begging for cash whilst simultaneously paying outrageously large amounts of money to execs to be immoral.

My limit on reasonable salary is 5 times the UK median graduate salary.

If ".5% of revenue is reasonable" surely there's no excuse not to increase salaries of everyone working for a company -- pay everyone ludicrous sums as each salary is small!

IIRC studies have shown exec salary doesn't correlate with increased company success, why should revenue come into it.
Tweets not loading, with an error, except after several tries, is a commonly-reported problem. I've seen it for years, across multiple browsers & devices, happens all the time.

It might go away if you log in. I wouldn't know.
But then you’d have to change the filters and if you didn’t possibly cause airflow problems and then overheating. It would be a nice feature as long as you keep up with it though.

I'm biased, but the spec is supposed to be very accessible to people without a cryptography background. There's a section on who the intended audience is and what assumptions are made about their background. I'd really recommend it.

> The SM3/4 were unfamiliar to me - apparently it is a hash function & block cipher used in Chinese WiFi variant.

SM3/4 are required for use in certain places in China. RISC-V is popular in China, hence their inclusion in the RISC-V spec. My expectation is that SM3/4 will not likely ever be adopted outside China.

> Physical entropy source (with some variants to accommodate low profile variants)

There are no "variants" of the entropy source. There is one entropy source interface definition which is designed to scale across the many RISC-V implementation profiles. It's very different to x86/RDRAND which lots of people are used to.
Rescinding privacy (and by extension democracy) just because you don't like it when some anonymous person tells you to "go fuck yourself" is not really a good policy to pursue in a supposedly healthy democracy.

Well, for an anecdote, the process of renting an apartment was considerably easier in UK when it came time to send in payments.

In London, once I'd signed a lease, the rental agency simply gave me account numbers for the deposit and other fees. I sent the payments to UK from my Finnish bank account at no extra cost (bank transfers within the EU/UK payment area are free).

In New York, once I'd signed a lease, the rental agency told me I need to bring them seven cashier's checks by Monday for the deposit and various fees going to different destinations (condo management corporation, etc.) At this time I was in London, so shuffling physical pieces of paper from a bank into an office in NYC wasn't going to happen! Kindly the agency agreed to allow me to wire them the total sum, and they would "cut" the checks for a mere $15 / check. For seven checks, that was an extra $105 fee — for nothing really except to work around a system still built on 19th century assumptions of money. (I also had to pay fees to send the wire transfer, because Americans somehow believe that bank transfers cost tens of dollars to process.)

Additional patchwork layers like Venmo don't solve these issues. Sending thousands of dollars to a landlord or management corporation isn't the same as sending $50 to a friend for dinner.

It’s not really practical to defend against for most end users.

Keeping a whitelist of known keyboards and mice is really the only defence even on Linux, and unless you work in a data centre that’s probably way overkill.

With a home PC that doesn’t really work though, because in order to authenticate your mouse without some kind of central mouse log on a server you probably need to click a button, which you can’t do without authenticating your mouse.

Ampro “Little Board” PC
"Late March 2010, I went to the Greater Baltimore Hamboree & Computerfest, commonly called 'Timonium' after the local town. At the outdoor fleamarket near the end of the first day, I obtained an old ISC brand (Intelligent Systems Corporation) Intecolor S-100 system, built inside a color TV monitor. But inside that monitor was also an Ampro Z80 single-board computer called the 'Little Board'. This product was a kind of response to the 'Big Board' Z80 computers of the era, board which were the same area as an 8-inch floppy drive. The Little Board fits under a 5.25-inch floppy drive. (Note: a modern Ampro 'Little Board' is a Pentium class embedded computer.)"
way cheaper than 90%, and way faster than 99%. Radiologists are crazy expensive, at least 50$ per scan. Let's say you use a 1000$ GPU (which you don't need to as these models are usually tiny in practice because of the limited size of medical datasets and because you're not doing hundreds of scans per second.. a CPU is very likely fine). Then.. just 20 scans in you make your money. Let's say the license cost is 5$ per scan. Still make your money very fast.
I studied German for years and I dabbled in Swedish just to get a sample of what the language was like.

I was surprised how closely related Swedish and English are. In my opinion, I think Swedish is closer to English than German even. I still think Dutch is closest to English, and data tends to agree, but Swedish's similarities, minus being a declarative language and a few other aspects, really caught me off guard.

It’s always random chance. What’s non-random is why it’s kept in the genome. I’m no plant expert, but genome duplications could be linked to increased fitness due to amount of resulting protein product, right?
Under-rated comment here. The question is not whether some AI beats experts, even though the conclusion of this paper is clearly that the state-of-the-art AI does in fact beat them, but whether they are going to beat the radiologist at the free clinic in some poorly-served place.
Twitter should be a protocol integrated into browsers, not a site.
Sure, air quality is relative, but 100 AQI is the point where I start getting headaches. Obviously it can get much worse.

I got the air filters on Amazon, which can be US centric, but usually you would get them at a home/hardware store. They are made for slotting into a furnace/HVAC set up. For places where that is less common, they may be harder to find.
This is getting some negative attention and, on second look, it reads a bit like I'm suggesting there's something nefarious or conspiratorial about this without actually saying it directly.

I'm not. It's an interesting project, and I'm genuinely curious as to how they ended up with that roster of initial member banks (if nothing else, because it sort of informs my expectation of this plan succeeding)

The envelope contains no barcode :-)

They have:

- The strings "Entgeltfrei im Bereich der Deutschen Post" (free shipment in Germany), "Wahlbrief" (postal voting document), "An <address of your local election office>"

- The name of the manufacturer and an order number for the envelope (which is identical on all envelopes), "Fachverlag Jüngling-gbb, Bestell-Nr 109 024 9319 099"

- Two fields that are filled out by hand (with a pen) by the election office before sending them to the citizen, "Wahlscheinnummer" (serial number) and "Stimmbezirk" (polling station)

They have not changed in the last... 30 years? :-)

I don't think any of that could trigger a barcode library :-D

EDIT: This is not true for all postal voting documents in all German municipalities, every municipality can order their own postal documents from several sources (or even print their own), but the specific envelope with the "green image problem" still does not contain a barcode, as seen in the last image the user posted: https://imgur.com/a/SCHGo4N

Some background info on mammograms (x-rays of the breast). For whatever reason breast cancer is highly political in the US. As a result there are federal laws regarding communication of results and scheduling follow-up exams that apply to mammograms only and no other radilody or other medical test. To comply with these laws radiologists set up a uniform grading system with highly specific jargon. As a result the formatting and language used in mammogram reads by radiologist will be much more consistent than, say, a chest x-ray screening for lung cancer. This makes mammograms the ideal studies to be tackled by AI
Because the current approach to AGI depends on absolutely nothing happening inside the membrane of the neuron.

If there are 5,000 intercommunicating structures with quantum properties * 80 billion classically connected neurons instead of just the 80 billion node neural network, we may have not even approached the capabilities of a single neuron with classical binary supercomputers. That would explain why there isn't a single example of successful AGI, even to emulate the behavior of simple bacteria.

As far as efficiency, quantum computers require 1,500 square feet and lots of electricity to preserve the state of tens of qubits. They can solve problems with less overall power than classical alternatives, but you can't pack a whole lot of them into a neuron.

There are some useful questions to explore around that; for example:

Is there anything intrinsic about those tasks that means that control of those computing devices has to be rendered partially unto third parties by the everyday consumers who own them?

Or, to put it another way: can the useful affordances that everyday users find in proprietary software equally be implemented in free and open source software?
