In the Teacup example I should've been more clear. I didn't mean general "real world" teacup recognition. I meant as a pedagogic example test case where your goal was only to recognize that EXACT object, BUT from any view ANGLE. That's a far simpler test case than real-world, and can even be done on trivially small parameter-count MLPs too. Yes for recognizing real world objects you need large numbers of examples of real-world images sure. I was merely getting at the fact that synthetic data can be perfectly valid training data, in research scenarios where we're just doing these kinds of experiments, to probe MLP learning capabilities.

What I'm trying to get at is if you have two sets of training data, that are equal in every way, except that one is synthetic and the other is real-world and training always fails on the synthetic data one, to me that's as "impossible" (i.e. astounding) as the Slit-Experiment that proves wave/particle duality, but it seems that this is indeed the case.

Recovery email is good but still not the most reliable way.

My #1 recommendation is to setup a passkey, and also set multiple security keys as the 2nd factor. All other authentication factors are subject to some form of heuristic defense.

Beyond that, a few optional things you can do in addition:

- Use Advanced Protection.
- Use a platform that's more secure , which are iOS, ChromeOS and some android (e.g. Pixel), in general and especially during recovery attempt.
Deepfakes are being weaponized against all politicians in Pakistan - not just women.

FYI, Pakistan is also in the process of releasing it's version of China's Great Firewall and has heavily leveraged the "AI Safety" argument for that [0][1].

Also, it's quite rich that a PMLN minister in Punjab is complaining about electoral safety when her party viciously cracked down on the PTI.

How can you know what things are getting invented today if it takes 100 years of refinements for it to blossom into common knowledge and use?

We can say we just invented quantum computers and AGI if the fax was supposedly invented in 1800.

In hundred years people are gonna argue with their AI that yeah, all that singularity is nice but it was actually invented 100 years ago, so stagnation all around.
Unsure about this specific case, but I personally try to avoid posting many selfies or any identifiable content online.

Always grew up being told colleges and employers look you up, and that all it takes is one poor perception to kill an opportunity.

I know this isn't as true as it might have been conveyed, but I still worry about image and how so many employers seem to care what happens in peoples personal lives, when to me as long as I show up and am meeting the objectives and expectations then that's all they need to worry about. My employer isn't compensating me to live a specific lifestyle and invade my privacy, as long as I'm a good employee then it should not matter.

I limit my presence online that is "official" ie selfies,blog posts or anything of the nature. I see this as a CYA because I want to be fired for how I perform at work and that alone, and because its helping keep my privacy above the average Joe.

Also it makes me as a phishing target harder.

You called the OP sexist, or at least the OP's so-called "throat clearing". An accusation of sexism is hostile, regardless of whether the accusation is warranted, and to be clear, I don't think it was warranted.

The costs to repair submarine fiber is high regardless of whether they're buried or not; they're already dragged up when they're cut by things like anchors.

It's more about the cost to bury the cable at a particular depth vs. the risk of it being cut (and expected cost to repair and outage cost).

There are guidelines to determine how deep to bury cable based on risk like the Cable Burial Risk Assessment. In shallow waters like the Baltic Sea, communications cables are buried to protect against things like fishing boats snagging them. For example, the C-Lion1 cable that was cut was buried a meter down.

In deeper seas where the risk of accidental cuts is near zero, there is little benefit to burying them.

Information is a virus. The cure is censorship. This may sound odd, but it's the truth.

When you read a negative word, even passingly, imagine all sorts of complex interactions that happen with the neurons inside your brain. Ban the words. Block everything. Keep your mouth shut. Create a chamber insulated from negativity.

Negativity is spam. Nobody asks for it and nobody wants it, yet people can't stop themselves from sharing it, forcing negative thoughts onto others' sight. This has to stop.

I don't go to the Internet to hear about the world's problems. The world doesn't have a right to waste my bandwidth to force me to see its propaganda. All I want is cat pictures. If it isn't a cat picture, I don't want to see it.

I don't care how many countries are at war right now. I'll learn about it at my pace, when I want to. Who gave war the right to invade the privacy of my feed? To appear there, unsolicited? To demand my attention, constantly, as if it were entitled to it?

It truly doesn't make any sense when you think about it.

I can't do anything about the world's problems. Go bother someone else.
No, it isn't sarcastic. It's the unfortunate truth. This is well reported on and researched. Republicans leave the Democrats a mess to clean up, the Democrats do, but the economy only starts to boom once the Republicans first return to power because of the lagging effect, and then they start tanking it again.
And I literally already posted the “ambiguous” language of red 3 legislation.

I mean most research is trying to figure out things we think are intuitive, but I actually find it somewhat interestingly. It says negative content, not news, so I wonder how this compares to say heavy metal or horror movies where people may use negative offline content in a way that may help process negative emotions.

> Cheap batteries from earth-abundant materials change that completely.

Not really. Batteries need to be about 100 times cheaper than current ones to make a difference. The way to think is this: how many cycles do you need to recoup the cost of the battery? Let's say you get electricity in the summer for roughly zero cents per kWh, and sell in the winter at 50 cents, and you incur zero losses. Current battery prices are above $100 per kWh, so you need at least 200 cycles to break even. At one cycle per year, that's 200 years. If, however, you charge during the day and sell at night, you can break even fairly quickly, even if the profit per cycle is just a few cents per kWh.

So, current batteries are ok for daily charge-discharge cycles. But not for yearly ones, and no battery will be for the foreseeable future, because the cost needs to go down by a factor of 100, at least.

I think the flat front is mostly design language to make the car seem more “masculine” or SUVish, and is even more noticeable because of the shorter hood on EVs.

The weight is just a consequence of current battery technology- no way to get that down much without hurting the range.

This seems like an especially easy trap to fall into specifically for medical patients (and their families). Everything about it, from the specialized knowledge of symptoms and ailments that aren't easy to reason about as a non-expert, the subtle details around different dosages of similar-sounding medications (e.g all of the accounting around "morphine units" detailed in the article), the Kafkaesque insurance bureaucracy often making it extremely difficult to switch providers and essentially impossible for mere mortals to understand the actual cost of procedures they're getting make it a perfect scenario for exploitation. In a situation where you or a family has (or is told they have) a deadly illness, those of us without medical training don't have the expertise to be able to verify what we're told, let alone take any steps to try to prevent severe pain or death without help from a doctor. What alternatives do people have to advocate for themselves or their family other than having to just trust what they're told? The article mentions that the hospital wouldn't share the results of a review or even confirm that a review existed of the death of a 16-year-old due to "confidentiality laws" when asked by _her own parents_.

Like plenty of other circumstances where someone is able to build a cult of personality, it's not someone having such extraordinary charisma that they can convince people to reject reality; they might be above average in their persuasiveness, but their real skill is identifying situations where people are vulnerable and don't have any alternatives. In this case, being the only oncologist anywhere in the region gave both his patients _and_ the hospital where he worked no obvious alternative than continuing to buy into whatever he told them, until someone from the outside without circumstances making him susceptible was able to push hard enough to force action (at no insignificant personal cost; the outside doctor who came in and built up enough momentum to force the unscrupulous doctor out is still dealing with a personal lawsuit alleging defamation despite the case against the hospital for defamation and wrongful termination being thrown out).

First off, yes, actually that's exactly what it means. If bots can solve CAPTCHAS then the CAPTCHAS are poorly designed, that's the whole point.

I don't think this sort of CAPTCHA type step should have a significant place in a good interview process in the first place, if it is important to you to put your applicants through this sort of gauntlet you're not treating them with the dignity they deserve.

If you're just looking to fill cogs in your machine, sure, but in that case you're just as likely to get kids who studied a bunch of interview questions but also don't know shit. I'd just as soon have someone who's good at ChatGPT.

Let me put it a different, perhaps simpler way:

Let's agree on the premise that good human engineers are much better hires than good AI users. If your hiring process fails to distinguish between good human engineers and good AI users that's evidence that your process is not producing good data.

In the exact same way that if your CAPTCHA is getting solved by bots it's a bad CAPTCHA.

> how can you ever have empathy with others if you refuse to appreciate the suffering of anybody but yourself and what immediately affects you?

Anecdotally, I have not observed an increase in empathy from people who immerse themselves in negative news about faraway places. There's sometimes an increase in the performance of empathy—you'll see them bemoan the various crises, you'll see them wonder aloud how anyone can go about their lives while ${STUFF} is happening—but I haven't observed an increase in their ability to actually be empathetic to the perspectives and needs of people closer to home.

If anything it's the opposite: the more immersed someone is in tragedies and crises on the other side of the planet, the more aggressive and thoughtless they are in response to hot topics locally. Instead of slowing down and developing empathy for those who disagree with them, they lash out. It's like being immersed in extreme crises they can't control causes them to perceive their local crises as more severe than they actually are and triggers fight or flight, which actually stands in the way of empathy.
This issue is frequently raised on HN. If estate agents only got 1% of sales, then could not even cover the cost of an office and (usually) a car and pay them self a middle class wage. Most people buy one or two houses in their entire life. It makes sense to have an expert to guide them through the process.
A few years back I was looking for science fiction novels that weren't depressing and dystopian. Turns out I'm not the only one looking and there are novels and short stories that cater to this desire but it's all lip service. The stories were all about a particular ideology fighting against the (strawman) system and eventually winning to become the system itself. That's it. The only positive concept that scifi can come up with now is one's ideology winning over all others and suffocating everything else out.
On the complete opposite end, if you go to a supermassive grocery store and buy their store brand then you'll be getting real honey simply because they have deep pockets and a massive target on their backs if they're committing fraud.
In capitalism, society gets what it rewards. If it wants more children it must pay the market price, just like everything else.

If it wants educated, productive children, it must also pay the market price and that price is exorbitant.

At some point, US tech companies will (maybe have already outspent) the US education system k-12 and at some point surpassing all the ivy colleges just for training some ai models.
I wouldn't have had an issue with it if I was WFH at that time, but I wasn't.

But I have been WFH the past six years and at this point I can't really handle going to the office for a full day anymore. Every once in a while I go into the office for something and after 4 hours I'm staring at the clock and itching to leave (even if I have work to do).

I usually duck out after about 6 hours, I say it's to beat the worst of the traffic (which is true, it's still pretty bad, I still have a 60-90 minute commute home), but also just because I feel super antsy by that point.

And my current office isn't terrible (but it's not good either). The one where I had to work 9 hour days that one summer was twice as sterile, with terrible dim flourescent lighting, and it was way too formal.
Perhaps an issue is that Moore's Law and the rapid rise in the performance of computation and communication have absorbed the creative energy -- and capital -- that would have been directed towards other kinds of invention in past ages.

The 1970s do coincide with the development of microprocessors, even though most of the constituent parts were already known.
For me, none of that stuff bothers me. What gives me the social media heartbreak is seeing the hate. Seeing commenters get so upset with each other over misunderstandings and miscommunications.

I've tried completely avoiding comments, and I admit it makes my life less stressful, but it feels like closing your eyes to solve littering.

So now what I do is try to assume every positive commenter is a human and every negative commenter is maybe a LLM/hatebot. This has given me just enough magical thinking to avoid the stress but not so much as to distort my world view... hopefully..

In my recent experience, CS courses should incorporate acting classes to help future job seekers. Right now more interviewees than I expected are doing a really bad job at trying to fool interviewers with LLMs and tools like this one. It's blatant obvious and too easy to catch cheaters (and then they are banned from any future positions on ethical grounds).
It does. Can you find any independent confirmation of those claims? I generally regard battery spec sheets as "wishful thinking," based on having done a lot of work with lithium chemistries in the past. Some of them are counting "cycle life" at 80% Depth of Discharge, which... kind of "isn't how that measurement is done."
Unless you are going to continue to run the site and have it change etc, there is no point doing this since archive.org already hosts static snapshots of sites.

My prediction was that we would create a cpu with a slow and limited opcode set for humans to write on line numbers. Something that is easy to work with with a good static module system with certified sniplets of code. Anything written for it would still run cirkels around higher languages despite slow clock speed. It didnt happen but still could.

How? Please be specific, because unless you're altering the source (which I'd be very unpleasantly shocked by), your use of untagged template strings makes it fundamentally impossible to mitigate such stuff, short of forbidding characters like & and < and " from data, which would be insanity. You're mixing template and data willy-nilly.

Don't know how it is in Germany but in the US, it's hard to escape the reach of "the news". You can choose to not go to news sites and not turn on news channels but news feeds are everywhere and tv are in public places blasting out the fear or outrage of the moment. It's difficult to not end up passively consuming it against your will. Even setting up a new Windows Server box will end up with MSNBC in your face because the first time you open a browser, that news feed is going to be featured on the default home page. You might have been trying to set up a new document server for the accounting department but now your brain is hijacked by the latest details of fighting in Syria. It really is pervasive.
