I got curious and wanted to see what method they are using: I believe they are using data from this portal? https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html

Looks like anyone can take this! But I guess that also means... did the dyslexics/dyscalculics self-select themselves?

Edit: took one. There is a demographics questionnaire where you can list whether you have disabilities, dyslexia is in there (but not Autism??)... So it is self-selected. And on unrelated note, I am apparently in the 1% that has a strong automatic preference for physically disabled rather than not-disabled people (facepalm

This is a good point... I'm more used to biomedical papers where this author list would be considered typical or even short, but yeah the affiliations seem to state that there are four PIs on this paper which is wild... don't know what to make of it. If someone knows archaeology better plz inform

I don't believe anyone mentioned this yet so... here goes nothing, there is a suspicion that this is due to A/B testing

This is a bug report from the Invidious project; this is back in June 6 (so four months ago), but the hoster of a fairly large instance noted a very bizarre error message on the Invidious project...

Conclusion is that Youtube is very likely rolling out A/B testing of requiring all clients to login before viewing videos

Refreshing will probably work considering this is most likely result of an A/B test, but unfortunately I don't see a way of this problem going away

I genuinely don't know... there doesn't seem to be any ongoing discussion of who or why are these people targeting IA. There are other people who are trying to rescue data stored on IA

Hope this would be over soon...

So it was the physics Nobel... I see why the Nature News coverage called it "scooped" by machine learning pioneers

Since the news tried to be sensational about it... I tried to see what Hinton meant by fearing the consequences. Believe he is genuinely trying to prevent AI development without proper regulations. This is a policy paper he was involved in (https://managing-ai-risks.com/). This one did mention some genuine concerns. Quoting them:

"AI systems threaten to amplify social injustice, erode social stability, and weaken our shared understanding of reality that is foundational to society. They could also enable large-scale criminal or terrorist activities. Especially in the hands of a few powerful actors, AI could cement or exacerbate global inequities, or facilitate automated warfare, customized mass manipulation, and pervasive surveillance"

like bruh people already lost jobs because of ChatGPT, which can't even do math properly on its own...

Also quite some irony that the preprint has the following quote: "Climate change has taken decades to be acknowledged and confronted; for AI, decades could be too long.", considering that a serious risk of AI development is climate impacts

A bit off topic... But from my understanding, the US currently doesn't have a single federal agency that is responsible for AI regulation... However, there is an agency for child abuse protection: the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect within Department of HHS

If AI girlfriends generating CSAM is how we get AI regulation in the US, I'd be equally surprised and appalled

• A privacy-respecting mail service: I use mailbox.org since it follows email standards, but I think many ppl like Proton mail/Tutanota. Recommend because they are privacy-respecting, and self-hosting email is way too difficult
• More of a yearly subscription per-se, but a personal domain from any domain registrar. Recommend because why not? There are so many cool things one can do with a domain: custom email, your own blog, professional website for job, ...
• A VPS from Linode (or any reliable provider). Recommend because some things are better done on a VPS... and I want a public-facing IP that is not directly from my bedroom
• I used to have subscriptions to the local arcade. Recommend because I basically get cardio workout on the DDR machine (and it costs less than a gym. And easier to cancel)

Based on my understanding of how these things work: Yes, probably no, and probably no... I think the map is just a "catalogue" of what things are, not at the point where we can do fancy models on it

This is their GitHub account, anyone knowledgeable enough about research software engineering is welcomed to give it a try

There are a few neuroscientists who are trying to decipher biological neural connections using principles from deep learning (a.k.a. AI/ML), don't think this is a popular subfield though. Andreas Tolias is the first one that comes to my mind, he and a bunch of folks from Columbia/Baylor were in a consortium when I started my PhD... not sure if that consortium is still going. His lab website (SSL cert expired bruh). They might solve the second two statements you raised... no idea when though.

Thanks! I think this is it... because I guess the more important part to this trope is that "hehe this is actually the world that you - dear viewer - lives in"... the high-fantasy part is secondary and depends on the genre I guess.

I... agree. Did get a lot of great recommendations tho!

East Asia; again, never heard anyone refer to "24/7" specifically (ok maybe at more hipster places that try to imitate American businesses?)... There might be a similar idiom for it but I genuinely couldn't think of any off the top of my head

I have actually never heard anyone say it this way specifically where I grew up... so technically the answer is "no"?

I tried to dug around and found a Reddit post saying this:

"The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines the term as "twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; constantly". It lists its first reference to 24/7 to be from a 1983 story in the US magazine Sports Illustrated in which Louisiana State University player Jerry Reynolds describes his jump shot in just such a way: 24-7-365."

So this might be a fairly new idiom? Which would explain why it's not really a thing in a lot of cultures... but I assume they have their ways of referring to this.

number of hours and days are the same

Ok akktually Japan has a rather interesting 30-hour day thing in the context of businesses... but jokes aside, the 24-hour, 7-day week system is indeed quite universal
