I'm not too sure how practical the suggested "social-systems analysis" approach is. It is summarized as: "A practical and broadly applicable social-systems analysis thinks through all the possible effects of AI systems o

As someone who has been in grad school way too long this article provides a succinct description of the reason I hesitate to consider an academic career. However, I'm not sure the suggested solution at the end of the article is viable.

I think many times the researchers authoring the original articles merit as much scrutiny as the journalists who report on them. In the US at least there are many incentives to publish eye grabbing results, often at the cost of scientific r

I have the same question. In this case Facebook was able to identify Power acting on behalf of users because requests came from a common set of IP addresses. If Power had instead provided users with software to run from their own devices wo

I also maintain my family's mail server and haven't run into any issues sending to other providers. I assume it's because the system is kept up to date, secure, and follows recommended standards.

I must admit I initially thought the idea of this app was a bit silly, but after giving it a try yesterday I believe it is some of the best software developed by Apple in recent years. I ended up working through about half of the first Lear

This is a good demonstration that the nice green padlock in a browser is a symbol full of nuance.

Perhaps I am just paranoid but I don't enjoy the complete blocking of environmental sound cues that occurs when wearing most headphones. It would be nice to have more headphones which focus on delivering an ambient noise passthrough mo

This whole prep for interview testing seems very unpleasant and of questionable value to me. Are these interviews in any way representative of day to day operations in the job you are applying for? I worked as an independent software develo

Is anyone else concerned that as robots become more readily available and pervasive they will be an avenue for staging attacks from a distance? It seems the police found value in this robot as it allowed them to neutralize a threat without

I am not sure if this would really be much of a shock to researchers who have spent time working with fMRI data. I'm a computer science grad student, but spend at least half of my time taking courses and reading literature from the fie

This is very interesting work, as many weather conditions still pose big challenges for autonomous vehicles. I am curious about how practical it will be to maintain data for all roadways. Though deep sub-surface features may be stable over

I have had similar experiences working in robotics and I would imagine anyone else who has worked with designing navigation, mapping, or obstacle avoidance for robots would also be well aware of the shortcomings of each type of sensor. Even

I too expected the discussion to be more about the overall gain or loss of safety provided by autonomous driving features. My personal thinking is that if these imperfect autonomous systems can create a net reduction in road injuries and fa

I've been running one of their dedicated instance plans (2 CPU / 8GB RAM) for nearly a year now as my play environment. Overall I've been happy with it, the instance performs up to spec and has had only one downtime event ove

I work on social robots and despite implementing and knowing how the system works it is still difficult to withhold a social response at times. It's pretty fun to see how our social nature is automatically applied to so many things.

I have mixed feelings about this, but I think it could be positive depending on how data related to a user's suicidal state is protected. I recently started conducting studies dealing with technology and psychological interventions and

I'm the same age as you and while I generally agree with your thoughts on the subject, I do see some merit in the article. Personally I've noticed no lack of ability for people our age to reflect, even if they use technology to as

I mostly avoid LinkedIn, then they acquired Lynda.com and began integrating into (and basically degrading the experience of) a platform I had enjoyed for many years. My only concern is what this means for Lynda.com, it would be great if it

I would imagine that humans will maintain a wide variety of relationships with "sex robots", with some treating them mostly as tools/appliances and others seeking social relationships. Interestingly, I've been a research

I'm prescribed Adderall. While being treated for depression my doctor identified it as something that might be helpful for me. Contrary to the sentiment that these medications are just some kind of super energy drink, I find regular th

I'm in the same boat as you and I am beginning to worry about the effects of these increasingly frequent and exaggerated articles about stimulant use. I feel like a narrative is being constructed that will eventually lead to it being e

Stimulants (of any kind) don't complete your work for you, at best they provide a little extra capacity and focus.

I just wanted to say thank you for making these tools easily accessible and mostly free to try. I work in academic research and learned long ago to ignore any PR related to AI/ML products. The ability to easily play with and test the a

I've used the same strategy for the past few years with great results. Like you said it's really nice to see early on which companies are leaking your info. It's also nice to be able to kill specific email addresses once a br

IRB would likely not review this if the researcher pitched it to them as a public dataset. 45 CFR 46.101(b)(4) enumerates topics which are exempt from IRB review, one is: "Research involving the collection or study of existing data, do

Yep, selection bias seems problematic. I think it's also somewhat difficult to make statements about change over lifespan without a longitudinal design that tracks the same participants over time. I would guess that engagement styles w

What kind of laws apply in this locality? In the US I wouldn't be able to connect to their MongoDB server without it being a crime, password or not.

To me this goes back to the issue of having a reasonable expectation of privacy. As others have pointed out, if I am in a public place and someone snaps a photo of me or a surveillance camera records my actions, I generally can't argue
