Nothing prevents them, and they are already doing that. I work in this field and one can be sure that now, because of the notoriety this preprint got, the questions will be solved soon.

Looks like very sloppy research.

Very serious for mathematicians - not for ML researchers. If the paper would not have had the AI spin, would those 10 questions still have been interesting? It seems to me that we have here a paper that is solely interesting because of the

As mathematically interesting the 10 questions are that the paper presents, the paper is --sorry for the harsh language-- garbage from the point of view of benchmarking and ML research: Just 10 question, few descriptive statistics, no inter

The concept of pre-registered eval (an analogy to pre-registered study) will go a long way towards fixing this. More information https://mathstodon.xyz/@friederrr/114881863146859839

0xchat on the surface seems better: looks like a professionally maintained codebase, with clear ways to interact with the devs. But - has there been security audit been done?

by data_maan 1y ago
How does this (or 0xchat) compare to Signal? Have their been done any third-party security audits by reputable companies? If not, it's not safe to use - who knows what's buried in the source code (even if the source code is open).

Nice post, I smiled. There are several countries that didn't buy into the madness of registering SIMs, luckily. Most strangely, the UK, the master of CCTV. Apparently they realized that it's a useless measure and will just anger t

You're right about the contrapositive, but wrong about its meaning in this context. OP said: polite => not exist. I said: exist => not polite (the contrapositive). Thus this very well involves potentially intruding on other peopl

So you are saying that as a Japanese ordering a Japanese by phone, that your driver would: - happily speak on the phone while driving - listen to music - open the window to cool himself without asking if you're OK with that? (i.e. all

Hah! The converse to your claim is: the only way to exist is to intrude on other people space (by loud talking, hearing music etc).;)

This is as much about Uber/Lyft, as it is about the (nonexistent) level of politeness in the vest (US+Europe). Have you ever taken a Uber in Japan? The driver will make him/herself invisible. The space in the car is, factually, yo

You live in a bubble and you think that just because you use American products (GitHub owned by MS, AWS and the rest) the rest of the world does too. Why don't you have a look at Asia (and it doesn't even have to be China, it can

Uhmm.... Just use harder Catpchas? I can't really understand the outrage here, this problem of scraping to the point of being DDOSed, which is what the author seems to contend, has existed since forever.

The points of this post are essentially how Chinese companies operate (of course , some western companies have this issue too, but for Chinese ones it seems the norm: call everyone in, waste an hour if everyone's time) :)

But isn't it doing it manually death by a thousand cuts and doing it with AI tools just death by 100 cuts - so relatively better? Because it has to be done somehow...

While I agree on your point regarding midterm reckoning, I'm afraid people DID vote for Trump, he even won the popular vote - which is mind numbing: Americans actually WANTED to install a proven criminal and rapist as president.

The fundamental issue is that Joe voter is dumb - but you can't tell him that, or he won't vote for you (as Hillary Clinton found out). The million-dollar question is: How to you make Joe voter be less dumb?

by data_maan 2y ago
Being in a post policy politics era means voters are too dumb to vote on policy and will vote on messaging. No voter likes to know that they're dumb - but the fact that Donald Trump is soon the ROTUS implies they are. Maybe more should
