France managed to get in an exemption in the proposal for their police and security workers, who can keep their privacy. I think the wording is that this would only apply to apps available to "the public". So if "the public&q

In the proposal, they write that the service providers have to figure out a way to make the false positives reported to the police "minimal". This is obviously a major burden to put on the service providers, in effect completely e

Was travelling through Sassnitz / Rugen last year and the restaurants we visited didn't accept cards. We had to run around late trying to find an ATM the first evening. And that is a tourist region even..

Yes, some of the parties did. In Sweden for example, the government parties just decided to greenlight the EU proposal that is up for vote now, even though their EU parliament representatives (from the same parties) had said before the rece

Tangentially, but I'm wondering how the calculations really go with the robo-taxis. Taxidrivers here are probably getting $5/h or so and it's a job you can get without any skills at all, you don't need to speak the langu

Yes I see the last one was supposed to flash twice, but at 2 positions. The explanation is the same though as far as I understood the article, that the brain processes all flashes as a single temporal chunk and that is what causes the tempo

Yeah it's supposed to be two flash positions only, but I missed that the last one is supposed to flash twice which it apparently doesn't in the gif so that was the confusion.

"The researchers exposed people to a distressing emotional experience for three days in a row: they had to listen to a recording of themselves singing—often out of tune—to karaoke, which aroused shame." Heh.. The researchers have

That is the whole point of the illusion, that there are two filled circles that flash and your brain perceives it as 3 flashes because they come so fast that they are processed as a temporal chunk before you become aware of it.

I still think it's a big difference between trusting existing OS'es and apps, which are under scrutiny by hundreds of security researchers and thousands of security nerds all the time, and willingly sending away all your data to a

I think it boils down to that it doesn't matter what they promise, if you send a videocap of all you ever do on your computer to some company on the internet, you just have to take your chances. Would you put mics and cameras in all of

The ChatControl2.0 proposal was put forth by Ylva Johansson who is from the left in Sweden. She literally says "But think of the children" in every interview she made after this. There has been many accusations of corruption, for

You put 0-ohms where you think you might at some point want to have something else there like a > 0 ohm resistor or an inductor (for EMI blocking for example), it's much easier to just reprogram the SMD robot than to make a new PCB.

But many chatgpt hallucinations are catastrophically wrong. For example when querying for things related to advanced scientific subjects in physics and medicine for starters from my own experience. I really want to give this a pass but the

Fortunately for us customers, it seems Uber catalyzed a transition among most other taxi companies as well to improve this. A bunch of local taxi companies here have apps that have the same features as Uber, where you can pay in the app and

I've never trusted those predicted binding energies. If you have predicted a ligand/protein complex and have high confidence in it and want to study the binding energy I really think you should do a full MD simulation, you can pul

My point one level up in the comments here, was not really that the system is broken, but more like asking how you can run these companies (google and that other part run by the deepmind founder, who I bet already has more money than he can

That sucks a bit. I was just wondering why they are touting that 3rd party company in their own blog post, who commercialise research tools, as well. Maybe there are some corporate agreements with them that prevents them from opening the sy

To say the least. It's a bit unfortunate that there is about 0 culture in the EU regarding moonshot projects compared to silicon valley. I've tried to get money a couple of times from government grants for (yet another..) foundati

To put another perspective on this, lots of modern advancements in both ML/AI and especially computer graphics has come from ideas already from the 70-80s that were published, forgotten, and revived. Because underlying dependencies cha

It would be cool if there was like a threshold in training from scratch, where after this actually works for adding higher level knowledge. So you would start training it like usual to get it to absorb generic langauge skills and reasoning
