This happens quite a bit with underage drinking. Cop catches some kids who are not quite 21 with beer and instead of fining every kid up to $1,000 and suspending their license (which is now on their record), he makes them ditch the beer and move on. Rethinking the law means we’d decide it’s ok for all teens to drink. Sometimes the laws are solid, but there are shades of gray in terms of how to apply them.
Like automation, the ideal is that workers who are no longer doing the jobs “AI” (aka automated systems) can now do move on to doing higher level or more interesting work. But I agree that there’s often far too much trust that a system can now run itself with little to no checks or humans to tune the system.
The plagiarism reference was a joke! nothing is new and everyone is just retelling an old story, as Disney’s Beauty and the Beast sang, it’s a “tale as old as time”
Are people reading this article surprised that your devices know your locations? We are constantly getting "helpful" notifications that should make it VERY clear that's happening: "Parked car location updated" "It's 8am, are you on your way to work?" "Can you share feedback about that restaurant you were at but didn't check in at?" If people don't already know, then good for the Times for making sure everyone is checking their settings and paying attention.
Agreed, but even the medical services aren't coordinated. I was in for 4 days earlier this year -- in addition to being woken for blood draws, I was woken on a diff schedule for meds and still a third for breathing treatments..meaning every 2 hours I was woken up 3 different times...then early am they'd come to get a breakfast order.
I worked 3 jobs, was on the newspaper, ran track, and took a full course load on top of commuting home when I could -- I probably slept more than I do now but it was def not enough!
"We hope that the release of this landmark data set, the largest-ever collection of fully sampled MRI raw data, will provide researchers with the tools necessary to achieve even greater acceleration factors"
Every major tech company has had this problem, yet people still keep sharing their personal info (even home address, phone numbers, social security numbers) online. Don't share anything you wouldn't yell out on a crowded street to strangers.
Like many studies, in retrospect, it makes sense that agents would go to the simplest method of 1:1 comparison, rather than "learning" what is actually depicted in the image. Like a difference between how your brain tackles those games to find the differences between two nearly identical photos vs. a game where you try to name all the distinct items shown in an image.
I'm not sure they need to code and know every detail but...having actually USED a computer and having a basic understanding of how it works would be a good start.
So social media is like the tobacco industry? And what weas users knowingly, purposely share online should be regulated? And by which government? Companies like Facebook are global.
I have used these on LinkedIn, especially to respond to requests from people I don't know or am not actually connected to -- as the writer notes, it isn't really appropriate to actual email from friends and family. Though I suspect all of these are meant for people replying from a phone or watch who don't want to bother typing.
Now I'm reminiscing about driving with printed out MapQuest directions on the passenger seat. Now I use my phone to make sure I'm taking the fastest route even when I know the way.
Early voting also helps, many states let people vote through the weekend before Nov. 6. Or mail in ballots, but yes, making it officially on a weekend would simplify quite a bit.
