Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
In figure 1 [4] we show the future energy reserves in billions of oil equivalent, Btoe, as a function of year. While we obliviously use up fossil fuels without taking stock of about what future reserves look like, we should take note of the endpoints shown here. These endpoints are dangerously close: Since our society is so dependent on fossil fuels, it therefore is extremely important for us to know when these fuels will run out according to [4]:
Oil will end by 2052 – 30 years time
Gas will end by 2060 – 40 years time
Coal will last till 2090 – 70 years time
However, according to BP [5], earth has 53 years of oil reserves left at current rate of consumption.
It is for a house in a residential area, and I don’t keep a lot of valuables in the house. I wish I knew who the attacker would be, so I can catch them with pre-crime.
I hope the cat in the movie will look more natural than the one in the game.
In the game, the animation looks great. I’m sure they took a lot of effort with the motion capture.
But there is something weird about the cat’s face. It just doesn’t look like a cat, no realistically, not cartoonish either. Perhaps some adjustment in the facial modelling will help.
Gizmodo is a global tech news site, not a local news site. The majority of articles on the site are not region specific.
It makes sense to save costs by translating the articles instead of writing separate articles. The local editors can improve the quality of the translated articles, adding or modifying parts to appeal Spanish-speaking audience.
Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during...
“Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences,” Zemmar speculated.
The article does not say that this is the first time ever that someone has died while on EEG, but that this is the first time that someone has died while on EEG with a high-density electrode array that allows for a detailed analysis of the brain waves. The article also acknowledges that there have been previous reports of EEG recordings of dying patients, but they were either limited by low spatial resolution, short duration, or lack of behavioral data. The article claims that this is the first study to provide a comprehensive and multimodal description of the brain activity and behavior of a dying person.

Sorry I might have overly generalised based on my personal experience. I have been a non-native English speaker for over 30 years, and I keep making grammatical mistakes.
Everyone is different and it depends heavily on how the person learned/acquired the language.

Objection! There is some contradiction in your statement. How do you tell they are already failing to do their job, if you say that their productivity is hard to gauge? If they deliver the expected results, why does it matter that they spend time planning their vacation?
If the employee is already found to be useless, the company can fire them without data from the tracking.
It is a failure of the manager if the subordinates’ work is only measured by hours worked but not with the KPIs. High-quality work by smart employees are much more valuable than employees who work slowly in front of the computer and making lots of mistakes costing the company more money at the end.
One way to make an A.I. model forget the things it learns from private user data is to use a technique called differential privacy. Differential privacy is a mathematical framework that adds carefully calibrated noise to the data or the model outputs, so that the privacy of individual users is preserved, while the overall accuracy of the model is maintained. This means that the A.I. model cannot learn any specific information about any user, but can still perform its intended task on aggregate data.
Another way to make an A.I. model forget the things it learns from private user data is to use a technique called federated learning. Federated learning is a distributed approach that allows multiple A.I. models to learn from local data on different devices, without sending the data to a central server. This means that the A.I. models only share their updates or parameters with each other, not the raw data, and thus protect the privacy of the users.
However, both of these techniques have some limitations and challenges. For example, differential privacy may require a lot of data and computation to achieve a good balance between privacy and accuracy. Federated learning may face issues such as communication overhead, device heterogeneity, and malicious attacks. Moreover, both of these techniques do not guarantee that the A.I. model will completely forget the things it learns from private user data, as there may still be some traces or influences left in the model’s behavior or performance.
Therefore, it is not fair to say that it is virtually impossible to make an A.I. model forget the things it learns from private user data, but it is certainly very difficult and requires careful design and evaluation. There may also be some trade-offs between privacy, accuracy, efficiency, and security that need to be considered.
