The article is misrepresenting the whole thing. It's voluntary, the devices are not just randomly picking up iris scans.

Click bait at it's finest.

Yes

Right, Morse was actually mentioned as an example when I was learning Huffman encoding. :)

Not sure what you mean by optimized.

You can do it with three symbols:

1. Dot: 10
2. Dash: 1110
3. Gap: 00

The long gap between words is just three short gaps.

There's a Vsauce video about this: https://youtu.be/HY_OIwideLg

Yes, the space is a necessary symbol in Morse code, otherwise it's impossible to decode.

Why not a "scrunchable" laptop? You scrunch it into a small ball and put in in your pocket. Main problem will be remembering not to toss it in the bin.

Not really, Morse code is not binary, but tertiary.

Sure, but this post is about detecting machine-generated content. How does ID verification help there?

The difference is that copyright violations can be detected relatively easily.

Care to expand on that idea? How does verifying an ID help in this situation?

Admins: please add a rule against memes.

OP: please post in a memes community, or create a new one if none fit your purpose.

Thank you.

Not for now. I'm waiting for that feature to be implemented.

I think you're missing the last part of the fully qualified name: ".world"

Good question. I know this is an unpopular opinion but maybe... they are actual subject matter experts and you're not?

I know, blaming a group of evil people is tempting, easier to understand and more satisfying that than a complex system of misaligned incentives grown organically through many decades of well intentioned but ineffective measures. Not that I know much about it, but, you know, conspiracy theories tend not to be true.

Yeah, that makes it even worse.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for not paying living wages to professors, I'm just describing the two systems I know and the results.

I don't know how to get teachers who are up to date with industry and love teaching. You get that when teaching doesn't pay, but it'd be nice if there was a better way.

How would it know what training data was used, unless they included the list of sources as part of the training data?

There's an alternative system where this doesn't happen: pay university professors less than a living wage.

You do that, and you'll get professors who work in the industry (they have to) and who love teaching (why else would they teach).

I studied CS in country where public university is free and the state doesn't fund it appropriately. Which obviously isn't great, but I got amazing teachers with real world experience.

My son just finished CS in a country with paid and well funded university, and some of the professors were terrible teachers (I watched some of his remote classes during covid) and completely out of touch with the industry. His course on AI was all about Prolog. Not even a mention of neural networks, even while GPT3 was all the rage.
