about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country

Very interesting read.

Finally, wanting to protect privacy was often seen by participants as a desire to hide shameful secrets in order to save face. Here too, surveillance is viewed positively, as a tool to unmask shady behaviours and promote morality.

Damn.

In short, the way the Chinese citizens I spoke to experience digital surveillance is characterized by strong psychic tensions: the same persons who support surveillance as being indispensable in the Chinese context are also and nevertheless expressing the heavy burden that coping with such exposure places on them.

Missile guidance in the Peace section - :yep:

The/In short from Wikipedia:

The Ig Nobel Prize is a satiric prize awarded annually since 1991

• Anatomy: Roman Khonsari, for finding that there is a greater instance of scalp hair spiraling in a counter-clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Biology: Fordyce Ely and William Petersen, for finding that placing a cat on the back of cows and repeatedly exploding paper bags every 10 seconds for two minutes led to them producing less milk.
• Chemistry: Tess Heeremans, Antoine Deblais, Daniel Bonn and Sander Woutersen, for their use of chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms as part of their research into polymer science.
• Botany: Jacob White and Felipe Yamashita, for finding that the plant Boquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants placed alongside it, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is plausible.
• Demography: Saul Newman, for finding that many claims regarding the existence of supercentenarians and other extreme age-related records originate from areas with short life spans, no birth certificates, and rampant clerical errors and pension fraud.
• Medicine: Lieven Schenk, Tahmine Fadai and Christian Büchel, for finding that counterfeit medicine that induces painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than counterfeit medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
• Peace: B. F. Skinner, for his study on housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide them to their targets.
• Physics: James Liao, for his long-running study on the ability of a dead trout to swim.
• Physiology: Takanori Takebe, for finding that several mammals can breathe through their intestines using their anus.
• Probability: A team of 50 researchers mostly based in the Netherlands, for supporting a prediction by Persi Diaconis that tossed coins are more likely to land the same way up as they started after they had flipped 350,757 coins.

I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.

it revealed a number of organs including blood vessels in the brain through the scalp

I’m confused. There’s a skull between scalp skin and the brain, right? o.O

What does one have to do with the other?

Do you think they see it the same way? “life down the drain”?

They still worked, got experience, got paid, worked on something, maybe even well and satisfactory even if overall direction and combination isn’t.

I don’t think calling it “life down the drain” is fair or good. As if that were all that mattered in their lives.

I wouldn’t call pasting verbatim training data hallucination when it fits the prompt. It’s not necessarily making stuff up.

I feel like you’re unfittingly mixing tool target behavior with technical limitations. Yes, it’s not knowingly reasoning. But that doesn’t change that the user interface is a prompt-style, with the goal of answering.

I think it’s fitting terminology for encompassing multiple issues of false answers.

How would you call it? Only by their specific issues? Or would you use a general term, like “error” or “wrong”?

Makes you wonder how they identified them. If they know what he wrote and he was using a VPN, it’s r either state prosecution receiving information from VPN provider and/or discord, them sharing personal info, or backdoors being used.

Does discord respond to Chinese inquiries? The Twitter example with mobile phone numbers makes me think that may be the most likely identification.

Too bad the article lacks these details.

she updates her github repos

I was so confused by the link not going to GitHub. (and the Lemmy instance looks very different from mine)

As a society, we’re responsible for all our children. The point of child protection laws, and population protection in general, is to support and protect them, because often times, parents are incapable of doing so, or it’s social dynamics that most parents can’t really understand, follow, or teach in.

Yes, parents should teach and protect their children. But we should also create an environment where that is possible, and where children of less fortunate and of less able parents are not victims of their environment.

I don’t think demanding and requiring big social platforms to moderate and regulate at least to the degree where children are not regularly exposed to life-threatening trends is a bad idea.

That stuff can still be elsewhere if you want it. But social platforms have a social dynamic, more so than an informative one.

Typically, for any game that has a campaign, I would consider completing that completing the game.

That doesn’t mean you can’t continue to have fun in endless modes or multiplayer. That’s a different orientation.

For multiplayer games, there’s no completion really. Play the tutorial? All maps once? Win once? Ranks? Endless leveling progress? All achievements? None of those really fit. There is no completion to a game without designed, completable progress. If there’s a max level, one could consider that a kind of completion. All achievements may subjectively fit too.

I don’t see how alternatives to choose from solve your issue though. I’d rather have one or few trustworthy ones.

There are/were alternatives. I looked at two others.

Results are transparent.

it’s not hard to find them when they’re selling fake reviews as a service

The article teaser beginning should make that clear as well
