I remember being gaslit by a computer science professor that the Monty Hall Problem didn't show probabilities changed based on sampling them.

Regression to mean also means that all AI slop eventually starts to look the same. Those folks telling you can't tell AI from human output are gaslighting you. We can tell them apart. It's pretty obvious, if you put in a little mental effort.

Over a year of learning Japanese. Almost two years now. Though, I’ve mostly dropped Duolingo and do immersion, I still keep my streak.

ほとんどニ年間日本語を勉強します。

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit!

I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!
Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

I don't see the benefit in letting people create fake images in mass quantities.

Give the government an inch...
UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age
UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age
Apple and Google will soon be "encouraged" to build nudity-detection algorithms into their software by default, as part of the UK government's strategy to tackle violence against women and girls, reports the Financial Times. According to the report, Home Office officials want device operating systems to prevent any nudity from being displayed unless users can verify that they're adults through biometric checks or official ID. The proposal is said to target mobile devices initially, but it could extend to desktops. The government reportedly explored making the controls mandatory for devices sold in the UK, but it has apparently decided against that approach for now. Apple currently offers Communication Safety tools that parents can activate and which detect nude photos and videos in apps like Messages, AirDrop, and FaceTime. However, teenagers can still view flagged images after dismissing an alert, while under-13s must enter a passcode. Google also provides parental controls through its Family Link feature and includes "sensitive content warnings" in Google Messages. But neither company offers system-wide nudity blocking that extends to third-party apps like WhatsApp. The proposal is sure to face objections from privacy and civil liberties groups, as well as questions about how effective any such measures would be. When the UK instituted age checks for porn websites earlier this year as part of the Online Safety Act, users got around restrictions using fake photos and VPN services. The proposals are expected to be officially unveiled in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to FT.Tags: Apple Child Safety Features, Financial Times, United Kingdom This article, "UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

How I'm trying to acquire Japanese:

1. Anki vocab deck in the morning or throughout the day.
2. Read 3 to 5 stories in Tadoku at my level (currently level 1) without looking up words.

Someone really ought to explain to kids going to college what the real difference between a BA and a BS is and that it doesn't make one degree more legit than another.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Web Apps are both underrated and overrated. Electron apps? Bad. Web apps served in the browser you can also install as chrome app? Good.
