    Last week NASA and NOAA announced that 2014 topped the list of hottest years ever recorded. Yikes! What's worse, the ten warmest years ever recorded have all occurred since 1998. Yikes again! In the meantime, the ACT is skiing on stones and rocks in Switzerland ^^

    Network scientists have discovered how social networks can create the illusion that something is common when it is actually rare. One of the curious things about social networks is the way that some messages, pictures, or ideas can spread like wildfire while others that seem just as catchy or interesting barely register at all.

    "The effect is largest in the political blogs network, where as many as 60%-70% of nodes will have a majority active neighbours, even when only 20% of the nodes are active." How convenient :-)

  • Dario Izzo on 21 Jun 18
     
    " Avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias." Thats the very definition of the AI used today. If you learn from a dataset, you are biased to that data set. No escape from it.

    Not new, but always good to read: British intelligence recommend not having password expiry dates. Something we should apply at ESA!
  • Marcus Maertens on 30 Jan 19
     
    I second that. It has been an open secret for long though that frequent password changes are creating more problems than they solve. See Bruce Schneier: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/08/frequent_passwo.html

    "Pérez and his friends were astonished to see the unicorn herd. These creatures could be seen from the air without having to move too much to see them - they were so close they could touch their horns. While examining these bizarre creatures the scientists discovered that the creatures also spoke some fairly regular English. Pérez stated, "We can see, for example, that they have a common 'language,' something like a dialect or dialectic."

    Shocking. I assume that this could indeed have severe implications if it gets in the "wrong hands".

    "Feed it the first few paragraphs of a Guardian story about Brexit, and its output is plausible newspaper prose, replete with "quotes" from Jeremy Corbyn, mentions of the Irish border, and answers from the prime minister's spokesman." https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=37&v=XMJ8VxgUzTc "Feed it the opening line of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four - "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" - and the system recognises the vaguely futuristic tone and the novelistic style, and continues with: "I was in my car on my way to a new job in Seattle. I put the gas in, put the key in, and then I let it run. I just imagined what the day would be like. A hundred years from now. In 2045, I was a teacher in some school in a poor part of rural China. I started with Chinese history and history of science." (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/14/elon-musk-backed-ai-writes-convincing-news-fiction)

    It's really lucky that it was OpenAI who made that development and Elon Musk is so worried about AI. This way at least they try to assess the whole spectrum of abilities and applications of this model before releasing the full research to the public.

    They released a smaller model, I got it running on Sandy. It's fairly straight forward: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2
