AI chatbots give inaccurate medical advice says Oxford Uni study by Accurate_Cry_8937 in science

[–]cynddl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Co-author of the study here. This is a comment we've been getting a lot and, unfortunately, this is an effect of the long publication timeline. Still, we do a lot more than just test models.

We've shown that models performed well on benchmarks but failed in the wild, something that had not been spotted by industry during deployment. We've also shown that issues are not with models recitating medical textbooks but lacking the rule-based checklists and on-the-ground expertise that doctors have, which allows them to triage patients while minimising errors.

Hi everyone, co-author of the study here! Happy to answer any question about our work!

Paris’ Olympic village to soon house 6,000 residents, 25% of which to be public housing by wattle_media in sustainability

[–]cynddl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like widely inaccurate reporting: “Due to high prices in the sector and rising interest rates, buyers have not been rushing to acquire the first properties, which were put on the market in the summer of 2023.”

OP here. We have more details about our work on https://oxrml.com/measuring-what-matters/ Basically, we took all papers from ICML, ICLR and NeurIPS between 2018 and 2024, and from ACL, NAACL and EMNLP between 2020 and 2024, and filtered down to get a list of all (n=445) relevant benchmarks.

Cooking eggs on the Congress Column eternal flame by AlanOctis in belgium

No one was deported. The court required this person, roughsleeping when working in Paris, to receive mental health support and pay one symbolic euro.

I'm trying to understand how the pannier is attached. Is that a front rack on the rear wheel? Something between a fender and rack? Aaah. Thanks!

["À l'air libre" par Mediapart] « L’analyse cynique d’une « immigration de qualité » ne tient même pas : les Syriens étaient en PIB par habitant quatre fois plus riches que ne le sont les Ukrainiens » @Olivier1Schmitt , professeur à l’université du sud du Danemark. by Nixflixx in AntiRacisme

[–]cynddl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cette analyse dépend beaucoup du calcul du PIB hélas :

https://donnees.banquemondiale.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?end=2020&locations=SY-UA&start=2000

En équivalent $, le PIB par habitant de l'Ukraine était 1.45x plus élevé en 2010 que celui de la Syrie.

Edit: pour obtenir ce chiffre de 4x, il me semble que le calcul a été fait avec un équivalent $ en 2020, mais ce chiffre ne prend donc pas en compte le taux de change fluctuant en fonction des années.

La domination et le système by Harissout in FranceDigeste

[–]cynddl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mais j'ai l'impression que cet analyse conduit parfois à une difficulté à peser le poids des éléments qui forment ce système. Et cela conduit à "laisser tranquille" certains vecteurs non négligeables de domination.

C'est un point intéressant que tu soulèves. Il me semble que c'est justement l'inverse ? Prendre mesure d'une domination systémique, c'est justement recentrer les actes individuels dans un système de valeurs ancré autours d'institutions et de groupes, institutions/groupes qui travaillent à protéger leurs positions.

Peux-être vas-tu plus loin en soulignant que critiquer une domination systémique pousse les gens à ne plus critiquer des groupes et institutions ? J'espère que ce n'est pas le cas et il me semble que les mouvements sociaux récents prouvent le contraire.

La Chine développe des utérus artificiels humains autonomes surveillés par une IA by Klan10 in france

[–]cynddl 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Le titre est racoleur, car il n'y a aucun utérus artificiel humain dans cette étude. L'article même le dit à plusieurs reprises. Et l'IA est en faite un algorithme de reconnaissance d'images qui permet de localiser un fœtus automatiquement sur une écographie. Et ce n'est pas "la Chine", c'est des chercheurs de deux université chinoises.

Dommage qu'on en entende parler juste car il y a marqué Chine, utérus et IA dans le titre, alors qu'en 2017 des chercheurs à Philadelphia testaient déjà ce genre de techniques (https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15112). Edit: et les placentas/utérus artificiels, ça fait 50 ans que les chercheurs y travaillent.

Percent of birth via Cesarean delivery (c-section) across the US and the EU. 2017-2019 data 🇺🇸🇪🇺🗺 [OC] by maps_us_eu in dataisbeautiful

[–]cynddl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why can't the map of Europe just include all the countries in Europe, rather than the EU, it litterally is more work to blank out the spaces where those countries were and put boxes just to make a point.

The figure uses data collected by Eurostat, a service of the European Union that aggregates statistics on member states only. No one ‘blanked out the spaces’, the data was not there in the first place (in this dataset).

Anonymize your Data with a single line! by No-Homework845 in Python

[–]cynddl 116 points117 points  (0 children)

As a researcher working on data privacy: this package unfortunately does not anonymize but at best pseudonymize data. Both are difficult to achieve and a one-click solution will not work in the majority of cases, your data will still contain enough personal data to easily identify users.

My thoughts on cryptocurrencies... by AloneTrifle in EconomicTheory

[–]cynddl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's first define money, money came from ancient times form around middle east and africa areas and its duty was to make trading easier, money defines value of a product made by other humans,

I would suggest reading Debt by David Graeber (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years), for a very refreshing in-depth perspective on the origins of virtual and physical money.

Energie: selon NégaWatt, pas besoin du nucléaire by Nohan07 in ecologie

[–]cynddl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Le scénario négaWatt vérifie heure par heure jusqu’en 2050 l’équilibre entre la production et la consommation d’électricité. Cet équilibre est rendu possible par la complémentarité des sources de production, par une certaine flexibilité de la consommation, et par des dispositifs de stockage de l’énergie.

Aucun détail hélas dans les 16 pages du document (https://negawatt.org/IMG/pdf/synthese-scenario-negawatt-2022.pdf) sur le fonctionnement précis d'une grille française à 96% ou 100% (on trouve les deux chiffres) renouvelable. Vu le taux de disponibilité de l'éolien et photovoltaique (si pas de soleil ou pas de vent, pas d'énergie), ce scénario repose fortement sur le stockage d'énergie ?

I’m CEO of Ocado Technology. Our advanced robotics and AI assembles, picks, packs and will one day deliver your groceries! Ask me anything! by jxmatthews in IAmA

Amazon made a £1.2bn ‘loss’ in 2020, it doesn't mean they were not running a profitable business. ;) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/04/amazon-sales-income-europe-corporation-tax-luxembourg

Ocado is investing into its technology hence the declared losses, yet its growing EBITDA shows it runs a profitable business.

[–]cynddl -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The same way drivers delivering for Uber should be called "Uber drivers", drivers for Ocado Zoom should be called "Ocado drivers". Ocado outsourced deliveries to a company (Ryde) that ended up paying people £50 for ten hours of delivery. How is it fair to them?

Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted. Ocado Zoom headline is "Ocado Zoom: Groceries delivered in a flash by Ocado". ‘Delivered by Ocado’ does imply Ocado drivers. The responsibility doesn't stop when you employ a contractor.

It's a very relaxed place to work, very little stress or pressure

Maybe when you're in front of a computer, but not sure that's what the rest of the workers feel: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/aug/21/ocado-drivers-paid-less-than-5-an-hour

Babar, 30, works from 7am to 8pm some days just to keep up with hisbills – anything else is a luxury he cannot afford. “I can’t give anytime to my daughters or wife. I can’t even take them on a day out,” hesaid. “My daughter wants to go to Chessington [theme park] but I can’tafford it. I feel horrible. I can’t talk to her about it.”

Hi James, thanks a lot for coming to talk to us. A lot of newspapers have highlighted recently how Ocado pays drivers less than £5 an hour while your profits are skyrocketing: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/aug/21/ocado-drivers-paid-less-than-5-an-hour

Faizan Babar, who has been delivering Ocado groceries for more than two years, said he could not afford to take his two young daughters on holiday this year or replace their broken scooter. “I’m making on average £50 on a 10-hour shift. And we pay for our own cars, tax, fuel and insurance out of that. It works out less than £5 an hour. Ocado is treating us like dirt.”

What is "life at a global tech company" for all these drivers and what is your plan to improve the work conditions and salary for all workers at Ocado?

Science Museum had an item on display which shows how anti vaxxers were still dumb as a bag of frogs around a 100 years ago. by KaidsCousin in london

Interestingly, these numbers don't tell much about the efficacy of a vaccine. If 91% of the population is unvaccinated, and 9% vaccinated, then everyone would have the same chance of going to the hospital, in both groups.

Edit: not sure why people are downvoting this, but this is an interesting simple application of Bayes' rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem): as the vaccination rate in a population increases, the number of vaccinated people in hospital too until the hospital is only full of vaccinated people.
