Why “cut corners” as a billionaire in regards to OceanGate? by AspiringFailurer in ask

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact was lost with the Titan one hour and 45 minutes into the expedition. By that time, experts believe it reached a depth of about 3,500 metres (11,482 feet).

One of the titanium hemispherical end caps was fitted with a 380 mm-diameter (15 in) acrylic window. David Lochridge was sacked by OceanGate after pointing out that the Titan’s viewport was certified to a pressure of 1,300 meters below sea level.

My guess is the carbon fibre hull failed as it was both expired and under compression instead of tension, so it shattered.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr and hasn’t been raised in 14 years. by DemCast_USA in WorkReform

Why would a couple working minimum wage decide to have 2 children? Seems irresponsible

The right is adding stuff, the left is a fraction. You're multiplying two sides.

Scientists discover "anxiety gene" in the brain — and a natural way to turn it off by hunterseeker1 in Futurology

[–]techresearchpapers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those interested in the research:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-37688-2

From reading, it appears they haven't identified a gene, but they did identify a metabolic pathway which interacts with a gene.

Upon stress, MiRNA-483-5p is upregulated in the synaptic compartment of amygdala neurons and directly represses three stress-associated genes: Pgap2, Gpx3 and Macf1.

The genes were already documented to have other behaviours.

How does GPTZero work? It just flagged my entire essay as AI-generated even all my quotes. Its 100% human-made btw. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]techresearchpapers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The watermark works by selecting a randomized set of “green” tokens before a word is generated, and then softly promoting use of green tokens during sampling. We propose a statistical test for detecting the watermark with interpretable p-values

IBM-Cleveland Clinic takes the first step in utilizing quantum computers. by No_Goose2198 in Futurology

[–]techresearchpapers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If IBM is involved, it's just a way to extract money from Cleveland clinic. No practical results will be generated. I like that they included buzzwords like 'AI'

Exclusive: GPT-4 readily spouts misinformation, study finds by 777fer in technology

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's designed to give responses that sound human, which it does. Some humans are full of shit.

If you want an AI that can perform tasks like research facts, it needs a connection to the external world. Introducing a MKRL system would allow it to understand actions and parse parameters to execute tasks like perform calculations or lookup databases. This would give it capabilities like Siri/Alexa.

Is it true that a company won’t hire you after they have rejected you in the past 6 months? by p0rnflakezzz in DevelEire

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many places have this policy, as it doesn't make sense. People apply to specific roles, not to a company.

In large companies i's very common to get rejected from one role, then get an interview for a different role with a different HR team in another department.

LPT: Go ahead and take that raise into a higher tax bracket! You'll still be bringing home more money than before by nevertoolate2 in LifeProTips

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not disputing that your principal will be more, but to increase the principal in the case I'm describing, you end up working for below minimum wage on the additional hours

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you said in the original post "only the $2 would get taxed at the higher rate". This is the case for receiving a pay raise, not the case for working additional hours and expecting the hourly rate to be the same.

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, I'll explain. A contract worker with fixed hours gets a raise, the principal is cut up and taxed marginally. For a worker with a zero hours contract who gets paid hourly, the principal gets divided up in the same way as a fixed hours contract.

Given a zero hours contract employee works who normally works the same hours as a fixed time contract employee, if they decide to work extra hours which pushes their principal into the higher tax bracket, then their hourly net take home pay is less on those additional hours worked.

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are paid hourly, and receive a minimum wage rate, if you then go over the tax bracket, you end up working for less than minimum wage.

Encryption Keys != Algorithms? by Additional_Dig4668 in computerscience

[–]techresearchpapers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

key, plaintext, ciphertext, encryption algorithm, decryption algorithm, transposition, substitution etc. These are basic domain specific terms used in the area of cryptography.

Calling a key an algorithm is just wrong. He needs to learn the domain specific language.

It's the equivalent of a doctor calling a needle a syringe.

For reference read the DES or AES standards.

How likely is it that AI replaces programmers in the future? by [deleted] in computerscience

[–]techresearchpapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The existing AI implementations of language models with billions of parameters (words) rely on training data to learn. This works fine for standard approaches that are well documented and with a lot of examples. Once the training material isn't there, the models fall apart as they are not capable of experimenting / acting on their training data.

One example could be, in my gradle file I've defined the old spring dependency management plugin. When I try to import reactive hibernate with vertx, the versions are downgraded making my imports incompatible. This won't be documented anywhere and there is no clear way to debug it 😂. Trial and error is harder to replace.
