121·1 month agoit turns out if you are all able to stop work at once (and discourage scabs from crossing your picket line) you have power, whether or not you’re an employee on paper.
You can assign each rational number a single unique integer though if you use a simple algorithm. So the 1:1 correspondence holds up (though both are still infinite)
For every integer, there are an infinite number of real numbers until the next integer. So you can’t make a 1:1 correspondence. They’re both infinite, but this shows that the reals are more infinite. (and yeah, as other people mentioned, it’s the 1:1 correspondence, countability, that matters more than the infinite quantity of the Real numbers)

13·2 months agoI think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.
This method is definitely a great way to achieve some degree of explainability for images, but it is based on the assumption that nearby pixels will have correllated meanings. When AI is making connections between far-away features, or worse, in a feature space that cannot be readily visualized like images can, it can be very hard to decouple the nonlinear outputs into singular linear features. While AI explainability has come a long way in the last few years, the decision-making processes of AI are so different from human thought that even when it can “show its work” by showing which neurons contributed to the final result, it doesn’t necessarily make any intuitive sense to us.
For example, an image-identification AI might identify subtle lens blur data to determine the brand of camera that took a photograph, and then use that data to make an educated guess about which country the image was taken in. It’s a valid path of reasoning. But it would take a lot of effort for a human analyst to notice that the AI is using this process to slightly improve its chances of getting the image identification correct, and there are millions of such derived features that combine in unexpected ways, some logical and some irrationally overfitting to the training data.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is palantir in lord of the rings / tolken, and what does that fortell about the dystopian company palantir?English
38·4 months agoThe concept is used by Palantir the corporation to refer to the fact that they are placing the world under malevolent surveillance. And they’re clearly proud of that malevolence. Yucky.

1471·6 months agoBut it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It’s a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn’t ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.
