☆ I rejected a job at Google — but then got laid off by Amazon. I don't regret my decisions.

AdvertisementFlood of supportIt was obviously disappointing and really shocking — I'd been excited about the Coinbase job. AdvertisementAlthough I had another offer on the table, I accepted the Amazon job. It felt like a safer choice because it was a Big Tech company — and I already knew the team. I was interested in entrepreneurship after having experienced big tech and trying out these jobs inspired me to start building my own venture. My immediate reaction for several months was disillusion with the with Big Tech, but now I feel positive about my experiences.

The United States Supreme Court building is seen as in Washington, U.S., October 4, 2023. The Supreme Court in 2019 forbade federal courts from intervening in cases involving gerrymandering done for partisan advantage. A group of Black voters sued to block the use of the reconfigured district. "What these plaintiffs in these cases are doing is basically bringing partisan gerrymandering claims and trying to dress them up as if they're racial gerrymandering claims," Torchinsky said. A HEAVY BURDENPlaintiffs in racial gerrymandering cases long have borne a heavy burden.

☆ TikTok's new Bold Glamour filter has gone viral for simulating 'mainstream beauty' but it's a reminder of how far AI has to go to integrate 'faces of color'
  + stars: | 2023-03-11 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
TikTok's new filter "Bold Glamour" has taken the platform by storm in recent weeks. Instead, she pulled out her phone to show me "Bold Glamour." Bold Glamour has appeared in millions of videos on TikTok because of how seamlessly it melds into certain users' faces. And on users with conventional, Eurocentric features, Bold Glamour looks like a wash of well-applied makeup. The argument that a filter like Bold Glamour can subtly distort a users' sense of reality, beauty, and very self is certainly valid.
☆ I’ve been following a woman around the internet. Turns out she was created by artificial intelligence.

Even in their first efforts, the GAN images were quickly on par with those made by any other, less intelligent software. You can find the results on the Generated Photos site, where you can filter by ethnicity, age, sex, eye color, and other attributes. Generated Photos' GANs tend to match conventional beauty standards, a product of the models that have been fed to the software. I'm not sure anyone would be surprised to find fake images accompanying testimonials on an Estonian bitcoin exchange or an online CBD seller. Are they real people deploying fake images, or fake people deploying fake images?
☆ That company's 'About Us' page may be full of fake pictures of 'people' who don't actually exist

Some companies are using AI technology to put fake "staff" on their "about us" pages. Ratliff spoke to Lukas, the man behind an Austrian test-prep company called takeIELTS, who confirmed he had used several fake images on its "about us" page. Ratliff said when he checked in on takeIELTS months later, Lukas had removed all the fake images and changed the company's name. The website of another company, Informa Systems, which sold law enforcement training materials to the City of Austin Police Department, was covered with fake images. Ratliff said there are now companies developing software aimed at detecting fake images on company websites and elsewhere on the internet.
☆ Air France, Airbus face angry families in AF447 crash trial

But France's BEA accident agency also revealed earlier discussions between Air France and Airbus about growing problems with external "pitot probes" that generate the speed readings. We don't want Airbus or Air France to turn this trial into a conference of engineers," said lawyer Sebastien Busy. It is the first time French companies have gone on trial for "involuntary manslaughter" following an air crash. It's their reputations... that's what's at stake for (Air France and Airbus)," said families lawyer Alain Jakubowicz. Rigail expressed "the deepest compassion" after telling the court Air France would never forget its worst-ever accident.
☆ Диетологи назвали полезные и вкусные альтернативы утреннему кофе
  + stars: | 2021-05-19 | by ( Super User | ) mybusiness.md   time to read: +1 min
Диетологи назвали напитки, которые способны заменить утренний кофе. Ганс предлагает заменить традиционный утренний напиток японским чаем матча или любым другим зеленым чаем. В отличие от кофе, чай не вызывает нервозности и бессонницы, так как содержит теанин, нейтрализующий негативные эффекты кофеина. Такой напиток поможет побороть тягу к кофе, так как готовится из лечебных грибов и по вкусу мало отличается от настоящего кофе, но содержит минимум кофеина. Раньше учёные назвали целебные напитки долгожителей - от Тибета до Кавказа.

☆ Диетологи назвали полезные для мужчин продукты питания
  + stars: | 2021-04-21 | by ( Super User | ) mybusiness.md   time to read: +2 min
Американские диетологи назвали продукты питания, которые особенно полезны для мужчин. Диетолог Эми Шапиро (Amy Shapiro) советует мужчинам есть продукты, богатые ликопином, например, помидоры. По ее словам, этот антиоксидант помогает предотвратить рак предстательной железы — заболевание, которое грозит одному из девяти мужчин. По утверждению диетолога Кристи Бриссетт (Christy Brissette), рак предстательной железы чаще грозит людям с ожирением. Диетологи Лиззи Лакатос (Lyssie Lakatos) и Тэмми Лакатос-Шеймз (Tammy Lakatos Shames) рекомендуют мужчинам чаще употреблять сардины вместо более вредных бифштексов и бекона.
