CrossFit Games suspended after competitor drowns during the swimming contest, CEO confirms

An athlete drowned while competing in a swimming event in Texas that was part of the 2024 CrossFit Games on Thursday.The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Lazar Đukić, a 28-year-old athlete from Serbia, WFAA reported.The incident happened during the first event of the games, called "Lake Day," which included a 3.5-mile run followed by an 800-meter, or half-mile, swim.Đukić went missing around 8 a.m. during the event's swimming portion. He appeared to be struggling, according to witness reports.Cole Learn, a competitor from Ontario, Canada, told WFAA that he saw the athlete doing small turns in the…

Enhancing Output Diversity Improves Conjugate Gradient-based Adversarial Attacks

Enhancing Output Diversity Improves Conjugate Gradient-based Adversarial Attacks

[Submitted on 7 Aug 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Enhancing Output Diversity Improves Conjugate Gradient-based Adversarial Attacks, by Keiichiro Yamamura and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, and adversarial attacks that generate adversarial examples have been studied in this context. Existing studies imply that increasing the diversity of model outputs contributes to improving the attack performance. This study focuses on the Auto Conjugate Gradient (ACG) attack, which is inspired by the conjugate gradient method and has a high diversification performance. We hypothesized that increasing the distance between two…

Taxonomy Driven Fast Adversarial Training

Taxonomy Driven Fast Adversarial Training

arXiv:2408.03944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial training (AT) is an effective defense method against gradient-based attacks to enhance the robustness of neural networks. Among them, single-step AT has emerged as a hotspot topic due to its simplicity and efficiency, requiring only one gradient propagation in generating adversarial examples. Nonetheless, the problem of catastrophic overfitting (CO) that causes training collapse remains poorly understood, and there exists a gap between the robust accuracy achieved through single- and multi-step AT. In this paper, we present a surprising finding that the taxonomy of adversarial examples reveals the truth of CO. Based on this conclusion,…

WalledEval: A Comprehensive Safety Evaluation Toolkit for Large Language Models

WalledEval: A Comprehensive Safety Evaluation Toolkit for Large Language Models

arXiv:2408.03837v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: WalledEval is a comprehensive AI safety testing toolkit designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs). It accommodates a diverse range of models, including both open-weight and API-based ones, and features over 35 safety benchmarks covering areas such as multilingual safety, exaggerated safety, and prompt injections. The framework supports both LLM and judge benchmarking, and incorporates custom mutators to test safety against various text-style mutations such as future tense and paraphrasing. Additionally, WalledEval introduces WalledGuard, a new, small and performant content moderation tool, and SGXSTest, a benchmark for assessing exaggerated safety in cultural contexts. We make…

Taylor Swift’s canceled concert: Officials found explosives, detonators, and a stockpile of chemicals in a 19-year-old’s home

Taylor Swift’s canceled concert: Officials found explosives, detonators, and a stockpile of chemicals in a 19-year-old’s home

Austrian officials said they arrested three male teenagers on Wednesday on suspicion of planning an attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, the threat of which prompted organizers to cancel three of the singer's shows.The main suspect, a 19-year-old Austrian citizen, was arrested in the town of Ternitz, about 30 miles from Vienna, said the head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner.Haijawi-Pirchner said at a news conference on Thursday that the suspect was planning a suicide attack with knives and explosives that would kill "as many people as possible" at the concert.Officials said they found…

China’s SMIC Accelerates Capacity Buildout as Chip War Evolves

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. is expediting its plans to build more capacity as a US-led multinational campaign is putting more restrictions on China’s access to advanced foreign technologies. “Some of our customers have won new opportunities due to geopolitics-induced changes in the supply chain,” SMIC Co-Chief Executive Officer Zhao Haijun told analysts during a post-earnings call on Friday. “We are growing capacity at a speed faster than originally planned.” Source link lol

Mark Zuckerberg said social media on phones can be ‘anti-social,’ which is part of why he cares about Ray-Ban smart glasses

The founder of the largest social media platform admits that social media, as most of us experience it — on a small, brightly lit phone — is actually quite "anti-social" and hopes that smart wearable tech will make it better.In an interview on Tuesday with South Park Commons, a San Francisco-based tech community, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the way users experience social media on a small screen is limiting, which is part of the reason he's pursuing the Ray-Ban smart glasses.Meta, of course, owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads — major social media platforms that are often accessed…
