This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, , , ,
Hagenah⁩ says an attacker could get a huge amount of information about their target, including insights into their emails, personal conversations, and any sensitive information that’s captured by Recall.Hagenah’s work builds on findings from cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont, who has detailed how much information Recall captures and how easy it can be to extract it. Beaumont also says he has built a website where a Recall database can be uploaded and instantly searched. He says he hasn’t released the site yet, to allow Microsoft time to potentially change the system. “InfoStealer trojans, which automatically steal usernames and passwords, are a…

Fusion Startup Xcimer Lands $100M, Boosting Sector’s Lackluster Funding

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Just four days ago, we published a story about how fusion funding had fizzled out in recent quarters, particularly for mega-sized rounds. At the time, I noted that a single big round or two could quickly cause this narrative to change. But I hadn’t anticipated it would happen so quickly. Turns out, it did. This morning, Denver-based Xcimer Energy announced it raised $100 million in a Series A financing led by Hedosophia and joined by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Prelude Ventures, Emerson Collective, Gigascale Capital and Starlight Ventures. The company is working on what it describes as a  transformative technology…

Sharing predicted crypto prices with URIs | Deephaven

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Last week, Deephaven announced its URI package. A URI is a sequence of characters that identifies a resource on the web. Think of a URI as a generalization of a URL. A Deephaven URI identifies a table. By linking to a URI, you share your results with others without them needing to replicate your setup or know the details of your queries.When you share a URI, it shares your table without sharing any of the work.It takes one import and one line of code to resolve a URI:from deephaven.uri import resolveshared_table = resolve(f"dh+plain://{your_host}:{your_port}/scope/{your_table})This is the sixth and final blog in…

Google Cut Back AI Overviews in Search Even Before Its ‘Pizza Glue’ Fiasco

stp2y0 CommentsAI, , , , ,
As anyone who so much as glanced at the internet in the past few weeks probably noticed, Google’s sweeping AI upgrade to its search engine had a rocky start. Within days of the company launching AI-generated answers to search queries called AI Overviews, the feature was widely mocked for producing wrong and sometimes bonkers answers, like recommendations to eat rocks or make pizza with glue.New data from search engine optimization firm BrightEdge suggests that Google has significantly reduced how often it is showing people AI Overviews since the feature launched, and had in fact already substantially curbed the feature prior…

Fairness in Autonomous Driving: Towards Understanding Confounding Factors in Object Detection under Challenging Weather

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
[Submitted on 31 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Fairness in Autonomous Driving: Towards Understanding Confounding Factors in Object Detection under Challenging Weather, by Bimsara Pathiraja and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is rapidly expanding to numerous cities. At the heart of AVs, the object detection module assumes a paramount role, directly influencing all downstream decision-making tasks by considering the presence of nearby pedestrians, vehicles, and more. Despite high accuracy of pedestrians detected on held-out datasets, the potential presence of algorithmic bias in such object detectors, particularly in challenging…
