A DOJ-approved monitor begins policing how Pornhub screens for illegal videos, including potential sexual abuse

The firm will review how Aylo responds to takedown requests and screens for illegal content — including child-sexual-abuse images and non-consensual videos of sexual assault and trafficking — on its flagship website Pornhub and such sister sites as YouPorn and RedTube.The monitorship is part of a deferred prosecution agreement between Aylo and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, who charged the company with money laundering in December.As part of that agreement, Aylo — formerly MindGeek— admitted profiting from videos produced by the sex trafficking ring Girls Do Porn. In addition to agreeing to independent monitoring, Aylo officials paid a $1.8 million fine…

EfficientRAG: Efficient Retriever for Multi-Hop Question Answering

EfficientRAG: Efficient Retriever for Multi-Hop Question Answering

arXiv:2408.04259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods encounter difficulties when addressing complex questions like multi-hop queries. While iterative retrieval methods improve performance by gathering additional information, current approaches often rely on multiple calls of large language models (LLMs). In this paper, we introduce EfficientRAG, an efficient retriever for multi-hop question answering. EfficientRAG iteratively generates new queries without the need for LLM calls at each iteration and filters out irrelevant information. Experimental results demonstrate that EfficientRAG surpasses existing RAG methods on three open-domain multi-hop question-answering datasets. Source link lol

8 million student-loan borrowers on Biden’s new repayment plan just got more bad news after a federal court officially blocked cheaper payments and debt cancellation

8 million student-loan borrowers on Biden’s new repayment plan just got more bad news after a federal court officially blocked cheaper payments and debt cancellation

On Friday, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals placed a preliminary injunction on President Joe Biden's SAVE income-driven repayment plan, intended to lower monthly payments and shorten the timeline for relief for the 8 million borrowers enrolled.If this sounds familiar, that's because it is: on July 18, the 8th Circuit placed a temporary stay on the plan in response to a lawsuit led by Missouri's attorney general to block the plan from being implemented. This latest ruling replaces that stay, and it likely means that enrolled borrowers will be in limbo for longer as the legal process is carried out."Among…

ASUS ROG Ally X review: A fully armed and operational handheld battle station

ASUS ROG Ally X review: A fully armed and operational handheld battle station

Despite being one of the first gaming handhelds from a major PC maker, ASUS got a lot right with the original ROG Ally. It offers better performance in a smaller chassis than Valve’s Steam Deck, but without a huge increase in price. And because it’s based on Windows instead of Linux, it delivers almost universal game compatibility. That said, issues like weak battery life and faulty SD card slots left plenty of room for improvement. So on the new Ally X, ASUS tweaked almost everything aside from its chip and display. But this time, what we’re getting is the fully…

Explicating the Implicit: Argument Detection Beyond Sentence Boundaries

Explicating the Implicit: Argument Detection Beyond Sentence Boundaries

arXiv:2408.04246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting semantic arguments of a predicate word has been conventionally modeled as a sentence-level task. The typical reader, however, perfectly interprets predicate-argument relations in a much wider context than just the sentence where the predicate was evoked. In this work, we reformulate the problem of argument detection through textual entailment to capture semantic relations across sentence boundaries. We propose a method that tests whether some semantic relation can be inferred from a full passage by first encoding it into a simple and standalone proposition and then testing for entailment against the passage. Our method does…

Creating a Calculator app using React/Next

Creating a Calculator app using React/Next

In this post, we will build a simple React app using Next.js. Nothing complicated, just a simple calculator app that will demonstrate a number of features of React. Note that the full source code can be found at the link given at the end of this post. The calculator will start off simple, just add, subtract, multiply and divide. Maybe we will add something later. We'll start by getting the environment setup. For Next, you need to have node version 18 or later. I am using 20.10. Next.js will setup the default project structure for you. This is recommended, so…
