Most people expected fireworks when it was announced that former President Donald Trump would appear at this year's National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago.And that's exactly what happened almost immediately after Trump walked onto the stage, as the former president complained about the tone of the first few questions that he was asked and accused Vice President Kamala Harris of downplaying her Indian heritage."I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black," the former president said of Harris."Is she Indian…

Ingest data from SQL Server, Salesforce, and Workday with LakeFlow Connect

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
We’re excited to announce the Public Preview of LakeFlow Connect for SQL Server, Salesforce, and Workday. These ingestion connectors enable simple and efficient ingestion from databases and enterprise apps—powered by incremental data processing and smart optimizations under the hood. LakeFlow Connect is also native to the Data Intelligence Platform, so it offers both serverless compute and Unity Catalog governance. Ultimately, this means organizations can spend less time moving their data and more time getting value from it.More broadly, this is a key step towards realizing the future of data engineering on Databricks with LakeFlow: the unified solution for ingestion, transformation…

Senators introduce bill to protect individuals against AI-generated deepfakes

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
Today, a group of senators introduced the , a law that would make it illegal to create digital recreations of a person's voice or likeness without that individual's consent. It's a bipartisan effort from Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), fully titled the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe Act of 2024.If it passes, the NO FAKES Act would create an option for people to seek damages when their voice, face or body are recreated by AI. Both individuals and companies would be held liable for producing, hosting or sharing…

Meta’s AI Says Trump Wasn’t Shot

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Facebook owner Meta had some very awkward questions to answer after its AI assistant denied that former president Donald Trump had been shot, even though he absolutely was indeed wounded by a gunman earlier this month — bizarre, conspiracy-laden claims that highlight the technology's glaring shortcomings, even with the resources of one of the world's most powerful tech companies behind it.It's especially striking, considering that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called Trump's immediate reaction to being shot "badass" and inspiring, contradicting his company's lying chatbot.In a blog post on Tuesday, Meta's global head of policy Joel Kaplan squarely placed the blame…

Supervised Learning based Method for Condition Monitoring of Overhead Line Insulators using Leakage Current Measurement

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.20288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As a new practical and economical solution to the aging problem of overhead line (OHL) assets, the technical policies of most power grid companies in the world experienced a gradual transition from scheduled preventive maintenance to a risk-based approach in asset management. Even though the accumulation of contamination is predictable within a certain degree, there are currently no effective ways to identify the risk of the insulator flashover in order to plan its replacement. This paper presents a novel machine learning (ML) based method for estimating the flashover probability of the cup-and-pin glass insulator string.…

GP-VLS: A general-purpose vision language model for surgery

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
[Submitted on 27 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled GP-VLS: A general-purpose vision language model for surgery, by Samuel Schmidgall and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Surgery requires comprehensive medical knowledge, visual assessment skills, and procedural expertise. While recent surgical AI models have focused on solving task-specific problems, there is a need for general-purpose systems that can understand surgical scenes and interact through natural language. This paper introduces GP-VLS, a general-purpose vision language model for surgery that integrates medical and surgical knowledge with visual scene understanding. For comprehensively evaluating general-purpose surgical models, we propose SurgiQual,…
