Comment Recidivism rates (Score 2) 149

US: 66% (Wall Street's numbers aren't those found in official statistics)
UK: 28.9%
Holland: 23%
Norway: 16%
China: 6%

US' conclusion: The rate is a complete mystery, we've no idea how to decrease it, let's do more of what we're currently doing differently to everyone else.

There is a slight possibility this may be flawed.

Submission + - Cloudflare wants to kill the CAPTCHA and it has browser giants on board (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Cloudflare has announced a new initiative with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Shopify to develop a privacy-focused protocol called Private Access Control Tokens (PACT). The goal is to help websites distinguish legitimate users and authorized AI agents from abusive automated traffic without relying on CAPTCHAs, invasive tracking, or browser fingerprinting.

PACT would allow trusted services to issue anonymous tokens that browsers can present to other websites as proof that a human is involved, while avoiding the disclosure of personal identity information or browsing history. The companies plan to submit the protocol for standardization.

Cloudflare argues that existing anti-bot tools are becoming less effective as AI-powered agents become more common across the web.

It has seemed to me, for a very long time, that modern AI systems would need to be integrated with standard RDBMS systems for reliable persistant storage of raw information, some sort of no-sql database (memcache or some variant) for persistant storage of associations, some sort of document database for blocks of textual information, a SPARQL system for searching semantically-marked information within the document database, and a more old-fashioned back-propogation NN to provide a store of understanding that the user can directly manipulate.

Probabalistic classifiers are all fine and good, but only for a subset of the tasks needed. The above structure is a very loose, wildly-speculative initial framework. It's almost certain that if you actually tried building an integrated multi-model system, that you'd end up making a lot of changes to this basic idea, but that you'd end up having to implement the same core concepts that are identified in it.

From their careful selection of text, they WANTED it to mean something else so badly that they couldn't handle putting in the full text. It's a common blight on today's Internet, where people want other people's writings to mean something other than what was meant by the writer, so carefully select the words they read.

That's the entire point. Trying to solve other people's problems NEVER WORKS. You CANNOT control others into responsible behaviour, but you CAN place them in a position where they will choose to be responsible of their own accord. It is the ONLY way that works. It is the only way that has ever worked. If you look at computer programming, you will see this repeated over and over - well-meaning "hard rules" are ignored, STANDARDS are kept.

You must give them parameters and force them to find their own solution within those.
