    Not these ones. They’re automatically generated so the computer that creates them will already know what the string is meant to be. You don’t need human annotations to use these kinds of capcha as training data.

    This is just a road block. They’re designed to inconvenience spammers so you get less spam to delete.

    It’s worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.

    All of the serious journals are free to publish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.

    We’re still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that’s every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.






  • It’s a consequence of parliamentary sovereignty.

    Parliament can always dissolve itself and call an election, and it’s an important mechanism for getting rid of the government.

    The problem is that the prime minister also has a majority in parliament, and that means he can make parliament dissolve itself when he likes.

    This was actually a problem for Johnson. Initially, he didn’t have enough of a majority and it wasn’t clear he could call an election without Corbyn’s support.
