Loved your blog post! We had an intern this summer working on his PhD that included experimenting with AI to write formal verification. You might be already in touch with people that are working on this sort of thing, but let me know if you’d like his LinkedIn so you can push him to write on this :)

finished Careless People in about 3 days. my main takeaway is that when companies become powerful enough, they become mini-governments who can do whatever they want. we don’t have a modern concept of a country without borders invading other countries, and seem to need one.

moss caked in dew from this morning. the appendages you see sticking out is its reproductive structures extending into the region of air away from the moss where the air current is much stronger in order to disperse spores.

my favorite thing I’ve learned about sleep is that “sleeping on it” is not just taking time away — your brain actively processes problems, and works through the backlog of compute while you sleep

going to go out on a limb and say that my espresso machine is not a fan of formal methods as it picked today to give up on life, and force me to get coffee elsewhere for the 8a start of class

saw a board asking for community input on a development, and it was fascinating to me that someone’s feedback was that there aren’t enough parking spots planned for the units. city planners have been fighting cities for years to not require parking, esp for lower income development like apartments

it’s interesting to me that with every generation, they’re ascribed attributes that are seen as avoidable and shameful personality flaws as opposed to a natural behavior of humans when given a specific set of stimuli at given developmental marks

I realized I never did an introduction when I arrived here a couple weeks ago... I'm Kelly Brenner, a naturalist, artist, photographer and author of two nonfiction books. My first book was a finalist for two awards. I'm also working on a novel series and doing research for my next book proposal.

a pair of hands emerge from the wetlands on this day. If its a thumbs up, they will retreat to the water and spring will go on for six more weeks; if its a thumbs down, summer will arrive early. Protect the wetlands to protect tradition

i think it can to an extent, but it’s going to be extremely resource intensive ($$) and not be very accurate, especially (like you’re saying) with subjects obscured by other objects, etc. other captcha methods use cool methods like tracking how your mouse moves across the screen.

Lanie @lanie.bsky.social · 21/05/2023
are you familiar with image-based recaptcha? it works because AI is still pretty bad at recognizing images. a classic example is if you ask a person if an object is a chair, it’s easy. if you ask AI, it’s difficult because it struggles context. this was a good article i read

What is a chair? — part I. Why AI is far removed from real “understanding”
Let me ask you a rather mundane question. What is a chair?
