It is stated that they use the same annotators that trained/filtered chatGPT’s output. I would assume its a rather large group (my company has 10 auditors in Nicaragua). The label biases are mostly stemming from that group and - as suggested - could be removed by using experts in each field to annotate the labels. But given some responses here by experts, I am sure those expert labels would have their very own biases :p
The paper is not of highest quality indicated by typos and mislabels but the analysis is likely as good as it can get for the given methodology. Dismissing any signal is just pure hubris.
Am I the only one thinking this no-checkout comes at a huge cost of extreme surveillance? This is creepy as fuck. I would never want it in a store, no matter how much time I save. The self checkout machines at CVS make checkout already x-times faster. This would only be a small gain a price I am not willing to pay. Also there is some satisfaction in paying for things/checking out.
first AMD with Ryzen and now FF. Working with nightly in the past few days and don't miss a thing. Of course not all plugins are ported yet, but ublock works already. keep up the phenomal work.
Totally agree. Just look at the mess with mobile OS. It is nearly impossible to develop a native app yourself without excluding half of the world population. In my opinion, native mobile apps have been always an intermediary and I wouldn't mind seeing all of them going away if some better web app alternative comes along.

As primarily a user of mobile apps I would mind. A web app experience is at the mercy of the network I happen to be connected to. In addition, as a user, the "build once, run anywhere" feature of web apps is a disadvantage since it often means that apps are written with the lowest common denominator in mind and don't quite blend in with the look and feel of either major mobile OS.

That's one of many things that web apps have been fixing. It's entirely possible to write an offline-capable web app.

They do, however, look like web apps everywhere, and if you primarily use web apps, you'll feel right at home.
> It's entirely possible to write an offline-capable web app.
Yeah. It is entirely possible to make web app do a lot of things. Even do them cross-platform. Even to get almost native feel.
But when you are done doing it you understand, that going native even on each platform would be faster and cheaper.
And thus the reasons to keep trying to improve those stories. Offline is import for applications. Many web applications make perfect sense to also work offline, and if that can be done easily, then what's the argument? I'd agree that looking like a native app by matching look and feel is probably not a great plan, but I also just fundamentally don't understand the attitude of saying that the web should be relegated to blogs/news/wikipedia style pages and leave everything else to native app silos.
Except the complaint about inconsistencies in native UI toolkits to argue in favor of web apps makes no sense, since by definition web apps have no singular look and feel whatsoever beyond the basic semantics of hypertext and browser navigation -- assuming the app doesn't break them. (and then WIMP has its own mostly consistent semantics too)
As founder of openrev.org, a platform to share and discuss research papers openly (or privately), I am very pleased with this announcement. It is more than just baby steps towards an open, scientific communication system.
In physics we do already have that with the arxiv.org (though there are no public discussions) but it works darn well in my sub-field and others. We cannot wait for most other disciplines to have an epiphany. So grant agencies forcing publishers AND authors to open access their material will bring us a huge step forward towards solving the most challenging problems of our time.
