The E in EBC is basically as relevant as the E in European Article Number (EAN) which are used globally.

I suspect Tunisia is one of those countries that desperately tries to appear tough to their population. It’s a national embarrassment to have a foreign nation attack vessels in your water without you noticing.

That doesn’t prevent someone ordering “everything” at max quantity, which is almost certainly a “malicious” order.

The idea of anomaly detection is to project some input onto a (high dimensional), numeric output. From the training data alone, you can then see where the projections are clustered and develop a high dimensional “boundary” where everything within is known and good and everything outside is unknown and possibly bad. Since orders come in relatively slow, a human would be able to check for false positives and overwrite the computer decision.

By the way, an ideal training set is preprocessed and has duplicates removed and new orders added by recombining parts of individual orders.

For example, if we have 3 orders:

• (Hamburger, Fries)
• (Hamburger, Fries)
• (Cheeseburger, Sandwich)

We could then create the following set:

• (Hamburger)
• (Cheeseburger)
• (Fries)
• (Sandwich)
• (Hamburger, Fries)
• (Hamburger, Cheeseburger)
• (Hamburger, Sandwich)

And so on, and so forth. A naive variant is just taking the power set of all valid orders.

There are machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection though. They actually work decently well because exploits like this do in fact differ significantly from regular orders. Because they assume all anomalies are attempted exploits, their false negative rate is rather low while their false positive rate can be a bit higher.

Taco Bell has the capability to create a decently large training set from all recorded orders (which must all be valid and non-malicious) so they shouldn’t have too many issues developing this model.

If an anomaly is detected, make a human verify it is indeed an irregular order.

The pizza delivery person will invite themselves in and you will eat the pizza together.

In the EU platforms can be found guilty for what they publish though. It is the platform’s responsibility and duty to check whether their content is violating the law or not.

If a German newspaper were to publish an ad advocating for the murder of an ethnic group, both the creator of the ad and the newspaper would face charges.

I can’t say much more about the rest but there are certainly legal standards for boxing that need to be abided for a boxing event to be legal. This includes having medical staff on site, a referee which manages the match, gloves being mandated for the boxers etc. If these standards aren’t held, you can charge a boxer for participating in an illegal fight and manslaughter should the other boxer die.

I mean, intent is very often a major defining factor whether something is illegal or not.

The difference between murder and manslaughter often hinges on whether there was intent.

And for something as stupid as loitering intent is the sole deciding factor for guilt.

The incident occurred in Kano state, one of 14 majority-Muslim states in northern Nigeria subject to Sharia law.

In northern states governed by Sharia law, homosexuality is punishable by death.

Damn I thought those Americans were exporting evangelical Christianity, not Sharia law. TIL.

Water?

From the article:

In some places, the main criticism that residents have about data centers has to do with the amount of water they consume to cool servers. This isn’t the case in Marseille, however, which is well-supplied with this resource.

The “drying up” in the headline refers to electricity consumption.

No, he has owned a private jet for many years prior to becoming chancellor.

Yeah, it’s the same unit just offset by a factor of ten:
% = 10 * ‰

Like floquant said, many European countries use per mille (which is denoted by ‰). It’s easy to convert those two but you first have to realize the need for conversion if you don’t read carefully (since the symbols % and ‰ look similar at first glance).

If this were actually done to children/teens surely their brains would not form any associations between being restrained and horny, right?

For those confused: Americans use percentage for blood alcohol concentration.

That’s 0.91‰ and 0.8‰ respectively.

No, she is a CIA agent since she left Hong Kong and only CIA agents would ever leave China.

Those numbers seem… all somewhat tiny?

Like, the smallest dedicated news channel in Germany has 2.4 million daily viewers for comparison. Germany does have 80 million citizens instead of 68 million like the UK but that can’t be the reason.

It may be intentional.

A strong currency is good for imports but awful for exports.

A weaker currency is awful for imports and good for exports which Trump('s economic advisors) want.

China in particular is actively keeping its currency weak to ensure continuous exports. There’s a reason it is at its weakest point since 2007 compared to USD and EUR:

USD - haven’t found a decent official source

AI was never more than algorithms which could be argued to have some semblance of intelligence somewhere. It’s sole purpose was marketing by scientists to get funding.

Since the 60s everything related to neural networks is classified as AI. LLMs are neural networks, therefore they fall under the same label.

Duckduckgo uses Bing which has deindexed a couple of sites.

I have found the emulation wiki to no longer show up through DDG. It’s the first result on Google but DDG gives you just Fandom garbage.
