AOC played video game with Walz as constituents protested against prostitution in her 'Third World' district
More than two dozen prostitutes line a Queens New York City street soliciting sex. At the exact time Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was live-streaming her "Madden" NFL video game session with vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, on Twitch, her constituents were taking to the streets to protest rampant illegal prostitution and crime in the neighborhood she represents. The progressive "Squad" member was slammed by fellow Democrat politician Hiram Monserrate for playing the video game on the streaming service Sunday afternoon while residents from her district held a rally calling for their community to be cleaned up. "We need advocates not gamers," Monserrate, a former New York state senator who is running for State Assembly, told Fox News Digital. The Queens neighborhood is well known as a "Red Light" district, with some residents comparing the unsanitary and seedy conditions to a "Third World" country.
Stadiums Are Embracing Face Recognition. Privacy Advocates Say They Should Stick to Sports
Thousands of people lined up outside Citi Field in Queens, New York on Wednesday to watch the Mets face off with the Orioles. But outside the ticketing booth, a handful of protesters handed out flyers. They were there to protest a recent Major League Baseball program, and one that's increasingly common in professional sports: using facial recognition on fans. Facial recognition companies and their customers argue that these systems save time, and therefore money, by shortening lines at stadium entrances. However, skeptics argue that the surveillance tools are never totally secure, make it easier for police to get information about fans, and fuel "mission creep" where surveillance technology becomes more common, or even required.
Statistical Mechanics and Artificial Neural Networks: Principles, Models, and Applications
Bรถttcher, Lucas, Wheeler, Gregory
The field of neuroscience and the development of artificial neural networks (ANNs) have mutually influenced each other, drawing from and contributing to many concepts initially developed in statistical mechanics. Notably, Hopfield networks and Boltzmann machines are versions of the Ising model, a model extensively studied in statistical mechanics for over a century. In the first part of this chapter, we provide an overview of the principles, models, and applications of ANNs, highlighting their connections to statistical mechanics and statistical learning theory. Artificial neural networks can be seen as high-dimensional mathematical functions, and understanding the geometric properties of their loss landscapes (i.e., the high-dimensional space on which one wishes to find extrema or saddles) can provide valuable insights into their optimization behavior, generalization abilities, and overall performance. Visualizing these functions can help us design better optimization methods and improve their generalization abilities. Thus, the second part of this chapter focuses on quantifying geometric properties and visualizing loss functions associated with deep ANNs.
