The original One World Trade Center (also known as the North Tower, Tower 1, Building One, or 1 WTC) was one of the Twin Towers of the original World Trade Center in New York City. It was completed in 1972, stood at a height of 417 metres (1,368 ft), and was the tallest building in the world until 1973, when surpassed by the Sears Tower in Chicago.

It was distinguishable from its twin, the original Two World Trade Center, also known as the South Tower, by the 110.3-metre (362 ft) telecommunications antenna on its roof. Including the antenna, the building stood at a total height of 1,728 feet (527 m). Other things that made the North Tower distinguishable from its twin was that there was a canopy connected to the North Tower's west facade on street level and there was two small pedestrian walkways that extended from the west and south promenades of Three and Six World Trade Center to the North Tower's north and south facades on plaza level, while the South Tower lacked any of those. The building's address was One World Trade Center, and the WTC complex had its own ZIP code (10048) due to its large size.

Sir Khachik Paul Chater, Father of Hong Kong

• 09.08.2021, 13:03
•  World,  Armenia,  Diaspora,  No-politics

The most famous Armenian of all times who lived in China was Khachik Pogose Astwachatoor, known as Paul Chater. Ha worked as Senior Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, was a member of the Governor’s executive and legislative councils, owner of many companies, as well Hong Kong General Governor first adviser for 40 years.

Khachik Astvatsaryan was born in Calcutta (India), on September 8, 1846,  into a large family of Armenian traders, in which there were 14 children. He was baptized in the Armenian church of Holy Nazareth. His father was a member of the Indian civil service, and his mother was a house wife busy with upbringing the 14 children. Life seemed to flow but at the age of seven Khachik lost his father, and 2 years after that his mother.  

The children were taken to orphanage. Paul gained entry into the La Martiniere College in Calcutta on a scholarship. At the age of 18 he moved to Hong Kong to earn money and bring his brothers and sisters together again. 

In the early days in Hong Kong, he was an assistant at the Bank of Hindustan, China and Japan. Later, with the aid of the Jewish Sassoon family, he set up business as an exchange broker, resigned from the bank, and traded gold bullion and land on his own account.

Due to his diligence, exceptional business skills Paul soon became very rich. An owner of major banks, land, fleet, he soon became one of the richest and most influential figures in Asia and Hong Kong. Due to him Hong Kong nowadays has its unique place in the world economy.

In 1886, he helped Patrick Manson establish the first Dairy Farm in Hong Kong (nowadays known as ”Dairy Farm International Holdings”). The same year he entered the Legislative Council. Through his connections he  acquired an old graveyard in Wan Chai, where he built one of the earliest power stations in the world in 1890. He supported the construction of Hong Kong university, many schools, hospitals, blocks of flats, as well as the Hong Kong Fleet.

In 1889, he established Hongkong Land with James Johnstone Keswick. Hong Kong Land commenced the land reclamation project under the Praya Reclamation Scheme, under which the sea shore was made into land at Victoria city and more than one thousand houses were built for thousands of people.  

In 1897 he was awarded Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George by the British government and in 1902 he was knighted and called Sir Paul Chater.  

“This young Armenian from Calcutta filled all of Hong Kong. He is everywhere, nothing is done without his knowledge and participation. He is the father of Hong Kong,” historical documents read.

Chater was enthusiastic in two sports: He played for the Hong Kong Cricket Club 1st XI, and was a thoroughbred horse racing enthusiast. He reportedly never missed the weekly races at the Happy Valley Racecourse in 60 years. In 1872 he set up the Chater Stable in Hong Kong that won many races at Happy Valley. In 1955 The Hong Kong Champions & Chater Cup, the Group One third leg of the Hong Kong Triple Crown, was named in his honour.

Chater was a major philanthropist to world wide Armenians. Throughout his life he donated huge amounts of money to Hong Kong, Calcutta, London, Paris and Beijing Armenian social, religious and educational causes. He also supported the Armenian churches in India, orphans with Armenia descent, built a home for the Armenian elderly in Calcutta, named The Sir Catchick Paul Chater Home. To help the Armenian Genocide survivors he founded “Armenian migrants’ charity foundation” in Britain.

Paul Chater Chater died in 1926 and was interred in the Hong Kong cemetery. Because of not having children a part of his estate went to the Armenian Church of the Holy Nazareth in Calcutta and other churches in south-east Asia, the remaining part went to the college where he studied.  As a response the college made a decision to accompany the morning hymn with such lines, “We are grateful to our benefactor, honorable Paul Chater,” recited in front of Chater’s picture. The Armenian church in Calcutta named the auxiliary building at the church after “Sir Paul Chater”.

Nowadays there are a number of buildings, streets, parks, metro stations after Chater’s name in Hong Kong.

What does GPT-3 “know” about me? 

Large language models are trained on troves of personal data hoovered from the internet. So I wanted to know: What does it have on me?

 Quotes from the above article: "... OpenAI has provided limited access to its famous large language model, GPT-3, and Meta lets people play around with its model OPT-175B though a publicly available chatbot called BlenderBot 3.  ..."

AND

"...

Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s GPT-3, Google’s LaMDA, and Meta’s OPT-175B, are red hot in AI research, and they are becoming an increasingly integral part of the internet’s plumbing. LLMs are being used to power chatbots that help with customer service, to create more powerful online search, and to help software developers write code. 

If you’ve posted anything even remotely personal in English on the internet, chances are your data might be part of some of the world’s most popular LLMs. ..."

And

"... It’s not just personal data. The data sets are likely to include data that is copyrighted, such as source code and books, Tramèr says. Some models have been trained on data from GitHub, a website where software developers keep track of their work.  ..."

AND

" .... Google uses human raters to rate personally identifiable information as unsafe, which helps train the company’s LLM LaMDA to avoid regurgitating it, says Tulsee Doshi, head of product for responsible AI at Google. ... "

Inside a radical new project to democratize AI

A group of over 1,000 AI researchers has created a multilingual large language model bigger than GPT-3—and they’re giving it out for free.

Apple delays plan to scan iPhones for child abuse images

The company announces that the controversial CSAM feature, which scans your Apple devices for images and messages, will be delayed for a few more months. ===========================

Apple Reportedly Working on Problematic iOS Tool to Scan for Child Abuse Photos on iPhones

By

Victoria Song

NEW - Apple plans to continuously scan the iPhones of U.S. users for child abuse imagery. The system dubbed "neuralMatch" would alert human reviewers if it believes "illegal imagery" is detected (FT)

Here is some of the comments to the above post:

NEW - Billionaire George Soros is funding an initiative to "dismantle" and replace the Minneapolis Police Department, campaign finance records show (Fox)

Security researchers warn: Once such a system is implemented the artificial intelligence could be trained to detect any kind of unwanted content.

Guarantee this will have a high error rate and end up getting a bunch of people investigated for having normal pictures of their own kids on their phone

Beat me to it. My wife and I send funny pictures of our kids back and forth, at times the kids might be taking a bath or something. This is going to get very strange.

They found a way to search everyone’s phone. Just like YouTube’s policy change in 2017. Told it was to combat ISIS videos, really used to ban Alex jones and the like.

They will scan your whole phone and will be able to repurpose it to detect "offensive" memes/texts or anything that criticizes the government.

All security is gone now. They’ll have passwords, access to bank accounts, crypto, data, protect your privacy before it’s too late. $JUP #Metis

This is past the line. What if me takes photo of my kids injury and sends to spouse or family, this stupid software going to flag as abuse? What about photos of my kids in tub as infants? They going to flag that and label child porn? This shit is way to invasive.

We’re only looking for terrorism says the NSA. We’re only looking for CP says Apple. ETC. Privacy be damned

Solution... don't buy an Apple device.

In the not too distant future it will be illegal to NOT carry a smart phone

Which means they’re looking at every photo and video stored on your phone.

How many people do they think have child abuse imagery on their phones? So we all have to give up our privacy for what’s surely less than 1% of 1% of iPhone users? And since they announced this obviously they’ll just use different phones. Stupid

Definitely just a ploy to get away with spying on us

In simple words- apple will be snooping on your private data

That will be the end of IPhones. I’m not having Apple go through my family album

Sounds good on the service but this raises so many questions about how private Apple really are

What is the data set for this? For now it's only if you have iCloud backup. They said it can be used to gather your political affiliation also! https://gizmodo.com/apple-reportedly-working-on-problematic-ios-tool-to-sca-1847427745/amp…

This should be illegal, Apple shouldn't be going through your data at all without your consent. Worse than the NSA who at least pretends they need a warrant.

think about the error rate. So if you are falsely accused they will come and get you. And you'll never get rid of the rumor. Or they just upload such photos to your phone and then blame you. And boom all conspiracy theorists in jail.
