Also when only a tiny part of the wheel is in the corner of a square, does it count? What about the motorcycle’s mirror? Apparently it doesn’t most of the time. But sometimes it does.
Also the absolute worst are those “click all the squares that have a <object> in it until they’re all gone” Then when you click on them the image disappears and sometimes you have to wait way too long for another image to finally appear in its place. You know when the images take too long to appear like that it will fail you no matter what, probably because you “took too long” to solve the captcha.
i approach it as training data for vision systems. Answer it in the following way:
“Select the reasonable amount of the object such that that object would be identified by a machine”
so frames with very little parts will typically not count
Where do we want the machine to start “seeing” a car or cyclist? I’d like them to pay attention to egdes.
its likely just used for training data for Waymo, hence the traffic related stuff. It’s likely one of the several reasons why Waymo as an automated driving car company is further in development than many other companies.
Yep, this happens constantly.
Also, a motorcycle and a moped are apparently the same thing.
Everyone knows that captcha is just google crowd sourcing part of its image recognition software, right?
Yes and it’s also why if i have time i mess up the first try on purpose
I recently had to do a captcha where all the pictures are AI generated, it asks me to pick pictures of bags, there’s a bag the size of a car in the middle of the road, I failed the captcha because I didn’t pick that.
Is this the dude that coppied me in calc but didn’t realize that the professor very obviously handed out 2 different versions of the test? Like I repeatedly saw him staring at my answer sheet and thought “noone can be that stupid” because the two test versions were literally printed on different colors of paper and the professor told everyone they were different versions to prevent cheating. Then to my immense delight the professor called him out on it the next day by congratulating him on getting 100% on the wrong version of the test.
I refuse to click on a scooter or a moped when I get that one. They are not motorcycles.
somebody flat out told one of my friends that he was going to be copying his answers for a math test. so for every answer, my friend added 12.3, waited until the other guy turned his test in, then went back and subtracted 12.3 from all of his answers.
Lower your cognitive load:
They are a million times easier than they were years ago. My memory is of utterly impossible audio CAPTCHAs, now I’ve been meaning to try transcribing the audio automatically but very easy to do manually. (Don’t wanna install an extension since I don’t face many CAPTCHAs.)
I haven’t had to do a captcha myself for like a month. It’s great.
At first I was uneasy about exploiting* an accessibility feature but then they made some good points
reCAPTCHA challenges remain a considerable burden on the web, delaying and often blocking our access to services and information depending on our physical and cognitive abilities, our social and cultural background, and the devices or networks we connect from.
That’s a hilarious solution.
What about when it shows a scooter? As a lifelong motorcycle rider I can’t bring myself to call such a thing anything but a scooter
Failed a test because of that the other day. I’m not even a motorcycle guy and still know that.
Buster is a great help on desktop: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/
huh I never click on the driver and still pass lol
maybe cause I started doing them slowly and adding unnecessary but humane touches / mouse movements
Flann O’Brien would have sided with the CAPTCHA.
Authoritarian: do exactly what I did or else GTFO.
