What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?
That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

TL:DR cloudflare made a new recaptcha which does some complex math and other stuff on your browser, which done once has no noticable effect but if someone were to scrape websites at an absurd speed it slows everything down significantly.
this is not only cool because you don't have to manually solve the captcha, but also because it allows for low-speed scraping to be feasible, with tools like flaresolverr
That's actually kinda cool. Punish the scrapers, but allow regular people to not waste time.
Meanwhile, Google is having you find the zebra crossing for the 400th time....
*training their ai using humans
Thanks for being the only person in this thread who doesn't joke or talk out of their ass
Quite interesting really and a genius solution (it they don't lie about not stealing your data)
Didn't the Soviets see geniuses and other intellectuals as a danger to society during the time this award was given out? Or are there incidents where this was given to scientists as well? I know you're probably joking, but when I suddenly encounter Lenin's head being used in a positive manner I have to look twice.
Oh, so it's Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.
