Human vs. Automated Data Labeling: How to Choose the Right Approach

Today, technology is evolving rapidly, making it crucial to choose the right data labeling approach for training AI datasets.

In our article, we have discussed human vs. automated data labeling and how to select the best approach for your AI models. We have also explored the benefits and limitations of both methods, providing you with a clear understanding of which one to choose.

Here's the top 2 stories from each of Fix The News's six categories:

1. A game-changing HIV drug was the biggest story of 2024

In what Science called the 'breakthrough of the year', researchers revealed in June that a twice-yearly drug called lenacapavir reduced HIV infections in a trial in Africa to zero—an astonishing 100% efficacy, and the closest thing to a vaccine in four decades of research. Things moved quick; by October, the maker of the drug, Gilead, had agreed to produce an affordable version for 120 resource-limited countries, and by December trials were underway for a version that could prevent infection with just a single shot per year. 'I got cold shivers. After all our years of sadness, particularly over vaccines, this truly is surreal.'

2. Another incredible year for disease elimination

Jordan became the first country to eliminate leprosy, Chad eliminated sleeping sickness, Guinea eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus, Belize, Jamaica, and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines eliminated mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis, India achieved the WHO target for eliminating black fever, India, Viet Nam and Pakistan eliminated trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness, and Brazil and Timor Leste eliminated elephantiasis.

15. The EU passed a landmark nature restoration law

When countries pass environmental legislation, it’s big news; when an entire continent mandates the protection of nature, it signals a profound shift. Under the new law, which passed on a knife-edge vote in June 2024, all 27 member states are legally required to restore at least 20% of land and sea by 2030, and degraded ecosystems by 2050. This is one of the world’s most ambitious pieces of legislation and it didn’t come easy; but the payoff will be huge - from tackling biodiversity loss and climate change to enhancing food security.

16. Deforestation in the Amazon halved in two years

Brazil’s space agency, INPE, confirmed a second consecutive year of declining deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. That means deforestation rates have roughly halved under Lula, and are now approaching all time lows. In Colombia, deforestation dropped by 36%, hitting a 23-year low. Bolivia created four new protected areas, a huge new new state park was created in Pará to protect some of the oldest and tallest tree species in the tropical Americas and a new study revealed that more of the Amazon is protected than we originally thought, with 62.4% of the rainforest now under some form of conservation management.

39. Millions more children got an education

Staggering statistics incoming: between 2000 and 2023, the number of children and adolescents not attending school fell by nearly 40%, and Eastern and Southern Africa, achieved gender parity in primary education, with 25 million more girls are enrolled in primary school today than in the early 2000s. Since 2015, an additional 110 million children have entered school worldwide, and 40 million more young people are completing secondary school.

40. We fed around a quarter of the world's kids at school

Around 480 million students are now getting fed at school, up from 319 million before the pandemic, and 104 countries have joined a global coalition to promote school meals, School feeding policies are now in place in 48 countries in Africa, and this year Nigeria announced plans to expand school meals to 20 million children by 2025, Kenya committed to expanding its program from two million to ten million children by the end of the decade, and Indonesia pledged to provide lunches to all 78 million of its students, in what will be the world's largest free school meals program.

50. Solar installations shattered all records

Global solar installations look set to reach an unprecedented 660GW in 2024, up 50% from 2023's previous record. The pace of deployment has become almost unfathomable - in 2010, it took a month to install a gigawatt, by 2016, a week, and in 2024, just 12 hours. Solar has become not just the cheapest form of new electricity in history, but the fastest-growing energy technology ever deployed, and the International Energy Agency said that the pace of deployment is now ahead of the trajectory required for net zero by 2050.  

51. Battery storage transformed the economics of renewables

Global battery storage capacity surged 76% in 2024, making investments in solar and wind energy much more attractive, and vice-versa. As with solar, the pace of change stunned even the most cynical observers. Price wars between the big Chinese manufacturers pushed battery costs to record lows, and global battery manufacturing capacity increased by 42%, setting the stage for future growth in both grid storage and electric vehicles - crucial for the clean flexibility required by a renewables-dominated electricity system. The world's first large-scale grid battery installation only went online seven years ago; by next year, global battery storage capacity will exceed that of pumped hydro.

65. Democracy proved remarkably resilient in a record year of elections

More than two billion people went to the polls this year, and democracy fared far better than most people expected, with solid voter turnout, limited election manipulation, and evidence of incumbent governments being tamed. It wasn't all good news, but Indonesia saw the world's biggest one day election, Indian voters rejected authoritarianism, South Korea's democratic institutions did the same, Bangladesh promised free and fair elections following a 'people's victory', Senegal, Sri Lanka and Botswana saw peaceful transfers of power to new leaders after decades of single party rule, and Syria saw the end of one of the world's most horrific authoritarian regimes.

66. Global leaders committed to ending violence against children

In early November, while the eyes of the world were on the US election, an event took place that may prove to be a far more consequential for humanity. Five countries pledged to end corporal punishment in all settings, two more pledged to end it in schools, and another 12, including Bangladesh and Nigeria, accepted recommendations earlier in the year to end corporal punishment of children in all settings. In total, in 2024 more than 100 countries made some kind of commitment to ending violence against children. Together, these countries are home to hundreds of millions of children, with the WHO calling the move a 'fundamental shift.'

73. Space exploration hit new milestones

NASA’s Europa Clipper began a 2.9 billion kilometre voyage to Jupiter to investigate a moon that may have conditions for life; astronomers identified an ice world with a possible atmosphere in the habitable zone; and the James Webb Telescope found the farthest known galaxy. Closer to Earth, China landed on the far side of the moon, the Polaris Dawn crew made a historic trip to orbit, and Starship moved closer to operational use – and maybe one day, to travel to Mars. 

74. Next-generation materials advanced

A mind-boggling year for material science. Artificial intelligence helped identify a solid-state electrolyte that could slash lithium use in batteries by 70%, and an Apple supplier announced a battery material that can deliver around 100 times better energy density. Researchers created an insulating synthetic sapphire material 1.25 nanometers thick, plus the world’s thinnest lens, just three atoms across. The world’s first functioning graphene-based semiconductor was unveiled (the long-awaited ‘wonder material’ may finally be coming of age!) and a team at Berkeley invented a fluffy yellow powder that could be a game changer for removing carbon from the atmosphere.

𐙚 ﹐genderpunk queer infographic

my infographic! the flag redesign and symbol are also both mine ꒱

can also be shortened to GP movement

we DESPERATELY need this movement because trump is destroying the rights of LGBTQ+ (especially trans people right now), and i want our voices heard!! our body, our fucking choice!! neither nature or biology adhere to the male/female binary!! hrt and gender-affirming surgeries is life-saving and extremely beneficial healthcare, more people regret having children than medically transitioning!! i'm tired of rich old cis men making decisions about what's best for my body!! i'm a proud nonbinary transsexual who uses neopronouns!!! i just want a happy and normal life like everyone else!! is that too much to ask for?? I JUST WANT BASIC FREEDOM AND EQUALITY TO EVERYONE ELSE.

I love Itty Bitties AU. I have a few questions. 1, did the magic cookies make Timmy basically Cosmo & Wanda's bio son? 2, why is Timmy a pixie? Is it because he used to be human? 3, I assume courts have a genetic aspect, based on the different sizes. So how does that work? Are some courts dominant or recessive? Can a child be a different court than their parent? Jorgen appears to be a specialty but Cosmo is Upper court? 4, what's a fun fact you haven't gotten to share yet but want to? :)

Fun Fact! Timmy has his mom's hair color!! It's slow growing, but after several decades, it'll be a nice pink just like hers! He has his dad's hairstyle, but it's not much different than before.

Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]

Numbered Answers to Questions 1-3 below!!!

Yup!! On top of the Fairy DMV, the Fairy Food lets Timmy become linked to Cosmo and Wanda. He can technically be a Fagiggly Gland donor for his brother.

Also correct! Pixies have the lowest magic output compared to all the other Fairy Courts. It's the safest Court Timmy could be admitted to. Maybe when he's older, he can be fully transferred into the same Court as his parents.

Genetics? Who knows! Fairies haven't had to think about it for about 1000 years. What they do know is that Anti-Fairies are born from the shadows of Fairies, and that nobody's quite sure where Leisure Fairies comes from. Pixies and Fairies can cross-breed though, so maybe they have what's known as "recessive" or "dominate" traits. Although Pixies don't have Anti-Fairy counterpart so... 🤔 ...To be fair, Jorgen also has no idea how he's related to Cosmo.

Credit to the Stormlight Archive for seeming like it was gonna do the whole "back in the Good Old Days of knights and heroes and powerful magic" fantasy cliche where everything used to be great but now we've got terrible modern life and we need to get back to it, etc. And then the more we learn about it the more we realize that, no, the Good Old Days were actually pretty terrible and advanced medicine and bureaucracy are actually really good.

[ellmovy]

Everybody has that agender aroace non-human friend, right?

[genericpuff]

it's so funny that dramatubers are calling the censoring of asmongold from bbno$'s new music video a "controversy" when it's actually a totally reasonable and sane thing to do and the only controversy is the fact that asmongold still exists

not funny haha funny weird

it's just flat out weird that people keep defending this loser, you're weird, go outside

[tr1ppykay]

the more i participate in discussions of transmasculine issues, the more disgusted i become at the approach a lot of "trans inclusive" feminists have towards transmascs...

feminist theory exists to serve the real life people that are harmed by patriarchy. if theory is not sufficiently serving real human beings who are desperately looking for acknowledgment of their suffering, then it must be rewritten to make room for that acknowledgment. if transmasculine people are all telling you about discrimination they have experienced, and how feminist theory does not make room to talk about their unique relationship with gender based oppression, you modify the theory to make room. you don't bash them over the head with writing that doesn't account for their existence.

feminism is not a fundamentalist religion. it is a conversation that must account for new perspectives and evolve to encompass them if we want to make any progress. but many feminists who discount transmasculine experiences want to treat the current state of feminist theory as a bible of unwavering truth: if men who face gendered oppression aren't mentioned, then trans men must be wrong about their lived experiences. of course, your precious theory could never have blind spots!

Happy Pride Month to Everyone with Xenogenders and Everyone who's gender is connected to their Nonhuman or Alterhuman Identity!!

This is now a Kamala Harris for President blog btw

Obviously I'll keep posting good news as usual! And I'm going to pull up as much good news and reasons for hope about Kamala Harris's campaign as I can.

[narcissistcookbook]

the problem with those nuclear semiotics proposals, ways to stop far-future societies from digging up nuclear waste, is that a LANDSCAPE OF THORNS and MENACING EARTHWORKS covered in warnings like BEWARE EVIL ENERGY and DO NOT UNLEASH THE CURSE in languages older than time is one way to absolutely guarantee that future humans will go the fuck there and dig it up just to see what the deal is. they're streisand effecting their own demise.

Lucifer & Cerberus headcanons 🐶🖤

Lucifer didn’t want Cerberus in the first place cuz of the responsibility and being too busy to care for a dog but he ended up loving him and spoiling him a few hours later (yes, he is that type of dad)

Lucifer would buy matching clothes for him, Diavolo, and Cerberus (and take family pictures)

Lucifer celebrates Cerberus’ birthday every year (would even send out invitations - “bring presents”)

One time lucifer forgot to buy his brothers (and Diavolo) Christmas presents but he definitely didn’t forget Cerberus considering the amount of bags filled with dog toys, treats, outfits, and accessories he bought

Cerberus has his own room which Lucifer decorated and built a few things for him

Cerberus got lost/escaped twice and Lucifer panicked so bad. He couldn’t sleep or eat bc he was worried something happened to Cerberus (human au)

The first time Cerberus got lost was because of Diavolo, Lucifer gave him the silent treatment (their first major problem they had in their marriage/whole relationship so far). Second time was Belphie and Satan’s fault, Satan was trying to make it up to Lucifer but Lucifer just gave him the silent treatment and just straight up ignored him like he didn’t exist (human AU)

Diavolo used to call puppy Cerberus ‘cockblocker’ bc of the amount of times Cerberus would interrupt him and Lucifer when they’re about to have sex. It happened too often that Diavolo was starting to think that Cerberus knew what he was doing (human au)

Bonus: This has do with the devilgram story: “The Disappearance of Cerberus” and how I wish it went or expected it to go. I like to imagine that when Cerberus ran away, Lucifer got depressed. Yes, the brothers were TERRIFIED to tell Lucifer which they were right about cuz Lucifer started yelling at them while panicking. The brothers even caught Lucifer staring at a picture of him and Cerberus (when he was shrunk to the size of the dogs (large breed) in the human world). He had bags under his eyes and refused to talk to his brothers. His brothers then realized that they actually fucked up big time. Maybe at some point Lucifer shared some memories he had with Cerberus to MC, having that sad smile on his face as he shares those memories.

Most of these are just associated with one of my human AU stories 😂
