At Scale AI, we are building tools across the AI development lifecycle, to help companies get the data they need, whether it's for self-driving vehicles, AGI, or robotics. The Berlin team is part of the Autonomous Vehicles & Computer Vision sector of Scale, which builds the tools for labeling Lidar pointclouds, annotating image and video feeds, and linking them together to build perception models.
In this role, you will be an integral member of the founding engineering teams as part of our expansion into Berlin. You'll be given the opportunity to own critical parts of various products to meaningfully drive millions of dollars in revenue.
Wish I had found something like this when I was exploring the KITTI dataset for school a couple years ago. Nice way to visually identify interesting scenarios.
Not always. If the provider can be social engineered into granting you access to the account after proving access to that number then I’m not sure “better than nothing” is that solid.
It's potentially worse than nothing because you can steal someone's sim card and then use that to reset their account password. This is because (as in almost every company that uses text messages for 2fa) you use the sms to authenticate the reset.
Or these shitty fake 2fa photo tan things they have here in Germany.
Something you have (your phone, with saved passwords) and something you have (your wife's phone, or just a device to take a photo of your screen to show it back to your actual phone) isn't 2fa.
But it makes it so painfully difficult to do anything that a valid step for security, like quickly contacting the bank to say “my phone is untrustworthy” via another device, becomes unreasonable, difficult and unlikely.
(But in general, trying to do anything in Germany is a painful experience. The business culture here seems to be, “if it's beneficial to the customer, it's a cost centre to us so please remove it”.)
For the US and Canada, there is JMP.chat which can be used to 2FA over SMS without a SIM. Uses standard XMPP so can be used from a computer or phone while on WiFi.
There are other proprietary services which can do the same for no monetary cost (usually lots of advertising and tracking, though).
Of course, that means you're giving "Denver Gingerich and others" full access and control over the number and channel used to receive unencrypted authentication tokens.
