I agree. While the article is correct that this problem of subtle bias exists, the solution for most cases is to realise that the computer "does what you say, not what you mean".

Not sure what a better term would be... Just being more specific might help, like "bias in the training data"?

While I agree with you, and the article, that the larger problem is that the AI model simply hasn't experienced enough data to get an accurate grasp on the situation, or that the d…

Apparently those kinds of people consider you to be the one with the communication disorder. I consider them incapable of writing an abstract.

Facebook is foreign to me, and my country has no first amendment, we only allow their constant spying because we are part of the five eyes and it is beneficial for us to let the ya…

Why are they worried? If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear! Or does that only work when the Americans are spying on everything we say and do both online and off? Th…

There's an emoji for handgun, but Apple and other big tech decided it needed to be a water gun. There is also a rifle character intended to represent the sport of shooting in a pen…

I'm glad you've explained it. Maybe I'm being dumb, but I can't see where the article actually says what laws are being violated.

Then make a dedicated fall detector and sell it to the elderly. They already make wrist bands with panic buttons that phone for help, put the sensor in the phone hub just in case t…

I have a few wallets with alleged RFID blocking. For those its mainly to stop arse grabbing attacks where card info (or security badge info) could be cloned with a little badge rea…

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen Google Voice (audio), Hangouts (text, audio, and video), Allo (text), Duo (video), Meet (video), Chat (text), and Messages (text) all in qu…

The most useful NFT I've seen so far is Decentraland's LAND token, which behaves much like a deed to a plot of virtual land. Its something you could theoretically download free gra…

> didn't list provide a complete and accurate list of his previous jobs I was always told to only provide relevant and accurate previous jobs (which evidently Firr didn't do, eithe…

What, those things you put on horses eyes?

I'd say the problem with touch screens is that they encourage car manufacturers to be dumb at UX (see also: that German who crashed because Tesla thought window wiper controls need…

I generally like car UIs (I'm a fan of glossy things rather than flat things) but no amount of polish will make the layout not suck. Its usually designed for left hand drive cars a…

Oh, so this law isn't even in force yet? No wonder I'm not aware of it.

I guess Skoda was breaking the law when they made the citigo. That didn't even have radar reversing sensors as standard.

We are but muggles, so I don't think we need to worry about teleporting children appearing in the time it takes you to get back in the car. You know your blind spot is clear and ca…

Who made them mandatory? When and where? You have other blind spots, too, and manufacturers know that relying on a camera makes drivers neglect their other blind spots - Skoda cars…

Laws in what country?

Getting out of the car would save 95 lives, too

Then use your eyes and neck joint to check your blind spots? You'd fail a UK driving test if you relied entirely on your mirror (or camera, for that matter) when reversing.

Oh, and as for why we got it, some scrote put a brick through our porch door and tried to put one through our front window. We hoped if they tried it again we would capture their f…

They aren't even that good. We (unfortunately) have an Amazon doorbell and all it does is play wind chimes constantly as dog walkers go past. On top of that, the one time we had a …
