Casting Doubt On the Hawkeye Ball-Calling System
Human judgment by referees is increasingly being supplemented (and sometimes overridden) by computerized observation systems. nuke-alwin writes "It is obvious that any model is only as accurate as the data in it, and technologies such as Hawkeye can never remove all doubt about the position of a ball. Wimbledon appears to accept the Hawkeye prediction as absolute, but researchers at Cardiff University will soon publish a paper disputing the accuracy of the system."
It's funny how the slashdot community is so clear headed and informed about apparent impossibility of something as seemingly simple as putting a radio transmitter in a tennis ball, but then turn into pseudo religious nuts when it comes to uploading their souls into future AI networks. There's no consistency here.

Fuck a Cricket Filter. The earliest known instance of "football/soccer" was cuju. The Chinese invented it in 3rd-2nd century BC. Call it by what it really is, you bunch of thieves.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
