    Yes, Russia different idea is that it thinks that America should overthrow 3 different governments under a single Peace-prize winning president.

    First there was Libya: We overthrew the government.
    Then we went after Syria: We tried really hard to overthrow the government but Russia stopped us. We didnt train enough rebels in the Libyan training camps we set up.
    Then because Russia prevented Syria, Ukraine: We overthrew the democratically elected government of the Ukraine and installed racist fascists. It costs us only $5 billion. Cheapest one yet.

    That pretty much sums of the difference between our two nations right there.

    You Americans do understand that what your media reports is literally the opposite of what the rest of the worlds media reports, right?

    The AI is only as smart as the data its fed. If the statistics are biased (as in, mathematically, not subjectively), then the AI will be as well.

    Thats not how it works.

    Machine learning will correct for those biases. Thats the point of machine learning. So long as the desired outputs are not biased all is good. If the desired outputs are biased, thats a different problem entirely.

    If the desired output is how likely a person is to choose between Subway, Taco Bell, and Kentucky Friend Chicken, based on the actual choices of actual people, then no amount of input bias will thwart the learning. It doesnt matter if one of the inputs is someones opinion .. even the opinion of racist people. If the opinion are negatively correlated with the output because of a bias, machine learning will figure that out.

    Stop talking about shit you dont understand.

  7. Re:Training data on Artificial Intelligence Has Race, Gender Biases (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I like how you guys dont understand machine learning at all.

    If an opinion is part of the input, it will still learn if that opinion has weight on the desired output.

    Can we talk about the output now? or are you still going to ignorantly drool on the input?

    If the desired output is, for instance, the chance that a parson will commit the crime again, then its going to be trained to output actual recidivism data, not someones opinion of it. The inputs are just clues of varying weights. The learning will not care if the input is negatively or positively correlated with the desired output. It will in fact determine if the input is negatively or positively correlated. Thats the point of machine learning.

    How do you tell encrypted data from un-encrypted? It's just 1s and 0s.

    The encrypted data is the stuff that follows perfect statistical randomness. Every other kind of data has an identifiable coherence. Data compression produces a just-slightly-not-perfect statistical randomness that can be detected by a model with an order higher than the order of the model used to compress the data.

  15. Congress is supposedly "working on" a new healthcare package. But really the work has already done by K Street insurance lobby. They wrote the bill, and handed it off to their lapdogs in congress to pass. The healthcare bill is one mamoth crony capitalist golden subsidy to the insurance companies.

    Its not a big conspiracy. Its a lot of little competing ones. The politicians all agree that regulation is the way forward because regulation equals money, but they dont agree on which specific companies get the most benefit because each politician is getting money from difference sources, at different times. Whats not on the table is the good of the people.

    It was recently revealed that NASA was spending over $2 billion/year on global warming research.

    Maybe they would have enough money by now if they werent spending it politically on things that other government agencies like the NOAA are already funded to study. James Hansen can go fuck himself.

    And to end one of the bullshit arguments before it starts:

    NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

    Aeronautics is "the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere."

    A climate researcher is given control of NASA. Suddenly all his friends are splitting up literally billions per year on something the department isnt even supposed to be doing. Then they cry poverty for not having enough money to accomplish their mission.

    This *should* be all anyone needs to know. That was AT&T consultants (and other providers with substantial dsl and/or cellular data) that wrote the first FCC Net Neutrality rules and they are fighting to keep it from changing, meanwhile Comcast, Cablevision, etc were also lobbying for their own version of Net Neutrality but they didnt get theirs.. so here they are lobbying to change the rules.

Thats a nice video streaming or other service you have there... it would be a shame if we were legally required to block all your data because an endless series of people claimed that you are violating their copyright.
