I've wondered about that. I don't know enough about it, does it disadvantage white players somehow or is it just that being tall is a big (excuse the pun) advantage?
If it's the latter, is that necessarily a good thing? I don't know much about basketball, but it is popular among school age girls in Japan who tend not to be very tall.
Another example is sumo wrestling, where in the 90s the stables reached an informal agreement to change the style of wrestling to favour smaller, lighter wrestlers. That was in response to the health problems associated with weighing 250kg.
Or maybe it's just one of those things, like sprinting.... Although being tall was thought to be a disadvantage in sprinting until Bolt came along.
If it was 0.01% then no one would care. Unfortunately it's actually kinda common. Web cams with face tracking that can't see black people, standard auto settings on cameras not handling black skin well... There was a great example on Twitter of a hand dryer with optical hand detection that couldn't see black skin.
Lots of people are still running the 2700k and 2500k from 2011. They are still good gaming CPUs. I have a 2700k in a workstation. Also Xeons from around the same time, and an i7 mobile CPU from 2012.
Compilation isn't really very disk I/O intensive these days. Everything gets cached and it barely loads an SSD.
Databases, BitTorrent on a fast connection, stuff that involves a lot of small reads and writes, is going to be hardest hit. Early server benchmarks from Epic Games production servers show a 60% performance loss.
Spot on. When you learn a second language, and I mean really learn it not just some phrases, you realise a lot of stuff about your first language too. Things you just took for granted or never really thought about suddenly become apparent because they are different in other languages.
Freedom of speech means that you absolutely do have a right to be offended, and to express that offense. No one has to listen to you, but you have a right to speak about the issue.
Anyway, I don't think anyone is really offended here, just frustrated that they can't solve this engineering challenge.
That's a quite incredible coincidence! Google's face identification uses things like the distance between your eyes, nose and mouth position etc to tell you apart from other people. It works very well.
So for it to misidentify monkeys as you, somehow it must be measuring the monkey's face as very close to your own.
The issue in TFA is different though. It's not identifying a specific person, just confusing humans and monkeys in general.
No, he's saying that you can't just say "okay, no more racism from now on" and expect it to magically fix all the racially biased systems that are already established.
Bollocks. You have zero evidence that is true, and in fact no one seems to have been fired and Google assigned engineering resources to finding a solution.
It's hard because the AI is simplistic. It's actually a good test case.
It's a weakness of the AI too. Humans know how other humans act. They stand upright, they sit in chairs, they eat with cutlery, they tend to look at the camera, they smile, they have patches of skin not covered by hair... Even with a bad photo, a human can tell it's not a primate from other clues.
70% of people claiming to be between 15 and 17 years old. That's very different from "most of the child refugees", as originally claimed.
So we have 70% checked, if which 70% were thought to be 18 or older. 49%, not "most". And of that 49% some unknown proportion simply aged between claiming asylum and being tested.
There is no way to spin these numbers to make the original claim correct.
Seems to have been a US thing. A lot of phones released in Europe and the US differed in the mobile chipset (bands, GSM/CDMA) and that the FM radio was available here.
More recently phones have had world band chipsets so Europe gets disabled FM as well.
Even if they weren't spending money on FUD, the fact is that they produced energy at the lowest cost TO THEM. The rest was distributed unevenly among everyone.
When I read threads like this I realise that the case for being environmentally responsible is winning. Otherwise why appeal to absurdity? If there was a genuinely good argument against it, it would be made.
Slashdot means a lot to me, and I'm sure many others. We have been here a long time, and while we complain sometimes we do appreciate what you did for the community. More than that, you seem to get what Slashdot is about.
The only other thing I'd like to mention is the right hand side ads. I don't mind the ads per se, but that one makes the page really narrow when viewing on mobile.
You wanted a phone that could last all day, so you bought the super thin super small battery iPhone. The battery is so small in fact that when it ages the phone starts to crash.
Rather than demand this design flaw be fixed, you accept a loss of performance that helps Apple save money by but replacing your battery/phone for free.

It was for China. They wanted to operate in China, so weakened their encryption.
Now they have found a way to keep China happy. Maybe it only works outside China, maybe they send the keys to the Chinese government.

Young people will never stop being stupid. That's human nature.
A society that doesn't allow people to make mistakes and recover from them will suck.

10% lower performance chips cost about 30-40% less at the high end.
Now you know the pain we feel every time someone talks about Legos.
It's groping not a criminal act in that jurisdiction?
Or maybe she just had a relationship with him and trusted him too much, or maybe she made a mistake because you know young people and flattery...
Nothing about this seems to warrant blaming the victim.

Specifically who is suppressing specifically what facts?

It's being discussed at length on /r/The_Donald and /r/MetaCanada and /r/European and all the other usual places.
Sorry, your Reddit censorship narrative is demonstrably wrong.

Some digital assistants use Yelp to make recommendations I think.
Thanks, it's really appreciated.
