Also, most ML algorithms of this type produce a continuous score and not a binary Yes/No classification. Human users/customers provide a score cutoff that gives an acceptable confusion matrix for their use case.
Alternatively stated, the machine does not say "Bob is lying", rather, "I think Bob is lying with X confidence".
and thus people are being forced to live in an increasingly dire situation
No one is forcing tech employees to come to SF and compete with each other to push rents into the stratosphere. I'm not denying the role of SF government in the supply/demand disconnect, but rents would not be where they are if people simply refused to pay that much.
Years ago I had a friend flying to visit family in the UK. The cheapest available ticket flew Atlanta > Houston > Atlanta > London. The airline absolutely insisted that he fly Atlanta > Houston > Atlanta instead of getting on in the middle.
every person being charged challenging the algorithms?
Out of necessity the algorithms will become just as biased as people
I don't think anyone is proposing to let an algorithm charge people with crimes. Its purpose is to attempt to identify victims in advance so their circumstances can be addressed before anything happens to them.
As far as algorithms being biased , that's only really a problem if it's also wrong. Classification requires the assumption that because one thing looks like another group of things it's more likely to be the target.
In fairness, the human mind is like this as well. Chess Grandmasters are excellent at intuitively evaluations positions, but the reasons they give for WHY those positions are good do not bear up under inspection.
Holy shit, this. Live-in grandparents easily provide $20-30k a year in child care services, never mind the joint savings from combining fixed living costs and utterly invaluable additional sanity you gain from having the adults in the household properly rest with maybe even some time for their own leisure.
Has any individual ever been audited for not declaring Use Tax? I know that it's nominally a requirement, but I know of exactly zero people who actually do so and exactly zero people who have ever been audited because of it.
I can't find the link right now, but I've read about a company that claims they can end up producing net-positive energy by putting solar panels on the roof of their indoor farms and then inside only have light broadcasting at the spectrum peaks for absorption in photosynthesis. They can use the solar energy from the rest of the spectrum to power other equipment, and allegedly have some left over.
Perhaps in some definition sense, but the current neuroscience is increasingly showing that there are a huge array of unconscious processes that precede what we perceive to be deliberate actions.
I certainly do not read "I emailed the instructor, Fred and the dean" to imply that the instructor's name is Fred. You're right that "I emailed the instructor, Fred, and the dean" is ambiguous as to whether ", Fred," is an aside clarifying the instructor's name. All of the above are examples of sloppy writing, however.
Unambiguous constructions would be "I emailed the dean and the instructor, Fred" or "I emailed the dean, the instructor, and Fred".
My favorite interview was with a man who was at the time the oldest in the world (or something) at 115. When asked about his secret to longevity he replied, "Well, I stopped smoking at 95 and I stopped eating bacon at 108."
This morning's NPR coverage of this story started that the driver was watching one of the Harry Potter movies while the autopilot was engaged. No wonder they didn't see the truck.

how much will they charge for a dose?
How much do you have?

Stupidity all around.

Sentence the algorithm to death. Train it with new data so the mistake is not repeated, and the offending version never activated again.
.. which is not Google's to sell access to
And even it were, that point is moot since clearly Epic doesn't think that's worth 30%.

It takes a massive amount of energy to maintain the vacuum.

Indoor farms would require artificial light

No such thing as a perfect circle anywhere, except maybe in just the math itself - and pi goes on & on...
Profile of a neutron star?
Payroll tax.

That depends entirely on how dislikes are interpreted. Using them to suppress controversy would be a silly move on Facebook's part.

Says the man literally ending a sentence in "preposition".
Great! We can cool the atmosphere by using ambient heat to melt methane ice! And then burn the methane, and then, um...
Don't forget gamers. Mobile gaming is still heavily performance capped and a comparatively bad value.
The share of people who can't go out and buy a new EV on demand is probably more like 95%.
Which word? "Now"? The costs were always sunk.
