... Compass software... was found to judge black defendants more harshly than white defendants.
... that was an existing algorithm that judged somebody on how they were born rather than their individual behavior.
No it wasn't. You are confusing data and process.
The algorithm COULD NOT have arrived at that output *unless* the category of "race" was included in the data. If it had been excluded from the training data, then there's no way the algorithm could have associated "race==black" with higher criminality deserving of harsher punishments.
If the DATA is scrubbed of bias, then the ONLY thing the algorithm can base it's decision on is individual behaviour.
It isn't though, I've been there, they have rats. This is just bullshit propaganda, like: "Hey if we can keep rats out, we can keep immigrants out too right?"
Research from John Hopkins (I think?) has shown that performance of human doctor's DROPS when they are provided with automated results FIRST without a chance to view the un-annotated images. If they are provided with automated results in advance, they simply verify those results without doing much more looking themselves - the result being they wind up missing outliers that humans are good at seeing but machines aren't. It blinds them to outliers they would normally see.
If you do it the other way around though - have the doctor do their analysis FIRST, and THEN have those results double-checked by automated systems - you get super-additive performance better than either machine or doctor alone.
By the time the rest of us are authorizing credit purchases with telepathy, you'll probably *JUST* be introducing the "tap & go" LOL what a fucking backwater...
...unless you can predict the future, stating that it can replace antibiotics entirely and for the best is presumptuous. Large scale / long term effects are hard to predict.
I don't need to predict anything, they've been using phage therapy for exactly this purpose in Georgia going on almost 100yrs now, there's nothing to predict, we know it works
You have to take the time to figure out what phage to use. This is much slower than broad spectrum antibiotics.
Granted it is slower, but it's debatable whether or not it is significantly so. And the "just slap some antibiotics onto it first" approach is one of the ways we got into this mess to begin with.
In a case of septicemia it would be the difference between living and dying.
Only in backwater countries without public healthcare; in most places preventing septicemia is pretty routine.
Except antibiotics are curing people who would die otherwise, so it is concerning if antibiotics no longer work.
No, they are curing people who could also be cured by phage therapy, so if antibiotics stop working, we can just use phage therapy to get the same results.

Ten year plan unveils YOU
Obama's FBI
Whoosh!
... is a "Vita"?!?
Wish I could mod this up, but I already commented basically the same thing myself...
Ha! Just posted the same damn thing LOL
Better grades != smarter
The only thing that correlates highly with "better grades" is *effort*, not intelligence.
I just call it "NotWindows"
...in how a self-aware *human* might act.
Great that Alberta is free of rats
It isn't though, I've been there, they have rats. This is just bullshit propaganda, like: "Hey if we can keep rats out, we can keep immigrants out too right?"
...since I live in Alberta, a province free of rats.
HA! If anyone *actually* believes that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...
I'm sure there's a lot of work that goes into Hollywood accounting.)
It IS really hard to make a movie like Infinity War LOSE money on paper...
... you could get better blockbuster predictions from a trained monkey than from studio execs!
... then we don't have anything to worry about!
Audiophiles and Cyclists shake their head in disagreement.
YOU LEAVE CYCLISTS OUT OF THIS!!!
Typeface nerds (anyone who gives a shit about typefaces really) are the *worst* kinds of people.
THE WORST
This could make diagnosis actually worse.

Stop panicking people.
Phage therapy has been around for @100yrs! The only people in danger are the anti-biotic sellers
How about putting a faraday cage around any device under test that is possibly powered on?
Came here to say the same, glad it was already covered.
Nobody knows how to stop it
Why not? Are they stupid? Faraday cages are dirt simple, so they MUST be a bunch of idiots.
