This reminds me of John Arnold, who shorted the housing market. There was no tool to short US Housing, until then. So he made 70 billion by shorting Housing and was considered unpatriotic, but it's a free market and would have been done by someone else.
I'm offended.

Very Thank You for this book
John Arnold’s Artificial Intelligence Tool is systematically tricking judges to profit off criminals and unsuspecting taxpaying citizens.
John Arnold started as a non profit foundation, after deceiving cities to use their “Machine Learning”, they incorporated as an LLC anticipating profits using good unsuspecting judges as pawns. https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/laura-and-john-arnol...
After selling his Artificial Intelligence Tool to Washington D.C. there has been a 227% surge in crimes. “We have witnessed the tragic impact that a climate of hate and division can cause. The FBI report highlights how communities across DC must continue to confront intolerance and bigotry, and continue to work together to build and maintain an inclusive and welcoming city” – Anti-Defamation League https://www.washingtonian.com/2018/11/14/hate-crimes-are-up-...
The NAACP, ACLU, MIT and 100 other organizations panicking as John Arnold pushes his racist and secret machine learning algorithm to decide who goes to jail, “More than 100 civil rights and community-based organizations, signed a statement urging against the use of risk assessment.” https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612775/algorithms-crimina...
Criminal Justice is a human element, that needs to focus on humans deciding who goes to jail while we address real issues such as Community Development and Prison Reform. https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/justice-and-prison-reform/pri...
The first concern is the vanishing/exploding gradient issue within neural network based models and the inherent bias.
But greater is the propensity for abuse, the algorithm that determines the risk model isn't publicly accessible.
Once we get to a point where an AI controls sentencing, it could be manipulated. The idea that an AI get's to determine which humans go to jail is the last thing we should ever utilize AI for.
A more important issue would be to focus on prison reform, let's reduce the causation of crime. Unfortunately private prisons are expanding right now and there's no reason to assume the prison lobby wouldn't love to influence an algorithm designed to send more people to jail.
Spot on. I have followed a very similar path. Backpacking through SEA for 6 months, then creating a remote work environment back home. But all of it was lonely.
Joining a makerspace and yoga are my favorite things to keep me busy.
I feel this was really poor decision making on the pilot and or his commanders.
Imagine a building burning down, civilian car parked in front of said building... Whoops operation is ruined, better turn around and do nothing.
So the real issue is the aircraft dispatcher doesn't know how to handle emergency situations? This is horrible.
Everyone already stated what I was going to say more thorougly.
Ohio Private School != Silicon Valley
I definitely thought this was about the webserver and not the tribe.
Condescension aside, this post seems accurate.
Keeping your head down in SEA is really good advice.

here's a video of it in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9k1K5M2Mkw&channel=ssfraser...
I'm not clear why it is advertised as the only one though, I've seen these at many airports and apaprently they have been around for over 100 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_walkway
That was an amazingly thorough writeup. I very much enjoyed it. And I no longer want to move to japan...
It's a microsoft review site lol. Not biased at all.
Right. It's dead. Everyone stop using it. Because the author's wife needs to use microsoft office.
