> - You want people in the pool to be similar risks. If they aren't and they know they aren't the low risk people will decide they don't need to insure, leaving everyone else with a higher average cost. Also, the high risk

Another issue is that once the algorithm becomes known, and used be many people, it will not work any more.

Does it really matter though ? The fist thing I would do is find how to keep people from my country safe, not worry about where did my funding go (especially since the lab's funding has absolutely nothing to do with how we can find a c

So I'm not sure what your point is. Both diseases are dangerous. Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory when you travel in a country with high risk. Covid vaccine will be mandatory when you want to go in situations / places with high r

They can order you to give back the money. And like in real life, you can refuse to tell where the money is hidden.

Google Search could still show ads. They would just be Google ads customers, like any other website, and they would get paid for displaying ads.

I don't believe it's only a matter of personal responsibility. We have laws to help prevent addiction from gambling, alcohol, tobacco... When a company hires neuroscientists to design an addictive product, how can you say the resp

I agreed with you until the last line. Company that design phones and especially apps are designing them with addiction in mind.

At least with competition users get to choose which companies they want to do business with.

by elcomet 5y ago
Isn't that the case for every company ? Why would a company do something in the interest of the consumer if it was not in their interest ? Competition is what's supposed to take care of this

That's incorrect. The name is Windows Subsystem (as in a Subsystem that runs on the windows kernel) for linux, that is, designed to run Linux.

Those are not problems specific to this language. You need to define those terms properly to tax people adequately.

I don't think it's a contradiction. If you follow the exact wording of the law, it's easier to find loopholes (like a hacker looking for a breach). If you follow the intent of the law, then it's much harder. A judge will

But the point is that people do not care about the cpu in their mac. They care about screen size, price and other stuff. Apple is still selling intel versions, because either they are cheaper (older generations), or because the newest versi

That was quick. I'm glad they will look into this and I hope we don't see this kind of research in the future. This story reminded me of facebook experimenting on their users to control their emotional state (but they said users w

Turing completeness refers to a language, while NP-completeness refers to an optimization problem. So for it to be turing complete you first need to define a language based on tetris. For NP-completeness, it might just be solving the game.

Yes and as you say, you don't need interpretability for those use cases. You need performance, as in most situations. Also, people cannot explain why they heard a sentence, they just heard it. So explainability doesn't really mea

Node uses a JIT compiler (V8) and is not interpreted. This is why it's so fast. You could compare it with PyPy, a just-in-time compiler for python. For example, on my machine, the same program runs in 2:12 min with the regular python i

You won't use speech recognition to heal patients or make diagnosis.. And if you use it to control medical devices, then transparency is not what matters. A protocol matters, like the machine repeating the commands and asking for confi

I do this too and it's amazing. I also import common packages and classes that I use regularly, such as numpy, os, math, collections...

Yes but this doesn't matter really. What's important is that running the script twice will still give you right values. From a practical point of vue it is the same as idempotency, which is what matters.
