That's not a side effect of open source: it's a side effect of any dependency. If you were using foxpro, any google service, apis from companies bought by Apple, etc then the dependencies stop being maintained or vanish altogether

Indeed. This is where the discussion should be. The topic of whether we should have cameras everywhere is one conversation. But this one is about how to handle the unintended side effects of ethnic bias based on data and the analysis. You m

The article is about using Machine Learning on the video feeds, not that there are video feeds. And the issue at hand is that ML algorithms can have racial bias in the classifications.

It would be interesting to see an output of the compiler flags used in the C++ program that was benchmarked. The build script doesn't set an optimization level so it would default to -O0: https://github.com/ExaScience&#
