I don't see a problem of creating ML models for improving the same company's services, which I can't really even imagine to require much explicit customers' consent. If it's for the same company, the same way all cl

I'm with you. But, we should see to evolve nuclear reactors to a point that they can be abandoned at any point of time without any catastrophy at all. If we have to sacrifice efficiency to do so, let's solve the issues we agree on

Right. Although, arguing China's side of the discussion as an example seems very very disproportionate at this point. See these giant, graphite-black sectors on the 2017 diagrams listed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

I wonder: is this the usual case, that users behavior or other data is used as input for ML projects without their consent? Would they always have to opt out rather than preparing the data in a way that prevents from disregarding users&#x27

We do have webbrowsers for GUI widgets and beyond these days. By that metric, Javascript would definitely be a more relevant option.

I once read this story about the problems trying to support ZFS - was it in the Linux kernel, though? Can't remember. Sadly, I can't seem to be able to dig it up right now, but the article walking readers through the various clash

Wow, you're prompting as little as I ever knew about the book "The I inside" by Allan Dean Foster of an artificial intelligence named Colligatarch mostly capable of, let's say, aggregation far beyond what Cambridge Analy

I wonder what it helps to show, except that we're screwed, because I believe to have already presumed that.

No sane setting gets us down to 2°C. I don't feel taken seriously. Can I get a slider for the frequency of volcanic eruptions? On a slightly more serious note, can we tame volcanoes by somehow - ideally - producing energy and ... preve

Only because there doesn't seem any way to fuck this up right now, doesn't mean there, in fact, isn't. The ongoing pattern is that "at the time it seemed like the right thing to publish", when in fact it's just

I find myself both agreeing and disagreeing here. I put comparators compulsively everywhere, especially because I switch between multiple languages, but I also don't trust my memory and keep a close eye on the documentation, therefore

You just reminded me of that one argument I've heard about two decades back. That if "you pirate Windows, you still kind of buy their product". The rationale of notochrome might be along these lines: If you use chromium, aren

I take it as a... hmm, not a lie of omission, but more, like, an omission of "trust us"? Not really sure what words would be best suited to describe this.

I wonder if Google does proper X-testing (X as in exodus), but I guess they don't take care about a couple users leaving, as they're still busy spreading through the rest of the world. I still hope that just means the clock's

This is a great idea, Be it only to dampen all the published science and research really is with all these reproducibility crises around. There has got to be a market for this kind of honest work, to make the existing world of published dat

There were scenarios in which this LIDAR technology would effectively blind detectors on other cars. I can understand how this puts the use case for this technology in question, since ideally, you'd want passive sensors, or at the very

I'd prefer to not have to discuss problems in Ali's code I can't read, yet his algorithm doesn't work, but I can fix typos in our resident elderly COBOL programmer's output, even though he's from SE Asia and hi

Interesting how German doesn't allow to drop the addressing pronoun due to how the sentence structure works, but Scandinavian readily allows even the number of addressees to be derived from the context. I guess I prefer English over Ge

Also, the more barriers you overcome to get to the basics (that one's Greek too, btw), the less you'll struggle moving on, getting used to a certain confusion towards foreign concepts. I really liked your angle, not over-ascribing

Well the question is why you'd want to allow it to become your problem, too, though. Having to debug libraries written in Elder Futhark or, case in point, Arabic, seems much more impossible than it may already seem sometimes, and that&

Put this way, it seems rather important to trust one's own judgement. That is a useful basis - one need to start somewhwere. If you give up both your judgement and other people's advice, you won't get anywhere at all before m

As far as universities do these things publicly, this is inadvertently going to tip the scales in who is going to apply. And I'm nowhere seeing an university that is actively filtering for opinion-conciousness in this sense, that might
