This post is extremely stupid, reeks of ignorant arrogance. And one like it seems to pop up every month. Why don't we ever folks like this ever ask, "when will AI replace SWE?" Afterall SWEs deal with deterministic systems th

Like you rightly said, you are not American. So it's really different for you to conceptualize or understand how deeply and integral racism is woven into every element of US. Reports like that helps make it visible to us so we can at

No the guy has way too many mistruths. America is not 90% white and 10% black. Yes the benefits of white racism is psychological but it's also economic and legal. Please check out the copius data on employment and income gap for equiv

Excellent. A system like this barely beats if at all simple rule based approach, which are easier to implement, easier to explain. When use case demands it, domain relevant feature engineering is where the value is. A generic approach is

Also who has the tape and is measuring 8ft. This law criminalizes regular behavior. The actual implementation will inevitably mean a police officer that doesn't want to be recorded can't be recorded. And he will get away with it
