I don't know if I 100% align up with how you stated it, but yea, its a matter of training data set. I don't think these companies have published their training data set. But thinking back on the issue with asians and facial recogn

We can look at projects like FreeBSD and NetBSD. Perhaps Linux kernel development will go to a similar board model?

This is a good point that introduces more complexity into the problem. Whether or not AI driving flourishes can be determined by more than regulations or manufacturers themselves. If insurance companies decide from their risk calculations t

Or how many kids are using some of the newer netbooks that maybe only have 32 GB or 64 GB eMMC. And that is becoming more and more common. Going into Walmart last, I think most of the computers in the electronics section had these smaller e

Interestingly. During my time in the navy, wearing a cover anywhere inside the skin of the ship was acceptable except for the mess decks. The reason for no wearing of covers in the mess decks was a sign of respect for the dead since mess de

I'd love to hear the alternative then? How would you gather data on how people feel about policy without a survey (aka just asking them), as an example?

Me too. But people are too busy caring whether or not a D or R is present next to the name and what social policies are pushed. Who cares about economic policy when I really just want others to be forced to live with the morals I have? And

This is what I am curious about and it might take away some of the amazement. We know from the PPC to Intel transition, Steve Jobs mentioned that they 'always' had a port of their OS to intel. So I am wondering if the same and is

The point wasnt to only assign fault at engineers but to show that the problem is more broad then its the "governments fault" or "corporations fault." That we assign agency to these vast things but dont acknowledge indiv

Or we prevent politicians from being bought out. Otherwise this can apply to anything and everything as it already does. Farm policies that help bust small farmers in favor of corporate farmers as an example. Then what we end up with is no

Being a PhD and researcerh, dont you see surveys as a vital way of collecting data? So why would you intentionally throw off the data many researchers use to reach conclusions? People wonder why statistics can be so messed up. Some of it is

Zuckerberg did write a lot of the initial code. Does make him a programmer among many other things.

The problem with most of the statement is that it is subjective. It is not a black and white issue of ethics of mandatory vaccines. Arguments with merits exist on both sides the argument. And mandatory vaccination with the exclusion of reli

So if 1 person throws out a styrofoam cup, we all should just say screw it and do it too? Just because some people may not have any guiding principles doesn’t mean everyone should abandon principles. That is another way to look at it.

Regardless of the title. There can still be a code of ethics in a trade.

Exactly. You do not need 100% or 95%. You just need enough to start changing the culture and landscape. Some of those people with industry experience but with values steeped in privacy and security will go on to educate (literally in academ

I think you bring up some good concepts here with working above and beyond for promotion. That sometimes we do voluntary build these tools in hope of some reward even if it is not specifically asked for. And maybe not even directly as a job

Not necessarily baddies but that we play a major part in this too. I fail to see Trump or Biden sitting behind a compiler writing the code. I do see Mark Zuckerberg, a programmer, running a company he founded doing mass data collection.

This is not the first instance of suggesting something like this. Look at the history of the ASCE and the AME which held very different views of engineering. ASCE more sticking to principle and the AME sticking more to business loyalty. Ult

Exactly. And developers are essentially engineers from a problem solving point. I think this is why Grace Hopper pushed so hard to help coin the term "software engineer" with the idea of trying to capture some of the ideas of what

Can you clarify this for me? I feel like I could walk away with two different interpretations? "What he got was a top 10 list of best performers, but not the list of the worst performers." I interpret this to mean either you were

Yes but what is the other alternative? People say legislation. But we all know we can't out compete the businessmen/businesswoman and stock holders. The only tangible alternative is to just not do the work. Unless someone has a pl

Yes. But we do have measures. Why not start our own firms with these ethics and refuse to work for entities that do. And dog food our own responsible privacy respecting code. Maybe it means we need to stop chasing the higher and higher payc

Unfortunately, most of us are the reasons why this is the problem. A lot of us on HN are developers and software engineers who pioneered the technology for a paycheck or are using this technology for a paycheck. The only way it stops is if

As a former US Navy Sailor, port and starboard are pretty clear. Along with Forward and Aft. These are things relative to the ship and points in which everyone is aware of on a ship. If I say starboard, that is right of the center of the sh

Dont forget pistachios. The Wonderful Company grows tons of pistachios in California that can take up to 40-50 gallons per day per tree. Remember folks, your water is going to a luxury snack food!
