Another similar “shortcut” I’ve heard about was that a system that analyzed job performance determined that the two key factors were being named “Jared” and playing lacrosse in high school.
And, these are the easy-to-figure-out ones we know about.
If the bias is more complicated, it might never be spotted.
Yes, “Bias Automation” is always an issue with the training data, and it’s always harder to resolve than anyone thinks.
That’s virtua, not virtual.
Yep. Because stealing is a crime that goes back thousands of years. It was an old crime by the time the 10 commandments were written down. Meanwhile, copyright infringement is a new thing that’s maybe a few centuries old at most, and it’s a lot more morally ambiguous. Is it wrong to infringe on a monopoly that the government has given a corporation over the sharing of a tangible expression of an idea? Maybe sometimes? Maybe not other times?
One woman can deliver a baby in an hour, if she’s a doctor or a midwife.
Their are other misteaks people make aswell, alot of people don’t know english good.
Most people don’t live in Northern Ontario.
Most Ontarians live in cities.
Humans are descended from apes, humans are apes, and humans are cousins of the other modern apes.
We’re not descended from chimpanzees, but both we and chimpanzees descend from another ape.
Piracy has never been stealing. It’s copyright infringement. The two are completely different.
Also, most people are nearly athiests.
Christians deny the existence of Zeus, Ra, Mars, Shiva, Odin, Thor, Kali, Horus, Tew, Huitzilopochtli, Pele, Erra… Of all the gods and goddesses that people have ever said exist, Christians don’t believe in any of them other than their one god. Even Hindus, who have a pantheon with multiple gods, generally don’t believe in the gods of other religions.
I really dislike using the term “virtual” for online meetings. It implies the meeting isn’t real, or isn’t authentic, or like it’s imaginary. The meeting simply uses video cameras instead of a conference room.
The one freedom the GPL removes is the freedom to be a leech. If you’re linking to GPL code, you are agreeing to follow the same rules as everybody else who has contributed to that code. Nobody gets a pass
Work for hire is a completely different situation. You have to accept the terms of whoever’s paying you to do the work.
This comic is more about someone doing something as a hobby project, or writing their own software not under someone else’s direction, where they have full freedom to choose their own license.
Nijjar was wanted
As in, was a suspect? I assume he was never tried?
The US didn’t inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him.
Yes, the US gets to throw their weight around because nobody wants to go to war against them. It doesn’t make it right.
Nintendo used to be a company that specialized in cards, although these days it’s more associated with carts. They made a very successful transition into gaming, but still make cards in Japan.
I can’t see Hasbro being as effective though. I’m sure Hasbro is just going to try to churn out shovelware that bears their IP so that they can monetize things they own.
The annoying thing is that “I’ll go to work tomorrow” and “I’m going to go to work tomorrow” have subtly different meanings to English speakers, but good luck trying to come up with a rule to explain the difference to someone learning the language.
The spoken language has more vowel sounds than the alphabet has vowels, even when Danish has added three extra (æ, ø and å).
That’s one thing I think English at least did right. Other languages added extra letters and/or diacritics to try to capture all the variations on vowel sounds. But, in most languages there are far more vowel sounds than there are vowels. So, don’t make things unnecessarily complicated by adding extra letters. The one language that seems to do it basically right is Spanish, where there are only about 5 vowel sounds and they use the accent character not to show that a letter is pronounced differently, but just to cue you in on which syllable is accented when it might not be the one you expect. (With a few minor annoying variations, like el and él).
English’s future tense
There are various future tenses.
Future Simple / Simple Future: Will + [base form] – I’ll eat that later; or Going + [infinitive] – I’m going to eat that later.
Future Continuous: Will be + [present participle] – I’ll be eating that later.
Future Perfect: Will have + [past participle] – I’ll have eaten that later.
Future Perfect Continuous: Will have been + [present participle] – I’ll have been eating that later.
There’s also using the present continuous to talk about the future – I’m eating that tomorrow.
Also, the simple present – I eat that tomorrow.
English is flexible, but it’s also weird. There are a lot of distinctions that matter to native English speakers but that are really hard to put into rules. Like “will” vs. “going to”. They have slightly different meanings, but good luck coming up with an easy to understand rule about when to use each version.
The full scene if anyone’s interested.
Carl Weathers is an interesting contrast to Arnold. Arnold got his muscles by focusing on how he looked, on bodybuilding. Weathers developed his physique training for professional gridiron football. He played college football, then in the NFL (coached by John Madden) and CFL. Arnold used his unique physique as a way to get into movies without ever training as an actor. Weathers was studying theatre arts while playing college football, and finally finished the degree in 1974 just after retiring from pro football. He went on to get a master of theatre arts later.
Both of them pivoted extremely successfully to comedy later in their careers, with Weathers doing Happy Gilmore and Arrested Development, and Arnold doing his whole variety of comedy movies.
Also, good to know that Weathers loved this scene:
