i wasn’t suggesting he’s impoverished, but it’s obvious that stymie doesn’t actually pay attention to posters. 290 grew up dirt loving poor and has scrambled to make just enough so that he’s comfortable. he’s a rags to comfort story, but anyone who has paid attention at all would know he isn’t wealthy or making an obscene salary.

thanks 290 for all your hard work.

Real-time and Accurate Detection works with both traditional and automated security measures to respond appropriately to threats.
Designed for Indoor and Outdoor use providing a common system for full range of a layered detection defense.
Detects metallic and non-metallic threat objects such as: guns, assault rifles, knives and explosives.
AI Machine/deep learning to enhance:
sensor fidelity
decision hierarchy

im "AI Machine/deep learning"

quote:

3D means capturing rich information (size, shape, depth) about the detection space. Can detect any material that has a physical form.

so it can't detect ethereal ghost terrorists? bullshit

Imaging means using imaging processing techniques to create images and use these images to train and enhancethe AI machine learning algorithms. Threat libraries stored both on units and Cloud with updates provided on a scheduled basis.

https://libertydefense.com/5-things-you-should-know-about-artificial-intelligence/

quote:

What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence “makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks.” Basically, it’s any software that can behave and do things typically done by a human. This includes seeing, talking, and listening, along with more complex tasks like diagnosing a patient or engineering a building. And it’s incredibly useful and helpful because computers can learn a lot faster than we can.

any software that can behave and do things typically done by a human :allears:

computer: add 1 + 1
me, pointing: AI

quote:

AI is all around you.
Rapid advancements in AI are the result of more powerful computing, massive growth in the availability of digital data, and increasingly sophisticated algorithms. And AI is everywhere. Whenever you ask your phone for directions, order printer paper from a virtual assistant, or get help from an online chatbot, you’re “speaking” to an AI-powered device.

It’s estimated that chatbots will power 85% of customer service by 2020.

you know, all those things real actual people do, like "order printer paper from a virtual assistant" or "have an actually useful conversation with a customer service chatbot"

quote:

AI doesn’t just solve tech problems.
Whether it’s in healthcare, retail, or professional sports, AI is used to solve problems we didn’t even know we had. AI applications are acting as personal health care assistants reminding you to take your pills and exercise. In retail, AI improves personalized recommendations when you’re online shopping. And in the sports world, AI is used to capture game images and provide reporting that allows coaches to optimize field position and strategy.

well i definitely agree with the whole "AI is used to solve problems we didn’t even know we had" bit

quote:

AI and Machine Learning aren’t the same thing.
While you may have heard the terms Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ML) used interchangeably, they’re not one and the same. ML is a specific subset of AI that trains a machine how to learn. It’s when a computer system is fed large amounts of data, which it then reviews to find patterns and draw conclusions. Netflix is a prime example. The more you watch, the better the system knows which type of TV shows and movies to recommend the next time you log on.

The AI market is projected to become a $190 billion industry by 2025.

oh boy i better invest now!!!

can we talk about something besides the worst poster's deeply offensive poor person blackface [poorface?]

like how uber is trying to pull an airbnb and make itself the protector of privacy by suing to not have to share which ponds and canals their dockless scooters and bikes end up in?

quote:

“Jump riders in Los Angeles have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the trip data created from riding on our bikes and scooters. Independent privacy experts have clearly and repeatedly asserted that a customer’s geolocation is personally identifiable information, and - consistent with a recent legal opinion by the California legislative counsel - we believe that LADOT’s requirements to share sensitive on-trip data compromises our customers’ expectations of data privacy and security. Therefore, we had no choice but to pursue a legal challenge, and we sincerely hope to arrive at a solution that allows us to provide reasonable data and work constructively with the City of Los Angeles while protecting the privacy of our riders.”
