🇦🇺 📖 **Have Men Really Stopped Reading? We Take A Deeper Dive Into The Data**

"_It looks like reading statistics vary greatly depending on how the question is asked. Multiple surveys show that a significant proportion of males are still reading books, though they’re doing so less frequently than they used to. And it’s clear that if there is a crisis of declining reading rates, it is affecting men and women, boys and girls._"

"hey so how would #youtube's #ai be able to flag channels based on "appearing to be a #child" in the first place. how would youtube get that data to train their ai on. how would they get that #data without. collecting data on #kids. which is something they explicitly. are not allowed to do."

Currently in the process of moving flat, boxes are packed, furniture is sorted, plants are secured...

But the data is still NOT REPLICATED
Trying to deploy two additional Control Planes in another location in a last effort to not go dark when the rack here goes out for the short time of moving

Moving is such a unique IT crisis of its own

My pet theory is still that Khan Noonien Singh settled down a half century after his defeat by Kirk, chilled out from Manopause, and then got into cybernetics.

He settled down into a quaint little colony, changed his name to Noonien Soong, and had some robo-offspring.

Also,

🎼 Lore lingered last in line for positronic brains,
and the one he got was sorta rotten and insane!
He spent the 2340s between plexiglass sheets,
life limped along at sub-warp speeds! 🎸

He's Lore, he's Lore,
He's in my head!

he's Lore, he's Lore,
I might be dead! 🎵

More and more reports that ‘AI’ is hitting a wall. I think that it is smart that organizations return to ‘boring’ tabular data and traditional machine-learning. Make sure that you have a good data foundation in place. Further, think cheap and explainable techniques like logistic regression, trees etc. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit (i.e., 90-95% of all ‘AI’ at most organizations)…
