Debiasing of AI for Self-Driving Cars – AI Trends

Some people seem to think that computers are great because they are objective, they are unbiased, they are absent of any prejudices. Computers are all about numbers and number crunching. They are neutral when it comes to human biases.What a crock!Computers are what we make of them. They are created by humans and thus carry into their inner workings the foibles of humans.

NYTimes: Watching Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Katia From 22,000 Miles Above Earth

Watching Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Katia From 22,000 Miles Above Earth https://nyti.ms/2xWvV9V

Absolutely stunning visuals. The dynamics of the hurricanes are so clearly visible.

Given all the extreme weather we are seeing in the US, India and world over, I started doing some reading on global weather and climate change. 

Whenever there is a nonmonotonic graph with knees or inversions I am always intrigued. For example, temperature does not fall steadily with altitude. There are in fact two inversions. The outermost layer is in fact the hottest! But it is also the thinnest so it may feel much colder than the temperature suggests. Temperature is just the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules. But since there are only a few molecules per cubic meter, the total incident energy on a body there would be small.

By the way this reminds me that huge red giant stars like Betelgeuse are in fact very thin in density even though they are very hot. So I think a properly sheilded space ship could fly right through. Am I correct my astronomy friends?

Things are not always what they seem!
