Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Machine learning that's put into use other than creating fugly drawings no one fucking asks for about is actually incredibly useful. But it's all very boring from a consumer viewpoint that boils down to "streamlining industrial processes." It's well within reach to have an algorithm designed to manage how much paper printers within a building use up and when to add more paper so there's as little downtime as possible, but most people don't have to worry about managing 100+ printers. I saw a short clip of some Chinese port using ML to streamline port operations. The algorithms are set to recognize what a shipping container is and where to load and unload the container. Since the containers are standardized, it's not hard to train the algorithms with past data.
Fair, but that doesn't exactly sound more efficient than a person changing data inputs in a proprietary software written for that purpose.
