...problem.) A better camera wouldn't necessarily have guaranteed a better result, because there's another bottleneck: computing power. The constant flow of images is usually too much for the software to handle, so it downsamples them, or reduces the level of detail, before analyzing them. That's one reason why a person watching the YouTube video can easily make out the black employee's face, while the computer can't. "A racially inclusive training set won't help if the larger platform is not capable of seeing those details," says Steve Russell, founder and chairman of 3VR, which creates...
...notes that this system has gone largely unaltered for 40 years, despite other changes that have taken place in the economy: nationalization, socialization, privatization and pro-market reforms. Grémont says that such enduring élitism is difficult to challenge in normal economic times, which is the main reason some French executives continue to fear that the current global recession could morph into something more serious: a 1930s-style meltdown capable of shaking the entire economic structure to its foundations.

...final point is that health care was going to be hard in any environment with any Congress. There's a reason why seven Presidents and seven Congresses have failed to do it. It is a massive undertaking. It involves every special interest imaginable. The American people know that the status quo isn't working, and yet sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. So it is very easy to caricature any efforts at reform as negative...
...ways - the Wall Street battle - to start building trust in a small way. People have had 30 years of propaganda telling them that government doesn't work. And my theory, Joe, has always been, A) A lot of people's skepticism is entirely justified. B) There's no reason that government should inherently be inefficient. C) At a time when we've got such enormous problems and such limited resources, people are going to be looking to government for help. But they want to make sure that their dollars are well spent, because those are the same decisions that they...
