Public #policymaking: from AI to decomputing | Joseph Rowntree Foundation
▻https://www.jrf.org.uk/ai-for-public-good/public-policymaking-from-ai-to-decomputing
AI, whether in the form of plain old neural networks or Large Language Models like ChatGPT, learns its patterns from the world as it is. While these #algorithms can find a path between messy input data and desired outcomes, the underlying mechanism is one of reductive #correlation not causal analysis; there’s nothing based on how things happen, just that certain patterns seem to reoccur. AI’s complexity introduces a fundamental opacity to the link between input and output, making it impossible to be sure exactly why it generated a particular result, removing any route to due process. This is compounded in real-world applications, where AI’s apparently authoritative outputs can become self-fulfilling, a machine learning algorithm labelling a family as ‘troubled’ can set up a feedback loop of (...)

#algorithms are breaking how we think
Ce podcast explore le concept de la "complaisance algorithmique", défini par l’orateur comme une tendance croissante à laisser les algorithmes des plateformes numériques, en particulier les réseaux sociaux et les moteurs de recherche, déterminer ce que les utilisateurs voient et consomment en ligne, au détriment de leur propre curiosité, de leur pensée critique et de leur capacité à rechercher activement l’information. L’orateur introduit le sujet en démontrant la facilité avec laquelle on peut trouver des informations détaillées sur un objet ancien (une radio vintage) en utilisant des techniques de recherche en ligne basiques et l’observation attentive. Il utilise cet exemple pour contraster avec ce qu’il perçoit comme une perte de cette capacité et de cette volonté chez de nombreux (...)

Title: The United States in four colors Keywords: #Algorithms #Coloring #Constraints Author: Philippe Rivière Date: April 2021 A mathematical theorem demonstrates that four colors are enough to color any map (without two contiguous regions sharing the same color, of course). In practice, coloring can be done by hand with patience, or by algorithmic techniques of “logic programming/answer set programming” or “constraint programming”. To compute this map, we used the Clingo solver (...) #Map_collection

How I got Rejected by 30+ Startups Before Landing a “Dream” Job
▻https://hackernoon.com/how-i-got-rejected-by-30-startups-before-landing-a-dream-job-6582e42aca7
I recently went through a job change and would like to post my experience. My post got a lot of people interested on reddit.TL;DR: Lot of companies do not focus on good engineering. Prepare. The algorithm rounds were a hit-or-miss for me.Always negotiate.Some facts:I resigned and decided to take a 2 month break to completely focus on job-huntingInterviewed (i.e. at least 1 online round) with 35+ companies. Mostly startups (seed to series A).Mostly in India. ~10 in EU, Japan, and other overseas countries through stack overflow careers. I don’t think my then 8k SO reputation helped out.I had linked to my medium profile in my CV and in 3 or 4 interviews (after initial screening rounds), we talked about my (somewhat controversial) blog Can’t hack your way to the topI practiced mostly using (...)

Meet Max — The Algorithmic #crypto #wallet & Monitoring Service

Meet Max — The Algorithmic Crypto Wallet & Monitoring ServiceMore Than a Digital PocketJust so you’re aware, this is my very first time using Max. I’m logged into my portal right now but have yet to click on any of the Dropil project’s algorithmic products.I typically evaluate a product in advance before sharing its details but thought it’d be fun to have a fresh take, so this one’s meant to be a first-impression experience.I do however know that Max is one of four bots put together by the Dropil team. Max is the smart wallet that can stash proceeds harvested from arbitraging Arthur, or one of two virtual traders — Jade (currently in waitlist mode) and Dex 3.Speaking of Dex, that virtual, autopilot algo is why I’m writing this article in the first place. I spent 45 days — which equates to 3 (...)

Thoughts on Decentralization and what a Centralized Future Might HoldA History of CentralizationThe internet is like a country broken into several kingdoms. It started as a large pool of tribes and rag-tag communities, but a few parties realized what was being generated by these figurative villages. At which point they either intentionally or unintentionally took control of that resource: data.It’s happened throughout history, the larger and more organized communities realized they could gain resources and power by acquiring new territories. So they did. History is a bloody tapestry of conquests, crusades, and wars fought over whatever the flavor of the century was in terms of resources. Land, silk, salt, gold, there’re plenty of reasons to pillage. The same thing has been happening over (...)
