> You probably have nothing to worry about with air travel.

Well, the conclusion is already made in the statistics, and air travel is the safest, yes, but it's worrying that it's safe despite the enormous fallacies, despite the insane pressure of market forces.

A very eye-opening thing is to watch what the pilots should have done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixM_cwSLcQ&t=16m55s

Runaway stabilizer scenario has associated memory items (meaning the pilot must have the checklist committed to memory). There are big wheels that turn, with noise and a big visibility marking.

This was Boeing's initial defense too, that the pilots fucked up, because disabling any electronics works the same way. (There's a cutoff switch.) So if something is doing something, shut off the power, rotate the wheels manually.

And in this regard Boeing is right. Pilots decisionmaking was suboptimal. However, it is Boeing's fault that they opted for a no-training-required strategy.

A similar WTF is that pilots don't keep up with the aviation industry news. How - the fuck - can you pilot a plane that you know nothing about (except that your license is valid for it)!?

Again, that list is hugely weighted by frequency of comment. Someone who posts more than almost anyone else will end up vastly higher on the list, even if the majority of comments are not salty. People whose job it is to post on this forum, and particularly to step in where things get negative, is almost sure to manage to rank on the list.

And of course, if you click on him, you can see his "saltiest" responses to people. Some are arguably decently salty, though many are pretty polite too.
Haha, hi Matt! Sure, just messaged you.
I tried to be clever but serious!
I like the idea, but I'm very skeptical of the implementation. My saltiest comments per the tool are not remotely salty, and I'm sure I have many saltier comments. Turns out NLP is hard.

FWIW, my salt score is -0.09 ;)
IMO, the problem isn't "the kid got lost in IKEA". The problem is "the kid was abducted in IKEA".

We've got pretty good systems in place for dealing with kids who are merely lost. Dealing with kids who are abducted is another story, and a tracker definitely helps there. It's a sad reality that we have to worry about that situation still.

Forced to close by economic forces, not legislative or political pressure. That isn't terrible at all, that's the basis of the capitalist, quasi-competitive economy which these companies champion so much. The most viable service wins. Nothing authoritarian about that.

Apple and Google probably feel very differently. We've already seen them fight it out, wait till they join together to start keeping their boots on the up and comers.

You are assuming Google can't make enough money from scraping location data to pay for Google maps. I doubt that. Adding ads just makes them more money on top.

Why should the government have any say into how I write my home automation scripts or even my externally facing decision making?

Autonomy is, as almost everything, not binary. And no, most children can not handle adult level autonomy at age 10, but if some child can, then they should be allowed. Frankly, I wouldn't be very surprised if the amount of 10 years old that can handle adult level autonomy is greater than the amount of 25 year olds who can't.

Working with "problematic" kids I came to a few conclusions, all of which I obviously can't know to be correct, but still. The first and foremost was approximately this: One should almost never assume what children can, and can't do. The individual differences seem to be wider than the oceans, and the only way to really know is to teach, trust, and fearless observation.

Most kids will know if you don't trust them, I've seen some 6 years old be "mortally" afraid on an adventure course for kids, as long as their parents were in view. When they could no longer see their parents, their courage grew by the second, and they did their small zipline with the proudest smile one can imagine.

It's quite scary, as a parent, to observe the power we wield. That our fears can directly create fear in our children, even if we try to hide them. These parents were supportive and encouraging, but they had their own fears, fears which they couldn't hide well enough, and the kids knew instantly, and instinctively.
Or you could just use it occasionally when you want to give your kids a bit more freedom than normal, but you're still a bit of a worrier. There is a state between complete lack of oversight and Black Mirror's Arkangel.

Option four, have an external standard that is neither based on the community nor the individual. But the problem is, that standard has to be right. If it's wrong, then it's going to be used to censor things that contradict it, and therefore enforce the wrongness. So you need a clear standard of what's right. Christianity once furnished such a standard for the West, but no longer. The closest we have now is the law, but that's halfway to option one.
IBM will not fail, Oracle will fail first than IBM and that's unlikely to happen.

You see, they are NOT tech companies. They have something you would call "tech", they sell something that looks like "tech" but they really solve problems people with access to large amounts of money have.

In other words, they produce cushy and warm beds for C-level execs to have a good night of sleep, and everyone needs some bed to sleep every night..

Technology is a risky and volatile business and IBM has more than 100 years in business.
My last employer was an IBM customer, so of course we recieved all kinds of material in the mail or marketing calls trying to sell us on 'Watson'. It got so bad our president (who's outof touch with tech)( called a meeting to see "how we are going to use watson"

The Mueller Report Text
It is my feeling that sentiment analysis has a ways to go. Here are a few of the comments I've made that the system has described as among my saltiest:

Oh, sorry, "nm" means "nanometer" to me, but of course nautical miles. (Score: -0.5. Comment is entirely taking responsibility for misinterpreting someone)

Well, if he was trying 1M combinations every 40 seconds, for $7 per hour, and he didn't need to use hundreds of dollars per hour of commute time, let's say 10 hours = $70. That's 900M combinations per hour, so 9B combinations in 10 hours. If he was trying combinations using upper-case characters, lower-case characters, numbers, and let's say 20 symbols, that's 82 possible combinations for each one. We'd expect him to find the password after exhausting half of the search set, so we want log base 82 of 18B. That suggests 5 characters. If he let's say just used lower-case characters and numbers, that's log base 36 of 18B, which suggests 7 characters. (Score: -0.32. Comment is 100% technical, with no meaningful sentiment.)

Sorry, I submitted this article earlier with the wrong link. (Score: -0.27. System appears to regard legitimate, largely bloodless apologies as salty.)

Note that the article is from approximately 20 years ago. (Score: -0.24. This is to some degree a critical comment, but it's a short, straightforward statement of fact.)

Probably too late to reply, but I mean things like :ets.method or :queue.whatever. (Score: -0.20. Probably it's cueing off the first phrase?)
"Forced to close by economic forces" is not what the other poster was saying. Competition is good. And yes, Apple and Google will put up a fight because that's how competition works.

I debate your point that you are not running their future; you're setting up the foundation for both parent and child that this is normal and to be expected. Also the assumption of privacy is tenuous given this experience and all the other terrible IoT implementations that have come to light
What's your definition of 'salty'? I think you can definitely be politely salty, and dang's comments are all saying (at least) 'don't do that' which seems to fit.
Kinda off topic but I find it incredibly worrying the lack of privacy people have online when it comes to advertising. There is creepy retargeting and then there is retargeting to specific individuals.

Right now I can find just about anyone’s email, seed them with an ad pixel, show them hyperpersonalized landing pages and follow them online knowing exactly who they are, allowing me to tailor ads to individual level.

If that doesn’t creep you out, what would?
Unfortunately, we don't have a good way to measure the difference between "few sick days due to good health" and "few sick days because came into office sick".

Or, for that matter, "many sick days due to unsolvable chronic illness but doing their best" and "many sick days due to eating an entire bag of Doritos during lunch and feeling ill".

>I have zero trust in IBM to market their ML products correctly so that proper checks are maintained.

That's a problem, yes, but it's not a new one. Vendor management has been around for decades, centuries, millennia maybe. If I contract out part of my job, it's still my responsibility to make sure the contractors are doing their job right. "But their marketing said..." or "but their sales guys said..." is not an excuse and everyone knows that.

Doctors noticing that Watson is wrong is expected. Doctors missing the fact that Waston is wrong is a failure of that doctor and the doctor who didn't check the results is the responsible party. The checks don't come from Watson, the checks come from humans who oversee Watson.

If Watson is wrong often enough that it's hindering the doctors, then kicking it out is the right call. But there can never be an argument of "Watson got the diagnosis wrong and that's why the patient died" because ultimately IBM is still just a vendor and Watson is still just a contractor.

I was using Lockheed-Martin as an example of a "clearly immoral" company, you could replace it with any other example you can think of and the point would be the same (that at some point you have to accept that ignoring your morals in order to get a paycheck means you don't really have those morals).

As for my personal view, it's fairly clear that Lockheed-Martin props up (through lobbying) and profits (through government contracts) from the US war machine -- which in turn has killed millions of innocent civilians. And then there's the contractors that Lockheed-Martin has provided to government agencies to further strengthen the surveillance tools of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and so on. So, I think Lockheed-Martin was a good example of a "clearly immoral" company.

EDIT: You changed your comment after I responded to it. I don't think the ethics of hypothetical magic missiles is a super useful conversation to have (changes in technology don't change our underlying ethics, they just change what ethical questions are being asked).

On the question about unintended consequences, obviously in wars you can't guarantee zero civilian casualties and innocent bloodshed is inevitable (though still unjustifiable). But the US is currently engaged in several illegal wars of aggression (which is a crime under international law) and clearly planning to engage in several more. Personally, I think the "unintended consequences are inevitable in war" defense isn't available to you if the war itself was illegal from the outset.
I can also do the cube faster. That's completely separate from how easy the problem is to solve for a novice.

Yes, obviously the solver has to understand what the desired solved state is in each case.

If you can't see that sorting a deck of cards is easier, I doubt I can explain it to you, but the metric I'd use is give each problem to 100 people, and see how well each group does.
Boeing does not make a plane small enough to compete with the A220, really.

The A220 competes with the ERJ-175/190 series. An A319 carries slightly more passengers than the largest A220, and the smallest 737NG carries 30-50 more passengers.

Boeing has never competed in the small regional jet market, and their recent attempt at a partnership with Embraer is their response to the A220.
My understanding of the word lines up pretty well with the Merriam-Webster definition (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/salty): feeling or showing resentment towards a person or situation; bitter.

By that standard, just telling someone not to do something wouldn't be salty. Salty is telling someone not to do something because only an idiot would do that.

Once you have the job a master's degree is a master's degree. If your employer (esp. large ones) has some benefits in place for possessing a master's you will qualify. However when you apply for jobs hiring managers may not know what your master's degree (or Ph.D. for that matter) in physics entails.
How is saltiness trained? Are there readily available sentiment analysis tools or did the author train it himself? Anyway, cool and entertaining idea :) PS: not just seeing the saltiest but also the sweetest comments of a person would be nice.
No, we don't have to worry about this situation, and using them to justify this technology is wrong.

Child abduction by a non-parent is exceptionally rare. Each year there are around 200 of them, of which 90% make it home safely. That means that your child's risk of being abducted is about 0.00027%. That's absolutely no basis to justify this awful technology on, and no reason for you to worry as a parent. Not to mention: the abductor could just take your spyware watch off of the kid.

Agreed. It looks like they went through a dictionary and scored the words on a negativity/positivity axis, and then just took the mean of all the scoring words in a post.

I have written posts very much saltier than the ones scored as saltiest by this ranking algorithm, possibly because I didn't use inherently negative vocabulary to express a highly negative sentiment.

It's a fun party trick, but its usefulness is limited without semantic analysis or live-human scoring.

20.23% of my posts are rated as "salty". I wonder what percentage of scoring words are rated as negative.

Sentiment analysis is overall a dangerous way for social media players to punt around 'things we don't like', whatever that may be. You will end up shadowbanned on whatever social media platform you use, because you're not posting cat photos and other prosaic content that people trying to sell insurance policies, sugar water, and watches are okay with.
