Now that AI are starting to make moral decisions, programmers may have to decide which morals.

Now that AI are starting to make moral decisions, programmers may have to decide which morals.

MIT Tech Reviews talks about applying a moral study to Machine Learning decisions like how to drive a car during an accident. If there is no other paths, should the AI aim for a large crowd of people or a single pedestrian.  If it is single pedestrian, should you aim for larger or smaller person? Older or younger? These are definite moral decisions the developer will have to program into the AI.

Bob Nystrom bemoans variable names that are simply too long.

I wholeheartedly agree with him.  Include important details in the name, but not info that can be assumed by context.

Wanted: A good home for very complete collection of original Inside Mac developer books.  

Is there a university or computer museum that would like to have this collection? The collection includes almost everything Apple published. I do not have the space to keep these anymore, and really need to pass them on. This time I mean it!  Please contact me directly, thank you!

Online deceased friends

I am starting to have more than a few links/friendship with deceased friends. What does everyone do with accounts like that? I don't really want to Unfriend someone for this reason. Nor do I want to have Facebook or LinkedIn suggest that since it been awhile, I should send a message to this old friend. That is slightly spooky. Thoughts anyone?
