... is that COVID-19 looks like a JIRA ticket.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

After switching jobs, it took me a few days to get into the procedures and new software etc. I was unfamiliar with bugzilla, and hadn't yet started investigating it, but in every standup, there were references to bugzilla ticket numbers. There were frequent references to the "84" problems: Other numbers were a lot higher, so I assumed that ticket 84 was some really old problem still waiting for its solution.
After a few days, I discovered that the "84" problems were related to the conformance tester we were using, manufactured by the the company named "AT4 wireless".

Reminds me of a contract I took in Birmingham, many years ago.
Everyone kept referring to an office in Borsleeth that I would have to visit, to look at their processes. I was new to Brum, so had no idea where that was.
It wasn't until I was about to get in the car and drive there that I asked for the exact address, to look it up in the A to Z[^] (there were no internet maps or smartphones, at the time), and found it was in Balsall Heath, which I drove through every day.

Face detection is performed on the device, and is fast enough to be used in real-time applications, such as video manipulation.

Big girls. What wasn't reported about the Aussie taser victim, was he was sporting a Goanna as a weapon.

So I'll bet he describes himself as a dragon-tamer, while he's drinking his piddling little, lady-sized "schooners" of watery beer.
(The trick with talking to Australians is that you know it's going to end up in a punch-up, so you might as well get it over with.)

Just reading through an article on Amazon and mentions the rekognistion tool, and that some "civil right activists claim it could lead to wrongful arrests".
Its a tool. Yes, I understand if someone dumb and just relies on a tool 100%, that is on the human misusing the tool.
A human is still involved in the process.
It probably took a long time for CCTV black/white video recordings and camera to be tolerated. But it always sounds like person recognition tools are far worse.
My basic understanding: At a big stadium you can have police focused on more intensive tasks then tons scanning the crowd.
You still have a few scanning the crowd.
Face detect tool identifies someone of high interest.
Info is directed to nearest officer to approach.
Office now should handle the rest as if they spotted the person them self.
End.
If a wrongful arrest happens, that is the fault of the existing system in place.
If the computer made a lock or release decision, then I would be against it. That is NOT what it is being used for.
"oh, but their are cases where judges use machine-learning tools to make decisions". Again, that is a poor judge mis understanding how the tool should be used - weather that is lack of training or been trained in a missleading way by the sellers of the tool.
Now let me use this to better detect my cat to allow into the house. I still have a 10% fail that the neighbors cat is being allowed in. both tabbies and I think its something to do with the lighting

Have you seen the results of tests of the systems?
They make far too many mistakes -- mistakes which could result in your being locked up in a police cell for a day or two, until these processes that you appear to have so much trust in are completed in your favour.
... That's IF they are completed in your favour; otherwise you could end up being locked up a lot longer.
But I suppose that's OK, as long as it only happens to other people, eh?

No, the person who does not use the brain is making the mistake. Never trust a computer.

We know that, but the people using this software tend not to know that. And when they don't use their brains, they have immunity.

... Is the person who has been swamped with misinformation about how perfect a system is, by the corporations that make the product.
And bear in mind that we're talking about cops, not rocket surgeons.

I've been using that expression for years. Perhaps you noticed it at some point?
Or, a frightening option, indeed: at some level we think alike.

I picked it up in the mid 80s (it was love at first sight), from someone on the alt.english.usage newsgroup, so it was knocking around at for least 20 years before I joined CP.
