Premier League semiautomated VAR offside: All you need to know
The Premier League spent two years testing a number of artificial intelligence-based semiautomated offside technology (SAOT) providers, and now it’s ready to be rolled out. UEFA was first to introduce SAOT in the Champions League from the start of the 2022-23 season group stage, quickly followed by FIFA for the World Cup in Qatar. SAOT made its debut in English football in the FA Cup fifth round…

Hey, Kevin with The Automated Parking Company here. We're here at our UCLA in Westwood, California project. It's a really interesting one.
We're doing a tandem, three high, so two levels high above and one level below ground. Solution is our puzzle solution. We're going to be installing about 32 spaces. We're out here taking the measurements today so we can get it into manufacturing and get it out here and get it installed.
So we'll be installing this one late 2024. Part of the process of getting that in and making sure we have all the measurements correctly. Anyway, signing off here at UCLA, heading to another project. Talk to you guys soon.

Monster World IV (1994)
Tumblr media
So y'know, I did review the remake of this a short while ago and decided it'd be criminal if I didn't actually ever complete the original version. So here I am, today a better person; probably; for having done so. My pristine lack of a criminal record intact.
Said review covers basically my feelings about the game; it's fine, enough, but dungeons being essentially double-length kinda dulls the excitement somewhat. And the ice pyramid is way longer than it needs to be, in spite of its rather excellent logic puzzles with the statues. And so on, so forth, so what?
Tumblr media
Well this here original's probably a better game than the remake. "Probably" -- not being able to save anywhere reveals that perhaps the old sage who saves game is maybe a little too infrequent, and having to manually select and use inventory items instead of the remake applying some context-sensitive semiautomation is, well, it's an inconvenience until it isn't and death occurs because OG blue pepelegoo doesn't do it for you. Also you can only hold one of those, but really the game is kinda balanced so that you don't really need the stockpile the remake version allows?
Speaking of which, I could swear that bosses were a bit less slapdash and hope-for-the-best in the original? Maybe I got familiar with them in playing the remake. I don't know.
Largely the same game, but with ever-more charming art and colours, I'd elevate this half a point over what I scored the remake.
4/5

Challenge: Certification Attestation Optimization Through Blockchain - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/challenge-certification-attestation-optimization-through-blockchain-technology-org/
Challenge: Certification Attestation Optimization Through Blockchain - Technology Org
The Ministry of Labour (MoL) in Qatar seeks innovative solutions to digitize and optimize the certification attestation process across governmental entities, aiming for automation, minimal human intervention and errors, efficient timeframes, enhanced security, and an improved experience. 
The initial focus is on proof of concept for degrees awarded within Qatar, with potential for future expansion to externally awarded degrees.

Universities and higher educational institutions play a vital role in creating opportunities and fostering economic growth in Qatar by providing skilled individuals who meet job market requirements. The current manual verification process of qualification certificates poses challenges in terms of number of personnel and processing time required.
The legacy system used by universities and government entities for the issuance, verification, traceability, and provenance of degrees and certificates is semiautomated, costly, time-consuming, complicated and prone to human error.
The degree attestation process can easily be forged, and fake degrees can be illegitimately verified through the existing system. Blockchain technology serves various potential advantages in higher education, learning, and development, such as enabling students’ certifications to be quickly attested and easily verified securely.
They could also allow to quickly analyze and identify forge proof versions, as well as guarantee the secrecy and integrity of their mark certificates. The main motivation behind this project is to address the issues and challenges of degree attestation and verification in Qatar using blockchain technology.
Submissions to this Challenge must be received by Nov 30, 2023.

Washington, DC, is the home base of the most powerful government on earth. It’s also home to 690,000 people—and 29 obscure algorithms that shape their lives. City agencies use automation to screen housing applicants, predict criminal recidivism, identify food assistance fraud, determine if a high schooler is likely to drop out, inform sentencing decisions for young people, and many other things.
That snapshot of semiautomated urban life comes from a new report from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). The nonprofit spent 14 months investigating the city’s use of algorithms and found they were used across 20 agencies, with more than a third deployed in policing or criminal justice. For many systems, city agencies would not provide full details of how their technology worked or was used. The project team concluded that the city is likely using still more algorithms that they were not able to uncover.
The findings are notable beyond DC because they add to the evidence that many cities have quietly put bureaucratic algorithms to work across their departments, where they can contribute to decisions that affect citizens’ lives.
Government agencies often turn to automation in hopes of adding efficiency or objectivity to bureaucratic processes, but it’s often difficult for citizens to know they are at work, and some systems have been found to discriminate and lead to decisions that ruin human lives. In Michigan, an unemployment-fraud detection algorithm with a 93 percent error rate caused 40,000 false fraud allegations. A 2020 analysis by Stanford University and New York University found that nearly half of federal agencies are using some form of automated decisionmaking systems.
EPIC dug deep into one city’s use of algorithms to give a sense of the many ways they can influence citizens’ lives and encourage people in other places to undertake similar exercises. Ben Winters, who leads the nonprofit’s work on AI and human rights, says Washington was chosen in part because roughly half the city’s residents identify as Black.
“More often than not, automated decisionmaking systems have disproportionate impacts on Black communities,” Winters says. The project found evidence that automated traffic-enforcement cameras are disproportionately placed in neighborhoods with more Black residents.
Cities with significant Black populations have recently played a central role in campaigns against municipal algorithms, particularly in policing. Detroit became an epicenter of debates about face recognition following the false arrests of Robert Williams and Michael Oliver in 2019 after algorithms misidentified them. In 2015, the deployment of face recognition in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody led to some of the first congressional investigations of law enforcement use of the technology.
EPIC hunted algorithms by looking for public disclosures by city agencies and also filed public records requests, requesting contracts, data sharing agreements, privacy impact assessments and other information. Six out of 12 city agencies responded, sharing documents such as a $295,000 contract with Pondera Systems, owned by Thomson Reuters, which makes fraud detection software called FraudCaster used to screen food-assistance applicants. Earlier this year, California officials found that more than half of 1.1 million claims by state residents that Pondera’s software flagged as suspicious were in fact legitimate.
But, in general, agencies were unwilling to share information about their systems, citing trade secrecy and confidentiality. That made it nearly impossible to identify every algorithm used in DC. Earlier this year, a Yale Law School project made a similar attempt to count algorithms used by state agencies in Connecticut but was also hampered by claims of trade secrecy.
EPIC says governments can help citizens understand their use of algorithms by requiring disclosure anytime a system makes an important decision about a person’s life. And some elected officials have favored the idea of requiring public registries of automated decisionmaking systems used by governments. Last month, lawmakers in Pennsylvania, where a screening algorithm had accused low-income parents of neglect, proposed an algorithm registry law.
But Winters and others warn against thinking that algorithm registries automatically lead to accountability. New York City appointed an “algorithm management and policy officer” in 2020, a new position intended to inform city agencies how to use algorithms, and the public about how the city uses automated decisionmaking.
The officer’s initial report said that city agencies use 16 systems with a potentially substantial impact on people’s rights, with only three used by the NYPD. But a separate disclosure by the NYPD under a city law regulating surveillance showed that the department uses additional forms of automation for tasks like reading license plates and analyzing social media activity.
Roughly two years ago the cities of Amsterdam and Helsinki announced plans to make comprehensive lists of their own municipal algorithms, as well as the data sets used to train them and the city employees responsible. The idea was to help citizens seek redress from a human if they felt a system had problems.
But to date, Helsinki’s AI register largely serves as marketing for a set of city services chatbots. The Amsterdam Algorithm Register currently lists only systems for detecting illegal vacation rentals, automated parking control, and an algorithm used for reporting issues to the city. Together the two cities list a total of 10 automated decisionmaking systems, despite the fact that a document released by Amsterdam and Helsinki officials says they jointly had more than 30 AI projects underway in late 2020.
Researchers from the University of Oxford, Alan Turing Institute in London, and Cardiff University said in a paper last year that Amsterdam’s AI registry omits some of the most concerning or problematic tools encountered by the residents of Amsterdam, calling the list “ethics theater.” In the city, algorithms can also decide where kids go to school or where to send police. The authors concluded that the registry project appeared intentionally focused only on a limited, innocuous set of algorithms.
Winters says algorithm registries can work, if rules or laws are in place to require government departments take them seriously. “It’s a great format,” he says of Amsterdam's approach. “But it’s extremely incomplete.”

Pallet truck scale with AISI 304 forks
Onboard technology is supporting pallet vans emerge as complicated machines with an array of state-of-the-art talents. Just a few examples mentioned through the experts we contacted consist of technology that automatically slows the unit all through cornering for better manage and cargo balance, software that forces pallet vehicles to travel with expanded forks, and onboard diagnostics and shows that offer remarks on truck and battery performance without delay to the operator.
Tumblr media
Another instance: Toyota offers an operator keypad that permits up to ten unique operator logins. Each operator lithium pallet truck login can have its personal maximum speed and acceleration settings, customizing the pallet truck for operators with exceptional ability tiers or for exclusive operating areas within a facility.
Telematics solutions, which wirelessly send data and instructions to and from raise vans, are incorporating electric pallet vehicles into the commercial Internet of Things. Just as the era has executed for fleets of large forklifts, telematics structures such as Raymond's iWarehouse, Yale Vision, Hyster's Tracker, and others are establishing up a trove of previously unavailable statistics about pallet trucks.
For example, Crown Equipment Corp.'s InfoLink, that's available on all of its electric powered pallet vans, "provides clients with records to make higher commercial enterprise selections and enhance the lowest line, especially around asset utilization, safety, and productivity," says Steve Harshbarger, the employer's advertising product manager.
Pallet vans are also pioneers within the robotics revolution. Crown's semiautomated QuickPick Remote, managed by means of a wi-fi signal transmitted from a special glove, follows along an operator, disposing of the want to step on and rancid and boosting choosing productivity.
Raymond's Courier, Yale's "Driven through Balyo," Linde's T-Matic, and a number of other robot pallet vehicles move even further, functioning like automatic guided motors (AGVs) and shifting across the warehouse independently to pick out up and drop off pallets. They use a selection of technology—lasers, imaginative and prescient steerage systems, GPS, or different strategies, relying on the producer—to map and navigate their environment.
An exciting question is whether or not the growing sophistication of pallet truck layout and era has had an considerable impact on the gadget's rate, reliability, and maintenance costs. Both Pedriana and Rice say present day pallet vans' preliminary charge, upkeep expenses, and lifespan were notably steady with those visible in latest years.
They additionally suggest that the equipment's delivered application, value, and operational expenses savings are the maximum important metrics. Others have a distinct take. McNeill's opinion is that, commonly speaking, an increase in functionality will mean an boom in initial product price. "However, thanks to reduced renovation needs and other running charges, the stop person in the end gets a greater fee-effective answer over the lifestyles of the product," he says.
One characteristic turned into stated more than some other as having had a beneficial effect on protection expenses and productiveness: the advent of three-section AC motor generation in pallet vans. 
AC motor and controller generation, blended with the right commercial batteries, facilitates manage the power used and offers controlled acceleration whilst operators are transferring substances at some point of a warehouse, says Perry Ardito, widespread manager of warehouse products at MCFA, which offers Mitsubishi, Cat, and Jungheinrich raise vans in North America.

sure why not, there's only been decades of near misses and false alarms, let's add a doomed-to-fail critical path component to increase risk in the literal doomsday machine instead of working on dismantling the stockpiles through mutual treaties:
Strangelove redux: US experts propose having AI control nuclear weapons
Hypersonic missiles, stealthy cruise missiles, and weaponized artificial intelligence have so reduced the amount of time that decision makers in the United States would theoretically have to respond to a nuclear attack that, two military experts say, it’s time for a new US nuclear command, control, and communications system. Their solution? Give artificial intelligence control over the launch button.
In an article in War on the Rocks titled, ominously, “America Needs a ‘Dead Hand,’” US deterrence experts Adam Lowther and Curtis McGiffin propose a nuclear command, control, and communications setup with some eerie similarities to the Soviet system referenced in the title to their piece. The Dead Hand was a semiautomated system developed to launch the Soviet Union’s nuclear arsenal under certain conditions, including, particularly, the loss of national leaders who could do so on their own. Given the increasing time pressure Lowther and McGiffin say US nuclear decision makers are under, “[I]t may be necessary to develop a system based on artificial intelligence, with predetermined response decisions, that detects, decides, and directs strategic forces with such speed that the attack-time compression challenge does not place the United States in an impossible position.”

Nu ar trebui sa lipseasca aplicatiile uzuale preinstalate, precum un browser web, Netflix, aplicatii de muzica (Pandora, Google Play) sau jocuri pentru copii. Cu cat acesta este mai mare, cu atat si ecranul trebuie ales mai mare. Apoi trebuie sa ai in vedere dimensiunea spatiului in care vei dispune televizorul, deoarece trebuie sa ai un anumit confort in acel spatiu. Pentru o camera de zi normala, diagonala ecranului trebuie sa fie de minim 140 cm. O regula buna este sa stai la o distanta apreciabila de televizor, care este de 3 ori mai mare decat inaltimea ecranului HD si de 1,5 ori mai mare decat inaltimea ecranului 4K Ultra HD. Pentru linia de fundal, alege o dimensiune a ecranului cu rezolutia corespunzatoare.
