World Cup 2022: How does semi-automated offside technology work and what is it?-FIFA WORLD CUP

S emi-automated offsides are in force at the 2022 World Cup in the latest introduction of technology to top-level football. Four years ago in Russia, a largely successful trial of VAR proved the catalyst for widespread rollout across Europe’s major leagues. In Qatar, it will be semi-automated offside technology that gets an airing, with the Premier League already reportedly lining up its use…

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.”

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)

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?

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

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.

Pyrolysis Plant Cost - Things You Need To Know

Pyrolysis plants are popular everywhere across the world. One of the reasons for that interest in these plants for processing a number of waste materials is that it not just helps with ridding yourself of harmful waste materials for example tires or plastic products additionally it makes for a profitable business. To put it briefly, this technology assists in providing a sustainable way to get free of waste plastic and waste tires as well as a great deal of other products that can damage the environment.

However, it has been observed that quite a few of these pyrolysis plants or businesses begin to lose cash within many years. One of the main causes of the failure of the businesses is lacking research put in through the owner. What many people do not understand is the fact fundamentally, a pyrolysis business is a technology business. Minus the proper technology, it is sometimes complicated to compete in the market, particularly if the buying price of fuel oil is considerably lower than the earlier years.

While several factors change the long-term profitability with this business, just about the most critical factors that really matters will be the pyrolysis oil plant cost. In this article, we shall take a close have a look at several factors which affect the fee for this plant and how you ought to start picking the right one.

If you're trying to find the cost of a regular pyrolysis plant, you should be able to purchase one for more than $50,000. You can actually stretch your finances to thousands and thousands of dollars as the cost really is dependent upon its processing capacity and some other elements. However, it would be an oversight to buy one based only on its initial cost.

A typical mistake produced by buyers is they choose excessive processing capacity. Keep in mind that when you are unable to utilize its full processing capacity, you will end up losing money as you have got to burn the equivalent amount of fuel regardless if you are running the chamber full or at 50% capacity. Simply speaking, should you not have adequate volume of raw material to process, you will be losing money if you operate this plant.

For this reason you ought to never choose a lot of capacity. Carefully check out the accessibility of raw materials for processing as well as need for products obtained from the pyrolysis process to be able to generate the right capacity for your business.

Don't check out the raw cost. Go on a close have a look at its fuel efficiency as well as the quality of materials employed for making the plant. Consider the quality of various components. Also, consider the degree of automation. You can purchase semiautomated plants and also fully automated plants.

Fully automated plants are better since these are susceptible to fewer errors in comparison with their semiautomated counterparts. It's easier to choose a design that is more fuel-efficient as compared to alternatives even though it costs somewhat higher. Better fuel efficiency will usually win in the long term.

Overall, pyrolysis plants will be in huge demand everywhere. However, checking out merely the initial cost of this plant is not the best way to choose it. You should be considering its fuel efficiency, manufacturer's reputation, processing capacity, degree of automation, and other things like this to help make the correct choice.
