What I lack is a specific discussion about the kind of flaws we need to look for in AI systems, and even more how to mitigate these flaws. It is a noble goal, but I would have liked to see more discussions about how to increase the probability of that happening. So we should try to design systems based on how AI and humans work together. But also that it is the combination between humans and machine that tend to get the best results. AI are a reflection of us and as such will always come with flaws. Hanna's main point form my perspective is to help us understand that we should apply the same ethics and thinking that we have always done. Given these skills it can do different things more/faster than humans, including mistakes. This book basically just state that AI have some skills, especially pattern recognition, classification and prediction. But perhaps the book Hanna has written is needed before that discussion can happen. I still would have liked more discussions about different kind of AI:s and how they are shaped, as I think this is an area where more knowledge is needed to ensure a substantive discussion. That might not be Hanna's fault as the title on the American edition is "How to be Human in the Age of the Machine". I was initially very disappointed with this book as it is not very much about algorithms. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less, Binding: Hardcover, Weight: 0 lbs, Product Group: Book, IsTextBook: No, ISBN: 9780805082005, EAN: 9780805082005, Book Title: Soldier's Secret : the Story of Deborah Sampson, Item Length: 8.1in., Publisher: Holt & Company, Henry, Intended Audience: Young Adults, Publication Year: 2009, Format: Hardcover, Language: English, Item Height: 0.9in., Author: Sheila Solomon Klass, Genre: Juvenile Fiction, Juvenile Nonfiction, Topic: History / Military & Wars, Biography & Autobiography / Historical, Girls & Women, History / United States / Colonial & Revolutionary Periods, Item Width: 5.2in., Item Weight: 9. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less Condition: Bon état, Condition: Missing dust jacket Pages can have notes/highlighting. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less Soldier's Secret: The Story of Deborah Sampson by Klass, Sheila Solomon Missing dust jacket Pages can have notes/highlighting.

Special features of this volume include a foreword by series editor Rick Norwood, an illustrated introduction by fellow cartoonist and Crane aficionado Paul Pope, an essay by the late Bill Blackbeard, and a gallery of rare Captain Easy comic book covers. In short, it’s another rousing series of adventure and humor encapsulating the gallantry, derring-do, and rough-and-tumble innocence of a bygone era and a bygone genre, written and drawn with panache, and practically painted in a vibrant spectrum of colors that you have to see to believe. Captain Easy hobnobs with millionaires and bums and beautiful girls (of course), and winds up in the middle of a full scale war. Roy Crane’s Soldier of Fortune, Captain Easy, fights for gold in the frozen north, is mistaken for a bandit, protects a formula for artificial diamonds, is stranded on a desert island, visits the tiny Balkan country of Kleptomania, and faces a firing squad. This second of four volumes reprints in full color the rare Captain Easy Sunday pages from the 1930s.

BakkerFixated on finding another mate, Red argues with her sister. Despite this, the two dinosaurs travel together to find food, escape from predators, and get to know each other better. Elated to find her sister after the loss of her mate, Red knows her sister is reluctant to welcome her back into the family. As in all novels, there are uplifting and sad moments, triumphs and tribulations. Red loses her mate, discovers her long-lost sister, and struggles daily to survive in an inhospitable environment. Told by Red, the novel defines the dinosaur world as hostile. About Raptor Redīased on Bakker’s understanding of dinosaur habits and habitats, how these creatures interacted socially, and the volatile world they existed in, the 250-page novel depicts Raptor Red’s life. The book is highly acclaimed and has received many four- and five-star ratings from readers who say it’s one of their favourite novels and one of many excellent dinosaur books for children. Bakker, a palaeontologist, in 1995, this American novel tells the tale of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor dinosaur as she struggles through a year of life. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Hench walschotsWith no money and no mobility, with only her anger and internet research acumen, she discovers her suffering at the hands of a hero is far from unique. And, to her horror, compared to the other bodies strewn about, she's the lucky one. But when she finally gets a promising assignment, everything goes very wrong, and an encounter with the so-called "hero" leaves her badly injured.

I would really like to track down a copy of the updated version, is what I'm saying. It probably has all sorts of extra chapters about the seventeen years of Adams' writing and fan activity since 1988, and of course, his death and legacy, that the first edition did not have. They've since published an updated version of the book, re-titled Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which was published about four years after Adams's death in 2001. Full disclosure on this one: my library system did not have this book so I had to inter-library loan it, and the copy they came up with for me is a first edition. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Haben by Haben GirmaEritrea was at war with Ethiopia, fighting for independence a war that lasted for 30 years. Haben’s extraordinary story began before she was born, with her mother’s decision to flee her home country of Eritrea, Africa, and make a refugee’s journey to the USA. This is the story of Haben Girma, a truly inspirational Eritrean-American woman who overcame these momentous hurdles and became the first deaf-blind graduate of Harvard Law School. Can you imagine, then, taking away the power of sight also? Now imagine that the law school in question is Harvard, noted as one of the top law schools in the world, regarded for both its remarkable academic excellence and prestigious previous alumni. Can you imagine the difficulties you would face going through law school as a deaf person? The image in our heads is most probably one of us relying almost exclusively on our powers of sight to intake any information presented to us. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Ancestor trouble reviewsWe look to family trees perhaps because of an interest in history, but ultimately because we want to know more about ourselves. Ancestor Trouble is also a literary feat that simultaneously builds and excavates identity, and it’s a blueprint for making something of cultural, intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual and genetic legacies often burdened with messy debris. Newton’s pursuit gathers into a fist of anguish as she traces and faces 'monstrous bequests' of racism, from Southern ancestors who enslaved people to a Northern ancestor who helped drive Indigenous people from their villages in western Massachusetts. It makes sense, this method - which becomes the book’s structure, too - because curiosity and lives never proceed in direct paths. When one inquiry reaches its natural end, she belays herself back and begins another route. Her genealogical investigation transforms into an investigation of genealogy itself, a subject rich with conjecture and a perennial social longing that she terms 'ancestor hunger'. We sink as deep into history, science and spirituality as we do into Newton’s family tree. Who am I? is the question troubling Maud Newton in her extraordinary and wide-ranging book. |
