A coalition of human rights and technology groups released a new declaration on machine learning standards, calling on both governments and tech companies to ensure that algorithms respect basic principles of equality and non-discrimination Because as goes Toronto, so follows the world
It is the Centre of the Universe, after all. OK, maybe just Canada.

Yes! I was playing World of Tanks the other day and I fully intended to hit my opponent, but the algorithm was unfair and denied me my desires. It fully discriminated against me. Worse, the other team WON! How unequal is that? I didn't even get a ribbon for second place.

Microsoft's twice-a-year feature updates are a greater burden on companies than the old upgrade-every-six-years pace businesses used to face, according to Gartner Research. More frequent updates cost more? Wait, what?!

What a bunch of hooey. Almost all pc in my organization of 2000+ upgraded without a hitch, nobody even noticed that it had happened.

This is Gartner, which has a rather loose relationship with reality.

Yeah, they sound like someone trying to justify their existence and why they cost so much.

A team of researchers led by a group at Google subsidiary DeepMind has developed a theory regarding how human meta-learning works by comparing it to a certain type of deep learning network on computers. I never meta learning that wasn't useful?

A nonprofit with grand ambitions of setting up a library on the Moon is planning to send the entire English archive of Wikipedia to the lunar surface sometime within the next couple of years. "I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted"

Hopefully, 4chan will do some "editing" just before the pages are sent off to the printer.
Hilarity will ensure. Trust me.

At least the librarian won't need to tell anyone to keep quiet - "In space, no one can hear you scream."

So, basically, we've got a clever - if entirely redundant - shiny new replacement for micro-fiche and we need to send it to the moon because, er, well ... no, I'm a bit lost at this point.
Who's actually paying for this?

Vulnerabilities including the bug reportedly responsible for Equifax's data breach are still common elements of open-source systems used in the enterprise. Yeah, "Boo!" open source! Let's go back to proprietary programming languages and write everything ourselves.

They kept writing "powered"; as the saying goes, "powered" doesn't mean what they think it means.

At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Brisbane, Australia, next week, roboticists from the University of Washington, in Seattle, will present RoboFly, a laser-powered insect-sized flapping wing robot that performs the first (very brief) untethered flight of a robot at such a small scale. Now the robots are coming for the jobs of the hard-working flies

Until now, requirements for architecture were left to the discretion of companies, developers and their target audiences, recent legal changes in the European Union and the United States have brought a new player to the table: regulations. Slap a "do not hack (please)" sticker on it?

Security researchers have found a security flaw in Electron, a software framework that has been used in the past half-decade for building a wealth of popular desktop applications. You mean everyone building on a JavaScript-based 'platform' could be a problem?

When the creators of Electron was asked if this is a widespread issue their reply was..."We're not positive".

Surely they could've put a better spin on it then that.
