Lane keeping assistance helps prevent the vehicle from unintentionally drifting out of its lane. The system uses information provided by lane departure warning sensors to determine whether the vehicle is about to unintentionally move out of its lane of travel. If so, the system activates and corrects the steering, brakes or accelerates one or more of the wheels, or does a combination of both, resulting in the vehicle returning to its intended lane of travel.
Warning about a Fake Movie Maker
From its everyday low prices to the wide variety of products you can find under one gigantic roof, Walmart easily draws in masses of shoppers. More than 240 million people head to the retailer's stores every week, according to Statista. But like they say, with such a great number of customers comes great responsibility. In October, Walmart had to warn its customers about a recalled aromatherapy spray that was linked to two deaths. And more recently in late December, the retailer announced that it was having to temporarily close locations across the U.S. over COVID sanitation concerns. Now, Walmart has sent a new warning to shoppers about one product that is being misrepresented online. Read on to find out more about what the company has to say.
In the pre-algorithm world, humans and organizations made decisions in hiring, advertising, criminal sentencing, and lending. These decisions were often governed by federal, state, and local laws that regulated the decision-making processes in terms of fairness, transparency, and equity. Today, some of these decisions are entirely made or influenced by machines whose scale and statistical rigor promise unprecedented efficiencies. Algorithms are harnessing volumes of macro- and micro-data to influence decisions affecting people in a range of tasks, from making movie recommendations to helping banks determine the creditworthiness of individuals.4 In machine learning, algorithms rely on multiple data sets, or training data, that specifies what the correct outputs are for some people or objects. From that training data, it then learns a model which can be applied to other people or objects and make predictions about what the correct outputs should be for them.5
Now, a remake is on the way from the makers of "Cam," prompting a look back on "Faces of Death" and the controversy it generated. Legendary Entertainment (behind "Godzilla vs. Kong" and under-seen found footage horror "As Above, So Below") is backing a fresh iteration of "Faces of Death," with Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber at the helm. This time, the story involves a YouTube moderator who discovers a group of people recreating the deaths from the original movie. So whether you're new to this or know this thing inside and out (hello), let's take a look back at the original film and the controversy it generated.
In January 2021, health officials in Philadelphia warned about fake painkillers being sold in the state. These fake drugs caused fatal overdoses and when they were tested, they were not Percocet or OxyContin. Instead, the drugs contain fentanyl.
If you get your news online or from social media, this type of headline sounds very familiar. What's real? What's fake? What's satire? Now that anyone with access to a phone or computer can publish information online, it's getting harder to tell. But as more people go to Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and other online sources for their news and information, it's even more crucial that all of us -- especially kids -- learn to decode what we read online. (Learn more about how kids get their news and how they feel about it in Common Sense Media's report, News and America's Kids: How Young People Perceive and Are Impacted by the News.)
When fake news, such as false claims about the coronavirus, has threatened people's safety, tech companies have joined forces to crack down on the misinformation super-spreaders. But ad-supported networks are in somewhat of a bind, since they get money when users click on these stories -- so the crazier the headline, the more money they make. Most kids and teens get their news from their feeds, so they need to learn how to view stories critically (and they should learn that skill anyway!). Even little kids can start to think about some key media-literacy questions. And as kids get older, parents can help kids become more sophisticated critical thinkers. (If your kid's school is tackling media-literacy issues, consider sharing this with their teachers.) 2ff7e9595c
