Utilizing Media: A Response to Deepfakes

  Of the ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery), a magazine called Communication of the ACM's edition releases 1 month before its stated release month. In the latest edition, regarding March 2021, of Communications of the ACM , Column Editor, Susan J. Winter wrote Computing Ethics: What To Do About Deepfakes . Regarding Winter’s desire to halt or hinder illegal or unethical deepfakes, a video technology like wearing a full body masking suit, Winter wrote, “Here are three areas where technical experts can make positive contributions to the development of synthetic media technologies: education and media literacy, subject defense, and verification” (Winter, March, 2021). Winter was saying actions such as teaching and having disruptive technology knowledge, researching professionally, and proving concepts are parts of deepfake experts’ calculus. But this much work specializes such that entry level, junior, work will probably be offered to overqualified professionals. Technic

On Android Pie, the Notification Style was Updated

On Android Pie, the notification system layout updated, but the notification edge got
rounded. 

Android Oreo 

On the previous Android, codenamed Oreo, the notification edge is semi-rectangular. With traditional edges, an Android Oreo notification is like a desktop operating system. My Android Oreo device is a tablet, but it is too big and bulk, for I am an active person, but I dislike carrying a big computer because it is practically a PC. Android Oreo notifying I am using a mobile desktop style is not awesome because it is disorienting, but I have a mobile device.

Android Pie 

On Android Pie, the notification edge is rounded, so Pie no longer has the desktop style notification. Against desktop computers,  it is more mobile-oriented. I like this update because I am more mobile than stationary, but Pie learns my notification use case. Using a notification is accepting the notification, but Pie adjusts my cookies, so my experience becomes better curated.

Getting the Right Notification

In Scripture, Simeon established a prophet law. To Simeon's brothers and sisters, Simeon (NIV) wrote, "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things" (2 Peter 1:20). For myself, an American Christian, I need not interpret Pie catering because my history is knowledge, and I am a Christian university graduate; but I am also a computer scientist. When I accept a Pie notification, I am building my faith, and this requires following the law, and then my field advances. In Regent University, I wrote a security and privacy monetization paper, but I made an application: on the security and privacy basis, Android Pie tracking data should remain law-abiding, but the average Web site is not GDPR-compliant. 

Senator Blackburn is Not Tech Savvy

In her newsletter, my state senator, Marsha Blackburn, did not even mention GDPR-compliance post GDPR implementation, a May 25, 2018 event. To Senator Blackburn's email, I replied, but Senator Blackburn's email robot gave a different contact portal: Senator Blackburn's site. In my message, I recommended Senator Blackburn review GDPR-compliance because she did not even mention it.

In response to the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo’s Circular Reasoning: Spiral Circuits for More Efficient AI

Circular Reasoning On June 14, 2020, the IIS (Institute of Industrial Science) at the UTokyo (University of Tokyo) wrote  Circular Reasoning: Spiraling Circuits for More Efficient AI ; but a Press Release from this institute is giving a synopsis on this topic. On this press release, the IIS wrote, “Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo designed and built specialized computer hardware consisting of stacks of memory modules arranged in a 3D-spiral for artificial intelligence (AI) applications” (IIS, June 14, 2020). The IIS continued on, saying this research is allowing a singular way work can be done regarding the next generation energy efficient AI devices (Here is a current generation, but energy efficient, AI device, Android Pie: link ) shall be implemented into production.             The Fundamentals of Machine Learning                On this press release, the IIS is explaining the fundamentals of ML (Machine Learning).

IS the Future of AI “Women?”

Interdisciplinary Campus Culture On April 14, 2020, Katy Rank Lev wrote the Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) news article The Future of AI is Female . Since artificial intelligence’s (AI) initial measurement, wrote Lev, CMU built AI. Lev wrote that each of the colleges CMU is representing contribute to make AI a new field, describing this AI as a frontier, humanity can democratize: from healthcare, the eventual goal area is education. In a rush, Lev cut the conversation short, and Lev mentioned CMU’s interdisciplinary campus culture as the source of the effective AI women, but this is despite women historically not represented as scientists, technologists, and engineers, and math (STEM), worldwide. But CMU is spotlighting undergraduate students and highly honored faculty members, and Lev is including these women because she agrees with the Women in Tech movement as far as the East is from the West: CMU is the best Computer Science University with AI, and this is IT at this point in

Drone Uses AI and 11,500 Crashes to Learn How to Fly

Learning to Fly by Crashing On 10 May, 2017, Evan Ackerman wrote the IEEE (Institute for Electricians and Electrical Engineers) SPECTRUM article Drone Uses AI and 11,500 Crashes to Learn How to Fly. In Ackerman’s article, Ackerman used a block quote by Carnegie Mellon University roboticists Dhiraj Gandhi, Lerrel Pinto; and Abhinav Gupta, the writers of a paper, “Learning to Fly by Crashing” (Gandhi, et. al., 27 Apr 2017). From Ackerman’s block quote from Gandhi, et. al., “[T]he gap between simulation and real world remains large especially for perception problems” (Gandhi, et. al.). Ackerman contrasted known motion from unconfirmed motion without identifying the pre-existing condition called Schrödinger’s cat in the case that the crashes shall eventually happen without outside help: a continuing crash failure, and in security terms this is interned as a false positive because this helps Schrödinger’s cat stay alive or rest buried in the soil. In this case, this drone detects these t
