Sounds like an expert system then (just judging by the age) which was AI before the whole machine learning craze, in any case you need to take the same kind of care when integrating them into whatever real-world structures there are.

Medicine used them with quite some success problem being they take a long time to develop because humans need to input expert knowledge, and then they get outdated quite quickly.

Back to the system though: 35 questions is not enough for these kinds of questions. And that's not an issue of number of questions, but things like body language and tone of voice not being included.

so it’s probably just some points assigned for the answers and maybe some simple arithmetic.

Why yes, that's all that machine learning is, a bunch of statistics :)

The way to use these kinds of systems is to have the judge came to an independent decision, then, after that's keyed in, the AI spits out theirs and whichever predicts more danger is then acted on.

Relatedly, the way you have an AI select people and companies to get spot-checked by tax investigators is not to show investigators the AI scores, but mix in AI suspicions among a stream of randomly selected people.

Relatedly, the way you have AI involved in medical diagnoses is not to tell the human doctor results, but suggest additional tests to be made. The "have you ruled out lupus" approach.

And from what I've heard the medical profession actually got that right from the very beginning. They know what priming and bias is. Law enforcement? I fear we'll have to ELI5 them the basics for the next five hundred years.

If you can't see how that's a (small) puzzle piece of a long-term strategy then I can't help you either.

GDPR etc. are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to EU regulations. Plenty of them apply to stuff where the EU is world-leading, also very far-reaching ones. Compared to REACH, GDPR is quite low-impact indeed.

They still might very well be over-represented because looking at decompression errors doesn't isolate the CPU, could also be the disk, or RAM. Or even download though that tends to have independent checksumming. And it might not even be he components it could be cosmic rays, if you run code often enough on enough boxes errors are unavoidable, at least on hardware that isn't space-grade and/or buried underground.

Mir ist generell kein Wort bekannt, bei dem sich ein a zu ä, o zu ö oder u zu ü ändert, wenn es mit einem anderen Wort kombiniert wird.

Nach Gold graben -> Goldgräber sein.

Wobei hast schon recht der Umlaut kommt nicht durch die Zusammensetzung zustande sondern durch die Nominalisierung von "graben". Ansonsten kommen Umlaute noch bei der Steigerung von Adjektiven vor (alt, älter), sowie Pluralbildungen (Gans, Gänse) und beim Präsens vieler starker Verben und auch der Konjunktiv ist mit Umlauten durchsetzt und das war's dann glaub ich auch schon.

There's plenty of designs out there that you can load onto an FPGA or, funds permitting, send off to a fab to burn into silicon.

There's one two guarantees in life: Death and taxes. Real currencies are the ones you can use to pay the latter.

§8 (10) MStV:

Werbung für alkoholische Getränke dürfen den übermäßigen Genuss solcher Getränke nicht fördern

Advertising for alcoholic beverages must not encourage the excessive consumption of such beverages

Of course, that's vague AF to the point where you can argue both that anything but "Hey let's portray binge drinking as cool" is a-ok and on the other hand that portraying any kind of positive association with alcohol is not ok. And considering how the regulators somehow refuse to shut down right-out scam call-in shows there's not much hope for them to interpret that in a way advertisers would disagree with (advertisers have their own rules because shitstorms against their behaviour are not good advertisement).

Talking about political strategy though, I don't think that's a particularly good point to start, the first step should be warning labels, akin to tobacco. And yes I'm completely fine with the same kind of labels on coffee and tea and while we're at it ultra-processed food.

Noone here is planning to inject hydrogen into existing pipelines. If anything, synthesising methane during the transition so that consumers only have to switch their burners once, from nat gas to hydrogen, and not first to nat gas + more hydrogen and then to pure hydrogen. Gotta switch whole municipalities at once doesn't make sense to duplicate the last-mile gas pipes. If, and that's not even clear yet, hydrogen pipes will even be a thing for private consumers.

We shouldn't be having methane in the atmosphere in the first place. Sure, if you produce the hydrogen from natural gas then you have a problem because that stuff comes with plenty of methane which won't suddenly stop leaking.

From all that I've seen electricity lines (also HVDC) have higher transmission losses by a magnitude. With hydrogen and modern material science you'll probably have the choice between higher losses and embrittlement, but that's just another economical equation: Do you want to eat the higher losses, or replace the pipeline in a couple of decades or a century.

At least environment-wise hydrogen leaks aren't an issue: Some atoms diffusing through the wall don't constitute a fire hazard and the end result is water. Methane, OTOH, is a nasty greenhouse gas.

Speaking of nature: Ammonia is nasty, but nature produces it itself (just not at those concentrations) and can deal with it. The site directly surrounding a leak would be dead, a bit further downstream (literally) there's going to be over-fertilisation. Not nice but definitely better than an oil leak and fixing it quite literally involves waiting until grass has grown over it as rain dilutes it and microorganisms migrate back in to eat it. Similar things apply to ethanol which I'd say would be a better choice for general use such as hybrid cars, camping stoves and whatnot because it's not going to burn your lungs away. Can't rely on people being conscious enough to get up and flee the ammonia stench when they're in a car accident.
