Shakespeare (almost) wrote: Artificial Intelligence is but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
-- 6079 Smith W.

Before the play was written, it flashed in someone's head as a plot; that was most probably Shakespeare in this case. Can AI tell that this "plot creation" was also a joint effort?

Experts don't always agree with one another when making predictions or diagnoses. So how can we find out which expert in a group makes the best and most accurate decisions? Besides you, of course

Great quote within the article:
"It has been shown time and again that experts who are good in their field are good in a similar way, whereas poor performers are bad in very different ways. ...," says Ralf Kurvers
Very applicable to the coding family!

Wow. Those experts who agree with the decisions of their expert group are the best experts.
True when the group was right (likely the average case), but terribly wrong when the group was wrong.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Well since fArseBook is involved we can categorically rule out the first...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A dog hopped in its owner's running car, kicked it in reverse, drove in circles for an hour and smashed a neighbor's mailbox before safely exiting the vehicle without so much as a scratch. Florida man was sad at the prospect of not appearing in a headline
OK, neither science nor technology. Just a Good Boy (who's a bad driver). Sometimes the random blurb writer has to be random.

Studies show that human factors most influence the quality of our work. So why do we put so much stake in technical solutions? tl;dr version: Relax, dude
Every use of 'epistemology' outside of a Philosophy 101 class really makes my eyes roll. I'll add that to my defect pile.

So why do we put so much stake in technical solutions?
The point of technical solutions is to remove the human factor. That's why we have processes, procedures, hierarchies, chain of command, code styles, code reviews, so forth.

If you are using older versions of Avast or AVG Antivirus, Microsoft has placed a compatibility hold that will prevent you from upgrading to Windows 10 1903 or Windows 10 1909 until you upgrade to a newer version of the antivirus software. Some people might find this information useful (for non-intended uses)
