Rapidcreek , in Chicago scraps gunshot detection system accused of racial bias

First you deploy this technology to the areas that you know have been experiencing gunfire. Several microphones are used and when gunfire is “heard” by the server, it can be triangulated to the source location. If you have a video network, you can also move to the source. Guess the server program is not identifying the gunshot frequency correctly.

AA5B ,

So we need to know both the range and the false positive rate, as well as the response

  • are they deployed so the only places in range of detection are non-white areas?
  • is there a high rate of false positives that somehow is worse in non-white areas?
  • is the response different in non-white areas vs white areas?
  • does the response specifically target non-white people in the target area?
Kusimulkku ,

I’d imagine there’s a higher prevalence of gunshots in the non-white areas so more mics are placed there.

Part of the problem is that there’s other loud noises that sound like gunshots like a car backfiring.

Rapidcreek ,

The way I understand it, gunfire has a distinctive frequency range that can be measured.

FireTower ,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

There may be a typical distinctive range but it isn’t a range unique to firearms. There’s also real world variables at play here such as gunshots outdoors vs indoors that’d force them to broaden that range leading to more false positives.

Rapidcreek , (edited )

Take an o-scope and a digital microphone setup, fire a gun, and i promise you you’ll not see the same reading with anything else, But, if you’re tied to an argument go ahead and do it with someone else.

TheOtherThyme ,

Way too many variables. Are you shooting 9mm, 45, .338 Lapua, .22lr? Are you shooting from a 9 in barrel, a 16 in, a three inch? Are you using a muffler? What brand and type? What is your range to the gun shot? Is the bullet supersonic or subsonic? Does the roofers hammer make a sound that falls inside the wide range of noises? There is no way to make an accurate profile for gun shot noise.

Rapidcreek ,

Well when I ran destructive test we used an assortment of guns. I suppose to collect this data you would do the same thing and use the average sample across the timeline for your programs baseline. Just a guess.

It varies greatly from region to region. Don’t assume that money will keep coming. In a couple of years the roads could very well be saturated by other drivers.

Great article.

Wooki , (edited ) in California's war on plastic bag use seems to have backfired. Lawmakers are trying again

Coming from a country that did this ages ago for stupid reasons.

Wait until they come for your straws. Cutting down trees for paper bags I can deal with but fucking paper straws (Mcdonalds im looking at you) is god awful.

Edit: downvoters getting sour about the paper bags consuming trees is a reality and cost of shifting resources. So do we create enormous plastic waste and destroy the environment or do we cut down trees and destroy the atmosphere. Policy change requires constructive thought, critical thought to test, and balance (not always but considered) to get the best outcome.

brlemworld ,

There are compostable straws that work quite well. Also maybe just use a metal straw, or bring your own cup, no need to have disposable everything.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I got a paper straw the other day that actually worked really well, so it seems like someone finally figured out how to make a good one.

Wooki ,

Metal straw I can get bahind but other straw types just dont make it to market because money. Personally just take the lid off and use a cup like an adult.

God the fictional line of just bring your own cup. No one brings their own cup to Mcdonalds. No one. They dont accept them now anyway. Their soda machines are automated for their own cups. Their trajectory is hire less people buy more robots.
