“Lucy’s Demon” is an idea I have been playing with to reference human programer’s working on early stages of #AI, with the same abilities as #Descartes Demon, only with the added questions that come up when the demon controls stimuli and perception. This has another layer when other humans then trust the AI to #augment their reality and the programmers become a shared demon.

Lucy refers to the our fossil ancestor.

I think it is fun idea and just wanted to share it with you.

Sometimes one may find it useful or necessary to scale their data during a modeling or analysis phase. One of these such transformations is the z-score scaling.

I have a set of functions (#vector #augment and #recipes #step) that address a few different methods including #zscore which is done by the very simple (x - mean(x)) / sd(x)

It is part of my #r #package {healthyR.ai}

The post on my blog will go over the #recipes #step #function step_hai_scale_zscore()

Contrary to recent studies on algorithmic use in work settings we found that open source developers prefer to #automate rather than #augment their work. And, that often, developers #augment the work of algorithms and not just the other way around.
