Listen to Your Personal Data: In Search of the Master Algorithm

Dear PREP, 

Today is the last day of week 2. Thank you for spending 18 hours reading and writing with me over the past 6 days. You are demonstrating your resolve and taking great authority over your own lives. Consider our time together 18 hours worth of good input. You will benefit from hard work, study, and good fortune. You have to construct or design your master algorithm to nurture resilience. You have to move away from dependency on others. I am lucky to work with each of you. 

You will write your final two pieces together focused on becoming resilient. 

Your title for one of today's writings is Algorithms to Live By:


My Master Algorithm

This piece was inspired by Ronnell Robinson who wrote about algorithms during day 5 of the PREP institute. I situate this piece about algorithms at the intersection of social and scientific consciousness. 

I thought I was the master until I learned I was being mastered
I live in a system of social and scientific calculations 
From the courts to the hospitals to the job market
The master controls the music I listen to and the movies I watch
How am I being calculated?
What is being done with my blood count?
How are they scoring my blackness and maleness?
A young man told wrote, "I Really Don’t Care about the master."
It's my inputs that determine my outputs
Input 1: Pretty curls for the pretty girls - (+)
Input 2: sleep and slumber is a negative number (-)
Input 3: The grind of the mind (+)
Input 4: High school degree or GED (+)
Input 5: smoking dope trying to cope (-)
Input 6: Stress and all that other mess (-)
Input 7: healthy diet to avoid a health riot (-)
Regulating self-calculations
determine my fate 
more than that mathematical God or devil standing at the gate
I will live to my own rhythm
I am my own algorithm.

Algorithm of Failure

I 'have know

No question

I don't understand

No question

I 'have know

No question

I don't  understand

No questions

I now have questions

But the person who can help me with the answer is gone



Algorithms- set of rules To be followed in Calculations or other
Problem-Solving operations By computer (1) The master algorithm in this Text
They are talking about machines learning Plays apart in every Stage of
Of your Life (2) Hundreds of new learning algorithms are invented every
Year also in the Sepsis part of the article that says sepsis is one of the biggest
Hospital hazards you’ve maybe never heard of (3) making a master algorithm will
Impact peoples lives as well as it would mine things would change
There will be less jobs for people who have families  to take care of (4) My Intake
On The Master Algorithm Is that I don’t think it’s a good idea because they
Are going to and are starting put these algorithms in the community jobs
Jobs that some people can only get and now they Are being replaced by Computers (5) I thinks that they should just keep Algorithms in the government job
Like law enforcements and other places but not in the Community’s

The master algorithm
The master algorithm can derive all knowledge in the world past, present, and future from data. I learned that hundreds of new learning algorithms are invented every year. I learned inventing the master algorithm , would be one the greatest advances in the history of science.
 I also learned doctors are using algorithms to detect sepsis symptoms, like fever and difficulty breathing, sometimes these things can look like other illnesses, it can be hard to detect, especially in the early stages. That’s why doctors turned to science for a solution to develop an algorithm that constantly monitored electronic health records and warned hospital staff in real time when patients were at high risk for sepsis. 
In my opinion I disagree creating the master algorithm, because machine learning plays a part in every stage of your life. And you don’t want to live your life by a machine or have a machine make decisions for you. In my opinion creating an algorithm for patients seemed like a good idea until it was notice that it wasn’t doing a very good job. The algorithm was not detecting sepsis but was detecting patients who were much sicker than average even when they didn’t have sepsis. This algorithm failed at its main goal. So I disagree with algorithm.

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I don’t even waste my time
Sometimes I want to live right
Sometimes the things I do ain’t right
Sometimes I’m wrong
Sometimes I’m right
Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I think about life
Sometimes I want to do right
Sometimes choosing the right path
Isn’t a easy task
You have to learn from your mistakes
And get on the right track


JN

The master algorithm not all algorithms work the same  and the master Algorithm can derive all knowledge In the world- past, present, future and while todays learning algorithms can diseases with accuracy, curing cancer is not easy, if we succeed in  our quest for the master algorithm, it will no longer be.
In the texts Sepsis I learn that Sepsis is one of the biggest hospital hazards you’ve maybe never heard of and causes one-third to one-half of all deaths in US hospitals.
I agree we need the master algorithm because my niece had cancer it wasn’t easy to get rid of it , I seen her in a lot of pain I seen her losing her hair day by day , crying after crying , getting skinner everyday because the cancer didn’t let her eat , and if we get the master algorithm it well help a lot of people .
I agree because a team of doctors turned to computer science for a solution and they trying develop an algorithm that constantly monitored electronic health records and Chicago there’s alot of people dying everyday people don’t even make it to reach to the hospital

                                           My master algorithm

I smoke dope but I get drug test it
Have a shag or get shot
Shoot first or get shot first
Kill or be killed
Focus on the streets or focus on me
Money or jail
I picked money over jail
I work but I be tired
I wanna get my diploma but also my GED

JC

I’m going to be of my whole family. I’m going to take care of my family no matter what it takes. First I’m going to get my mind together so my people wont stress, then I’m going to get my money right so we wouldn’t have to struggle no more. Last I’m going to get my grandma out of the city of Chicago so she wouldn’t have to worry or stress about me when I’m outside. That’s my Algorithm master plan -  make it out

Algorithms

Algorithms are being used in good and bad ways in the universe. This is based on the master algorithms and sepsis (Diseases) that causes people to study algorithms. First they was using it to label us as numbers, now they saying it can be a key to cures to all types of disease including cancer. Scientist using it to create better ways for technology for the future so they can advance the universe and the way people think about it.   In the texts it states “ It would speed up the progress of knowledge across the board, and change the world in ways that we can barely imagine.” This means everything that is hard to explain will no longer be hard to explain, and anything that is difficult doing will no longer be difficult. This computer mechanism will get the universe further than people can see, but I still disagree it should be used because if it can do us all this good what can people do if they use it backwards In A bad way. A learning algorithm is like a master craftsman. The more data they have, the more intelligent the algorithms can be.

Machine Learning plays a part in every stage of your Life. A Learning algorithm is like a master craftsman. Not all learning algorithm work the same, and the differences have consequences…

Sepsis is one of the biggest hospital hazards you’ve maybe never heard of. It causes one-third to one-half  of all deaths in US hospitals. So a team of doctors turned to computer science for a solution. Five years putting the alert in peace, it turns out to not have done a very good job of diagnosing sepsis…

My Master Algorithm

Stay Focus On School

Keep A Positive Mind

Stay To Myself

And Don’t Never Put My Head Down Keep Believing In Myself So I  Can Keep Authority over My own life…

A learning algorithm is like master craftsman. The more data they have, the more intelligent the algorithm can be. The master algorithm can derive all knowledge in the world-past, present, and future-from data. It would speed up the progress of knowledge across the board, and change the world in ways that we can barely begin to imagine. The master algorithm is our gateway of solving some of the hardest problems we face, from building domestic robots to curing cancer. I also learned sepsis the biggest hospital hazard you’ve maybe never heard of. When the body over reacts to an infection, it can trigger widespread inflammation that can in turn cause tissue damage and organ failure. It causes one-third to one-half of all death In US hospitals. Sepsis symptoms, like fever or difficulty breathing, or other illnesses, it can be hard to detect, especially in the early stages. So a team of doctors turned to computer science for a solution. They tried to make an algorithm that monitored electronic health records and warned hospital staff in real time when patients were at high risk for sepsis. My own opinion I think algorithm is a great thing we got in our life’s, algorithm is like a hero if you think about it or for some people that were sick and got cured because of a computer that solve his own problem.

Being a failure Algorithm in school

Today in school I couldn’t solve a math problem that the teacher asked the students to do it was so hard I didn't know how to start it of, what to do, if I had to add, divide,  multiply , subtract. What I would do to solve this problem is reread the problem, write the step in order so I could understand what comes first and what goes last. better

                                                      The Master Algorithms  
Why is a machine trying to play every stage in life?
That can’t happen!
I really didn’t care at first.
Algorithms getting invented by the minute that goes pass.
WHY?
I’m trying to see of this fake?
WHY?
I think I’m dreaming?
Trying to have robots to cure cancer?
I’m the history of science!
It’s me or a machine?
It’s me!
I have brain cells
You don’t
I can talk you can’t
I am the master and you not.

Algorithms – set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem- solving operations, especially by a computer. In the text The Master Algorithms I learned that master algorithms play a part in almost everything, and hundreds are being invented every year. Also in the text sepsis I learned that they are using algorithms to detect diseases in people. I think algorithms are not always fair or accurate but they benefit the world. I think many more great algorithms will come quickly with today's technology quickly advancing.
