Note:
Agenda item #2 Roll call has happened.
Note: the Roll call has happened.
Note: meeting minutes have been approved.
Sarah Baker from Juvenile Court is in attendance and provides commentary. They are looking to amend a contract with Applewood Center. Deputy Director Bridget is in attendance. Ms. Baker notes it is quite late for the application.
Deputy Director Bridget provides commentary on the resolution request.
Note: she is highlighted in green.
Member Conway: how long does child stay in the program?
Dep Dir Bridget: 150 to 180 days is the average stay in the MST program.
Juvenile Court's Sarah Baker: I am pulling the amount up. Last year we added 550,000.
Cuy Coun Member Conway: You are requesting $600,000. What is the purpose of the additional amount?
Cuy Coun Member Conway: What is the amount of children targeted per year?
Juvenile Court's Sarah Baker: We try to target a minimum of 60 children per year. Right now we have 25 youth.
Mem Gallagher moves to pass resolution. It is backed by Mem Conway. It is passed.
CE1600133-02 that provides tasers and body cameras to 5th district. They are requesting $1,604,401.46.
Sherrif's Department: We submitted an incorrect date previously. The date change is to give a full 12 months
Sheriff's Department: That is correct.
Sheriff's Dept: The program (h Axon Enterprise, Inc. fka Taser International, Inc) contracts in 5 year increments.
Sheriff's Dept: I don't know why it states that, it is just the general fund.
Sheriff's Dept: It is starting from 5 years, that is, if this amendment is passed it would run from 2021 to 2026.
Sheriff's Dept: We are purchasing 215 tasers. We have 208 tasers currently. We want extras in stock in case one is use, stored for an investigation, or breaks down.
Sheriff's Dept: No, only the deputy sheriffs and sergeants. Lieutenants and Captains are not currently needed.
Sheriff's Dept: Lieutenants and Captains aren't in the field interacting with the public often where as the Deputy Sheriffs and Sergeants are.
Sheriff's Dept: They are less lethal option to use during someone arresting arrest. There is a quick, several second burst of electricity.
Sheriff's Dept: I would have to compile the data, but I believe it was ten times. Every time a taser is used, a use of force document is filed.
Sheriff's Dept: Before the handcuffs, so one does not have to go hand-to-hand combative.
Sheriff's Dept: Axon will provide trainings to all the employees. In-service training is once a year. There is additional specialty training.
Someone from the dept notes that it is against their policy to tase someone in handcuffs.
R2021-0028. It has been seconded and approved.
R2021-0028 has been moved for a second reading and has been approved.

Phase 1B COVID-19 Vaccination Provider List: https://t.co/gv8MpRvsJS
Dir Allan: Every Monday morning around 10:00am we have a call with the Governor. From the last call, we will not see much change in the coming weeks for vaccine flow.
Dir Allan: We get lots of phone calls.
Cuy Co Member Gallagher: So not a lot of mailing? From what I know about senior citizens, they aren't comfortable with modern tech.
Nan Baker: It usually takes 5 to 8 years for a vaccine. The fact we have it within 1 year, we have a vaccine. This is amazing!
Dir Allan: Based on the experience with H1N1, we have been using drive thrus. If there is a large enough footprint, it can be done inside.
Alice Kim of Cle Clinic: Yes, we do have the capacity to provide mass vaccination, but the supply chain issues are the concern. The hospitals are coordinated and working together.
Alice Kim of Cle Clinic states her above answer again: YES!
Dir Allan: As the hospitals have stated, we have the distribution capacity and we are coordinated. There are other places working together like pharmacies.
Cuy Coun Member Miller: Are we going to get weekly vaccinations?
Dir Allan: We have received 15,000 doses weekly and we expect that to stay the same for the time being.
Brook Watts of Metro Health Hospital: CDC recommends getting everyone vaccinated. If you have contracted COVID, you are an eligible candidate as you may contract COIVD-19 again.
Dir Allan: Yes, vaccination rate among nursing home staff is lower than the residents. It is 75 to 80% of residents willing to get vaccinated versus 40% of the staff willing to get vaccinated.
Dr. Brooke Watts of MetroHealth: Great question but we do not know yet. There is wide community spread.
Dir Allan: We continue to do our best and there is variability in response of certain systems. We can do better.
Dir Allan: It was our assumption, that there was a federal stockpile
Nan Baker: Are we holding back doses for 2nd doses for nursing homes?
Dir Allan: Certainly possible.
Cuy Coun Pres Jones: Do they administer at their business or the nursing homes?
Dir Allan: They will go into the Nursing homes.
Cuyahoga County Council addresses item 5(c) R2021-0001
Cuy Co Member Conway: There will be 7 members on this board?
Greg Huth: Yes, with different lengths of service.
Cuy Count Member Gallagher notes the spirit of the legislation is to have outside community members involved to reflect diversity, not the Council Members.
Cuy Co Member Gallagher moves for a second reading of RO2021-0001. It has been approved and a second reading will occur.
Ronnie from the inmate correctional discusses the history of the relationship between Bedford Heights & the County Jail. It is a $4,000 monthly payment.
Bob Coury states that Bedford Hghts had to be paid due to contractual obligations.
Cuy Co Member Gallagher: It should help according to the terms of the Diversion agreement. When it is up and running and if it runs correctly.
Bob Coury notes that around summer time action should start with implementing the Diversion Agreement.
Cuy Co Member Simon: We need to wait and see. The numbers are down to low indictments
Cuy Co Member Gallagher: I still think we should wait for the new sheriff to provide input.
Cuy Co Member Gallagher: This was a long meeting but important. The next meeting should be in two weeks.

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread
How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.
Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were
2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work
3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics
4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things
5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley

Nice to discover Judea Pearl ask a fundamental question. What's an 'inductive bias'?
I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.
explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?
An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.
The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.
Help! What precisely is "inductive bias"? Some ML researchers are in the opinion that the machine learning category of \u2018inductive biases\u2019 can allow us to build a causal understanding of the world. My Ladder of Causation says: "This is mathematically impossible". Who is right? 1/
