unappealing name, but interesting ideas

>YTA. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The gender bias exists due to the assumptions it makes on the sample data. I'm sure if you searched "<gender> <profession>" it would get you what you want.

If 95% of publicly available images of a profession are of one gender, should the tool be deliberately modified so that it's X% instead?

I totally agree that models that purport to represent the world can be hugely biased and reconfirming of negative biases, but how would avoiding representing those biases be achieved? Strict gender ratios in training data?

>We've been working on an edit button since last year

Does it really take over 4 months to make an edit button?

Don't worry, in a few years someone will have reverse engineered a dall-e porn engine so you can see whatever two celebrities you want boning on Venus in the style of Manet

Here's a more sane interpretation of Musk's "mission" for these companies:

Tesla: Gimmicky electric cars as a status symbol

SpaceX: Maximizing profits on government space contracts

Twitter: Tactical manipulation of stock prices

All of them are about increasing Musk's clout and net worth.

>Preparing for the test isn't helpful

Then in your opinion are all the SAT prep books useless?

Feynman's secret is that he was a legitimate super-genius with the charisma of a normal guy who happened to luck into all his achievements. In reality it couldn't be farther from the truth, but there's nothing more appealing to an average person than an exceptional person who gives the impression that being like him is achievable.

why does this happen? Our technology is magnitudes more advanced, we have better preexisting infrastructure, materials, measuring equipment, yet the nation with the world's most powerful economy doesn't hold a candle to it's past achievements.

>Once we make X economical, we will have all the Y we want

True for like 99% of things that could ever exist. The big question is is it possible, and is that really the only hurdle. IMO Uranium extraction isn't the bottleneck to nuclear power, building and maintaining the plants is.

I played once and it asked me to locate the same street 3 times in one 5 question round.

This is very cool, but I imagine would be favored by people already well familiar with programming. When the average person sees the "Socket I/O" quest, they have no natural reason to find it interesting besides the small percent of people who will just do any task if it's part of getting to 100% completion. IMO a more enticing premise would be to wrap every task into an internal narrative.

> ...it is incredibly revealing of your personal biases.

People make mistakes. I think you're opening a can of worms if you try to conflate a lack of robustness in user experience accessibility with some underlying anti-inclusivity bias.

You don't need to be a "sociopath" to cultivate advantageous behaviors. Just reorient your frame on what counts as "good". Most people are naturally limited because they assume good = "noone is offended, people obeyed manners, surface level politeness." Reframe your understanding of the world so good = "maximize efficiency and removed limits to human potential"

I wonder what percentage of Amazon's AWS revenue derives from designing its interface in a way that maximizes unnecessary spend?

What's the point of even hiring American tech talent anymore. For companies that still hire American engineers, are they really 3-4x better than engineers from countries where the average wage of software engineers is 3-4x less?

People underestimate just how much minor public health measures can dramatically improve livelihood and overall prosperity.

Before the advent of iodized salt, the prevalence of goiter in certain cities in Michigan was as high as 60%. This also led to various mental deficiencies in people in those regions. It turns out this was a direct consequence of the soil in the Midwest being naturally deficient in iodine, leading to drinking water not naturally supplementing the diet of those who lived there. Iodized salt, introduced in the 1920s, almost completely eradicated goiter in the developing world.

However it's misguided. Cost of labor is still 10x higher than a plant with the same productivity in a relatively poorer country. American manufacturing is mostly indirect social welfare now, it's not economically efficient.

Speculation is made either way without datapoints. What's the harm in being transparent if at worst some spurious (but provably spurious) correlations mislead a few people already prone to mistrust? Higher transparency would also dissolve a lot of the claims that the pharmaceutical companies are "hiding" something regarding the actual effectiveness of their vaccines and therapeutics.

At a lunch meeting after seeing Cars I came up with the idea that there should be two more Cars movies. Still Pixar hasn't sent me any royalties for my idea.

One step closer to Porkin' Across America irl

Sorry but the silicon valley ethos is that only geniuses matter. Everyone else, the 99% non-savants, aren't relevant and can be discarded when needed.

30 years on and now we have rounded corners.

Does induction generally work for sets of n given any precondition?

Anyone who's dealt with iffy deadlines and mediocre management knows that without clear progress metrics and negative consequences for failure, nothing will happen.

forgetting to carry a 1 makes a lot of sense knowing GPT-3 is just a giant predict before-after model. Seeing 2000 problems it probably gets a good sense of how numbers add/subtract together, but there's not enough specificity to work out the specific carrying rule.

I don't disagree with you on the effectiveness of masks but tuberculosis bacterial cells are far larger than coronavirons.
