> That's the entire point of the article, our biases, as reflected in the world, are learned by models.

They are not biased if they represent reality based on facts.

In fact, the main issue is that while these algorithms fit reality as it actually is, the critics crying "bias" are complaining that these algorithms don't fit what they believe reality should be.

In other words, the algorithms output predictions that matches reality but critics argue that they should instead be manipulated to output results that suits their ideals.

But that has nothing to do with having a bias.

> When would you want to hack the AI?

This is not a meaningful phrase - it adds literally nothing to the conversation but confusion. To bend over backwards to give you a reasonable answer: when you're interested in conditional effects.

Let's say you're interested in the risk of cancer associated with alcohol consumption. People who drink some are often found to have lower cancer rates than people who don't drink at all. Reasonable models adjust for wealth/income - estimating the risk of cancer association with alcohol CONDITIONING ON wealth/income changes the picture; the positive association is clear.

Adjusting for confounding is "removing bias", changing the effect estimates.

In a predictive context, using ensembles, NNs etc, the problems don't go away, they're just sometimes harder to detect (and they're dressed up in sexy marketing-speak like "AI").

Repeat after me three times:

"AI is not a magic truth telling oracle"
"AI is not a magic truth telling oracle"

I'm not saying there should not be a mechanism for regulating that sort of stuff.

BUT on StackOverflow it is entirely normal, even expected, that you post a well thought out and reasoned question and its instantly downvoted because, well, who knows why? Drive-by downvoting is simply negative.

A different mechanism could be used for the sorts of issues you identify.

The pros are only size related. Size at all costs is excusable as a consumer or prosumer product, but most of the users of the high end pro's want power, cooling, good ports, reliability, and certainly upgradability. The 2012's were so nice featuring 2 internal sata connections and removable ram. Those computers weren't too thick in my mind, so for a pro, I think they have their objectives mixed up.
I could just as easily say you are looking at a biological difference and inferring a societal bias. Just because it doesn't exist in the same proportion everywhere doesn't mean that the difference is not biologically based. There are endless confounding factors that would lead to variations in different locations. The fact that the overall difference stems from biological differences doesn't require universal equivalence of the effect.

For example men on average have more muscle mass than women. If you found a random population of women that had proportionally higher muscle masses compared with their male peers, that doesn't discount the biological fact.

The problem there is that ecommerce vendors are usually offering products on a variety of channels where price is a major factor in the buying decision. The product is going to be listed in Google shopping, it may have the price attached to organic results, it might be listed on a third party clearinghouse, etc..

And in those cases it's going to show up next to other merchants selling the same product. Inflating the price by factoring shipping into it can hurt your sales. That's why many sellers offer free shipping on orders of a certain size where the profit is large enough to cover the shipping loss.

And, of course, what happens when a customer buys multiple items? Now they're potentially paying for shipping more than once.

Shipping is really the core reason Amazon usually wins. No one can compete with their multi-billion dollar distribution system.

If only retailers with similar physical infrastructure (Walmart, Kroger, et al) hadn't been so late in building the technology to compete. Even now any chain with an existing, large warehouse and distribution system could introduce a cheaper FBA type system for merchants and capture part of the market while giving smaller MFRs and retailers a way to reasonably compete with Amazon on shipping.

Sadly they're all old school brick and mortar organizations which are notoriously bad at tech.

What is your personal experience, and where have you drawn the line?
Some of my earliest memories as a child was watching my dad working on a huge model railway set that he built when I was only about 3 or 4. We had an entire room of a house dedicated to his train hobby. Strangely, when we moved house, my father never recreated the same thing in any of the other places we lived. It was almost as if he completely turned his back on that passion and hobby.

I never thought about it until my 40th birthday when he presented me with some of the carriages and engines that he had saved even after we had emigrated to Australia (we had sold/burned/threw out most of our possessions for the move).

I am sure those old Fleischmann models are worth a bit nowadays as collectors items, and when he gave them to me, it made me realise how much that hobby meant to him and how much he must have missed it for all those years that he couldn't go to his room and spend time with his trains.

Do you remember the elaborate HBO title card that ran before their movies in the 1980s? They built an entire city, and some surrounding backroads and suburbs, in miniature to dolly the camera through before the HBO logo (itself built of wood and covered with sheet metal) spun at you -- even going so far as to place tiny model prostitutes on the street corners.

The only computer directly involved in production was used to control the sliding of two pieces of film to produce a "flare" effect late in the sequence.

Supply vs Demand.

There is a lot of demand for high rises close to city center and not enough supply of those buildings for the entire population.

Similar to how all real estate works really. Pick any small town Kentucky and you'll find housing prices that are dirt cheap with huge lots. Why do you find those? Because very few people want to live in tiny towns in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, privacy in meatspace is a lost cause. Cameras everywhere. Around us. Carried by us. Overhead. Plus DNA sampling. Total surveillance.

Even so, here in my office, there are no cameras. And only heavily draped windows. And no audio, for anything that's private.

And so it's only my online activity that can be at all private. What a strange world.

Why would you want to crack Sublime Text anyway? The only things it does is shows (unregistered) in the title bar and pops up a nag dialog on saves (not sure the timing, maybe 4th save after launching). I didn't pay for a separate license for my lab pc, since I don't really tend to develop much at my electronics bench and mostly just need to occasionally check code.

Why would anyone want to bother cracking it? I can understand a student not being able to afford $70, but as-is there's no real loss of features. I just don't get it.

(edit) I thought I'd add, the reason I know it's useful w/o registering is that I got through school using ST. Bought a license with my first paycheck out of school.

The biggest difference, however, is that almost all cyber crimes are preventable.

The level of op-sec in most large companies, personal accounts, and even critical infrastructure is abysmal. Once a vulnerability is discovered and a patch is released, the bad guys know they have a guaranteed in if they act quick enough. And they do. All they have to do is beat the Sysadmins.

Here’s a hypothetical:
MS discloses a vulnerability in Word and advises an immediate update. Well, the SysAdmin is overworked and can’t get to it this week. Friday, Suzy in HR gets an email with a malicious word doc. She opens it.

The bad guys are in. And chances are, word isn’t the only piece of software that missed a vulnerability patch. The hacker gets privilege escalation and crypto-locks the computer. And of course, there were no backups of the data. So, the company pays the 35K or whatever in bitcoin.

Where could this have been stopped?

- Better updating protocols for vulnerable software
- Teaching Suzy in HR not to open random file attachments
- Frequent, immutable backups

Only one of those things has to happen, and you wouldn’t have had to pay a single satoshi to the bad guys.
The problem is that the problem of bias is undefined, so there's no correct solution or even authority to turn to. We do see problems with systems taking data as gospel, but when the data itself have undesirable patterns, we're at loss at what to do.

Of course, simply saying this triggers some creativity: You could generate artificial data and train on that. However, the problem is then to generate "unbiased" artificial data, and somehow make it useful! ;-)

So who's vision should be realized, then becomes the problem, or solution for some subset of people.
Alternatively, maybe we could come up with a way to deal with those questions that is better than down voting.

Let time, and lack of up votes, sink them? Have moderators hide them with a FRIENDLY "Hey, we've hidden your post because it doesn't meet 'these requirements', once you've edited, we'll review it and show it again." message. If they don't improve, keep it hidden, tell them to do better. If they still don't improve, delete it, and require any new questions they post to be moderated first. If another question ends up deleted, don't let them post any more.

Basically, give feedback in a positive manner with the goal of getting that person to do better. It may seem like more work, but I think it would be much more rewarding than what I've seen on Stack Overflow and other support forums.

The intent was quite different, I didn't see a reading of that sentence that involved motivation but now that it has been pointed out I can see that it is the most obvious one. My intent was more about the outcomes of a tax but that wasn't expressed.

What I wanted to say was something more like "No political decision has perfect support, and many cause stark divisions. But taxpayers financially support all the decisions taken and they will be vehemently opposed to some of the things they fund".
> The identity applies to “Hermitian” matrices, which transform eigenvectors by real amounts (as opposed to those that involve imaginary numbers), and which thus apply in real-world situations.

This is a weird characterization of Hermitian matrices — this implies that rotations are not ‘real-world’.
Can confirm. Spent 12 years at a tech magazine and was making $70K at the end. Was laid off for being too expensive. Now I work at a large tech company and make double that. Oh, and no one threatens my life if I get a detail wrong anymore, so that's an improvement. Honestly, being a journalist is like working in a kitchen. Super high stakes and everyone is always 1 step away from complete panic and super stressed out, yet no one is paid enough to make that kind of pressure worth while. At least in journalism, you get access, a modicum of power, and the ability to change the world around you. As a chef, it's just insane pressure for no real world-changing reason.
I'm a bit surprised no one has talked about the price. Starting at 2400$US? That's... a lot.

For anyone who is going to use this as their primary computer, the real price is 2800$.

That's a lot... Who is the end consumer here? Folks who are computer illiterate and want 'the best' laptop apple has to offer?

Laptops promote poor posture, can't match desktop speeds and are expensive! Their use-case to me is limited to business people who hop from meeting to meeting all day, but then you don't need the horsepower and will be fine with a 500$ option.
This is still riding on a "real" diamonds coat tails. There's no reason they should be this expensive but you're not helping either.

Seconded. I frequently mistype L/R as up/down, and this is infuriating when striking 'command' + arrow to go to the beginning/end of the line (an extremely common op for me), and instead going to the top/bottom of the file, completely losing my place.

Google didn't add any "laws" around that data though.

The laws were already quite strict (HIPAA) and the data relatively inaccessible.

Google jumped through all the hoops to get it. And an exclusive contract never hurts no matter what the service. (Logistics, payment processor, etc.)
Except for devices which have a hardwired cable, you can get USB-C to USB-whatever and nearly all, if not all, professional equipment I know of does not have hardwired cables. So in the worst case, you need to replace your cables and in the best case, you now have four direct ports, more than any portable Mac has had since the transition to USB-C. And for the cases where the connection must be USB-A adapters are small and reliable.

If you haven't used a USB-C/Thunderbolt-3 notebook, being able to go from portable to charging, full size monitor, peripherals, external storage, etc. with one cable is a welcome change.

Apple's commitment to supporting legacy ports (albeit through adapters) is pretty good, in my experience. As an anecdote, I needed to get some data off of an old Firewire 400 hard drive and linked Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2, Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire 800, Firewire 800 to 400 cable into the drive and it mounts like it would on a direct connection.

That depends on which key you're referring to. On the Macbook, the left arrow key is right next to the up/down half-keys. If you touch to the right and you're hitting another full key, you're not at the arrow key.

Again, I don't understand how the bump on the F key works but somehow the giant dip in between the two up/down keys is the problem...?

It's hard to be the recipient of downvotes.

At the same time it's a great tool for assessing the quality of posts. It's the same reason HN allows downvotes.

However the dynamic of SO is different. Users are coming to the site to get help and solve problems, not to have open-ended discussions.

SO should have a grace period for new questions. No downvotes during the first 1-2 hours. Aside from being less discouraging for new users it would also mitigate cases of incorrect downvoting. A negative score is a signal to other users that a question is not worth consideration, and dissuades possible answerers from providing a solution.
The GP seems to be referring to the (today illegal) practice from South Asia wherein the bride's family is required to provide a payment to the groom's family as part of a marriage contract, a practice which was is itself a reflection of the traditional state of disempowerment of women.

The British colonists, upon observing the similarities of this custom to their own, applied the English term "dowry" to it. The practice, while largely extinct in mainstream British society, has held on in parts in South Asia (though many modern South Asians consider it abhorrent), and therefore its modern colloquial use is more connected to the South Asian custom.

There is a separate practice of the bride's parents gifting her with items of jewelry which are intended to be her sole property - a sort of insurance policy against an unreliable husband - and not that of the groom or his family. Whether that was honored or not obviously depended a lot on the situation. This practice has actually continued relatively unabated, and it is partially responsible for the high demand for gold in South Asia during wedding seasons.
I find the best deals are where shipping is separate. With free shipping I have to pay for the rare person in remote areas (Alaska...) who costs a lot more to ship to. By separating shipping my costs are much less.

The above applies ONLY when the shipping charge is the actual shipping charge. All the big shippers make it easy to figure out what shipping a package will cost so you should know when I click add to cart what the costs are. (As a bonus it would be nice if you would tell me which item in my cart costs so much to ship - some things are worth buying locally because retail can use cheaper shipping to the store)

This law frequently refers to "selling consumers' personal information". But hardly any company actually sells personal information. Google doesn't sell your personal information, Facebook doesn't sell your personal information. Companies use your personal information to match you to advertising, not to sell the information directly. So laws forbidding the sale of personal information sort of pointless.

At first I thought that this PDF was just describing the proposed law in an inaccurate manner. But no, the CCPA really does talk a lot about "selling your personal information". https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/privacy/ccpa-p...
