Is that typically true? It seems the pattern is often:

person/group amass power -> things are okay for a while -> power corrupts and there's longrunning abuse of power -> [time] -> society eventually makes noise and/group gets destabilized/dies -> repeat
This is in reference to gender differences like extraversion, and make newborns dedicating more attention to things and female newborns dedicating more attention to people.

As far as this post's article, the rates are not vastly different results, most of the countries that observed fall within a range of 30%. If this were socially determined, we'd expect some countries to have 80-90% women in technology. That is not the case, all countries have majority male tech workforces, and they're mostly in the 15-35% range with some outliers on both ends.

Furthermore, what differences that are observed contradict the idea that rigid gender roles cause lower rates of women in tech. Countries with some of the strictest gender roles like south Korea and Algeria see the highest rates of women in tech.

Let's say you bring up an issue about a bug in software you're working on. Let's also say you didn't cause it. But the moment you talk about it, I respond, 'didn't the code you wrote yesterday have a bug?', 'isn't this code base from a reputed oss repo?' and so on.

Essentially my exact words don't mean that this is also your bug, but there is an (un)intended implication that you're a crappy developer. You're probably gonna latch on to that at the speed of light rather than giving a Data like logical response. That's the problem with bringing up such alternatives.

It alludes that women or minority will right away fall back to their gender or whatever when convenient. It also alludes that they don't know the weight of one such allegation, they aren't thinking about the effect it is going to have on their future employment opportunities (It so happens this kind of allegations true or not seriously affect your career, everyone starts to tiptoe around you at the least in your new job) - essentially attributes a lack of integrity and foresight.

IOW - I do agree that there is a very interesting question around what do we do about incompetent employees who happen to be a minority. I also know this line of responses are probably not going to be productive :)
You're being vague and deflecting here. In one comment you suggest that the cause is law and medicine being relatively less sexist, and here you just say, "well, we don't know why they did what they did." Well, which is it? What basis do you have for your earlier point?

> You don't, either.

Why would you even say this? The comment you responded to didn't have me asserting a reason why. It's like you're attacking a strawman.
Not exactly.

You could write python externally (cloud functions/aws lambda) and then use huginn to call that over HTTP. This doesn't require any coding. Huginn has existing agents that you can easily configure to make HTTP requests (PostAgent and WebsiteAgent).

And, depending what you are planning to do with huginn, simply sending data from your python script to huginn using the WebhookAgent may be sufficient.

> the issues are about the dominant group being blind to and then not accommodating the nondominant group's needs.

I do not think that is the problem of 80%+ one gender groups.

Imagine going into a store and see that 80%+ is the opposite gender. Before anyone has a chance of accommodating your need, what emotions pops up? Now compared that to going into the same store with the 80%+ being your own gender.

Going into an environment where you feel like a part of a dominating group give most people a feeling of security. They feel safe and what ever choice everyone else does is a safe choice to adapt. Entering a group where you are a minority has not just the absence of that, but can also induce a sense of insecurity.

This is one theory why countries like Sweden have a very extreme gender segregation of around 90% of men and 90% of women working in a gender segregated profession. From student to senior employee, every step is impacted in how secure the person feel in continuing with their career path, and the above effect influence how leaky the pipe get.

It seems like everyone says the problem is "lacking of understanding" but it doesn't seem like anyone "understands understanding" on the level that this seems to require.

>"Yes, we should embed programs with priors and reasoning beyond brute connectionism—and to that, most people agree;—but this understanding cannot live in the symbols, it must by necessity live in the structure of the computation."

I'd argue it needs to live in the computation and live in the symbols and be able transparently go between these. But how to make that work is still unknown.

I run Huginn in a Kubernetes cluster with most of its heavy lifting done by HTTP calls to OpenFaaS running in the same cluster. This let me write complex logic in Python but have Huginn handle the execution, triggers, filtering, and delivery of the data. Among other things I use it to scrape Twitter for interesting Kubernetes news and follow the retweets back to people who link to their own websites so that our editorial department can vet them for invitation into our writing program. Any particular author/account only appears once. It generates around 40 new candidates each day. I also use it to scrape the Chilean public alert website (onemi.cl) for alerts in my region ( forest fire, major weather), run those through the translate API and then send the English translations to my and my wife’s phones via Pushover.

These are things that I want to control and customize, and I vastly prefer running my own systems over trusting any third party.
But the 60's and 70's are when the representation levels started really diverging. That's the key part.

That they may be less sexist now, after having achieved gender parity or something close to it, is hardly unexpected. Of course a field with roughly even numbers is usually going to be less sexist than one dominated by one gender or another.
> they persevered and dealt with it because they weren't going to let it get in the way of their passion.

Yes, it is true that if someone is really passionate about something, then they will put up with a lot of bad things and problems.

But I am confused as to why you think this is a valid argument as for why society shouldn't try to solve these problems.

There is still a lot of value in fixing problems, so that people who would be otherwise interested, will want to join.
The real rub is there's hardly any incentive to make things play nice with eachother for a while. You buy a garage door opener, it works for 30 years. You get one that can interface with your smart speaker, and both are unsupported in a few years.

You end up paying far more, way more often, for something vaguely more convenient than the old method. A clap light.

On the flip side, with the expansion of IoT comes creativity for people willing to tinker. We are pretty lucky to have resources like github, raspberry pi, self hosted services, just options from the mainstream consumer ad spam crap if you are willing to stick your head under the hood.

So, to cut it short, if I'm not volunteering to lend my video feed to local police department by installing some additional plug-in that would download people faces from their DB and scanning the street for them, it shouldn't even attempt to by default.
How exactly would you measure social 'punishment' in response to negotiating in the real world?

Some things can only really be tested in artificial environments.

>This makes me think that these people are only staying at the hotel to steal things and choosing hotels accordingly, presumably using a stolen credit card as well to make them harder to track.

If they have a stolen credit card capable of getting charged into an expensive luxury hotel, they can do far lower risk / higher reward things than go into a hotel, use the card and risk arrest, to steal a mattress.

People really do steal things, even if they are rich. Tons of rich cleptomaniacs, and lots of others who are not addicted to stealing, but wouldn't think twice about getting a matresss from a hotel.

Credit is cheap of course you'll finance that house at 3.5% or buy the new 40k car at 2%. Spend spend spend is how we keep things afloat in hopes that when the music stops, _we_ aren't the ones left holding the bag.

I agree that easy credit has this awesome ability to mask over deep societal problems. We spend enough to not worry that we've built a lot of things on sand that may not hold up in a bad storm and it's so strange sometimes to watch.

I'm hoping we can avoid another 2008 or something worse but the current system seems unsustainable longterm. Something has to give for as long as we expect more money in the future

Obviously I agree that bad drivers deserve little sympathy. But not all human errors are down to bad drivers nor a lack of care.

> The less careful we are even when the mistake doesn't cause harm, the more frequently we'll make the mistake. Some feedback that made people be more careful, and pay more attention, would be good.

That only works if mistake are concious. My point is mistakes can be unintended like rowdy kids causing a distraction at the wrong time.

> The gap between these mistakes causing harm and not causing harm is basically just luck.

I agree. But also the gap between a good driver driving well and a good driver making an honest mistake because of a badly timed distraction is also just bad luck.

It's happened to me before -- I've ran a red light at temporary traffic lights after my 2nd child was born (so I was tired thus required sharper focus) and my 1st child was so excited about having a baby sister that he kept making a scene. For a fraction of a second I lost focus and that fraction of a second happened to be when I was approaching road works. I was lucky that it was a Sunday evening and driving along a quiet village road so there wasn't any other vehicles. But I still had ran a red light despite my best efforts of driving safely.

> And at a larger level: if we can't be bothered to be that careful...

It's not about people not making the effort to drive safely; it's about human error. If it were that easy to drive then we'd already have infallible autonomous cars but we don't because driving isn't actually all that easy. This is also why I'm fully in favour of all these new smart safety features that autonomy has introduced; they help reduce the impact of the worst instances of human error.

Just to recap: I have little sympathy for bad or negligent drivers. I just want to remind people that it's easy to demonise others but sometimes actions are genuine flukes of bad luck.

I agree with you. There was a really good episode of Blue Bloods about this issue. And the writers of Blue Bloods got it completely wrong. The problem is they portrayed the pro-encryption side of the argument negatively, and didn't do it any kind of justice. In the end the Police Commissioner guilted a tech executive to lend him "an engineer" to unlock a smartphone containing sensitive data.

That is how this argument is portrayed to the public. "Well if you aren't hiding anything then you have nothing to worry about!"

Sure. In fact, take any category of power relations; these are categories of people, related by power over one another. Then, the dual category is one of responsibility relations.

To say that Prima has power over Secunda is to say that Prima can alter Secunda's environment arbitrarily. However, this is equivalent to Secunda requiring certain open-ended alterations to their environment, and being unable to establish those alterations without Prima.

No matter how many times one goes around the concept, one cannot be responsible without having the power to enact the responsibility, and one cannot be empowered without having expectations on the use of that power.

iv) Make money as fast as you can.
