Not Indian, but I suspect that Christianity has a lot of bits and pieces that would be extremely attractive to Dalits. Early Christianity was the religion of slaves, soldiers, and other low status individuals in Roman society. Thus the scriptures are packed full of positive references towards the poor, the meek, and the downtrodden. But even more important, christian teachings emphasis a lot about moral equality in life and death; all people are inherently sinners, and all believers get the same treatment in death regardless of status or wealth. This is, I assume, an extremely attractive proposition if you feel burned by a religion that says that your low status is the fault of a past you, and that in death your best hope is a slightly higher status the next time around.

I do find it fascinating how a converted Dalit is basically freed from the social burdens of their class. I would not have expected that, as most religious groups heap scorn or actual punishments on those who convert to another religion.
Isn’t it true that in all cases of copyright violation the party who believe their rights are being infringed has to first ask the other party to stop, usually called a cease and desist notice.
Where I work we use a lot of jetbrains IDE's and I've been a massive fan of Intellij, I absolutely love it when I can show someone something that makes their life easier.

Whether it's how to implement an external program properly using all the expansions or how to use bookmarks (how people can use an IDE for years and not find that is a good question).

I've always RTFM of whatever tool I'm using as the first step then I go look at the default keybindings to see what else there is.

The one that blows people away though is the custom exporters you can write for data views, oh you want that result set in a PHP array for a test set, yeah Copy as PHP has you.

Intellij is absurdly powerful without writing custom plugins (which is my next step I guess).

Easy for me to say, but if I were you, assuming you’re in the USA, I’d own the hell out of it. To be ashamed of it here is to give power needlessly to whole populations who do not own you. And the States love an underdog.

This is the country where “Yankee Doodle” started out as an anti-American insult by the Brits and ended up being one of the nation’s favorite songs. The nation that used the N-word seriously until around 1965, then by 1975 it had been completely co-opted by people like Richard Prior, and later hip-hop artists. Just so you know, I am married to someone whose parents forbade her to go out with me because of my race. Before I married her another girlfriend stopped dating me because I wasn’t black. Before that, another girlfriend’s parents tried to stop her relationship with me because I wasn’t Jewish. Now that I have a passel of mixed-race kids... guess who makes endless racial jokes? All of us. It drives our friends crazy.

I’d have a DALIT license plate. I’d have a line of DALIT T-shirts. I’d shove it right in people’s faces for the sheer enjoyment of it. I would totally kill it with the DALIT merch.

To clarify, The Tutorial on Fairness Accountability Transparency and Ethics in Computer Vision is not a technical presentation, it is very much a intersectionalistic take on the topic, more concerned with power, oppression, and social justice than engineering.

Suggested technical solutions [1 above] was exactly one sentence and the only sentence in the presentation that suggested any sort of technical approach, presented without elaboration, and the recommended solutions like Counterfactual Testing are also methods for fixing the training data.

The remaining 99% of the presentation was spent on the idea that if AI engineers and scientists were more diverse and attended more diversity training, the models they produce hopefully wouldn't be biased.

This whole caste thing sucks. It is, in some ways, even the worst form of racism if you ask me. Because it so subtle and almost invisible to outsiders. I know it is for me, some white person yelling the n-word at a person of colour is easy to spot. Same goes for north-africans in France, Turks in Germany, Pakistanis and Indians in the UK... Little slurs between castes, not so much. And it seems to be almost impossible to hide the caste, it seems.
The constant request for more and more "context" is textbook Sealioning [1]. When faced with an overwhelming video evidence of misconduct, the only viable way to deny it is to endlessly seek out some kind of magical exculpatory "missing context".

In what way does it lead a reader to believe something that is untrue from the actual page? Are you saying that the actual page does not describe a vote to repeal proposition 209?

From the page:

> A "yes" vote supports this constitutional amendment to repeal Proposition 209 (1996), which prohibited the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting.

Some of the text that would be removed from the CA constitution:

> The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.

Please try to think about this.

Are you referring to someone who is a dalit servant in a wealthy house? That's how I'm reading it at the moment but realize you could mean it a few different ways.
Sorry you feel that it’s dumb, because it’s not so much a formula as the basic concept (in words) of a expected value, which is perhaps the most fundamental concept in statistics, ML, decision theory, game theory, economics, medical decision and more. As I mentioned, the application of this concept gets much spicier (and more useful) once you start accounting for random variables, priors, model assumptions, etc. There are centuries of academic and practical thought devoted to these topics.

The “definition” of risk that I gave is a useful heuristic, even for my cat. He seems to calculate the probability of being caught on the kitchen counters, conditional on the number of people home and the time of day. He knows that he may get spritzed for violations and can balance this against the reward (simply chillin’ = stern warning; eviscerating a briefly undefended loaf of fresh challah = direct barrage from the water bottle). Clearly, this shrewd exploitation of Lady Luck is a learned behavior. (Whether is consciously strategic behavior or just serendipitously adaptive cat programming is actually immaterial in the game theoretic sense—mixed strategy Nash equilibria that result from evolutionary dynamics are equivalent to those that arise from strategic deduction).

Anyways, you’re right that the original motivation for probability theory and expected value was to “get money” (via gambling): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_points

> It sounds like you're looking at things purely from the point of view of getting the correct average for a group

No, I'm looking at things from the point of view of making a model that fits well to the original dataset and then is verified in the actual accuracy it makes over time.

If adding race-- or inferring race-- makes the model substantially better in predicting outcomes, is it right to do so? Credit default risk is correlated to race, even controlling for other variables. Hence, using race would help you make more accurate predictions.

> Being black is correlated with being poor and being poor is correlated with being a criminal and various other bad behaviors.

Not a great example; the direct correlation between being black and being a criminal is much, much larger than the indirect correlation from being black to being a criminal through being poor.

Which is to say, if blacks were criminal at the rate predicted by their poverty rate, they would be much, much less criminal than they actually are.

And that's the right way to look at it. If you can't then you shouldn't. It's not enough to build stuff and then to say 'oh, we can just fix these serious problems' afterwards if you're not able to foresee / structurally address them from the get go. Because it clearly shows a much more shallow understanding of the problem space than mere engineering can fix.
In many ways, it’s similar to the hierarchy if feudal titles in medieval Europe, with the serfs being legally tied to the land. It’s just shocking to see such a feudal anachronism continuing so long after the initial conditions that created it have ceased to exist.

> In a standard rational decision-making framework, if: cost of action < risk, then: take action.

Yes, but cost of action includes opportunity cost of not doing all the alternative actions for which you now suddenly don’t have the time.

Which makes rational decision making incredibly hard!

Example: focus all the effort on preventing climate change by reducing CO2 right now, or work on improving GDP for entire world so we have enough money and tech to mitigate the downsides?

> Bootloader unlock is under user control by definition - it won't happen unless you're physically interacting with the device.

Root exploits more common, but bootloader exploits aren't unknown. String them both together and you can remotely root a device, unlock the bootloader, install another OS, and relock the bootloader. All of this without removing apps or data; do it properly (custom recovery for flashing the new OS) and all the user knows is that the device wasn't working for a while (until they notice the giant new notification Google services puts up now, but some users don't even know what notifications are and either won't notice or will ignore it)

Note that some popular effective altruists have a little bit of tunnel vision when it comes to X-risks, which leads them to overfund X-risk-due-to-AI over something like, say, X-risk-due-to-asteroids. (X-risk-due-to-nanotech is being suitably supported by not funding nanotech.)

Plus, some people working on the AI X-risk problem are doing it for nothing, which means the state of funding is a bit weird.
> I do find it fascinating how a converted Dalit is basically freed from the social burdens of their class. I would not have expected that, as most religious groups heap scorn or actual punishments on those who convert to another religion.

Based on what I've read so far in people's responses to my question it makes a kind of sense. If you convert to a different religion, historically speaking, you are now "out of competition" in terms of marriages, allocation of dowry, so on. So since many people historically never married across religion, there's no problem being nice to people who aren't competing for your same economic resources.

Please note that I don't mean to indicate approval for any of these things, just that historically that's how it has played out.

Indeed.There are countries that reacted better than others, but that didn't make the problem go away: it was still a major disruption to the economy and a major health problem causing some people to die. The magnitude of those problems is affected by competence (and luck), but it's not one of those things where if you play by the book you're just going to be fine.

That may be the case, but much of the "piracy is justified" crowd seems to rely on an "ends-justify-the-means" approach to suggest that piracy is great. If everyone pirated software (or if even a significant portion of people did), it'd be much harder to make money off of building software. I say this as someone who has pirated plenty of software in my life. I just didn't delude myself into thinking that I wasn't doing something wrong.

I haven't followed the original debate, so not sure if this was a part of the argument against LeCun, but it could be:

The issue is LeCun makes an argument about fundamental research, but is not exactly a fundamental researcher, and does not necessarily represent fundamental research.

As an analogy, if you are a researcher of general chemistry, persumably there is no issue. However, if your research is specifically about chemistry for improving bullets, and you produce working prototypes, then some might say you should be subject to some regulation as a part of the arms industry. I'm not saying this is the right thing, just that such a point could be made. LeCun is arguably much more the second kind of researcher than the first. The research he represents is "better ways to recognize faces", not "statistical properties of natural images".

To take another example, there is an enormous amount of regulation in, say, medical research. And in this case there are good reasons for that. Gebru could be possibly arguing for something similar in say face recognition.

That is much less than 1% of the kids in youth services. A bit like saying we must have a million nuclear weapons in case there's another cold war in 200 years.

The answer to this question doesn't really matter for that reason.

The vast majority of kids are in foster care because otherwise their parents would be "unreachable" for social workers, for various reasons, like refusing psych treatment for their kid that the school insists on, like autism treatment for "difficult" children, sometimes just because they can't because treatment can only happen during working hours, but the parents need to work. Meaning they are hostages to "force change". That group is huge. Next largest group are kids suspected of a crime. Keep in mind that the way our law works kids don't have any legal rights. They may be convicted of a crime but for kids there is no difference between suspected and convicted.

The thing is, with just kids in youth services that really NEED to be somewhere the current system cannot possibly survive.
Historically speaking, most ancient societies had something similar, one way or the other. What is really interesting, is that India is the only country I know of, that codified that system religiously and carried it into the 21st century.

Not to say that there is an society without discrimination and social disparity. But only a few take it to the level the Indian caste system does.

That shows how tricky racism is, doesn't it? In the US it is African-Americans, in the UK Pakistanis and Indians, in Germany Turks and in France people from the Maghreb states. In India it is Muslims and castes, in China the Uigurs, in the Muslim world Suunits and Shiits (hope I spelled that right). In Turkey Turks and Kurds. And it all sucks. And it goes on and on, where ever you go.

Just saying, only because one Dalit wrote the constitution doesn't make the inherent discrimination and racism go away.
