Right, but often groups are extremely hostile to apostates because apostasy represents an existential threat towards the religion itself. This is why many religions require a formal shunning of apostates, if not explicit punishment. Talleyrand famously had a meal of ice wine and cold meat after being excommunicated in 1791 since good Christians were supposed to deny him “fire and water”; a cute anecdote at the time, but a potentially fatal prescription during medieval or ancient times.

Hearing about a benefit of apostasy, from members of ones former religion no less, is quite surprising.

I feel my interpretation differs at:

I don't think his comment was addressing the larger ethical discussion at all. I didn't interpret it as a discussion of ethical responsibilities, rather a strictly technical, matter-of-fact statement about the nature of ML training.

Please don't interpret my comment as an attack on yours, it was more pointing out I interpreted his statement differently.

Honestly, I can do almost all of these things with any standard editor as well, with standard shortcuts.

The ones I can't do directly, I can do via Search/Replace
functionality that is also standard in most modern editors.

Your example about refactoring a function by using text editing capabilities is actually pretty bad unless you mean Vim can actually parse your programming language and perform the refactoring over all your code-base (not just a single file), like any IDE will do.

This list you gave me just convinced me I don't need Vim.

The layoffs and restructuring in 2015 was to get slimmer for a sale. Guy sold 90% of the company off right after for 1.5 billion. Cirque has been run by bean counters since even before the sale even went through.

Covid is destroying the entire entertainment industry. Huge entertainment companies, staging and rental industry, broadway theaters, touring etc are just getting hammered. In some ways, Cirque is more likely to come through than most since they have the cash flowing in from Quebec government.
It's mixed. Some countries have it regulated, but legal, others, like Sweden, make it legal to sell sex, but illegal to buy.

What I’m reading is that researchers are getting mobbed for reporting their results. What are they supposed to do? Not report results? Report false results?

Then they go on to say this it can’t be solved by changing the dataset. Okay, exactly what are the researchers supposed to do, aside from give up and go into sociology?

> Presumably black people who are great loan customers would be incorrectly refused by a system based on fashion or addresses alone,

Strawman. The question is whether predictions are improved by using race (or direct proxies for race), not whether it'd be wise to use proxies for race alone.

Loan default rates are higher for disadvantaged minorities, even after controlling for many, many other variables (income, neighborhood, level of education, etc). Therefore, using race (or inferring race) improves prediction quality, but is ethically dubious.
As a non-Indian person living in the US, I have wondered about this.

What role does caste still play in the year 2020? And, specifically, in middle-class society in the US and in India? Does it play any role in tech companies in India?
Income is also an order of magnitude different between the US and Ecuador. So the cost is pretty similar between the two options in terms of peoples' ability to pay.

EU doesn't use their secret intelligence against allies for economical gain, US clearly does.
If it's so easy to fix the bias, then why isn't it fixed, always? That should be the expectation.

More likely, the reason that bias isn't routinely fixed is that it isn't easy, and these kinds of biases do make it into production systems. Which makes it a net positive in my view that the occasional shitstorm reminds society of this fact.

Can that be unpleasant for AI researchers? Sure... but if it bothers then, then perhaps they could focus their research on trying to fix the problem?

Physicists had and have unpleasant conversations about their moral responsibility for nuclear weapons. Other fields of research should take their moral responsibilities seriously as well (not just AI research, by the way).
Yes, there is a big difference between predicting an occurrence and theoretically knowing about it's possibility / eventual occurrence.

I don't get it. Whatever you call "stakes" is just a personal goal set by yourself. It is by definition imaginary. An athlete cares about winning in sports competitions because he put a lot of work in it. In other words the athlete created his own stakes and conditioned himself to believe a certain thing is important. I don't care because I decided to not create these stakes for myself and therefore athletic performance is not very important.

The survival instinct is also a stake that living things create for themselves.
The best answer for that question is in 99% of cases (light offenders) also in prison (not locked up. With the mother still taking them to school, ideally the same school). There's research that this is both the best for the child and a very effective way to reduce recidivism.

And let's not forget that there really aren't that many effective ways to reduce recidivism, so this ought to be worth a lot to society.

Generally carrots work a LOT better than sticks.

One possible approach is to make a model that besides its intended prediction also predicts race, and penalise its ability to predict race with probability larger than random. If the model has representations that can't predict race, then it will have to use non-biased features to make its predictions. But I guess in many situations this would degrade the accuracy and it will not be welcome from a business point of view.
Would it be similar to how a British person might recognize a posh individual?
Its not just remnants. In major cities like Bangalore caste is regularly a part of who people will rent their house or sell their property to and is definitely a major part of marriage discussions. All Indian dating portals have caste up front and center in their selection criteria.

This story needs an indepth article that explores why the cops couldn't trace him. Was he ever a suspect, was he going so far outside his home area that no one saw him as a suspect. Why didn't his absences from his family connect him? Why did he do it - even for angry people, this kind of acting out and attacks is far far outside normal behavior of course.

Funny you mention heathens, heretics and kafirs. All of these are people who are non-believers in their corresponding religions. Dalits are actually believers in Hinduism. No other religion in the world discriminates against the very people who chose to adopt it, except Hinduism.

I'll reiterate, it's very rare in other religions and uncommon. Mostly remnants of Hinduism. But ask an average muslim or a christian his caste and he will say that he doesn't have one.

Could it be that a good fraction of those "excess deaths" is caused by people choosing not to seek (or being unable to get) medical help with the conditions they already have? 2.65 million people die in the US in an average year in total, most of things like cancer or heart disease. Some of those things you can treat, some you can't nowadays, because procedures are "elective" and hospitals don't do them.
Some master-level mental acrobatics I assume? Because, if you work really hard to convince yourself, a caste is neither race (at least for white folks, all castes are Indian aren't they), nor Religion (they are all Hindu, right?) or sex (as long as you don't distinguish between men and women). So everything is fine, and we (HR), don't have to do anything, case closed, back to lunch.

Happy to see the thing blowing up, so.

EDIT: Fixed Hindi to Hindu
For the people killed and their relatives and friends? Yes, for sure.

Considering all the suffering going on in the world? No, not at all.

There was a huge overreaction to 9/11 in the US which caused much more suffering than the event itself.

They do that as well. It‘s called channel memberships. Though they are nowhere near Twitch yet in terms of funcionality.

You need to in the Partner program and have 30‘000 subs though (1000 for gaming content).

This is obviously very important for YouTube Gaming. They are (finally) getting into bundling one membership per month with YouTube Premium.

This is IMO the single most reason why Twitch is so successful. They should’ve copied Twitch Prime much earlier. The fact that kids can use their free sub a month from their parents Amazon Prime sub was a stroke of genius.

Yeah so let’s merge those categories to a same one within corporate, something like “internal externalized product business risks” so both the boss and classification isn’t wrong

(and ideally cut/reroute/raise the pay according to requisite nursing for idiot bossman)
If I am getting the drift right here, the root of the problem is that the Product Org is not prioritising well, and putting an upper limit on the total story points pushed in a release ?

That would lead to a large number of stories being classified as "Priority" and left to engineering to figure out how to deliver.

Separate Product Orgs, like or hate it, are not going away anytime soon. If anything, I believe they will become more ubiquitous.

Probably what we need is not more and better ticketing system, but better prioritisation systems, with well defined upper limits on how many story points can be released at once.
This is because it's not just a poverty problem, but also a class problem, with a healthy dose of racism mixed in to keep the status quo.

Lower class people are excluded from many (and sometime most) parts of society through harassment, violence, ostracism, or even through legal means (India's untouchables are a good example, or Japan's burakumin). As a result, they stop identifying with anyone outside of their class, and not only don't care what violence and misfortune befalls the other class, but are much more willing to contribute to it, given a good enough opportunity.

When you blend poverty and classism, you have the perfect mix for despair, because 99% of people born to this state have literally no hope of ever escaping it, which makes the criminal route a MUCH more attractive option, since virtually every legal means is barred to you by your class, and the few that remain are such long shots that you'll probably waste your whole life chasing them if you did (unless you get lucky).

I lived in the USA for many years and saw it quite clearly: the rage, the despair, the hatred. And I really can't say I blame the downtrodden for their reaction to this kind of systemic injustice, especially since they are treated this way the moment someone sees the color of their skin (the Irish and Italians of old could at least LOOK like the upper class with enough effort). How can someone who is identified as low class on-sight be anything but angry and frustrated?
Thanks, very helpful.

I wonder if radio astronomy could put some limits on the obscured by dust scenario. I suppose it's unlikely for the star to be bright enough in such bands, would raise more questions than answers. But maybe astronomy is just one unlikely event after another.
I'm a Tesla shareholder (110 shares), and I voted against that awful proposal to mess with Musk's compensation. His leadership is the reason Tesla is what it is today, and without that, I would not have any expectation of further growth, which would lead me to dump my shares.

Tesla is likely to be worth 10-20k per share by 2024 as long as Musk is still CEO, and they keep executing as they have been so far. So please, don't try to "help" us shareholders, because all you'll do is hurt us.

Is there blaming going on? Like, for example do the other casts blame the warrior cast(Kshatriya) for screwing up against the British?

What I'm trying to find out is, if these casts are dependent on each other as if profession running in the family or are simply a way to organize within from top down with no cooperation of communities but exploitation. If the latest is the case, I wonder if there were uprisings and such.

HR seems to work as much for the powers to be and the status-quo as they do for the "company". As one German career consultant famously said: "Companies don't have interests, people do. And the most important people for your career are your managers". As much as I hate tjyis statement, for all practical purposes it is true. Very short-sighted, as almost all big business scandals show. But still true.

Very healthy reaction to russian propaganda. They usually act in a semi-valid points to slowly deliver 'lie-point' that have nothing to do with the reality. It's difficult to catch them with direct lie, but you see their signature in a mile after some experience. I went to look for the history of this guy just after reading one-line comment and sure enough I have found more examples of what I've suspected.

>It's chock full of the same childishness

Here I think, while it's indeed childishness, the threat of it not childish at all and I think underestimated. It's very dangerous propaganda weapon that proven to work well for Russian aggression for some time now. I wish people like you would take that into account and see threat for what it is.

Again, not all of them; speaking from personal experiences. Most of those sites have a "don't know/don't care" field, and many have that option set :) I agree that the field itself shouldn't be there, but I tend to highlight progress wherever possible

I don't deny this happens, but it doesn't happen _all_ the time, or even the majority of the times nowadays (I can only say what I've experienced, I know others would have seen differently).

EU is a collection of many countries with their unique laws, even if the principles might be similar. I can only speak of Finnish law.

Our constitution simply states that no-one can be treated unequally, without acceptable reason, based on race, sex etc etc or any other trait related to the person itself.

So caste discrimination would be illegal here as it is a reason based on the person. The loophole of ”Acceptable reason” there is mostly to allow them to put only people with testicles in mandatory military service without it going against constitution.

Not sure how accurate it was or how well I remember it but I once read an article that explained that your higher dexterity hand/limb(s) requires more conscious effort to reach the the same level of muscle utilization as a side effect of more sensitive nerve endings used for dexterity. And further speculated that the higher dexterity limb worked the muscles slightly more efficiently which can lead to slightly more muscle development in the non-dominate limb to balance out overutilization/less-efficient non-dominant limb. Suppose to be true for both arms and legs. However they did note that it only takes a small workout bias between limbs to surpass the small possibly natural differences in limb strengths.

Guardrails are so idiotic: people are always bumping into them and getting annoyed. It'd probably be best if we just removed most if not all of them. /s

The thing about regulations is you can always cherry-pick a couple mind-boggling stupid ones. But then there are the ones that look silly, but only if you've never experienced or witnessed the problem they were meant to solve.
I mean, the RuTracker thread identified it as malicious long before this report ever came out. A few people running sandbox tools, firewalls and host based IDS tools will catch pretty much all malware quickly based on behavior alone.

I used to swear by Outpost Firewall as it was able to do things like detect applications adding to startup, injecting into other processes, gaining raw disk access, reading your browser profile for passwords, communicating with any unexpected hosts, etc. This is enough to rapidly identify most malware packaged with pirated software immediately. This isn't some advanced targeted attack, it's a script kiddie packing ransomware, password dumpers like iStealer, RATs like DarkComet, etc. The kind of thing these tools are designed to detect.
