> It's not the job of the AI researcher to solve "social biases" in every field, it's their job to build the AI.

No, this is only technically correct but actually wrong. In the example, they did in fact fail to build the AI, as is their job. "Recognize white faces" is a lame research goal, "recognize human faces" is the real thing. So if somebody builds an AI system that fails on out-of-sample data, then says that had they tried to do it properly they would have succeeded, that's a pretty lame excuse for a poor AI system. They didn't even do their job in the narrow sense that you're using, you don't even need to consider the "social biases" or whatever, it's just a system that didn't work. In fact, many years into this research program, "focussing on his task and correcting it" (working on all human faces) is still not done given the current performance of these systems, but they are quite sure it can be done if they tried.
All sides agree there is an issue around fair implementations of ML algos in the real world. There are two ways this can happen:

1) The model uses biased data when it could have used unbiased data.

2) The model uses biased data when no unbiased data exists and is incapable of correcting for these discrepancies.

The first case is most clearly and engineering/implementation issue, the second is obviously not. Biased data is a known failure case of ML, its the responsibility of researchers to design for it.

I use the vim plugin inside of VSCode and it's perfect for me. I would never go back to just VIM, or just an IDE. but my best use case for vim modes is stuff like: [c]hange [i]nside ["], where wherever your cursor inside inside of a "string", you can just press ci" and can immediately start typing a new string to fill it. And then this same thing can be changed to ci{ to change everything in {} to change a function, or ci( to change a function's paramaters, etc.

Then theres stuff like [c]hange un[t]ill [x], to change everything up to a certain character.

or [y]ank [i]nside ["], to 'yank' (copy) the text inside of a string and be able to paste it immediately anywhere I want to. It's verbs and sentences that you're writing in VIM modes.

Do modern editors have these kinds of keyboard shortcuts?

In general I think vim users are extremely bad at explaining why vim modes are so good, as I never use 5w. Am I really going to count how many words ahead I have to go? No, i'll just press [f]ind char to the word I have to go to.

The biggest thing about vim is that it doesn't make you more efficient or faster, it just eliminates the time you have to think about how to edit text once you internalize it, which I know doesn't sound likely because the keybindings are so strange. But know that I've learned it, i genuinely don't think about it, and every time I'm not in VIM and have to move my mouse and click on a character I feel like I lose my train of thought of where I was in the code
The book Geometrical Vectors does exactly that. In fact, it considers the gradient vector to be a different kind of vector than a normal distance vector. If I have a vector between two points, and I compress space so that the points move closer together, then the distance vector gets smaller. However, the gradient vector gets bigger. The gradient is basically a density, it's units are units-of-whatever-your-taking-the-gradient-of / meters.

And, or course, the vector you get from a cross product only has 3 degrees of freedom because we live in a 3D world. The cross product of two 2D vectors is a scalar, the cross product of two 4D vectors needs 6 numbers to describe it. Even in 3D, if you reflect the original vectors in a mirror, the cross product now points the opposite direction, i.e. it depends on the handednes of the coordinate system.
> Extremely hard to scale in what sense? A single redis server running on fairly commodity hardware can serve some pretty intense loads (10s of thousands of ops/sec).

~90k/sec on a single core of L5520. Scaling Redis is a premature optimization for 99.99% of the use cases. While it may be sexy to talk about millions of ops per second that one's project does in reality the number of projects that have that as a requirement is probably barely in triple digits globally.

I've played around with a few other boards besides Pi, and I'm always let down by the kernel support. A lot of them are stuck on ancient kernels or you're at the mercy of their BSP drops.

The Beagles at least have mainline kernel support, but things like pine64 and odroid still rely on a lot of patches or binary blobs.

Thanks for pointing out the X-15, though.. I've not looked at Beagles since the Beaglebone Black. It looks like an impressive board with mainline kernel support.
I'm sure a person who does this amount of work on the project did a 2 minute Google search for similar products even if they somehow weren't aware of other boards.

This is anecdotal, but I've never once out of hundreds of flights experienced what you're describing. Sure, replacement flights when things got cancelled may have been on a different aircraft, but then it's a different flight altogether so not particularly surprising. I'd be curious to know if under normal circumstances they ever fly a plane other than the one listed, I have no idea.

Edit: to clarify a bit, I know this because I'm a nerd and sometimes pick flights specifically because of the type of plane used. I quite enjoyed the A380. :o)
Okay, but how did games enter this global thread's discussion? That's definitely way off-topic.

My mom simply wanted instantly loading calendar and grocery list apps. I know that's achievable because I've done (parts of) such apps in the past and they were faster than others.

It's not such a stretch to imagine people being frustrated with lags everywhere (and those lags do objectively exist). And I've met a good amount of people frustrated with the current breed of software as well.

Modern apps don't bring almost anything new or improved to the table. They should be lightning fast but they are not.

Pretty much this. In an economic migrate face-off between HK and sub-Saharan Africans we only get one winner.
It's not obviously about replacing EU immigration. Hong Kong a higher GDP per capita than the UK - and about four times the GDP per capita of the eastern European countries that provide so many workers to British farms and warehouses.

Britain's motivation is they contend that this is a violation of the treaty between Britain and China from the handover of Hong Kong [1], and letting one other country violate your treaties with impunity makes other countries think they can get away with the same thing.

But at the same time there's also no appetite in Britain to go head-to-head with China - in fact, if the HK stuff wasn't going on they'd be looking for a trade deal right now.

So if you see something that's a response, but not a really tough muscular response, that's exactly what the UK government is aiming for.

There is no guarantee, in order to not fly on the max8 you’ll either need to use someone who flies airbus (not a bad idea based on my a320neo flight), or be willing to cancel your flight day of.
It's also interesting once you understand what Maxwell's equations mean to look at their geometric algebra formulation[1]. In particular it makes their use in special and general relativity somewhat more elegant, since the GA form explicitly includes a spacetime component. Of course that page isn't an elementary introduction, it assumes familiarity with GA and the divergence & curl operators, as well as some concepts of special & general relativity.

> Freedom of speech is specifically freedom from the government interfering with your speech

Yes, it is an important point but somewhat old. Nowadays it can be generalized: freedom of speech is a protection of the stage from monopolization by anyone (being it a government, company or private person). I would say, now it is more important and much more difficult to protect the communication channels from giant companies which are much stronger than most governments (and in many cases actually control the governments).
This is what happens when you let people explore something for cheap: they do all kinds of things you didn’t expect.

The lords system in England buys someone in your family a seat in the house of lords. It might mean you were born born with land that theoretically you have government rights over, but if you take that farther than changing competitive rents you will discover the powers haven't been removed only because it wasn't worth the bother since nobody used them.

That is my impression as an outsider anyway. I'm sure the details are different somehow.
Every time I see news like this I can't help but wonder what would happen if federated social media becomes mainstream. All these attempts to regulate social media generally revolve around there being a "platform", it being a company, it caring about profits, it having a legal department etc. It all falls apart spectacularly if you frame social media as something intertwined with the internet itself, with no central authority whatsoever.

Are we tracking the spectra of everything visible in the sky? How much data is that?
Yes I guess I was referring to more robust, standard chemistry for which we would expect the pricing to be a little more formulaic.

And you make a great point. We've been constantly reminded that virtual spaces created by CROs are not always executable. As such we can actually constrain our algorithms to require very high probability of reaction success to remove false positives. We then tell the CRO what building blocks they need and the route design. We're still figuring how much of the lifecycle of making molecules is worth going after or, if indeed as you say, the route itself is the key solution.
In modern relativisitic formulations using tensors they are one equation also, derivable from the action of the electromagnetic field tensor. This formulation also shows that electric and magnetic fields are the same, simply rotated under a relativisitic transform, which is the modern view.

The random numbers were just that, random numbers. Startup times are noticeably slower. Even with fast SSDs, many multi-GB apps that run in background can get swapped out, and that's still slower than RAM decades ago.

> Chrome spawns a million processes so if a tab crashes it doesn't end your browsing session

This one is funny, because

1) before Chrome pages didn't seem to crash (js could, but not the whole "page")

2) Chrome still crashes completely loads of times

(also it's not really related; Chrome is a fast application written relatively effectively)

But I get your point, and you are not wrong. I just wouldn't discount "cheap development" to be the primary reason.
A head-on collision with a black hole will likely produce a very noticeable explosion.

Black holes don't just vacuum up all the matter around them silently. Any matter falling into a black hole, not just the accretion disk, emits radiation. This radiation causes surrounding matter to expand outward, counteracting the gravity of the black hole. A black hole trying to eat an entire star at once will quickly exceed its Eddington limit [1] and most of the remaining matter will be blown away.

The UK didn't have much of choice. Their lease on the New Territories (basically all of HK except Kowloon and the Island) expired in 1997, so that was going back to China regardless, and they concluded that HK was not viable without it.

Of course, but is it as easy as two clicks in VSCode? There's so much setup to get it exactly the way you want in the terminal, where as it "just werkz" out of the box for VSCode. I'm a VIM user, but i use vim plugins inside of IDEs for this reason
Reconstructing pixelated white faces is a lame research goal. If they think it would work on all faces, make them show that: it's science and it's their job to demonstrate that their approach works. Why bring "larger problems" into this when the problem is a "small problem", they built a system and it doesn't quite work but they published it anyway.

By the way, ML is not nearly as new as you seem to think, and given the amount of resources poured into it by FAANG-type companies recently, even five years is a lot of time for ML nowadays.

> How do you think openness and democracy triumphing cause the rise of autocrats?

Sorry, I expressed myself badly. It doesn't "cause" it just provides a contrast that makes this look as different of what was there before.

If Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East and East Asia were still under the authoritarian rulers of the Cold War era, these new autocrats wouldn't be a novelty.

My point is that autocrats failed before and all those places tried democracy. It succeeded in most of them, but a few want to go back to something that is not viable anymore.
This has and will be debated forever. Given the choice though, I think its much clearer that letting in wealthy educated people is a net benefit.
No, the authoritarian right which includes US liberals. The left doesn't even exist worldwide except in extremely small insignificant numbers pumped up by media to create new red scare conditions among the population. The left has been crushed for the last 40+ years by the authoritarian right and has absolutely no backbone.

The authoritarian right runs the gig, the authoritarian right creates the violence.

That was probably Volen Siderov, the founder of the first nationalist political party after the fall of communism. His "Ataka" party gained some serious momentum during 2005-2009, but is now largely defunct, with very little support, partly thanks to his inconsistent and outrightly rude behaviour. They always held rallies on the Liberation Day during those years and many Bulgarians were seeing "Ataka" as the only authentic party among all other creations of political engineering under the guidance of former state security.

This is actually the problem. If they were willing to change the type certification, they would have been free to raise the airplane up and keep the engines in their proper position. The need to keep type certifications the same is the root cause of a whole series of bad decisions, including engine placement and the unwillingness to change pilot training & documentation.

> let's ask an Indian parent if they'd be comfortable having their child marry someone they think is of a "lower caste" than theirs. THIS is the best litmus test, quick, cheap and easy way to clear all doubts on the contemporary caste question.

This test will fail because it doesn't account for what truly is caste in people's minds. Even among those who do not want to discriminate, different castes represent different daily cultures, traditions and even languages. So the question becomes on if they are comfortable with someone from a different culture - and that answer is almost always no.

Yes LeCun is right to focus on his tasks as a researcher in research labs, papers, conferences. However, he is also a leader of the field when speaking to the outside world, which is what happens on Twitter in heated arguments.

I think he has some responsibility to at least acknowledge the complexity of this issue in such cases. Not speaking to the public is also a option if he doesn't like the leader role, so him deleting twitter is a completely ok thing in my eyes.
React is a particularly bad way to learn pragmatic Javascript because it's idioms are quite different from how people program in any other scenario but UI dev. It's a UI library and you won't learn much about Javascript programming from it. You will just know React.

You should absolutely learn React if you want to be employed writing with JS, but people should understand where React lies in the context of javascript. It isn't an abstraction of JS, it's a UI library written in JS.
