> The company also said the programme would allow staff to choose where they worked, whether that was from home, a major corporate hub or a satellite office.

Culture cannot change quickly. I expect only a few Fujitsu employees will work from home. Most will continue to waste countless hours sitting at a desk to "demonstrate commitment to the company." It won't matter that the desk is in a satellite office. Male managers will require their female subordinates to work from the same satellite office with them. Only determined top leadership can change a Japanese company's time-wasting sexist culture. I doubt Fujitsu will succeed before the pandemic ends.
This is sickening, the poor family who were out celebrating a birthday handled it really well. The racist and his company will face the backlash
North Korea has nuclear weapons and they seem to be the looniest state around (Russia, America, and China also have nuclear weapons); I think this horse has left the stable.

>In my view, those who work in AI need to elevate those who have been excluded from shaping it, and doing so will require them to restrict relationships with powerful institutions that benefit from monitoring people.

I am not going to choose who I work with based on their race/sexuality/gender.

>Researchers should listen to, amplify, cite and collaborate with communities that have borne the brunt of surveillance: often women, people who are Black, Indigenous, LGBT+, poor or disabled.

Right, we know, only privileged straight white men escape the clutches of surveillance.

All these ideologues are doing is setting the stage for the marginalization of whites, a global minority and soon to be minority majority in the US. I can't believe this kind of casual discrimination has not only been normalized, but is openly and explicitly encouraged.

This is not ok.

Edit: you know, the same way that it takes generations to build wealth, it takes generations to build knowledge, especially institutional knowledge. If we just hand over a chunk of our industries to people because of their identities, by definition we will be even less of a meritocracy - and that's bad for all of society.
I should have worded the sentence differently lol, it did not completely destroy my life. But I assume that if it kept undiagnosed it would at some point? I read some bad stories about it once I started researching the problem.

I had some really really really really bad mood problems, poor cognitive performance and extreme fatigue.
SK traced people in a bar by cellular location data and payment data without permit. I think it's not good for human rights.
One thing I've thought about is no site lists timelines. I understand there's a reason for that, but it can result in wasted applications. If a company is taking 8 weeks to decide, it's probably not a great fit if you already have another offer you're looking to move on in say the next 2 weeks. I don't know if there's a good way to fix this since I can't think of an incentive why companies would want to list a timeline.

It definitely wasn't clear that Apple was going to dominate the market for those 1.5 years. Most people expected that HTC, Palm, RIM, and Nokia were going to respond with better offerings for a better price. Most people in tech hated the early iPhones and thought it was going to be a failure. I wouldn't have sold my Nokia stock in the first 1.5 years.
There's a whole host of tasks given to the police that they're completely unsuitable for. People keep getting shot when armed police attend wellness checks. Same with traffic stops. A lot of police interactions are with homeless, mentally ill people and/or addicts in need of care, not a damned bullet. The rare cases of active shooters do justify an armed response, but let's be honest, cops rarely respond quickly enough to make a difference in many of those situations.
Valid points. My argument though is that focusing on these types of cases will result in preventing other, more deserving businesses from getting and using funds. When the SBA threatened criminal prosecution to stop companies that are public, highly profitable and well financed from using PPP the real effect was to scare EVERY business and loans stopped almost immediately. I know a few businesses that need funds that chose to go out of business because the owner “didn’t want to go to jail”.

The thing is, if we don’t want to help companies that conduct stock buy backs during times of plenty, then need help during times of famine, 1. The time of famine or pandemic is not the time to fight that battle. Let’s revise stock but back law later. 2. Honestly, no policy can be designed to handle a global pandemic. This is not a normal time. Let’s leave the blame and moralizing for a few years from now.

Stock buy backs used to be illegal. Maybe they should be again. Or maybe only after a company has passed a financial stress test.

The thing is, the more we design the system for these unexpected edge cases the more complicated it gets. Maybe it just be better to have something like FDIC insurance that all companies buy and kicks in automatically.
Of course people should be free to vehemently argue against Steven Pinker's ideas. The problem is that people are instead descending to personal attacks on him, including circulating a petition (with forged signatures, to boot) to get the Linguistic Society of America to strip him of his Fellow status.
I'm opposed to nuclear weapons, but: the principle of nuclear non-proliferation - or, in other words, the oligopolization of nuclear strike capability - is more of a subjective and self-serving value held by the US (and some other nuclear powers) than a universal objective truth. If, hypothetically, the US lacked nuclear weapons that other countries had, the acquisition of nuclear capability by a hitherto non-nuclear USA would suddenly be seen as very desirable, and there wouldn't be all this talk about the dangers of proliferation.

Don't know the details but consider even if it were 10% more of it, what if it currently (directly and indirectly) is 80% of nuclear energy's cost. You would be talking about an almost 50% hit to the profitability of such a proposal.
The core arguments, as far as I can tell, are:

>Researchers should listen to, amplify, cite and collaborate with communities that have borne the brunt of surveillance: often women, people who are Black, Indigenous, LGBT+, poor or disabled. Conferences and research institutions should cede prominent time slots, spaces, funding and leadership roles to members of these communities.

And:

>Remarkably little research focuses on serving data subjects. What’s needed are ways for these people to investigate AI, to contest it, to influence it or to even dismantle it. For example, the advocacy group Our Data Bodies is putting forward ways to protect personal data when interacting with US fair-housing and child-protection services.

I'm unable to find any other concrete suggestions or arguments. There are some things like "In addition, discussions of how research shifts power should be required and assessed in grant applications and publications.", but "how research/AI shifts power" seems to be a very fuzzy and ill-defined concept.

People aren't going to agree on what power is and who possesses it and who doesn't and what does or doesn't constitute shifting or non-shifting of power, and to who, and how, and why. Let alone exactly how their research's tiny piece of the puzzle fits into it all.

I think it'd be clearer if this contained specific claims or requested specific legal rights beyond broad terms like "shifting power": like anonymization of data, regulations on how companies and the government can collect and use people's data, how and when law enforcement can use automatic recognition systems, etc. Maybe an auditing organization for companies' and governments' heuristic systems (AI or otherwise), to look for type I errors (YouTube LGBT+ videos as not suitable for minors comes to mind). Maybe some way to determine what technologies could be ripe for abuse.

It's like making your motto "our organization is dedicated to ensuring AI benefits the people, not the elites". Okay... who are the elites, who are the people, how could the elites and people be benefitted or harmed, etc.

We still have the catalogs which you can aimlessly browse, but they are called differently: forums, reddit, HN

The solution is to fix your ad-blocker. Any good one will also block the consent management garbage from loading to begin with. uBlock Origin with all the "annoyances" lists enabled will block them all according to my experience.
two major reasons:

reach: get enough upvotes in Reddit and you can attract a lot of people including prominent figures in the space to look at your build

friction: people passing by might not want to create a profile just to comment on your build, but if they stumble on the build on a site where they already have registered it's so much more likely for them to speak their mind

a mass of users, even from unrelated topics, carry non linear value in social interaction based sites, and so it happens grouping topic together wins over fragmenting over multiple small sites
The "campfires" remind me of HN: more eddies than a stream, but still on the involuntarily short term side, like visiting a garden with a tour group.
The conspiracy theorist in me says it's a way of signaling via the (bunk) neurolinguistic programming philosophy, which suggests that emphasizing certain words will evoke a desirable response. (Personal words like "you" and "your", as well as positive words like "give".)

The theologian in me says this person writes about/to god frequently and thus treats words like "you" as a capitalized proper noun so frequently that it's autocorrected.

The rationalist in me says English is not their first language and spends most of their time writing in their native language which may include different noun forms and so is habitual. And given some spacing and punctuation oddities, possibly an older person.

My money is on the rational explanation.

It may be so. Those people are morally wrong however.

I'm willing to bet that you have taken many unnecessary car trips in your life. By doing so you have increased the risk to other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians of suffering a fatal accident. Sure, it's a very small increase, but surely that outweighs your selfish desire to visit your friends or go to a movie.

Casually weighing human life against economic cost is not acceptable in what we might call a civilized society.

How is significant whitespace a design flaw? Have you ever seen a professionally written program in any language where care in formatting did not extend to having whitespace under control?

The article is low on examples which doesn't lend it much credibility but I can sort of understand where she's coming from because Google's AI has had similar issues in the past. Namely YouTube classifies LGBTQ+ content as not advertiser friendly and therefore doesn't recommend it as much and often demonitizes it.
A somewhat fair point, but it was also mixed with poor choice of words and general inaccuracies at the time:

"Fair" and "good" are certainly tricky words to narrow down, granted. But to say they're not even worth discussing - that the only question to ask is whether AI shifts power to groups I like from groups I don't like - is to let politics swallow the entire field and make collaboration across ideological boundaries impossible. That's not going to lead to good outcomes for anyone.

the affirmation than a children take up all your time is exceedingly simple to be shown false:

it's clear that there's some psychological mechanism at play that transform single child parents into helicopter parents at a great conversation rate, to the point they have to oversee every minute of their children's lives without even realising that's happening

having multiple children quickly teaches you that yes, children can survive some time on their own, but multiple children is a rare sight these days

Was my meaning actually unclear to you? There have been plenty of times of censorship and social strife in history. Choosing one that involved the murder of tens of thousands of people makes for an especially poor analogy to what's happening today.

The Cultural Revolution is a poor analog in other ways as well (I mean, upon examination the comparison to our current moment doesn't hold up at all and it's boring to discuss) but the large number of dead people seems like an especially important indicator that perhaps what's happening today is not as serious as all that, and that the author is engaging in some pretty extreme hyperbole. (which is their right of course, blah blah)

Other countries have managed to get it under control by testing and contact tracing. If we could "get it down to a few cases", as you say, we could do the same thing. In the current environment in the US, that seems impossible.
Android phones that have LEDs should activate the LED whenever the camera is active so that people are aware it is on (especially the front-facing camera). Much like how MBPs do it.

I personally don't see the point. If you want a GUI for some commands, why not just get GUI apps which do those things? Why try to bolt a GUI onto a CLI, especially one that works by pasting commands back into a CLI? You're relying on fig to develop UIs for all of your frequently used commands, and if you don't like fig's UIs for certain commands, you're SOL until they let you make your own UIs, and at that point it's basically an OS with an App Store. If you want a productivity boost from eliminating repeated commands, you're better off writing aliases or bash scripts for your personal use, in my opinion.

Side note: I think the title should reflect the name of the service, Fig.

I think your argument is nonsense and pedantic to be completely honest.

For example, being against the treatment of the Uighurs in China would be an example of moralizing if we took your argument to the extreme. The government in China simply places lesser value on their lives and since we all attach different values to human lives it's hypocritical to criticize their treatment.

You're avoiding the actual argument at hand in favor of nitpicking the rhetoric. Basically, tone policing. And I don't think tone arguments solve anything over than diversion.
