Algorithmic biases and their application to human systems are a very interesting, and important topic. And yes, they can be unfair to already disadvantaged people

But I think the discussion too easily devolves into the craziest humanities self-pleasing circles. Then they are surprised they get push back? Of course Google also share their side of the blame when they think just creating an "ethics commission" with a rubber stamp solves their issue
Can you show me five philosophy graduate turned AI researcher who thinks if statements are racist? If AI research teams are "full of" them, as you say, it should be trivial to find such people.
Do you have an example of one of these ‘philosophy graduates’ you’re describing?

The only person I’m closely aware of here is Timnit Gebru. She has a bachelors and masters in Electrical Engineering as well as a PhD. If you’re describing her and her ilk as ‘philosophy graduates’ because they have PhDs, I think you’re vastly mischaracterizing their education.

My colossus wants to read books like the one you've published. The only thing is that he needs review essay on https://essay-reviews.com/essayservice-review for more consistency. Would you mind checking your college website?
The YouTube algorithm's incentives seem to be responsible for so many videos being excessively long. Everything wants to waste your time because YouTube and the creator make more money that way.
Anything recommendation driven seems suspect these days.

I find if you seed it carefully though it can be OK. e.g. Mine is mostly full of tech and trance videos. Hard for that to get toxic.

Politics, news, opinion pieces etc...and you quick get sucked into one of the echo chambers.

I suppose a case could be made that trance is my preferred echo chamber though...
This seems pointless. The fact that it's not primarily a chat app means nobody is going to use it for day-to-day messaging - you already have to have payments in mind before you start a conversation. So if you want to use it to request payments for an existing group chat, you've got to switch context and invite everyone into this separate chat app just to allow payments.

Or you can just drop a paypal.me link into the chat you're already having.
High-Performing Teams Need Psychological Safety. Here’s How to Create It
My first inclination was just to move on but you didn’t post on a throwaway so I will take the bait.

Why do you think the toilet issue you described is a problem that needs to be fixed? My experience in every corner of life in America to date has been separated bathrooms by sex and the men’s restroom containing far fewer sitting toilets. We all know this is because women sit for both natural duties and men, generally in the US at least, only sit for one. This is so basic I assume it’s not what you are talking about but please correct me if not so we can engage on that front.

What I assume you mean is Google is 90% male and 10% female (no idea what it really is) and yet the bathrooms are 50% male and 50% female. You specifically mention sitting toilets which is what I am having trouble understanding the relevance of.

Are men regularly forced to stand in line instead of being able to walk right in and go? If so that sounds like a facilities growth issue and not a sex imbalance issue. You could propose turning some female restrooms into male but generally restrooms are placed far enough apart from one another that there would have to be 0 females in the area serviced by those restrooms for that to work. The presence of even one would require facilities assigned to females or mixed gender restrooms (a different argument I fully support).

That leaves your only other option as I see it for the female restrooms to be smaller than the male restrooms which is just ridiculous. No one would build the building with that hopefully temporary imbalance in mind and you can’t just repurpose half a bathroom as long as the sexes are being separated.
That’s an equation with a bunch of factors. As soon as average land costs go over a certain threshold and apartment living is normalized, it becomes much more profitable to build up several units over the same plot of land.
Thanks for pointing out the historical background of the name.

Despite being the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century (through the disastrous Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward), Mao is still a revered figure in China and is considered the father of the nation.

His face is even on the currency like the Queen of England is in Commonwealth countries.

The government of China censors have re-invented his reputation over there. You'll see the propaganda line that "Mao was 70 percent right and 30 percent wrong" deeply embedded in the psyche of people.

Rewriting history is the power of China's censorship system and media control. It's a pretty scary thing actually.
Just remember that being an adult is just as much about not doing things that you could do. If you just do everything because you can and it provides gratification, then you are likely still an adolescent.

And this is for things that don't have negative externalities such as the environmental damage, animal cruelty and health downsides of eating steak every day.

People Card: How to create your own virtual Google Card
So... you just happened to hear about this new chat app and you just happened to post literally the longest sales pitch I ever read on Hacker News, and I mean longer by an order of magnitude? Mind disclosing your relationship with these folks on whom you are lavishing all your attention?
I'm not saying he wants kids to die young, please don't strawman me. I think Gates career as CEO points into direction he enjoys acquiring and wielding power. He stepped down from being CEO in 2008, this was long after Windows won. It's also possible that he enjoys both technical side of challenges and being powerful at the same time.
Their long term product vision is based on an incorrect core belief.
The latter. It does not infer graphs from unstructured data, it gives a set of backend agnostic APIs for constructing featurized graphs, message passing and pooling/aggregating (with gradients being handled by your framework of choice), and has some really nice helpers like performing softmax over certain node/edge types, while keeping everything performant.
Yeah. Like literally everything else it's a nice place as long as politics aren't shitting everything up.
The UK has similar laws, requiring people who find things defined under the Treasure Act 1996 (except in Scotland) as treasure to report their find to a coroner within 14 days. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Act_1996

Finders have to offer the treasure for sale to a museum/similar at a price determined by an independent panel.

The UK also has broader, older rules governing "treasure trove", with slight regional variations. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_trove

The bottom line isn't "finders keepers", but rewards are fair and often handsome. The rules try to strike a balance between public interest/education, common good, and providing an incentive against individual greed.
Yes, I'm claiming the restriction will be too much for many people, assuming we are trying to create a new language here. However, expressing a solution as a catamorphism is a good thing to do and helps reasoning. It's a form of structured programming (recursion is the "goto" of functional programming!).

When I was young and (more) idealistic, my department chair pulled me aside after I’d been dogmatic about something and said “everything is political... The sooner you realize that, the better off you’ll be.”

It took 10 years for that to really sink in, but I knew that every paper has an angle well before that. There’s a position of inevitability about AI around Google, and, to an extent, I agree. Unlike tobacco, alcohol, firearms, cars, fuel, AI is applied mathematics. It’s virtually impossible to restrict functionally, requiring macro behavioral constraints on businesses and governments that are very difficult to enforce if you want to regulate it. Furthermore, ceding the technological lead and removing the business incentive likely has defense (read: offense) implications on the global stage.

Some things are going to be hard to explain. Some skin tones, hair styles, accents, pitches, timbres, writing styles, etc. may have more/less separable entropy, and that’s going to inevitably make models seem racist/sexist for some applications. However, we’re pretty far from those edges. Instead, our model biases have likely been driven by our datasets, drawn from our coworkers, family, and friends. In this industry, that’s currently a recipe for over sampling in some demographics and under sampling in others.

Yes; in particular it would be nice if the algorithm mixed in "here's some videos on a topic you watched a bunch of six months or a year ago" sometimes. But it's so fixated on the very short term of your history that if a topic ever ages out of that it's gone forever, unless you personally remember it and go searching for it...
One thing I gathered from my small-time trading hobby is that if a broker's « goodness » is inversely proportional to the smile on their face.

Thanks for the tip -- I didn't realize this affected Youtube. Curious to see how it improves my experience.
I know I'm old but dang for some reason I really dislike recommendations from almost any company.

For media I grew up in the 70s and had the TV Guide. I'd look through to see what I wanted to watch, circle some things and then watch. No spying what-so-ever.

So, I like for example HN where AFAIK I'm not tracked so much and I choose what I want from the top of the list.

Conversely I mostly hate Amazon, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, and all the ad services and any other service that uses some algorithm to decide what to put in my face.

It's to the point that 3 out 4 time I'll open videos in private windows so they don't get added to my profile and used for recommendations.

I don't mind going to a tech sight and seeing ads for tech or a car site and seeing ads for cars. Do mind visiting an apartment listing site and then going around the net and having every other sight shove ads for apartments in my face.

I don't have much simpathy for MapsWithMe: they were illegally using OpenStreetMap data by not providing attribution[2] to the project and never complied. I don't know if intentionally or not, but they didn't make life easy for the maintainer of the libre fork, which looks dead too.

The “sensitive topics” extra review seems completely fair and obviously necessary. Anyone acting like that amounts to censorship in a private company is totally off their rocker.

This article seems really weak, and of course there’s the obligatory attempt to tie it in with Timnit Gebru’s resignation and her very inappropriate behavior, even though for all of Google’s flaws, Google clearly and obviously did the right thing both to disapprove Gebru’s weak paper and accept her resignation based on her ultimatum.
I would add that their competitive advantage now is not the cars, but the extensive and convenient charging network.
I guess you’re a subscriber to the famous quote (from Orson Welles, I believe) that goes something like “Italians saw centuries of wars and pestilence, and produced the Renaissance. The Swiss lived peacefully all that time, and only produced the cuckoo clock.”
I think you are severely underestimating the local effect an individual can have by influencing life, albeit on a smaller scale. Not everything has to be on a world-scale. In my case, I love watching movies and discussing them, but never applied that in any way to my environment – until I started a small, local film club, which has given me a real sense of having a bit of influence.
Current valuation prices in future potential. And it's logical for it to do so. It's irrational to look at P/E and determine a company's value based on that.

Here's a thought experiment. It's not a realistic one and is not supposed to prove that Tesla is not overvalued, but just out of interest, I'd like to see some responses.

How would you value a company that has $10,000 profit this year and is expected to grow in profit 50% each following year and this growth would last infinitely?

What about a company that is expected to grow 50% each year until $1T profit?
Amazon did not fork mongodb, they won’t touch AGPL code, they reimplemented the server side protocol and a backend implementation on top of postgresql afaics.
This headline is nonsense. The article basically comes down to: Robinhood users may get slightly worse prices on trades.

If your trades comes down to a cent or two, you shouldn't be using Robinhood. If you're actually investing, and not a high frequency trader, Robinhood is great.

From the article: "The SEC identified $34 million that Robinhood customers lost by not receiving best execution, which is much less than the money they saved by forgoing trading commissions." The article literally confirms that the saved money on trading commissions is far more than the money lost on slightly worse executions.

Oh the ads. I cannot underestimate the annoyance it has caused to viewers. Seeing the numerous memes making fun of those asset flip adware turned "games" makes me die a little inside.

As far as I know, you actually need a Mac or other Apple computer to push something to the Appstore and even then it's not a fun process.

This knowledge is second hand from a friend of mine, whom I had the pleasure of listening to when he was ranting about the process a few years ago.

Maybe things have changed since then..?
A friend of mine has the same problem, but I don't. I almost think YouTube has him and you in some weird long-term A/B test. I sent him some French rapper as a joke one day and YouTube proceeded to send him crappy French rap for the next several weeks.
This isn't my experience at all. On certain subjects, YouTube will start relentlessly pushing an agenda. If I watch some videos where people talk about sci-fi movies or TV, my recommendations become flooded with videos about how SJWs are ruining Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who, etc. It's gotten to the point that I now only watch such videos in Incognito Mode.
Why not NaN for floating point division and INT_MAX for integer division?

When you write code that may divide by zero you need to check the result afterwards (and in truly defensive programming that is every time you divide numbers). 0 is not a great choice because it doesn't necessarily mean you divided by zero - in floating point, dividing by a sufficiently large number or when working with the status register set to flush denormals to zero then normal division can result in 0. For integer division, any fraction will result in 0.

No valid division can result in NaN or INT_MAX.
The reason is assholes like the guy in this article. Metal detectors are banned in Sweden too and I am all in favor of that law.
Tail call doesn’t have to be recursive.
You may well be right that this is Google’s current thinking, but it doesn’t look like a winning strategy to me. Once more, they are on the defensive trying to offer flailing justifications for an opportunistic initial move. Even if you don’t care about the ethics, or are on their side, I think you’d have to question their execution.
What was your process to find such an opportunity? I actually am 33 and I'm pretty much in the same situation actually.

DFS is usually disabled and you have options to enable it via "I am outdoors" flag.

You can, but it's slow and computationally intensive - you still need to be fairly sure that the sampler has converged on the true posterior (I might be a bit off with the terminology there but you know what I mean) before that can become your new prior.
Here's a thought experiment. I'm not talking about Tesla and this situation is completely hypothetical.

What would you pay for a company that currently has profits of $10,000, but is guaranteed to grow each year 50% until they have $1T in profits.

If possible give a numerical value please, what you think
a) The company is worth currently
b) How much would you pay for 1% of this company's stock?
That's funny, I never thought it was snarky, but now that you mention it I can see how it might be interpreted as such. Passive aggressive in a way, but I never thought of it like that. Thanks for the alternate interpretation!

But also in all fairness I'm paraphrasing, I can't recall the exact wording so it may well have been formulated much better than I make it seem.

astrea said "Because the fine is punitive, not cost-based.", and I said it is not clear that the fine is not cost based due to lack of context. I don't think any reasonable reading of my comments would lead anyone to believe that I ever thought fines were not punitive, and I feel like you're arguing in bad faith, so cheers.

From experience with iOS, this probably won't happen. Apple continues to sign the last ever released firmware version even for long obsolete devices like the iPhone 3GS.

But if they did decide to stop signing all versions for some reason, you'd be probably right. T2 is vulnerable to checkm8 so there may be a chance to get around it there, but M1 is not vulnerable.
It's like the media company is taking the driver seat of your mind and decides you need to watch these videos over and over. Where have individualism and creativity gone?.
Nope. Most alternatives like services miss on a very important point. Alternatives do not have the same features and there should be a thorough comparison for end users not to waste their time.
Maybe your parent commenter confuses PhD ("Doctor of Philosophy") with a graduation in philosophy?
Thats fine so long as we're happy to relegate all end user software to be run inside the web browser. But I can't help but mourn what we're losing in the process.

I've spent most of my career on the web. But web apps are always (and will probably always be) second class citizens to desktop apps because they're slower, can't integrate as well into the desktop environment, have a one-size-fits-all user interface, they can't really save and load local files and so on.

And sure - web software has been strengthening linux because most native software never targets linux anyway. But surely there are other answers?
No, if you do it for personal profit.

Its not unreasonable for the rules to be something more than the playground "Finders, Keepers". Grow up.

Further, Poland has one of the highest rates of metal detector usage.
Seems like we are having the same discussion we had in previous bubbles. Robinhood, to put it simply, represents the retail investor market.

What’s the first rule of fight club? The stock market is not for retail investors. When the retail investor shows up (represented via the prominence of a Robinhood or a Etrade once upon a time), you’ve entered ‘time to get real’ territory.

Their entire customer base will be gone once things get ugly, so don’t even worry about how they make money since they are going to have bigger problems inevitably.

What happened the last time everyone’s mom became a real estate agent pre-2008? These things are symptom of a fantasy playing out.

Yet Redditor's and HN'ers treat Scientists as centuries ago people treated men of the cloth. Their word is not to be scrutinized. You wouldn't want to be outed as being critical of the Scientific Method would you? (the irony between those two sentences have been lost in the last 5 years)
