> The environment someone is raised in is far more important than skin color. African Americans for example makes much more sense to me as a classification than blacks.

So you want to essentially just exclude from blacks, like what, Sub-Saharan Africans? I don't know American demographics in detail, but I imagine that African Americans have to make up an overwhelming majority of the black population, so would that really make any difference? Or is it just another rebranding? Breaking things down to specific ethnic groups is surely useful in some cases, but is it really for everything? And I'm not sure what the point of that even is or what problem is it supposed to fix. It's still skin color, just a little bit more specific. I mean, you can be a white kid raised in the exact same environment as African Americans and that doesn't make you an African American in any stretch of imagination.

I wouldn't mind being more specific about it, but I just don't get why replacing race with ethnic groups would change anything. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but my impression is that you want to reject race just for historical reasons, but at the same time you want to keep ethnicities around, because you're still not crazy enough to take it to its full logical conclusion, go full Lysenkoism and deny genetics all together. Probably going to change in near future and this seemingly progressive idea will be considered as a serious thought crime, but hey, what do I know.
So what happened is that you had one bad experience and decided that it was representative of all people in that group? And you're saying that it wasn't made a big deal, that it was just pointed out to you?
Real story. I worked on nudity detection for mobile realtime video chat app with on-device deep learning model. (It was successful.) Should be easy: label some data, start from a good network pretrained on ImageNet (we used SqueezeNet), fine tune. The problem was that ImageNet is photos, not video frames, and distribution of video frames from mobile video is somewhat different. Incredibly large proportion of frames are either blank (camera is blocked) or ceiling (camera is misdirected). We ended up adding lots of data for blank and ceiling explicitly labeled as blank and ceiling. It became an excellent ceiling detector, detecting ceilings it never have seen before.

Is there a mobile video frames dataset for labeling ceilings? Why not? I can't believe I am the only one who experienced this. Why is not a ceiling dataset worthy of, say, CVPR? It will improve mobile video on-device deep learning more than most of CVPR papers. This is a serious problem.

Edit: I understand why niche datasets remain in industry and not academia. Public datasets are better if they are of general interest. But ceiling dataset is of general interest to anyone who wants to process video frames originating from blocked or misdirected camera aka smartphones, and it's hard to imagine topics of more general interest once you have obvious things like face.
There are often stabilities in dualities, and specifically in having two strategies. "Segment" themselves was perhaps a better term, but two segments is often what I'm personally interested in

Feel free to investigate stability theory and specifically duality in dynamical systems (living cells themselves are dynamical systems, and I would venture human society could also be described as one)

I mean... I've been getting this news. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
well, let's see what it once said at that URL... oh dear.

"A 21-year-old woman said Tarik Sansal raped her in the apartment's bathroom before 2 A.M. yesterday, the police said. Mr. Sansal was charged with first-degree forcible rape. The incident occurred in the apartment of Englebert Theuermann, a first secretary of the Austrian Mission to the United Nations..."

"Addendum: March 18, 2008, Tuesday. The Times did not report on subsequent developments. Tarik Sansal has a certificate of disposition by the Criminal Court of the City of New York, saying that the case against him was dismissed and sealed on June 5, 1997."
It was about a rape case. The Internet Archive shows the article was updated in 2008 to say the case was dismissed and sealed in 1997.

That figures like Rush Limbaugh and their level of influence exist, as well as on the opposite of the media political spectrum, as self-fulfilling visions of the world, is one of the tragedies referenced in the article as revealed in Sowell's extensive research and (>50 books) publication.

Number of books and number of readers are not well correlated, news at 11.
Here's the first "incident" referred to in the above link:

> O'Keefe and colleagues were arrested in the Hale Boggs Federal Complex in New Orleans in January 2010 and charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony, at the office of United States Senator Mary Landrieu, a Democrat. His three fellow activists, who were dressed as telephone repairmen when apprehended, included Robert Flanagan, the son of William Flanagan, acting U.S. Attorney of the Eastern District of Louisiana.[195][196] The four men were charged with malicious intent to damage the phone system.[197] O'Keefe stated that he had entered Landrieu's office to investigate complaints that she was ignoring phone calls from constituents during the debate over President Barack Obama's health care bill.[198]

Which of these sentences, specifically, are false, biased, or misleading?

Did O'Keefe not actually break into a federal building?

Did he not state that he entered her office?

Was he not actually arrested and charged with a felony?

"VS code is nowhere near a proper IDE like VS or IDEA"

This statement kind of misses the point: it's not that 'VS Code is an IDE', rather it's that the value of an IDE may not be as much as what some think it is.

I would have made the same conclusion a decade ago, but with sufficient plugin/ability ... I have come to prefer VS Code along with many others and have little reason to go back to using an IDE.

That's not to deny the IDE uses case - for specific kinds of projects it's fine, but there's no doubt VS Code - a non-IDE - is picking up in an a ton of areas wherein traditionally and IDE would have been a first choice.

I've spent many, many hundreds of dollars for development software out of my own pocket, because, just like with high-quality hand tools, good software tools pay for themselves over time. Even given what I make in the manufacturing world, these expenses don't account for a lot of my take-home pay, and I make half (or less!) of what hot-shots in tech make. I'm not worried about being reviewed on my productivity, I just want to get the work done faster and better for myself.

I did something similar with the new york times home page .pdf they provide:

https://static01.nyt.com/images/<year>/<month>/<day>/nytfrontpage/scan.pdf

(I just emailed it to myself each morning)

It got old pretty quickly.

What I found was that the New York Times has great articles that get posted here on HN.

However with the front page with subjects I didn't really care about, I noticed a definite bias. I don't really care about subjects related to trump or biden, but their stories were pretty overtly subjective. I learned a bit about media bias that I wouldn't have picked up reading just tech articles (being so close to the subject).

now I email myself wikipedia current events:

I am not an expert in this, but from the source you provided the NYT did publish a retraction of the advertisement.

Your post makes it seem like the NYT knowingly published false information about someone and refused to retract it, as if the NYT believed that they had the right to publish lies about someone.

Your source, however, paints a very different and much more nuanced picture. The NYT published an advertisement paid for by an independent organization, the ad contained false information, the NYT did retract the ad, the police commissioner, Sullivan, who is unnamed in the ad but potentially implicated by it sued the NYT for defamation, a court case was fought over whether the ad actually implicated him or not, the Alabama courts decided that the ad did implicate Sullivan and awarded Sullivan damages, the NYT appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court and they overturned the Alabama's Supreme Court decision on the basis that Sullivan being implicated by the ad is not sufficient to award damages for defamation.

At no point did the NYT try to justify lying or claim that they have a license to lie. What the NYT's argued was that Sullivan had no grounds to sue because he was not implicated by the ad.

Why are these threads on HN always full of alt-right people crawling over themselves to spread cynicism and discord? Yes everything is opinion now... within the opinion shows or opinion articles... Yes Murdoch spent a lot of time sowing this antagonism while using it to justify their claim to be above it somehow... Yes the US media fell in lock-step to justify the Iraq War.

But what no one is talking about on this thread is how this headline is the message. The message that trust is gone. How can we get it back? You can't... or so they want you to believe. In reality there are many forces trying hard to keep you confused because your attention is the commodity that they trade in.

The truth is out there, and it isn't hard to find. People who had RSS readers through the 2000s already went through a kind of grieving process for the flow of information and learned how to cultivate their network. They made a lot of mistakes too, and found themselves in conspiratorial suspicion networks that spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt, and that's where the majority of people engaging with the news currently are, and the former majority, from the 2000s have moved on from this game.

The eternal September will continue, and all of the current people bewildered by crank memes and "I'm just saying" types will be the ones in the future trying to talk about how all of this has been going on forever when in 5 years the amount of news consumers online makes another broad leap in size and complexity.

We need a resurgence in the study of how we all come to know things, and we need to invest in why we decide to trust sources. This needs to be a public conversation and not just yet another kind of behavior where people can just argue and be like "well, if you believe the Associated Press" seriously screw that kind of thinking. Tell me why you don't believe that specific source and give me something more than just cynicism and doubt, show me something that has the same rigor from whatever you're trying to justify.
Strangely, the seminal 1988 work "Manufacturing Consent" by Herman and Chomsky is not mentioned.

It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion", by means of the propaganda model of communication. The title refers to consent of the governed. . . .

#1 is not the issue, or rather, it's the same for any tool or software you buy it has nothing to do with tooling.

#2 is a separate issue entirely.

#3 If your boss has difficulty wondering why it's good to spend $100/year on something that saves you a lot of time, find a new job. I suggest that's not the case, and that there is a disconnect. Business managers generally are not dumb, just do the math: 'This tool gets X% more done or saves Y% time, which gets us $Z in value' - it's very good return for our investors.

I'll push back a little, but it seems we're pretty much at consensus. We have to recognize that people use words in vastly different ways, especially as we're enabling more cultures to communicate. Around me "sexism" has this broader meaning and subsequently doesn't necessarily hold as much weight as the binary usage holds (though it can, but again, continuum). Unfortunately language is extremely imprecise and the dictionary not only lags societal definitions, but only reflects certain usages. Because of this it is important to recognize that language has multiple parts. There's: What someone says, what they mean to say (the information they are trying to convey through a function with limited expressiveness, i.e. language), and what is heard. If we don't recognize that these three things can result in three different interpretations then we're going to continue to have many of these problems. Rather if we look at language as the imprecise means of transporting information from one person to another it means we should rely less on the actual words said and more the intended meaning. This is more difficult to do, but it is something we commonly do with friends and people we know well. We need to apply this same restraint to others we don't know as well.

So if we're communicating with words meaning different things (which is extremely common but unnoticed) then we have to be careful that we don't lose meaning on the assumption that someone's message can only have one interpretation. We have to recognize the embedding problems and limitations of language to effectively communicate.

John Sullivan to step down as Exec Dir of the FSF
Okay. Let me draw an analogy. Say you're in occupied Hungary circa 1956. Whenever you hear anybody walk by speaking Russian, you clam up for fear that they might be Soviet secret police.

Would you describe this person as "racist" against Russians? I don't think a reasonable person would apply that label. I think they'd say they're responding rationally to the specific circumstances of their immediate situation. That sort of behavior shows no inherent animosity to Russian people in general.

(And before anyone cries foul, I'm not in anyway saying sexism accusations in 2021 corporate America is anywhere near the same as the KGB. I think that should be patently obvious. The reason I picked this specific example was to stretch the underlying logic to a situation that's clear enough to be cut and dry situation.)

> to over-simplify severely, instead of taking criticism as a way to improve, she took it as an attack, which I think was part of what made Theranos insular, overprotective

So, one important criticism of Theranos, which was made at various points starting very early on, was this:

"If a substance is present in the patient's bloodstream, you still won't be able to detect it unless it is also present in the blood sample."

Theranos was always offering a product that was not even theoretically possible. Blood samples must be large enough to contain at least one molecule of whatever you're trying to test for, if it's present. When that's what you start out with, how are you supposed to "take criticism as a way to improve"?

Stallman's arguments don't make the new words less strange and alienating in practice.

His claim about our ancestors is wrong. They made up new words all the time. Including alternatives to singular they.

Stallman uses the new pronouns for any subject not known to be male or female. Singular they was used the same way historically.
