> The Guardian labels it sexist. I assumed that it was because the majority of young attractive women on the internet are posting bikini pictures.

They're both true at the same time, which is exactly the point. The people in the article in the paper weren't trying to teach their neural net that men usually wear suits and women usually wear bikinis, but they did. They only noticed because the failure mode was really obvious. In some other situation, the exact same kind of sexist bias might exist in the data -- and important decisions, affecting people's lives, may be made -- without anybody noticing first.
Well, most US schools did go with Zoom!
It's similarly shocking to encounter entire companies where nobody uses a debugger. Millions in revenue, dozens of programmers, and the level of debugging is still sprinkling printf-statements and desperately perusing source code

My hot take: Schools don't touch the practicalities of professional programming enough. Homework is mostly small-time enough that you can keep the entire codebase in your head, and solve issues with printing variables. At least my CS master's degree was very much limited to 1950s level tool use.
We're separated from animals by tools and culture and language. Our basal emotions and desires are shared heavily with other primates, many humans would cheat on their spouse in your scenario. But dogs can't use JavaScript or go to school to learn to use JS either.
I'm not sure exactly where the line between "news" and "editorial" is being drawn. If you have journalists from WaPo in DC writing articles on something happening in Israel, what is the difference between them and a respected journalist writing on Substack? If it's someone with a good reputation, I'd probably attribute a bit more weight to the Substack author's analysis on the situation.

Obviously there's space for investigative journalism like what, e.g. ProPublica is doing, but if it's just "news", I'd rather get it from an individual backed by a strong reputation than an institution backed by a strong reputation, unless the journalist has a useful on-the-ground insight.

There are plenty palm trees near the Alps, so I wouldn't be angry if I were you.

I imagine it’s a mix of

1. They can’t manoeuvre tugs into the right location due to the aforementioned silt and dirt the Ever Given is stuck on/dug up.

2. Tug bow trusters are difficult to aim. Plus how do you hold them steady? They can only fire in one direction at a time, so you have no ability to create a reaction thrust to prevent the tug from moving.

3. Tug thrusters don’t enjoy ingesting huge amounts silt and earth when they’re operating. Which invariably will happen if they’re close enough to banks to have a useful erosive effect.
One of my Latin teachers (the one who was under 60) did try to teach us a proper pronuncation once, but quickly gave up.

But i wonder, what is the point? I think the use cases for Latin are, from most to least important:

1. reading Latin texts

2. casually dropping Latin phrases to impress your friends and intimidate your enemies

3. writing Latin mottoes, naming species, etc

4. listening to that Finnish radio station that is in Latin

5. work conversations at the Vatican

I think that none of these require historically correct Latin pronunciation. I assume that at the Vatican they speak some derivative of mediaeval Latin, and the signalling function of using Latin tags actually requires that you use the incorrect "classically educated Englishman" pronunciation.
A confrontation with "martial arts training" is being mindful and resting in yourself. You try to make it sound like it is behaving aggressively and ready for violence. That's the opposite of what you learn and the risk of someone behaving like this is way higher in those without martial arts training.

Besides, I bet you are fully aware that the point GP was making was that his training made him dare say something where he before wouldn't.
Right, but we live in a society.
Then what the point of government, economist, philosophers and entrepreneurs if everyone can do that?

I don't think everyone is qualified to come up with a vision, the world is complex and you need certain background to do it.
Personally, I don't think the leader of any organisation is really free to make public comments about controversial issues and expect them not to reflect on the organisation they lead. I don't want to know what the leader of the FSF thinks about rape, the age of consent of the pros and cons of aborting foetuses. Which leaves two options: Either RMS stops publicly talking about those issues, or RMS stop being the leader of the FSF.

When you want to lead a public organisation you give up certain freedoms in order to serve the interests of the organisation you lead.

I also think it's quite funny seeing the letter from the people who are being accused of being a mob. It's a relatively unemotional statement of their case with citations pointing to the underlying issues they're referring to. Where the reponse, which is meant to be the balanced rational people supporting an unfairly attacked man is highly emotive, poorly argued and doesn't actually address half the issues RMS is being criticised for. Some of the most obvious arguments against RMS leader the FSF actually come from the letter defending him.

>His words need to be interpreted in this context and taking into account that more often than not, he is not looking to put things diplomatically.

Well maybe that's not a good trait for the leader of the FSF.

> Interpreting this footnote [...]

No, the footnote itself is very clear that it's OK to call a trans man "they" and never "he", if you reject his identity and would prefer to call him "she".

We cannot excuse the footnote just because the main text is better.

> Especially since it seems to be pro trans and pro inclusivity.

Moreover, the context is this document used to reject calling non-binary they people "they".

So the context is this document used to be outright transphobic. Thus skepticism is warranted. Has the document improved? Substantially. Is it still problematic? Very much so.

> Same as with pandemic, in 10 years, if the new virus strikes, governments around the world we clueless.

SARS in 2004 primed Hong Kong for a robust virus response in 2020. As much as the HK government gets wrong, they've done a really good job so far with SARS-CoV2. We have 7.5 million people, and about 120 deaths so far from SARS-CoV2.

Though, a lot of this boils down to the fatality rate of the original SARS being something like 10%, so it was more terrifying but ultimately less dangerous on a population level due to lower transmissibility.

They have apples and pears in every month in Poland :) I mean sure - you can keep apples and pears through the winter but they aren't fresh so does it count? Or maybe they mean greenhouses but then you might as well add oranges and lemons.

But for other fruits it was pretty accurate in Poland.

More importantly I don't see how it helps with "more sustainable diet"? Just go to a local grocery market and buy whatever they have there.

And you are correct I am not promoting bullying, that would be insane. But total non-violence has its negative consequences too.

> The footnote of that policy allows you to persistently call a trans man "they", even if his preferred pronoun is he. That is, the policy endorses you misgendering.

This one of example here is why I think RMS debacle is a bit overblown. This really just stretching it to make his statement seems offensive. It even put him in a stance in which he never had.

I cannot in my best intention to read "Honoring people's preferences about gender identity includes not referring to them in ways that conflict with that identity." as endorsing misgendering.
Jon Ronson is particularly good on this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07hj3ky
This is so stupid that it hurts. I can't fathom how someone's language preference can be equated to actual transphobia.

> Bitcoin is a way for regular citizens to (mostly) keep the government’s hands off their wealth.

What is the evidence for the "regular citizens" claim? Is there data on which social groups are over-/underrepresented in Bitcoin holding compared to non-Bitcoin wealth holding? My guess is that groups low in regular wealth/income are disproportionally low in Bitcoin wealth.

Government activities such as defense, education and infrastructure will still need funding. If some resource A shifts to Bitcoin and, assuming for argument, thereby becomes non-taxable won't some other non-Bitcoin resource B be taxed instead, with no net "hands off" effect?

>Passing plain text between programs in 2020 goes against everything we've learned in the last 50 years.

I would have to say the opposite is true.

It's text based interfaces that have stood the test of time, and now even flourish in HTTP. We have more widely used text based interfaces than ever before where REST,HTML, XML and JSON seem to rule most machine-machine communication.

Strongly typed binary RPC such as DCOM and CORBA however are now nearly gone.
FWIW, I tried to get in the habit of using singular-“they” for everyone, even where I know their gender and they are cis, to reduce any subconscious gender bias. This has had two effects: learning that some trans people really don’t like that, and everyone assuming my partner is a dude. (He is, but I’m bi and therefore this is mere coincidence).

The whole point of science is that you continually revise and update your theory based on new facts you acquire.

I barely skimmed this so criticism is unfair, but... it could be a criticism of many "working papers."

There's a type of euphemization that's been irking me in recent years: The vague everyone. No one ever talks about X.

"Data largely determines performance, fairness, robustness, safety, and scalability of AI systems [44, 81]. Paradoxically, for AI researchers and developers, data is often the least incentivized aspect, viewed as ‘operational’ relative to the lionized work of building novel models and algorithms"

Do they mean that projects (at google? in society?) under resource "data work?" Do people get paid less. Do they mean incentives in academia? Do they mean that companies specialising in these areas are less successful? That universities have priorities wrong?

Just for the meander... at the top level, the economy does seem to be valuing data work highly. Adwords & Amazon marketplace antitrust cases suggest that "data work" is at the core of these mega businesses. TSLA's current valuation is partially based on tesla's exclusive dataset. In at least some very substantial examples, data work is very highly valued while models are seen as a temporary advantage... IE it looks like the market (some industrie) expects models/algorithms to be commoditized while the datasets are expected to be valuable intellectual property.

The authors do really have some insights here. A lot of "AI project" post mortems do find "data work" was underestimated. I guess that means it's underappreciated by definition. But... I think it would have gone someplace more concrete if they had started someplace more concrete.
Author here, happy to answer any questions about the implementation. I'd also love to see any interesting patterns you find :)

Before hashes existed, it wasn't unusual for scientists in the 17th and 18th century to drop an anagram instead, to establish priority on a discovery before one was ready to fully explain it. For example, in 1676 Hooke published an article containing the string of letters "ceiiinosssttuv", which two years later he revealed to stand for "ut tension, sic vis", meaning "as the extension, so the force".

Your reference to Linus is a great example that completely undermines the entire fundamental argument of "cancel culture". If people complain about your bad behaviour, you apoligize and we all move on that's not cancel culture is it. That's just people making mistakes, being picked up on them and apoligizing. People aren't setting out to cancel anyone, they've highlighted something they don't like, explained why it's unacceptable, the person at fault has listened and apologized. It's the perfect example of why it's not cancel culture, they entire point of cancel culture is you're not meant to be able to just make amends - you've been "cancelled"
