CRT dates back to the 1970s. I assure you that the liberal NYU and Northwestern professors quoted in the article didn’t just wake up in 2022 and decide to complain about people saying that “mass incarceration is bad social policy.”

These trends are hitting academia and the non-profit sector first. At my law school, one of the top ones in the country, the Dean got up and declared himself a “white supremacist” at a town hall meeting: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/northwestern-univers...

My friend who works at a public interest organization—herself very liberal—has been surprised by attorneys refusing to work in cases because of the political beliefs of clients and donors (which have nothing to do with the organization’s purpose).

The changes at the ACLU are well documented: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/aclu-free-speech.html

Solid admits one interesting variation: crane at ground level, a single extremely weight suspended in an existing, deep mine shaft.

Leaving aside the well-known dumpster fire of the healthcare system's operational incompetence, none of these are particularly novel, most of them are the author discovering basic best practices in statistics, and they don't come close to implying "DL for EMR is doomed".

A health outcome is correlated with age? Ya don't say.... This is only a problem that literally every single economist and sociologist checks for _first_. Agents in causal graphs respond to their inputs? Shocker, that's only.... The definition of an agent.

There are a ton of applications out there where a fairly naive model built by someone who took a Pytorch Coursera course can provide decent improvements. Healthcare is not one of them, and nobody serious ever thought it was. Bringing modern learning tools into healthcare is going to require a lot of smart people who know what they're doing, working cautiously to introduce these improvements into an operational quagmire with high stakes.

But this article reads like: "I tried making healthcare 'smart' in a Jupyter notebook over a weekend and it didn't work: the effort is doomed".
Does KeePassXC has triggers like KeePass? I use triggers to auto-mount TrueCrypt drives after opened the password database, does KeepPassCX allow me to do the same thing? Thanks.
Looks like they're switching Firefox to a similar solution, just a wrapper around Snap. Makes me glad that I've played around with Manjaro enough now to switch over.
I’m privy to the mailing list threads another T14. The article is spot on.
I supposed it depends on how you define a 'programming language'.

I'm not angered, I'm more wondering about the usefulness of the arbitrary line you've drawn in the sand, and even the shape of the line.

RShiney lets you build interactive webpages with advanced GUIs; if <webdev stack> counts as a programming language, why not R?

Many people like python because it lets you script things, and you can even make your script executable with a shebang at the start (!# /bin/python) -- and while true, that isn't built into R, you can run R scripts programatically (> Rscript myfile.R), or make this executable by putting it in a standard shell script.
No, but it does need to be tested and reliable.
I'm a former attorney. I left the profession after 13 years of practice and became a software developer.

I spent most of my career doing things like criminal defense and representing people with disabilities. In those areas of practice, things like CRT are badly needed. There can be no realistic dispute that the heavy hand of the law comes down more heavily on criminal defendants of color than it does those who are white - examination of the roots and causes of institutional racism are the best ways to combat this issue, and perhaps some discussion of these topics even in law school is warranted.

That said, I agree that most legal education is more practical and traditional than what is depicted in this article.
Hi. Please educate me. What technical details do I have wrong?
I'm amazed to see such an honest answer; I wonder how many are thinking this but are too afraid to say it.
It strikes me that the decades of academic literature that establish "in order to get a result correlating X and Y, we needed to control for A, B, C, ..." would be a critical input into any system attempting to work with medical data. In a way, the plaintext of historical medical journals has encoded much of this expert knowledge, albeit with retractions and errors the further back you go. But that might change the conclusion of the OP into more of an "incredibly hard problem" rather than "doomed to fail."
Tesla gets flak because they have repeatedly implied (or flat out said) that their level 2 system drives itself. This is a level 3 system, so it actually does drive itself.

Level 3 is the lowest level where “the car drives itself”

Precisely how effective do you think that'll be when your core packages are fine grid BGA?

This is the only long-term and standard solution I see, including package reballing. However, the fundamental problem with this approach is that the underlying PCB substrate is consumer grade that isn't designed for rework.

and some cars are fairly old too (pick any long-running somewhat-consistent model for a fair analogy), but they've changed since inception to be safer, more efficient, more reliable, etc. (minus the max, that's shoehorning something new to an old family)

Simply saying the family is old does not do it justice. It's possible for some "old" setup to continue to be effective even if other things change.
Yes drunk driver is not the right bar, but I think he still has a point. If the accident rate is less than overall human accident rate we should want to use the self driving cars, but the accident rate might still be high enough that a car company wouldn't want to claim 100% liability for every single accident.

Car accidents are one of the top causes of premature death in the US. Self driving cars aren't there yet, but when they are an improvement on human driving they should be encouraged, even if the absolute numbers are still not amazing.
I personally tell you that the full time Purism devs were instrumental in helping me port MMS/VVM to Phosh/Chatty (without their help, MMS/VVM would not exist for Mobile Linux) and they have gone well beyond what I would expect any company would do to help out Mobian/pmOS/overall PP/PPP development (they no doubt help out other distros too, but I don't interact as much in those areas).

I also have an L5 sitting on my desk that I am using full time, and have had it for several months by now.
Even the bad ones had proper fire suppression systems and electrical cut outs.
It is wonderful these maps and artwork is so freely available. When I first read Tolkien many years ago (long before the Jackson films), you could not get this kind of information, art, and maps. Only whatever happened to be in print, which in hindsight was remarkably little.
Menard's is like this too.
It has been solved in other countries, but the U.S. is ok with the right people driving while drunk so has decided to not solve it.

For example in Norway you can drink 1/4 of the amount that you can do in CA while driving, you get jail penalties at .05 and right from the start at .02 the fine is one month salary, meaning even if you are rich you will pay a meaningful amount. So in general Norwegians don’t drink and drive.

I'm running through a similar situation in risk management. There is so much domain and institutional knowledge that's encoded in rules that its nearly impossible to reason about them in a generic way. Add in operational that is also rife with data quality and coverage issues and it becomes quite difficult.

I think we have a term for this in both areas: garbage in, garbage out.

> and to a lesser extent, the court system, are shaped by and largely serve the needs of businesses

Meanwhile many businesses are starting to adopt the ideologies complained about in the article. Soon you won't be a viable option for providing services if you do not bear the mark "anti-racist" . Already my employer would likely retaliate and/or limit my career if it was found that I commented anything but purely affirmative towards all forms of anti-racist or critical race theory rhetoric. A rhetoric that completely strips me of any credibility due to my race and gender.
> They see themselves as something of a generational social movement instead, taking over and coopting institutions they view as offering them a mostly adversarial social contract to begin with.

Thanks for pointing this out. Don’t really care for the OP or most of the discussion, but I think this observation is really something to think on.

I’m not part of law so I can’t relate to that topic, but I can apply this pattern to most institutions (or markets) I’ve interacted with:

* healthcare market (movement to socialize)

* big tech institutions (lots of younger techies support unions, blatantly hate on their big tech employers, etc)

* housing market (upzone or socialize housing are popular topics)

* university (everyone wants the student loan status quo to change, the elite school status quo is garbage too)

Etc…
When I say "costs" I don't mean the $20 for the Uber (although that's not nothing). You have to think about the guy who wants to stop at the bar on his way home from work. To do that properly, he has to drive right past the bar, park at home, schedule an Uber, wait for it, then take it back to the bar.

Or he can just stop on his way home.

We both know what the right thing to do is, but one has significant costs the other doesn't.

Or imagine he does stop at the bar on his way home and tells himself he'll just have one beer, but he ends up having four and shouldn't drive. Now he has to get an Uber, take it home, get another Uber before work in the morning, and take it back to the bar to get his car. And then, finally, head to work.

Or he can just drive home.

Again, we both know what the right thing to do is, but one has significant costs the other doesn't.
That doesn't seem unreasonable in any way shape or form.

If they're capable of launching the platform in every language, they're capable of moderating it in every language.
Simple comparison. The ones I've been in, including the bad ones, actually had more than adequate fire suppression systems, proper electrical cut outs, fire monitoring systems and certificates proving that they had been audited and tested.

This OVH DC was designed to a cost rather than a safety specification and the risk did not pay off.
oh boy. this is interesting.

back in 2011. i had "heard" about this. i had an iphone 3GS and an iphone 2G at the time. the 3GS had gotten ios5 if i remember correctly.

installing the app, it asked me very strangely to "allow truecaller to access your contacts". it took me a few moments to decide no. at the time, IOS had a "parental setting" to hide permissions behind a separate password, like location, contacts, payments, gallery, web, yada yada.

i learned that truecaller works on "you give your contacts and in exchange we give you a one way access to just search for numbers with names and not the other way around.

over time, it became ubiquitous, with people relying on it because "who saves a contact".

now its an obnoxious app that comes preinstalled on all cheap custom roms, shows full page ads every time it displays on screen after a call, it even shows up AFTER you have disabled screen overlays, i assume it gets preferential treatment by these rom makers,

this is the reason why i have never signed up to whatsapp or given facebook any contacts access or even 2fa ( old fb account, not logged in 3 years)

fuck truecaller
I've approached IDEs similarly. But in addition to this, a lot of IDEs lack real accessibility functionality. Jetbrains has accessibility features [0], but it is clear no one at Jetbrains actually uses them. This isn't unique to Jetbrains, there are a lot of companies that implement what I call "fake accessibility". There's a section in their settings to enable "accessibility", but if you actually use it and depend upon it you're met with a garbled mess.

Why is this like pulling teeth? I'm genuinely interested in learning more, and I don't want to search for random results by writers in a field I'm not familiar with.

You're the expert. Could you give me, say, the top three articles on the subject by reputable authors? I know you say not to trust the field, but there must be an intersection between at least a few reputable writers and the subject.
Yes, please bring web directories back!

Today we have more possibilities to manage that than in the early days. Many things can be automatically generated/crawled/MLed or crowdsourced. Browser extensions can help to categorize almost all important websites.

Data sources like Reddit, Stack Overflow or Wikipedia already have many websites categorized. We just need to combine the data.

I did a few experiments myself trying to drive hierarchies from tag data. It works surprisingly well. There is even some academic work in this direction.
We provide a probabilistic percentage result that is used by a trust and safety team to set limits (ie. flag or block content) so it is not a binary yes/no. We search for specific deepfake signatures and we explain what our results are identifying.

> Bitcoin recognizes the history of the debasement of monies very well

I understand that crypto evangelists say that they have "fixed" the problems with physical markets, but time and time again I see crypto projects repeating the biggest failures of monetary history. Ponzi schemes, pump-and-dump, corrupt or fraudulent banks, heists, money laundering, tax havens for the super-rich. In physical economics, we still have those problems but we've built up regulation and fluency to protect ourselves over hundreds of years, and crypto seems to be back in the wild west and people are seriously getting hurt by it. I can't take crypto seriously until it accepts that the regulation that it so desperately tries to avoid actually does protect people.

> they're paid to push inflationism, which benefits the early receivers of new money at the expense of savers, fixed-wage earners and property owners.

Tell me, how do cryptocurrencies benefit fixed-wage earners over "early recievers of new money"? Who do you think benefits most from crypto? It's not wage-workers. Crypto is just an unregulated market with unpredictable volatility, and as such it will always benefit those who can accept that risk early (rich people) more than the people who cant (not rich people).

Cool. Having the only Itanium powered oven/fridge/washer gives him insane nerd street cred.
Maybe. Almost everyone follows the same standard (some version of ICD, https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10.htm) of coding. If it's much better outside the US I'd be surprised, though. The standard is a mess of strange, super-specific things (e.g. ICD10 code W56.52XA is "struck by other fish, initial encounter") that aren't useful for any purpose, and in practice is used mainly for billing (insurance or otherwise).
I love that the fines are scaled to income, makes so much more sense than a flat rate.
Having read an online book of some sort on ggplot2, on one of the tidyverse sites, I found the per-function documentation difficult to use and difficult to match to the concepts I had learned. This may be because I'm used to using the parameters section of a function as the primary resource for understanding the inputs. But with ggplot it's scattered in other places, and the holes are not apparent unless you know the specific terminology (not concepts) to match up.

All that said, I find the documentation to be saying a lot more than it did in the past, and it sounds like it has been continually improving.
> Gentrification isn't about what style of house exists, it's about driving Black community members out of communities.

Gentrification is about real estate scarcity and high prices being a factor in community displacement. It's not just Black folks that are affected by it, e.g. plenty of people complain about highly-paid "techbros" and "Facebuqueros" displacing pre-existing communities in the Bay Area, and that's essentially the same dynamic.

Most Americans would say that an American businessman has more of a right to effective legal counsel than foreign jihadists detained in Guantanamo. Once you start making the distinction between clients who have more or less of a right to effective legal counsel, you’ve already bought into the ideology complained of in the article.
Not really. It's how I thought it worked since that's how it works pretty much everywhere they have this same issue. You stress the grid by offloading your excess electricity to the grid. Now they have to dispose of it somehow and this costs money. The problem arises because lots of people are offloading their excess electricity at the exact same times so nobody needs it really. It's a victim of its own success haha.
I wonder if this is greed or negligence.

Last year it was reported that Facebook failed to remove anti Muslim content in India, another country rife with ethnic tensions. India also happens to have Facebook's largest user base.
> or shop around for others paying better.

That's kind of a weird moral take on things. If you don't like the bounties offered then simply don't invest time in the platform looking for things to exploit.
Or you can just let someone else drive, or you can just not drink or get high if you have to drive a long way back home, or take public transportation. These all are also "solutions" that don't work all the time. So a vehicle that can safely drive itself is yet another solution that can be added to mitigate the issue.
Who is "her"? Are you referring to an article other than the OP? (author is Aaron Sibarium)
That's not coding the solution though, that's exploring the problem.

Obviously it's helpful to formalize the problem! This is no different from manipulating mathematical equations on a piece of paper. =)

I explained that badly. The people who compose bureaucratic institutions are silent. Going neutral, not taking a stance, no comments, are the safe moves, and produce no change either good or bad. Depriving institutions of neutrality is a way to erode their power. This is a tool activists have.

What is the point of the feature if I have to come to the car and inspect that there are no blockages around it?

I use ggplot frequently, but for data manipulation data.table is orders of magnitude more powerful. And more stable.
> If they're capable of launching the platform in every language, they're capable of moderating it in every language.

Uhhhhh this does not follow at all. "If you're capable of launching feature set A, you're capable of launching expanded feature set B" is asinine.
Tarantino's whole thing goes back to Star Wars, which cribbed heavily from films from ~4 genres—sci-fi serials, samurai films, war (mainly WWII) films, and westerns. Its great innovation and enduring legacy in film isn't just its groundbreaking special effects, but the assembly of a film almost entirely from pastiche.

[EDIT] Incidentally, when later Star Wars media gets this fundamental aspect of Star Wars and leans into it, is when it's at its best IMO. You could practically play "spot the rip-off" with The Mandalorian, it borrowed so heavily from other film and TV—and, though perhaps overrated, it's certainly one of the best Star Wars things since the original trilogy. The Last Jedi stood out to me among the Disney-era films for doing a lot more cribbing from sources of the kind that Star Wars used, rather than cribbing just from... Star Wars itself (though it also did that, heavily re-mixing Empire, especially).
>How does Google know if my one week old Google account has a car?

I am being serious when I say this: they probably do.

Plus most people aren’t just entering the google ecosystem for the first time with their new phone.
