Because both the original conviction and any recidivism is determined through the decision-making of people who are aware of race and racial stereotypes. The AI would just be laundering the decisions you were already making, not improving them.

edit: imagine I was a teacher who systematically scored people with certain physical characteristics 10% lower than people who didn't have them. Let's say, for example, that I was a stand-up comedy teacher that wasn't amused by women.

If I used an AI trained on that data to choose future admissions (assuming plentiful applicants), I would end up with an all-male class. If this happened throughout the industry (especially noting that the all-male enrollment that I have would supply the teachers of the future), stand-up comedy would simply become a thing that women were seen as not having the aptitude to do, although nobody explicitly ever meant to sabotage women, just to direct them into something that they would have a better chance to succeed in.
> it is just a bunch of random phrases out of context put in a way to convey the desired message from a source that lack any credibility..

Is that why Twitter hasn't responded to them? Hence no denial or refutation from them? Just like they did not respond to the leaked all hands video?

> so the video has no validity to begin with for us to disprove..

If that is so, why hasn't it been debunked yet? Why hasn't Project Veritas retracted it immediately then if they're wrong? Either way, if Twitter / YouTube removes it they have something to hide and if they don't respond with a refutation, it makes the claims more believable. It gets worse the more they hesitate.

> unless you have access to the source material and can give context to the stuff that was being discussed in those multiple conversations i see no reason we should trust or care about this video..

Perhaps you can ask them to post that video in full, since they were able to post the full leaked Twitter all hands video which lots of the same so-called 'trusted' media sources also cared to indirectly reference it as well in their own articles about the all hands meeting.

So unless you have a full debunking of both this video's confessions and also the leaked Twitter all hands video that these media sources was referencing, then we can only conclude that this video as it stands is legitimate and still remains un-refuted and still not debunked by anyone.
You are assuming the thing can drop itself. When that is fine, sure, do RAII. But not all cases can be done that way.

For example, the Rust allocators working group has been contorting itself about deallocation. The right thing to do is to not store a pointer to a (de)allocator in e.g. every Box<T, A>, but just pass the (de)allocator when it comes time to deallocate a box. But Rust is completely incapable of expressing this and so we will get some crazy epicycle thing instead, or no good support for custom allocators with non-flat data structures.

Even if RAII is the 90% solution I think it is still good to layer the feautres in this way:

1. Linear types. Fundamental building block for that some types one cannot just forget the values.

2. Defer, sugar for scope-based running some code that will eliminate a linear variable. avoiding an error.

3. RAII, a way to fill provide a default defer command if none was manually provided. Default is "type driven" --- we associate a default defer command with the linear type that would be dropping.

From a Rust Perspective, we would want to distinguish Clone (an arbitrary convention for cloning) from Copy (and indication we can in fact copy for free. Saying types that need a destructor and types that don't are both affine is like adding some .clone() sugar and erasing the Copy--Clone distinction --- It is erasing a lot of essential nuance/complexity and I don't think a good idea.

Eh, it's difficult to blame economists, or any other type of scientist here. They all deal with improbability and uncertainty.

It's the politicians and voting public that are the problem.

It's easy to get massive numbers of people to vote for you by giving out is completely wrong as long as you're extremely confident in your presentation of it. It's easy for these political winners to drive the economic systems to collapse while increasing authoritarianism by said false confidence. People want to vote uncertainty away, authoritarianism is one way of doing that.
I don't know of any missiles that have enough situational awareness to attempt to actively avoid an interceptor. They might dispense decoys (like the Iskander does), but a hypersonic cruise missile won't have the appropriate radar to detect an incoming interceptor. It might have an ECM/ECCM package that can tell when it's being targeted by a radar system, but that's about it.
> Wait you ssh into a BeagleBoneBlack and compile C on the device?

Exactly how am I supposed to access the hardware that only exists on the Beaglebone Black itself, otherwise?

You can cross-compile all day, but, in the end, I need to code to be running over there to toggle those GPIOs. I need the debugging to be over there. I need VSCode to be running over there.

I can think of a few (DirectQB, BlastLib, UGL, ...) but they all appeared much later than the original QBasic demo programs (late 90s / early 00s). At the time these games were written, if you really wanted faster or better graphics, you probably didn't use QBasic to begin with. And most importantly, if my mind doesn't play tricks on me, I think those libraries only worked with QuickBasic (the commercial compiler), not QBasic (the less feature-right interpreter shipping with MS-DOS). The only assembly speedups you could have in QBasic were through CALL ABSOLUTE.
> Those diagnoses aren't wrong, the patients' bodies spontaneously healed themselves.

Such patients weren't in fact dead. They were, it turns out, very much alive and still forming memories. Resurrection is not a thing.

> suggesting, I believe, that it's okay to kill them because they're "not people"

Why on Earth would it be OK to kill newborns just because they aren't people? People's pet dogs aren't people either. Have you got it into your head that it's OK to just kill somebody's pet dog if you want to? It isn't.

As I think I already said, the nice thing about a newborn baby from an ethical point of view is that it's not biologically dependent on the mother for life support, so you can just find somebody to adopt it. Turns out there are in fact plenty of would-be adoptive parents.

> At what age or stage of development do newborns turn from not-people to people?

This appears to be a gradual process. Parents will be able to tell you it really sneaks up on you. Fortunately it will almost never matter exactly when and so there's no reason to expend thought on drawing a line in the sand for something you're never going to need to care about.

This is awesome although I solve these problems a different way for my workflow. If I really need to dive into git I use Tower. For adding to a commit, I basically never need to add anything less than everything. In 1 step I add everything and commit with a message without needing quotes:

I searched for the original text in Mein Kampf in German, he wrote:

"Ich selbst hatte unterdes nach unzähligen Versuchen eine endgültige Form niedergelegt; eine Fahne aus rotem Grundtuch mit einer weißen Scheibe und in deren Mitte ein schwarzes Hakenkreuz"

As established[1], the word Hakenkreuz was already used at that point to describe the swastika, including in the original religious meaning. So he wrote "a black swastika". Translating it as "hooked cross" is IMO like translating "kindergarten" to "child garden", technically correct, but weird.

> Correct me if I'm wrong, but assigning new symbolic meaning to a symbol results in a new, unrelated symbol.

Does it? The German Bundeswehr still uses the Iron Cross. It's the same symbol, it has the same name, the same origin. But doesn't the meaning differ, whether you see it on a German tank now or on a tank of the Imperial Army in WW1 or the neck of a german officer in WW2?

I'm not sure whether or not there is a definition of symbol. If you define a symbol as a character or icon paired with a certain meaning, then you're right. But that would imply that e.g. the weird S[2] everyone draw at school was a different symbol every time. Would you agree with that?

I don't think there's any risk of damaging the sensor. The shutter is a mechanical part that will physically wear out over time, the sensor is converting photons into voltage.

I've been using my camera as a webcam for over 2 years without any issue, and it's usually on for several hours per day. As long as the sensor isn't getting very hot then I don't think there's much risk to the camera.

I'd be very careful about suggesting that failure proves there is no market for something.

Many PC companies failed before Apple succeeded. Apple itself failed to the point of almost being acquired by Sun before succeeding by buying NeXT and shipping some hit products in the form of colourful iMacs and iPods with click-wheels.

The biggest problem with luxury products is that they have almost nothing to do with the product's tangible features and everything to do with whether you can establish a valuable brand. We live in a world where people spend thousands of dollars on fancy numbers that we have a kind of gentleman's agreement signify that they "own" a jpeg anyone can copy.

I suggest that there is absolutely a market for ridiculously priced phones, but the problem is not hand-crafting a phone with rare materials, the problem is creating the collective hallucination that owning such a phone will make other people envy you.

Apple actually sold some solid gold watches. There was a market for a $18,000 Apple Watch. It wasn't something worth sustaining in perpetuity, but there was a market. They also launched ridiculously priced accessories from Hermes, and there is still a market for them almost a decade later.

People will pay large amounts of money for exclusive items, but it takes a particular set of skills to launch something and convince the world it's the must-have accessory of the moment.
I have this cycle now, but I didn't have it when I was in high school. It sort of crept up on me.

I've seen B2B contracts like the kind proposed above (the terms as a form attached to a pre-existing contract). They've been a thing for decades; they're just very uncommon and usually aren't used until the businesses already have a pre-existing contractual relationship.

Generally, the integration clause is uncommon in the contracts I've seen; it's used in big-ticket contracts (like M&A) but not so much in day-to-day contracts where friction can kill a transaction.

Being able to ensure a strike with a single missile is a force multiplier especially when it comes to deterrence. If you need 10 missiles to ensure one hit your enemy may think they have favourable odds in a first strike. If you only need 1 missile per hit then the outcome of a first strike is not so good if they don’t get every single one of your missiles.

One unfortunately thing is that the industry in general struggles with incrementally improve functionality within a product over time, this goes for product managers, project manager, software developers etc.

This is why everyone wants to make every decision up front, before you have enough knowledge about what you are building, with endless meetings instead of pushing it out and learn that way.

Software developers doesn't like it because that could mean large rewrites because of ripple effects.

Product owners fears that there won't be second chance to do things, thus try to cram in as much as possible early on.

Project managers fears it is going to be more expensive to revisit functionality instead of doing it once.
Consider the following scenario.

> There are a lot of people who feel quite strongly that homeopathy cures all kinds of diseases, but they've failed to demonstrate that.

This is a really poor comparison. How many people who know enough to judge these things believe that? I can understand that you’re rigorous in the empirical claims you accept here, but surely you can see that experienced software developers have somewhat more basis to make claims about type systems than random people do about homeopathy.

> or at least, the effect does not seem to be big

Fair enough! It’s probably not as big as testing or code review but I do think it exists. You mentioned the TypeScript study, it’s not like there’s no evidence for believing this like there is with homeopathy.

> So far, we've failed to show that static types reduce bugs, period.

I mean, how could they not? You still haven’t explained this part, except with vague allusions that the problems they catch are not the most common problems. I’ve explained how static types reduce bugs: by eliminating cases where you intend to handle a case and forget to. I’ll specify that I mean a type system with exhaustivity checking or narrowing with control flow (like TS or Kotlin). This is not an empirical argument, it’s a rational argument, and I still legitimately don’t understand what the flaw is. The way I see it, static type systems restrict operations on types to those known to be valid at compile time. In a sound type system and compiler, the resulting program is guaranteed not to make invalid operations on types at runtime. Dynamic programs are fully free to make invalid operations on types at runtime. Some number of bugs are caused by making invalid operations on types at runtime. Where are those bugs in a statically typed program, if they haven’t been eliminated?

You are right. This package is simultaneously ineffective and of a trivial size compared to the US housing market. The primary result, as per usual, is to shift taxpayer dollars towards landowners and mortgage lenders.

The primary way to actually improve the housing market is to shift taxes away from improvements and onto land value. This would remove the disincentive to build and add a disincentive to engage in idle speculation.

Secondarily, we should remove the local regulatory hurdles that constrain supply, such as restrictive zoning, mandatory parking minimums, etc.
I wonder what Johnson thinks about the decline of reading going on in parallel to the rise of TV viewership? It's true that old shows or movies might have had simpler and more tidy plots (not all of them of course), but I think even the most complicated modern shows aren't nearly so complicated as a basic novel. Case in point, anything adapted from print to tv or film has a lot of plot left out because there simply isn't enough time to convey that information given the lower information density of these forms of media vs the printed page. Before serialized TV was also serialized stories that could have very complicated subplots and other things going on. Then you have the newspaper itself with all of its complicated real world subplots; a lot more content certainly than what the talking heads on CNN can cover even with 24 hour news.

It's interesting with the internet too, even though there should be a lot more stories in the zeitgeist at once given its wide reach, sometimes due to its virality, one storyline is able to dominate everything at once and suck the air out of the room. Did we really need a dozen article about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in everything from Reuters to The Atlantic for seemingly two whole days? If you only got news from twitter that might consume your entire feed. If you got your news from the newspaper, that would at most just consume one article or two out of many others of pages of printed material. It would also be limited to probably one section of the many different sections of the paper all covering different news topics.
