I read the intro and skimmed the paper. The title is a bit misleading.

The authors are not "against" using ML to make predictions about human beings for automated decision-making (e.g., whether to approve a loan, offer college acceptance, offer a job, reduce a jail sentence, etc.). What the authors are against is using ML for such purposes without explicitly addressing multiple common-sense issues that unfairly impact groups of human beings.

Specifically, the authors recommend that those organizations which use ML for automated decision-making to specify how they are dealing with these issues, instead of sweeping them under the rug. This strikes me as a sensible recommendation.

I agree the person you're replying to is ranting a bit, but that comes across as saying "you're wrong because you don't have enough experience".
Thank you!

Actually, the longest part of building this was finding the right wording. Here are some previous attempts:

- When painting this, I had no artistic intent

- When painting this, there was nothing I wanted to express with the picture

- When painting this, I wanted to express nothing

In German, there's a nice ambiguity: "Bei diesem Bild habe ich mir nichts gedacht" is somewhere between 'I was not thinking' and 'I wanted to express nothing.'. It's also the reason why I went with a German stamp (which is my mother tongue) and not an English one.

It is SO complicated to say that I wasn't up to anything with these pictures.

I've had this happen twice to me. Once when I started selling things from a long standing account. Again when I was selling and they just closed it.

I got exactly the same lack of explanation each time. T&C's say that I can't open another account but my new accounts have the same address associated with it.

Ask HN: How to prevent a company from taking my domain name?
I have bought a 5 letter COM domain name that I'll call lname.com, which matches my last name. It has no meaning in English. I'm from a poor country and I spent like a year or so to save up for it, which cost roughly 6 months of average net salaries in my country about 7 years ago.

I was in my early 20s and one could argue, that it was not the wisest decion of a young adult, but I don't regret it honestly. It always felt like I have a small piece of the web realestate which has my name labeled on it and I absolutely love my fname@lname.com email address. I created an address for my wife, father, mother, brother and his wife in the same way which they are using daily and are proud of.

I was very stressed for any domain or registrar errors that might cause that I lose the domain name and I still am very afraid of it. I have however read quite a few "horror stories" in the past years, regarding bigger companies which were able to obtain people's personal or business domain names, just because they are huge companies with extensive finances and good lawyers. I already know of two companies in different countries which have the very same name as I occasionally receive emails written to them on my catch-all email address.

For now the domain is used to host our personal sites, but I recently started working as a web developer and may do freelance work or even create a startup or company in the future. I don't know what this domain will be used for, but I can't say that it will always be for personal use. Maybe it will be the same industry as other companies with the same name. Maybe not. I know a domain name can't be patented. Trademarking is possible, but there are a lot of requirements. What do experts propose?

TLDR: What can I do to secure my domain name, no matter what happens?

No, I mean that you have to re-shade the maps with light coming from the south-east, and display them with the south up. This will give the correct effect for the northern hemisphere.

A more universal solution is to orient your maps with east up (which is a common convention), and light them from wherever the sun is. Then the morning light in the rendered maps will always come from the top (in the equator), top-right (northern hemisphere) and top-left (southern hemisphere).
ah yah, something akin to the Defining Decade https://www.amazon.com/Defining-Decade-Your-Twenties-Matter/...
Happens to me, occasionally, and I’m as smart/cynical as they come.

It’s embarrassing, but I have managed to avoid being really ripped off. The worst one, was many years ago, when I responded to a “your domain name is available” email.

I got the domain, eventually, but I probably paid double its worth, and had to get into an e-shouting match with the scammers, who were trying to lease me the name, as opposed to sell it to me (they do this, so they can quadruple the cost, as soon as you set up some infrastructure on the name).

They gave it to me, in the end, because I made it clear that I was gonna be one hell of a PItA to keep as a “customer.”

Welcome to “being human.”
I agree, this is more of a personal take on how art should be produced and perceived without calling for a societal upheaval or annihilation or art as we know.

I'm burnt out on reviews, I did maybe ten last year but never spend less than a day on each and sometimes two. In my papers every reference fits to the best of my knowledge (knowledge informed by actually reading said cited material) and i follow best practices in statistical analyses, so I hold other papers to the same standard. Just an unsustainable standard to hold. I'd like to see journals pay statisticians to focus on methodology, I'm not sure if honourariums are a solution for peer review though. It would help me justify spending the time to do them but I reckon there would be a subset of hyperprolific reviewers half assing it more than ever to maximise the income per time spent.
Simple legislative fix: entitle the victim (small business) to quickly and easily claim a trademark infringement on an ad, and claw back 100% of Google's revenue on that ad. And let Google be civilly liable, if they choose to contest such a trademark claim and they're in the wrong.

Inspired by YouTube's DMCA claim system (or my superficial understanding of it). If there's a "bug bounty" on fraud, there will be an enthusiastic market for identifying it. If ad fraud doesn't reliably pay, the fraud market will be disincentivized. Finally, Google itself will have incentives less mis-aligned with its users'; its current incentive system being "the fraudsters pay us more; therefore we love fraud!"
> The concept of factuality doesn't exist in the model at all.

This is an example of a whole range of beliefs about LLMs that are very common (even in the field itself), because they were obviously true for small models, but that might not necessarily hold for larger models. There's a lot that we don't know about LLMs, but we do know that they exhibit emergent behaviors as they scale. Smaller models don't really have world models, just language models, but these larger models have started developing clear world models once given the capacity and data to do so.

As for the existence of a concept of factuality, I found this paper[1] very interesting. It details an unsupervised method to identify which internal activations of the model correspond to factual statements, regardless of what the model ends up saying. Looking at those internal activations rather than just the model's output even reduces the model's susceptibility to prompts that lead it towards saying the wrong answer.

> at the cost of readability.

You mean the readability of "p-2 bg-red-500 text-lg font-medium" or "i-dont-remember-what-this-class-does"?

I'd argue the readability in Tailwind is better. Tailwind is highly indicative of what it does and doesn't waste time when it comes to consistency.

The only real argument is that it adds extra length to the class attribute, but then again, it doesn't cause issues like finding the same class in 50 different CSS files or not having any auto-completion.
The answer from Google's point of view is for the Thai restaurant to pay more for the advert so they are at the top of the rankings.

When Google stopped putting a meaningful distinction between paid results and organic results that was a line for me. It's fine to have an adverts - you have to pay the bills but when the adverts become the results it's just pay to play rentseeking by Google and the product is now untrustworthy and on a downward spiral as a result. Amazon search results have taken a similar route, you can search for something specific and get something totally unsuitable as top result now.

I get your point, and it was a pretty serious discussion in the early days I think.

The Death of The Author (1967) by Roland Barthes might interest you:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author

Personally I think an artist without intention would not interest me, though I agree that his intent is not necessarily of greater significance than the viewer's reaction.
Saying people use Tailwind because they don't know CSS well enough is simply untrue. I feel like you don't even want to understand why people actually like Tailwind. It's not like you arguing against it will make us stop using something we love.
I know little about this subject, but let me take the devil's advocate position. In that last example, how are teachers of English expected to teach writing styles, choice of words and phrases, language features and techniques or sentence forms if they can't analyse such choices in examples from literature?

I know there's a movement in artistic circles that denies intent in the artist, but some artists do actually have an intent. Art is used as a medium for communication and therefore can have meaningful content. It's important to their artistic expression. It seems to me that not all art is semiotically vacant. Is that therefore bad art? Should it not be studied in those terms?

I'm an outsider, I have zero artistic training or background so the chances I have any idea what I'm talking about are extremely low. The only reason I even know what semiotics means is because a flat mate of mine studied contemporary dance and I helped her with an essay on it once a long time ago, as English wasn't her first language.

Note that the survey (which found "Teenager are leaning more...") was done in the UK.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true in the US. But in the US (I don't know about the UK), Sex Ed. in public schools is often a very divisive political issue. If a US School Board decided that they would offer no Sex Ed. whatever, because they didn't want their regular public meetings to be no-mans-lands in the Culture Wars - I would not blame them in the least.
There aren't many alternatives. Particularly for international transfers.
> Is it naive to think that police officers can restrain someone holding a knife and being non compliant, potentially dangerous?

Swedish law is not that the police should attempt this.

The basic idea (which today is hard to understand, I know…) is that it’s a rather minor crime to hold a knife in public and it’s not a crime at all to be non compliant with police instructions. So the police does not have legal authority to shoot [1]. They essentially have to wait it out and see what happens.

But what has changed over the last 20 years is that the concept of self defense (“nödvärn”) has been expanded enormously when applied specifically to the police, in an extrajudicial way, so that it now more matches your expectation: “if he seems dangerous / could do something bad in the future, shoot!”

Ask HN: Could we have explanation for Flagging Submissions to Learn?
I would like to have some explanation for flagged submissions. Like "too much political" or "unverified source". Because when something is flagged without explanation, we cannot learn from it and we are bequeathed to repeat mistakes.

For example I submitted PDF here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34757769 but was flagged after while (and discussed as well). But I'm not sure why? Was it too political? Was it because of source from dropbox?

I don't want to relate my question for this specific example. Just a suggestion to explaining flagging.
I get a normal amount of ads on Instagram, but half of them are for tshirts with a video of a shirtless fat guy, and the other half are for Viagra. It ignores me every time I dismiss them.
It has always boggled my mind that you're even allowed to publish ads targeting other companies brand names as keywords without being the verified owner of that company.

But I understand Google here. It's probably their single biggest income stream. Our company is using a very big chunk of our ad words budget targeting our own brand name to make sure it's on top. More than for any other keyword by far. And I imagine many others do the same.

Sure, you can build your own Dropbox. All you need is cheap drives, right?

Seriously, there is a place for the cloud, and keeping your operations there. And there is also a place for running everything yourself. You just have to be brutally honest with yourself and everyone else about what ALL the costs are, both monetary and otherwise, before you make that decision.

In the end, I think many people who go the self-hosted route actually have a much higher TCO than if they used the cloud. Yes, their monetary costs might go up substantially, but there are also non-monetary costs that I think would go down substantially. And I think the latter usually tend to outweigh the former.

Of course, one thing that you have to do when operating in the cloud is to make sure you keep a close eye on all those costs.

The price of freedom is perennial vigilance. And there's a 24x7x365 cost to be paid for perennial vigilance.
We shouldn't need to use uBlock.

It is easy to assign blame to victims.

This has happened to bycicle owners. If you don't lock your bike it's your fault your bike gets stolen. But theft is illegal. Theft is if someone wants to take something that doesn't belong to him and then executes the taking. Locks don't change this fact. It just makes the execution of the crime more difficult.

I have a vision of an utopia where people can leave all things unlocked. If they get stolen, the thief gets identified immediately and he has to give the things back. No punishment at all or only a token punishment. This should work because sanctions are not neccessary if no harm was done. Today we punish caught thieves somewhat harshly because we need to deter people from becoming thieves. If we can stop thefts just after the fact, token punishment will suffice. If someone repeatedly tries to steal things in that utopia we could offer therapy or try to find out the underlying cause of the attempted thefts. That's utopia: everything works out perfectly for everybody (shrugs).

Today we lock our browsing experience using uBlock just because we have to. We also have to lock our bikes, because we have to. Sorry for the tangent.
I mean realistically the US has little to lose by letting Mexicans (actual Mexicans with Mexican citizenship) into the US the sort of way an (USA)American can go the other way. Frankly it's a pretty weak concession. I think we would have done it in exchange for free flow of capital if pressed.
Nevermind that if you are relying primarily on agents of the state to prevent fraud, your society is already fundamentally broken.

The state enforcing laws using the threat of violence (the only enforcement mechanism they have) is a last resort, not a first. Institutions having the desire to not create a broken world should be the first line of defense.

Google doesn't give a fuck anymore, and are fine watching the world burn now. I personally speculate that most Googlers today are simply there for the paycheck, and their apathy about the way their products work reflects that.

Interesting concept. I particularly appreciate how much it allows to untangle in the trio artist <-> art piece <-> viewer.

It has to be noted though that it is very difficult to "just like" a piece of art for good reasons. Art historically had a function: religious, mystic, political... and we're still stuck with this legacy. The function of art has only recently been deemed to be a raw trigger of raw emotions. For better or for worse, I can't say. Probably both.

It also seems to me that "having nothing in mind" is polysemic and I'd be interested in knowing which prevails or how they coexist for the artist. "I had no intention", "I had no goal" and "My mind was blank" (is it even possible?) draw 3 very different intentions.

Again, it's a very interesting approach. One might argue that it is too formalized, elaborate and sophisticated of an approach only to claim that the creation process is "with nothing in mind", but I don't think that the intensity of the concept and the outcome have to align in all points. The only certainty. here is that it cannot be categorized as naive.

Which brings us to the audience. The audience for this project clearly is an educated one, one that met the struggles of having to comment and understand a piece of art and the ridiculous situations and discussions that often ensue to battle over who has the biggest one (brains, I mean).

And look at my own comment... full of gibberish and not a single word on the art pieces themselves. I quite like them though. Shapes, colors, textures, they're beautiful.
