> Your personality, culture and appearance are the main components of how people perceive you, your identity

I'm not sure if this is bad rhetoric (defining identity as how you are perceived rather than who you are) or if you really think of your own identity as the judgements that random people make about you based on who knows what. Either way, please rethink.

> Your personality, culture and appearance are the main components of how people perceive you, your identity

Ah, so if you asked for 100 numbers between 1-100, there's no reason not to expect 100 numbers very close to 50?

> Why do you think that every sample has to be implicitly representative of the US population?

That is a straw man that I am not suggesting. I am suggesting that there should be some variation. It doesn't have to represent the US population, but can you really think of ANY context where a sample of 100 families turns up every single one having one male and one female parent, who are still married and alive?

You're bringing a culture war mindset to a discussion about implicit bias in AI. It's not super constructive.
On the other hand, maybe we'll abandon peer review and return to a pre 1950's like style? Everyone in ML just uses arxiv because the field is moving so fast. All work is realistically peer reviewed once it is out there. We treat conferences (more important than journals) as very noisy signals. Unfortunately, we still use those as metrics for completing degrees or hiring people.

The way I would try to make this better is just to post to OpenReview rather than arxiv or integrate the two. That way discussions can be had on the works, in the open, and public.
"chapters on democracy and diversity; political parties; and challenges to democracy have been scrapped" this is even more dangerous.
you're thinking about it wrong, they don't have any effect on each other, even if you think you can use one to reason about the other

if russia says A, we can assume !A due to russia's history of dishonesty, literally with no other information necessary

someone else being dishonest, even if true, doesn't make russia more honest, so we can still assume !A

indeed, because russia's history of dishonesty is so long and strong, we can stop right there, unless russia proves its probable lies are actually truthful (such is the fate of a liar)

if they don't like it, they can start being honest and keep it up for a few decades to show they've changed
If we were talking about the climate problem, you would be right. But your comment is a goal shifting, because I replied to the problem of abuse of the firmware in the chips. Abuse can't happen with free software.
It's only affecting 10th grade CBSE (NCERT), not ICSE or state board* exams, let alone competitive board exams like the JEE (Engineering) or NEET (Medicine).

It's still being taught in the NCERT books as well, but now in 12th grade instead of 10th grade.

The scarier thing should be the rewriting of the history section of CBSE.

* board is Indian English for curriculum

Also, on the hierarchy of Indian board exams:

Top - ICSE

Medium - some State Boards

Low - CBSE, some state boards

Board exams are orthogonal to college entrance exams in India.

For example, IIT and Engineering admissions are gated by the JEE, so students oftentimes bunk 10th-12th grade to study the JEE and try to get a D average in the Board exam (because there's only so much you can study).

Board exams do have value though for most average colleges though and some top tier non-Eng ones (eg. If I wanted to study Law at St Stephen's College, University of Delhi or Business at Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi - both programs that feed into the political and business elite of India).

The Indian system is confusing and weird and there is some reform within it to become much more similar to the American system, but that's a work in progress.
Some journals in fact implement this idea (e.g. having the raw data underlying each figure one click away). That is however not the crux of the reproducibility crisis; it would be great if it was just "I can't make an exact copy of Supplementary Figure 5D", but rather "I can't confirm that protein X causes dementia using orthogonal techniques". There is no easy code fix for that problem.
That's too many words and also implies you have that much of a choice over who you talk to when you're new. Some places are meant to be more social than others. Emphasis is on "nice neighborhood bar", i.e. not a dive full of shady sour-faced dudes who whine about drink prices, don't tip, and are looking to "score" or whatever. Doesn't have to be fancy, just not the college crowd.

The default move for pretty much anyone new is to find an open seat at the bar near people who are also there alone (you know because they're sitting apart). Order a drink and try to guess simple questions or comments they might also have in mind. Try to keep it lighthearted. In fact the more restrained you are the more some of those people are going to be weirded out by you. You're expected to be comfortable. They want you to say something. The best way to avoid the extra words is to say things when you're also doing something else. If you are ordering a drink next to them, they're already listening and watching you. If you turn to them to say anything in that moment you didn't need to break any ice.

Everyone likes answering questions about themselves because they're there to be seen as much as you. Notice something and be nice. 90% of the time even just "nice shoes..." will get a smile and an in. "Where did you get them?" Next part depends on the shoes: "What do you do? Do you run? Do you hike? Did you just get out of work (non-slip/uniform)? Did you just come back from a wedding? Do you make balloon animals? (kidding)" "What are you drinking? Nice choice. Have you visited that brewery down the road? You watch football? Have you had the food here? Why don't they ever put enough salt? Can you pass the salt? Hey what's the bartender's name? Melissa! Can I get some silverware and salt? Thanks so much, oh and a shot for my friend." etc.

The hardest part is the first friends, but they also determine what other people you'll meet. Don't overthink it if it seems everyone's the same. Just pick the person you were most interested in first because if you don't then people will still assume that's why you're near them instead.

EDIT: I can't believe I glossed over your question, but...

> What’s in it for them for telling you.

What's in it for them is the same as what's in it for you. You want to relax somewhere and meet new people. For some people there's not much in it for them other than being a friend to someone who needs it. For yet still others, they simply don't ask such questions because they think the mindset of needing to always make a return sounds like work, and they're not there to work.
Bumping. Would be deeply interested too.

I did some search and didn't find any recent statement on that.
proportionally, sure, but there are a lot of cities you can live without owning a car in the united states. Just about every metropolitan area and nearly any city over 150k people on the west coast seem to be navigable by at most a bike.
It's a a great sentiment to have in hindsight but will only take another crisis for comfortable people to get rid of their "common ground" and peacetime understanding of others and be happy with whatever eroding of freedoms are needed for the greater good. We will see it happen again.

The real question therefore should not be "lets find common ground now its peacetime and be friends" but "how can we be resilient to not be enemies in the next war?".

It's a difficult and deep question which requires a kind of secure moral framework to operate in.

> Who is going to scrub the toilets and change adult diapers in the meantime?

Read B. F. Skinner's "Walden Two" for some ideas how to handle this. For example, a society could dynamically / periodically adjust revenues for jobs less preferred and lower revenues for jobs most liked.

That is, if you get enough "perks" for one day oft scrubbing toilets and then four days off, someone might prefer this over five days of toiling in a bank? ;-0
"But I wouldn't know when to replace my brush-head without this smart toothbrush with it's embedded electronics in a piece of plastic to track on time, contributing to further e-waste in a way that we all know will lead to planned obsolescence the second that Braun decides they need to prop up revenue in a bad year".

I mean, we have entire app ecosystems now that are basically just "hey, have some self control and put your phone down", so I'm not sure why this surprises me.
Funding the storing and serving of all of that data doesn't sound like a difficult problem to me. That has gotten SO cheap over the past couple of decades. There are plenty of well funded institutions that can support that kind of resource.
I understand how journals made sense during a time when distribution was a hard problem. Now with the internet I don’t get the reason for them to exist in the form it does in 2023.
Both public and private schools in India use NCERT books and have the same examinations. Private schools only ensure things are taught better, what is taught is still the same.
I was always a little unclear why people used this at all. What does it offer over, say, semi-modern zip files? (I have dim memories of early zip files having weird restrictions on size and number of files, but those seem to have been long since resolved).
> You basically have to choose the least bad options.

Do you? I choose not to vote because I refuse to participate in a charade of false consensus. If you pick the lesser of two evils, you are still picking evil.

The obvious -- yet never stated -- reason voter turnout is so bad in the United States is that the candidates offered are such garbage.
Its free but there aren't enough schools and many kids dont attend.
The trend in the us is not making sure only the wealthy get a good education. more people in the us than ever go to college and we are smarter and more educated than ever before.
The main thing, though, is that we need to figure out how to validate that these people have spotted some bullshit, while helping them to expand their context. It is entirely possible that it's far too late for any such meliorations, and it is necessarily going to have to take to the streets before we bring it back to the table. I hope not.

What leads them down these toxic paths is that they lack the full context; they have been primed on decades of Pelican Brief X Files Conspiracy turds to not trust certain parties, but somehow they've missed that there are worse parties than those.
Yes, of course it's possible, Elon Musk demonstrated fast swap for Tesla back in 2013 and it went absolutely nowhere, because logistics and cost are not viable.

It is not in any way green to replace an old battery pack that has 90% capacity and no operational problems with a new battery pack, even if that new pack has more range. The most green approach would to continue to use the old battery pack until it is unreliable. Not to mention that there is a real cost to providing new extended-range packs as replacements for old ones that will be passed on to the consumer, even as technology progresses. Unless I deeply needed that added range, why wouldn't I just choose both the greener and cheaper solution by paying literally nothing and continuing to use the old pack?

Most of us EV owners already get on the road "faster than using a petrol station" since we charge overnight and spend literally zero time waiting for the car to finish fueling. There is no more risk to charging my car at home than running a vacuum or the dryer.

Battery packs used in EVs since the aughts have been remarkably resilient and completely unnecessary to exchange. Battery swaps are a niche here, not a primary use case - given their size and cost it will be especially expensive and difficult to coordinate even if the swap itself is easy.
That's Windows Update, not the Windows API that motherboard manufacturers use to inject themselves into the boot process.

I don't want any politician or intelligentsia sitting on top of a LLM.

It's not about left wing politics.

It's more about the fact that the CIA and other law enforcement agencies, lean heavily to one side. Some of that side are funded by people or organizations whose stated goals and ideals don't really align with human rights, open markets, democracy, etc. I don't trust such people to be ethical stewards of some of the most powerful tools mankind has created to date.

I'd rather it be open sourced and the people at the top be 100% truthful in why they are there, what their goals are, and what they (especially a former CIA operative) are influencing on a corporate level relative to the product.

How to choose the right smart home devices
Thanks for the link -- that is a good paper (in the sense of making its point, though I also don't entirely agree), and it hurts the AI risk position that that kind of thinking doesn't get airtime. It may be that those 'core thinkers' are aware, but if so it's counter-productive and of questionable integrity to sweep that side of the argument under the rug.
> Illegal guns start as legal guns.

To be pedantic, there are very few actually illegal guns. Mostly we are talking about crimes committed by felons who have committed prior crimes are no longer legally allowed access to firearms.

That same gun, if possessed by a non-felon, would be legal.

I don't know if this is or isn't important to the analogy, but I do think it applies.
It's not like tailors have their own looms, they're buying fabric same as everyone else. The value-add is that a tailor can do alterations or made-to-order clothes.

Even "industrialized" clothing relies on humans to do most of the joining work so the pricing advantage isn't as big if we actually cracked down on labor exploitation. We won't but a girl can dream, right?
I've never seen another person mention this book! This book was one of the most philosophically thought provoking books I think I've ever read, and I read a fair amount of philosophy.

I disagree with the author's conclusion that violence is justified. I think we're just stuck, and the best thing to do is live our lives as best as possible. But much like Marxists are really good at identifying the problems of capitalism but not at proposing great solutions (given the realities of human nature), so is the author regarding the problems of technology.
Amazon corporate workers to stage walkout citing lack of trust in leadership
(I'm Indian but left India ~15 years ago, so my info may be out of date.)

It's free in government schools, what Americans would call public schools. Middle and upper class kids usually go to public schools, what Americans would call private schools, which have fees and may use non-NCERT textbooks too. I believe that for a school to be ratified it is only required that it teach at least what is mandated by the relevant education board (generally the national level one, CBSE), so it would be okay for a ratified school to use a private textbook that teaches the NCERT syllabus + periodic table + evolution.

Also college coaching classes (for IIT-JEE etc) may continue to cover these topics anyway. Even during my time they were covering topics that had been cut from the government-mandated curriculum, so it wouldn't be surprising.
Pointing and laughing at the "Freetards" only works when the proprietary software isn't actively enshittifying itself.

Re: smart people avoiding wrapper work - sure! Not just because the result might be short lived, but also because there is a lot more prestige in building something from scratch rather than wrapping.

However, the "very very temporary space" might as well lead to momentum and a moat in a subdomain, and anyone who met a sufficiently large number of smart people knows that lots of them are very pragmatic, don't chase prestige, and enjoy laying ground work for future iterations.

There's so many places where you don't need "real" human touched art but you could do with stylized custom images. Midjourney and friends make it a million times harder to make a living doing small time commissioned art, stuff like dungeons and dragons character and world art, furry commissions and smut, and hobby art in general.
That goes against what I heard from my Indian friends. I was told that public schools are actually more prestigious than private schools, they are more rigorous apparently?

Additionally, comparisons are always statements of similarity, and this is a symmetric relation.

After all, the person is saying the Nazis were similar in badness to group X, and X might not be very bad.

From what I've read, the Holocaust was a pretty open secret in Germany. Wikipedia [1] cites studies suggesting that 30-50% of German adults during WWII were aware of the Holocaust, and I'm inclined to believe the higher estimates (especially if you include people who could reasonably suspect that extermination was going on but didn't want to think too hard on it lest they realize their own moral culpability).

There was a tool lending library near where I grew up in England in the 1990s. There was also a toy library, where we borrowed toys for a month or so at a time.

I doubt either exists now, but I'm sure the buses do. They don't smell. The cleaning contract for the buses will have been outsourced to the lowest bidder, but they still do the job.

Actually, the tool library probably still exists. I found one is Glasgow easily
