Group versus individuals. Stereotypes can be accurate on average between groups but inaccurate for individuals. The accuracy versus bias distinction of the paper kind of overlooks this, even though it's the crux of the…
I live and breathe IRT models of the sort they discuss for my work and it's fascinating to me to see it applied to clothing sizing. It makes sense because it's a measurement problem. One thing they don't get into really…
The CPU-GPU analogy is very good for all sorts of reasons. For some things there's no speedup, for some important things there's a huge speedup, for other things there's some significant speedup, but not game-changing.…
I think there's some information-theoretic ideas about compressibility or codelength that are relevant. The appeal, I think, is in being able to succinctly represent a random or irrational mathematical object with some…
The problem is the frame of reference of "subjective." For example, few would question whether or not coat color on cats is an explainable phenomenon, although it varies. So, why isn't qualia similar? Subjective…
Part of the problem is that this regulation works from the other side too, but doesn't get as much attention. Optometrists have been trying to expand their practice into other areas in ways that seem reasonable to me,…
This has always seemed to me to be the elephant in the room to me. I brought this up with some ethereum devs at one point in a forum a year or two ago, and they addressed the questions pretty openly and graciously, but…
So... I got an undergrad degree in psychology, but then went on to a doctoral program and got a PhD. I'm not actually disputing your suggestion that a lot of students obtain the degree as a placeholder--it's a…
