"Machine learning" used to be a safe haven. You could flee there to escape the Terminators and brain-on-a-chip graphics. Business PR deliberately killed that. They wanted their ML algorithms to be refered to as AI, so…

This seems contradictory: > AI can't predict social outcomes > In most cases, manual scoring rules are just as accurate So manual scoring rules don't work either for predicting social outcomes? There is some magic sauce…
The US economy (to which RenTech contributes with profits made on foreign markets) is a national security interest. Working to be very rich and then donating a large chunk of money to promote science - and maths…
We all know of market manipulation, like the story of the high school kid spamming stocks to Yahoo message boards [1], but what of competitor, - industry - or country manipulation? You find out that your competitor is…
Strange that I think that a sarcastic reply that goes a bit further in moral punishment would be indistinguishable from a real reply these days. Mercer was practically forced to resign due to the backlash that his…
So, assuming nothing against the law, how would they do it legitly? I am guessing: - Treat the markets as a complex dynamical system and use the tools from statistical physics such as the Gibbs Ensemble, to derive…
The one who ordered the drone strike is responsible (but hardly held responsible). Easy to draw the parallel with ordering the deployment of anti-personel landmines: the one who ordered deployment is responsible (but…
Television incentivizes forgetable reality TV, the radio incentivizes meaningless poppy music, social media incentivizes bickering about the controversies of today. But, nowadays, you can also use your TV to watch a…
In the Netherlands there is the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre). They also scan the internet: It continuously monitors all (potentially) suspect sources on the internet. When it identifies a threat (such as a…

You seem to be under the assumption that rebalancing is always bad or ignorant. That techniques, such as SMOTE, are only used to produce better-looking results and pull the wool over someones eyes. This is simply not…
No. This is what the Wikipedia page says for measuring sexual response in pedosexuals: > In one study, 21% of the subjects were excluded for various reasons, including "the subject's erotic age-preference was uncertain…
Thanks! That article has a lot of critique and I also like that the author collected the responses from one of the authors. But, to me, most of the critiques seem uninformed (not made by ML practicioners) and focus on…
Many statistical assumptions are regurarly broken, for pragmatic reasons (it just works better), or because the world is not static (and so the IID assumption is broken). There is an entire subfield of learning on…
Rebalancing an imbalanced dataset is common in industry and academicia. You use that when you focus on accuracy, to make claims like: We were 54% accurate on classifying sexuality of females easily interpretable,…
No the sources are from CIA and FBI agents trained in interrogation and spotting lies (and wanting to sell their books, like researchers want their research read). One of the agents used these signs to know that Timothy…
There has been no peer-reviewed paper calling in question the gaydar paper. There has been a master student who tried to replicate the study with his own crawled dataset, and got better than human guessing, but slightly…
No. (and I feel there is no justification for downvoting requested sources).
Rehabilitation in society: most people do not want convicted pedosexuals who show no signs of betterment to be around children, just like most people do not want murderers released when they say to the prison doctor…

The fruit machine was reincarnated for pedosexuals: a device attached to their genitals measures if they get sexual arousal from pictures of children. Those that do are not deemed ready for rehabilitation. Where most…
If we are going to destroy the lives of men for being creepy and having socially awkward game, do we also get a pass for undesired female behavior, such as cuntiness and sleeping around? RMS could have the most pleasing…
Absence of evidence is no evidence of absence. You could put the Bayesian prior to be extremely low, but a zero chance would not make you a Bayesian anymore, it would make you a believer in that something is simply not…
Like said by the other poster, long-term priming is not proven nor disproven: Science needs better and more experiments. So we don't yet scientifically know enough about long-term priming to make a judgment on its…
