Exactly. If your fire-control system is trained on a dataset that (through carelessness or malice) has some bias, you could end up with a racist machine gun turret.
Dang, if only every laptop I've had die didn't tend to go screen-first.
Agreed. But at the same time, a key part of normalization is constant exposure; people who are exposed to extreme views incessantly are less likely to recognize them as "extreme" than those who only see them once in a…
The lack of transparency is really unfortunate. It makes this whole thread sorta ironic: there's a lot of hate in this thread (deserved or not) directed at larger social media sites, but at least those ones aren't both…
You could make that case, but I do think that they ceased to be "ideals to work toward" before people started recognizing them as such. I.E. it was only after "colorblindness" advocates started using the term to shut…
Oh, gotcha; I just meant in the general case.
My understanding is that push/pop from the front/back of linked lists are constant time, but that inserts in the middle necessitate looping through the linked list until you get to the correct index, which is a O(n)…
"Individualism" was never really implemented as "western" value; it was only ever a catch-phrase to defend the status quo by insisting those at the top "earned the right" to be there. "Color blindness" likewise has…
> Daniel Shaver's death is not argument against BLM's goals, it's an argument in favor of them. Exactly. I've seen far more outrage about the death of a white man from those who say black lives matter than from those…
> They wanted to _clarify_ it with the true fundamental principle. I don't think that's an honest portrayal of the actual actions that took place or their motivations. In the context of disproportionate black deaths,…
Agree 100%. I essentially started going down the "Qanon" rabbit hole a few years before "Q" existed (the tropes have existed in right-wing circles for longer than the specific conspiracy theory has); part of my…
You could, but you could also argue that law enforcement and the military attract people with very black-and-white views of morality and society; people who who already unconditionally consider themselves and those like…
Depending on how you're cutting it, you could also call it 1/1000000000000 of the way there.
As an American, I have no idea. I actually don't think I've ever seen a recipe that didn't have explicit tea/tablespoons before, that's really weird.
So, while this looks like it's more about breaking up the human-visible color spectrum into more discrete parts than RGB, and not stretching it out into infrared/ultraviolet. Still very cool (especially since even…
True, but which is more likely to get your click: a headline you're indifferent to, or a headline that fills you with righteous indignation? I think that if there's one thing that the development of social media has…
Speaking as a (now-ex) mormon, this is a very flattering characterization that unfortunately skips over a couple important points. For one, mormonism is a very conservative religion. From blacks voting to gays marrying,…
I was about to say the same thing. For lack of pictures, it's hard to get a sense for whether they would turn out well, except in the trivially simple cases like "put some chicken and veggies in a slow cooker for 8…
