If a significant portion of the population has a market value lower than the cost for them to have a reasonable quality of life isn't that some kind of fundamental failure condition for society/humanity?
Is there a more rigorous explanation of why they count the probability space how they do? Watching that video I feel like the ordering of the kids and the striking of one of the "b2b2" entries seems wrong to me. If we…
The worry is that the training data has been affected by human bias, so that bias will bleed over into the ai.

The article seems to address that in the second chart. When a woman publishes with only women they get the 9% bump they're supposed to. When they publish with a mixed-gender group they get only 4%, and when they publish…

I'm wondering if it's possible to turn this problem into a solution. I don't know the numbers, so I'm probably off by orders of magnitude, and maybe it's a losing energy proposition, but: One of the biggest harms of…
Disallowing BART on the peninsula and requiring a transfer to the overpriced Caltrain has been extremely effective at gentrifying and providing de facto segregation on the peninsula. The people in San Mateo and Santa…
In general, if you seek help you will only be punished. My sister sought help for a sleeping disorder, and received nothing but a suspension of her driver's license. She then had to overcome her medical difficulties on…
