If simply requiring it filters out the kind of people that would abhor minorities coexisting with them, I think it's worth it to them.

Why are so many people saying "Asians and whites were discriminated against" and pointing to this case? The judges ruled that the program was unconstitutional and had to be changed, not that Harvard had been illegally discriminato

Since when did winning competitions require experience optimizing costs across various industries? I don't think anybody is doubting they're smart, just that they have no experience doing this kind of work and are now being truste

I don't think you're talking about the same thing. Part of the 2008 financial crisis was that lenders were giving loans out to anybody, and then even though information was available showing the low likelihood of paying back those

You mean like the entire post we're commenting on? All we have is the word of some student who is trying to frame themselves positively.

This is how I keep seeing the discussion going: 1: Honey is doing shady stuff with affiliate links 2: Affiliate links aren't shady, just the stuff they're doing with them 1: So honey is doing shady stuff with affiliate links

Just because they know how affiliate links work, would the wording on Honeys website not lead them to believe they're only being the "affiliate" if they find a deal? How would they have detected this without doing an investig

*Even if they know there is a coupon, but are hiding it from you because of a partner relationship with the store who hasn't published any coupons to their honey admin portal.

The two together results in honey essentially being paid instead of real affiliates to suppress coupon codes from you(since they advertise to stores that they direct users away from finding coupons, and towards a more stable discount percen

There's something inherently unsafe with replacing an industry-standard security tool with anything. I don't think it's inconvenient enough to type `ssh -i key_file name@host` that we need to be creating more security risk to

But you still understand it fine, no? Why does it matter how you feel about language evolving(especially bringing race into it)?

Yes, that's how every other industry that redistributes content works. You have to license content you want to use, you cant just use it for free because it's on the internet. Netflix doesn't just start hosting shows and hope

If we really want to be technical, in common law systems anything is legal as long as the highest court to challenge it decides it's legal. I guess I should have used the phrase "common sense stealing in any other context" to

I agree, just want to make sure "they can't stop doing illegal things or they wouldn't be a success" is said out loud instead of left to subtext.

Aren't you ignoring that common law is built on precedent? If they win this case, that makes it a lot easier for people who's copyright is being infringed on an individual level to get justice.

If you're going to retrain your model because of this ruling, wouldn't it make sense to remove all DMCA protected content from your training data instead of just the one you were most recently sued for(especially if it sets prec

By that logic isn't it "intellectually dishonest" to say "dowsing rods don't work" if the only evidence we have is examples of them not working?

It's kind of ridiculous to say that functions computable by turing computers are the only ones that can exist(and that trained llms are Turing computers). What evidence do you have for either of these, since I don't recall any pro

Not them, but copyright law is something everyone trying to distribute content should be aware of(especially if you want to redistribute content that you didn't generate). I'm not a lawyer, but from my understanding as long as you

Also the entire point the post makes is that these studies are flawed. Where is this person getting the idea that antidepressant companies are competing with placebos?
