Perhaps the use of "black art" rather than "technical challenge which only experts can tame" in the paper implies poetic intention on their own part?

My sense is that this may be the case, but I have trouble understanding it if the school's culture during his time was anything like it was during mine (that is, accepting of diversity not only in backgrounds, but also in aptitudes, wi

My previous (and admittedly cheeky) reply was flagged. I just want to still make it known that another, unrelated post purporting to display the names was removed, and how insultingly hypocritical the effort to keep them private is, when co

Sergey Brin attended my high school. I found out through Wikipedia, in college, in 2009. To my knowledge, he has never mentioned, visited, or donated to it, personally or through Google/Alphabet. We were not a rich private prep or anyt

>Predictions based on about 20000 different genes gave correlation 0.65, in the best paper I can find in 5 minutes. (Which was from 2017, a long time in this game.) This is for differences within a European-descended population. That&#x2

I imagine we'd do it like Australia did, where the cop/population and population/land ratios are presumably even worse.

IANAS, but from what I understand, it's more complicated than that. A parent's or grandparent's childhood health has been shown to affect the growth and health of their descendents. These effects only go away after several ge

Take their guns. Though I gather that might still be difficult, since so many Americans profess their intention to lay down their lives to protect their gun(ownership right)s. I'm sure you can understand why most observers are puzzled

This is more likely, especially when considering that women, like minorities, are likelier to be the first to be laid off as a recession gets underway, and the last to find full-time, full-skill employment after it ends.

Boarding is heaven compared to flying. No security theater, no ridiculous parking issues. I used to ride from Rhode Island to DC, and I could literally arrive 10 minutes before my departure time, grab my bags, lock my car, walk 100 feet to

This did not used to be the case. The mid-century expansion of the highway system coincided with massive disinvestment in the rail system, which had carried the country out of international backwater-dom. Many of this country's small a

It is very much so, especially in Western countries, where members of the black diaspora tend to be found and are able to express LGBT identity without fear of facing full and immediate ostracization (though violence is still a risk). If yo

There have actually been several cases of recognition and classification issues, and it is an ongoing problem.

This. Work is just like any other endeavor: the questions, "What are we doing?" and, "Why are we doing this?" need to be answered. The first informs the second in that people are generally willing to do truly meaningful

That raises the question of how many in the other side of that percentage (an overwhelmingly higher absolute number) had similar "merit" but not access as Bill Gates. Because, look, the reason we're talking about him is becau

IIRC the consensus is that a Harvard undergrad education is high-quality, but not exceptional. The experience (including the networking, and the access to people and opportunities it grants) is what drives people to its gates. If you want

I think anxiety is the key here. Everyone is capable of deliberate practice, but the degree to which one can sustain it for an extended, discrete session varies a lot by how the stress people feel from outside sources or from the process of

The developers, or the project managers, are the ones setting the parameters: the expected outputs and the processes necessary for that output to be generated. That they don't classify the images themselves doesn't take away from

That wasn't entirely my point, however. The training set was only a part of the problem, which in its totality was that the developers failed to consider that the functioning of their system could be affected by the biases they didn&#

I think a lot of people's passions are driven by a hole in their heart, that they hope their work will help fill somehow. I suspect that no small amount of the enthusiasm for XR is due to a deep and abiding desire to be someone else, s

I would like to see this for other fields. It seems as if few really understand how the other half lives, which is a general cause for confusion, and the unwarranted animosity that can arise from it, in society. You could also apply the pri

Well, in many cases, they are indeed learning something false (or, to be more charitable, something that is not sufficiently true). For example, a facial recognition system that has trouble detecting dark-skinned faces. Black and brown peop

The line between fit and overfit is arbitrary, though. What is happening is that the systems are revealing unconscious biases present in the more traditional systems the AI/ML are supposed to replicate, build upon, or speed up. If the
