FWIW My understanding is that (non-educational, etc) sexual content tends to have a much higher chargeback / dispute / resolution cost. It's always about the dollars and cents I guess.

All your examples are characteristics, not preferences. The model gets the data 'there aren't many women in STEM (end of pipeline)' so it doesn't allocate resources to girls who are interested at the start of the pipeli

I think it comes down to people wanting AI to do what we say ought to happen, rather than what we actually do. I wish the solution was to fix what we actually do, rather than have to rejigger the data, but here we are.

Nice! I had seen quotes from this, but didn't know where it came from originally. > It may be worth stressing, however, that even if one has an extremely strong intellectual commitment to truthseeking and public education, one can s

Ha, if you're that sure I doubt I could dissuade you. You might try the millions of other people out there cleverer than me who are willing to it give it go. But ask yourself, if you're that sure, what's your evidence? I &#x2

I think you're confusing the sign for the signified. Is there any speech you'd consider more dangerous than limiting freedom of speech on the web?

Sure, but this is political and will probably exceed the HN mandate. There's literally nothing we can do to stop these disgusting examples of humanity. Rational discourse is predicated on the idea that your opponent isn't purposef

I think the Russians didn't accept the registration last I saw. If you're wanting to see what people are defending, it's all in the Internet Archive. Sunlight is the best disinfectant for roaches, but these are guys are cunn

This is fundamentally untrue, but the nice knife twist against gender studies was a nice bit of rhetoric.

You could make just as a valid (and philosophers like Popper have) that allowing unfettered free speech has also led every society that tried it down the road to dictatorship. Dictatorship is one of the easy to find local minima of human or

If there's one thing this year has established, it's that we're all centrists, from the "create a white ethnostate" to "blackbloc anarchy forever" people. Not that you could ever take people at their word

So would you say that Damore is creating a victim identity for himself, or that he is an actual victim? I can't imagine that you'd say "this company victimizes people for thoughts like mine," in front of the company, and

Hey! I'm not doing much better and I'm very sensitive about it.

Who's tradition are you using for that society argument? It sounds like a facile reading of Mills, without ever going to the back half where he talks about valid reasons for a society to put pressure on an individual, but I've bee

I had the opposite experience. I'm basically as non-math as you can get and still be in the sciences, and I found the classes quite intelligible (on a fast watch without the notebook, and then a slow watch with the notebook for each cl

Post ACA I'm able to get my wife insured (congenital heart issue fixed forever at 14, still used to deny her coverage at 27), and my premiums dropped. We're rather firmly middle class, pretty sure I didn't qualify for any hea

It's a great idea from a game theory perspective, but I think an adversarial neural network plugin built into vlc as a preencoding step would probably defeat it pretty quickly with minimal quality loss. You just can't effectively

I had a hospital decide to restart the entire billing process on me after it was all paid for. Only time I've ever been glad for the insurance company (car, not health). I dropped it in their lap, and 3 mo later got an "our mistak

As someone who got as far as diffeq in college math, and is working his way through fast.ai right now, the impression I get is of a field that's at the start of formalization. It's like they've got the basic operations like a

Which one party? I don't mean that factiously. The fact that the percentage is so similar tells me it's more a human effect than a particular belief system effect, and so the mechanisms that worked in the past to fight it will con

Basically all colleges and populations in the US have a strong subset of anti-free speech feeling, with an equal amount between conservatives and liberals on campus: https://kf-site-production.s3.amazonaws.com/publications&#

Obviously this is political and so shouldn't be hitting HN, but I'll swing at this pitch. "Violence" is always somehow brought into the mix by conservatives. The whole Berkeley-is-against-free-speech talking point falls

Coming from academia, one thing I've found is that if a man spends his life studying bees, he starts seeing secret "queens" in his own society. Like a lot of transposed cultural anthropology, this seems like a moral "jus
