Looking at figure 2 in the paper you were mentioning helped me a lot in understanding his thought process.

Correct me if I misunderstood you, but essentially you are saying that the achievement of this paper is a step up in the hierarchy of the concepts of learning. This step has been made before in theory. Now, it seems not very surprising to m

I never argued that quotas are great solution. But, I think once you realize that a solution to a problem is bad you should look for a different solution instead of declaring that there is no problem, which seems to be the easy way out.

by edna314 9y ago
That would be indeed a problem in that special case, but I never argued that these quotas are a great idea in general. I just wanted to point out that the article dismisses gender equality as a bad idea with a equality of chance argument, w

Thanks for the effort! I think it's a bit clearer now where the differences lie. For example the assumption avg(randM()) != avg(randF()), which should more precisely be avg(randM()) >> avg(randF()) to justify stemJob(randM()) &gt

I would disagree. "Difference of affinity" is in my opinion one of the main factors. The real question is where does this difference come from and my best answer to that question would be nudging. And this nudging is exactly addre

by edna314 9y ago
I don't get it. Why is equality of outcome not a desirable goal, especially in science and technology? These authors only try to disprove theories which potentially explain the inequality and then conclude that there is no injustice. T

Suppose there would be a test which gives an objective measure of consciousness. Now I store all possible inputs to the test and corresponding outputs which would lead to a positive test result in a huge table. To exaggerate I would carve t

Certainly a matter of taste. I'd recommend "Modern Quantum Mechanics" from Sakurai.
