Sure, but that's the point. Paraphrasing brodo's reply, anyone who says outcomes here are all culture or all nature is full of it. However, we've swung all the way to the other end where to imply that nature might play a role

Could you define bias against obesity and elderly here? If I were to categorize the elderly as generally less capable than say, a man in his 40s, I would also generally be right. Age comes with it's demerits, and recognizing this would

Not everything needs to be structured in oppressor-victim dynamics so you can slap a label on it. That's like calling the male-only draft externalized misandry.

The crux of the argument is still there, and the point is still clear. This just feels a bit nitpicky to me.

It shouldn't be controversial at all. There are sex differences. A good chunk of those differences are the effect of hormonal differences that stem from sexual dimorphism that in turn likely stem from some other evolutionary selection

Of course not. He would have been the offender.

There were also women that were nonchalant, or even the large female anti-suffrage movements as well. Suffrage was seen by some (yes, women) as a threat to the family structure, amongst other reasons for oppision. Framing this as "prej

I'm actually quite surprised that they didn't collapse the synonyms though. Though value judgements should not be removed. They should have been separated and placed together with some tagger metadata as they might actually be inf

Great, I can see some of this being useless (some parts of the unsafe dataset), but if they cull the "sensitive" portion, this may induce performance regressions. I need to find an ImageNet archive now.

So, it depends on what you want to do here. If the task is just "predict if the person is a software engineer". I'd say go ahead, bias it away. Here, anything that boosts accuracy is game to me. But if the task is say the pre

You'd probably get a better result by adding in the base culture/race/whatever other cultural identifier of the tagger for these subjective tags. The definition of beauty varies across culture, and while it varies from person

That is most definitely not racist though. Once we go there, we're basically trying to force ourselves to take a worldview that does not accurately represent reality. If my classifier predicts that an Asian guy would probably eat rice,

So, I disagree with the "inherently racist" portion of your argument. You can evaluate the classifiers in a race independent manner, i.e. take a look at the metrics stratified across race. I'm going to proceed here assuming t

I'd think single source vs fleet of disparate services is a bigger concern. If I have to track and maintain 10 subscription services to get the stuff I want, I'd rather just pirate it, the inconvenience factor is too high otherwis

Would you think the same of those opposing hearing aids for children though.

by esyir 7y ago
Because your predecessors worked to build that for you and their fellow people. Why do you think parents pay for their children's education. Why do you think many don't just provide the minimum, but instead go beyond that? You did

Jesus, that's my definition of oversensitivity. Literally everything, no matter how minor or insignificant gets turned into "this is driving women out of the industry".

You're probably right on the multigenic origin of homosexuality. One theory goes around that it exists because of some relationship to other、 evolutionarily beneficial factors. Twin studies also imply the possibility of epigenetic impa

Vegetarians are fine, but vegans are at particular risk. I assume that's why op mentioned them to begin with.

The texture is nifty, the taste is whatever soup it's in. Its the kind of food with no taste of its own, but it speaks up whatever it touches.

R is a fantastic statistical toolkit and a terrible programming language. Building software in it? Massive pain in the ass. Processing tabular datasets on the other hand is an absolute breeze that leaves pandas in the dust. Tidy verse makes
