Double check the link. The study clearly looked at resumes.

Nothing in this has any bias in it? Which words are you suggesting are biased? This study measured constructed resumes where only names were changed, and observed the rate each group was favored (the percentage of resumes that passed). One

You are reading a paper without understanding the language of the paper. Adverse Impact has a specific meaning, and in this case it's specifically meaning that Black candidates were selected only four fifths as often as white candidate

Name. Other factors were controlled.

Please read the study or at least the comments here before jumping to the conclusion. Yes, they used constructed resumes, so the qualifications were exactly the same. And no, literally no one is suggesting this proves racial discrimination.

You are misreading this sentence. This sentence is saying: "Using a constructed dataset of resumes, whose only difference was a name change, we would anticipate a system evaluating on qualifications to produce an equal distribution of

Yes. You missed it. They are using a test dataset of 83k resumes generated in 2022 for this paper and comparing it as a baseline against their observational data: https://www.nber.org/papers/w29053 The dataset is const

It's not used to measure discrimination. It's used to identify outcomes that appear to be potentially discriminatory. You have to do the legwork afterwards. Like. If I am evaluating a developer on lines of code written, I am a bad

Importantly, the rule is not used to resolve racial discrimination claims. It's purely meant as the first test to evaluate whether a deeper dive is warranted. Fast, first pass data analysis tools are very useful for spotting unintended

Have you googled this? The EEOC is a federal agency, and they've published on this topic quite extensively. The four fifths rule is used to define if there is a "substantially different selection rate". It does not measure ra

Communism is not "when the government does stuff", and "the more the government does, the more communist it is".

I think it's plausible China and US invert in that calculus over the next 30 years. The median US person (anecdotally) feels to me like they are getting worse and worse stakes. $45k a year is not a lot these days. Chinese are investing

Anarchism exists within socialism too-- the anti Francoist anarchists in Spain who were crushed by Soviets for doing the wrong kind of socialism, for example. Kropotkin's approach and anarcho syndacalism is anti-statist, and also anti-

I ... actually agree with this. But I think we gotta deliberately select who that applies to. Is it everyone at Meta? Like, are we all culpable for our employers sins? Or are we all squeezed by a system where we gotta work to eat and the

I think you can look at different lenses of success. Vietnam successfully defeated a much, much more powerful imperial force. They have fewer freedoms, and are still recovering from the generational damage dealt to them, and they are hardly

I'll argue -- socialist is not the same as communist. Norway is not a communist country (despite arguably being a socialist one).

Workers are workers. We have so much more in common with one another than we do with the capital class. Turning against a worker because they are doing better than another worker is giving in the divide and rule. Historically, this is exact

This is the end goal of one form of communism, but certainly not the end goal of communism. Many communists want a strong state and see a single party as desirable.

What is your rubric for successful? And does it shift if that state was the target of wars of aggression or embargoes?

People can't afford to live and food comes before paying your landlord? Economy is fucked right now. Income inequality pushes any gains into the hands of the wealthy. And frankly, more and more people are willing to stuff their landlor

Which assets? The textures, models, and animations are Creative Commons (various flavors, mostly non commercial). If the code is open source, one can always build a client that works with the Creative Commons assets or community contributed

Yes they absolutely can? Anyone can. I can. The thing the GPL requires is that I also provide it for free. Now, why would anyone buy a free thing? To support the devs. To encourage this sort of business model. To get a build that's kno

This is nonsense. You absolutely can have both -- typically by building systems to eliminate poverty and reduce income inequality.

This article definitely doesn't account for those of us who are neurodiverse. My airpods buy me precious energy I can spend in social circles that I would otherwise not have. Force me out of them on a train or bus, expect me to be asoc

If you think these tools are remotely comparable, you haven't been paying attention.

I don't think you understand the concern. Or at least nothing you've communicated suggests you understand it. ChatGPT should never produce images like this. Full stop. Prompted or not, it should refuse. Now we know it's possi

Anyone trying to find legitimacy in the ban of this model, or incredulousness at the stated reasoning is playing into the admins hands. They want the argument to be over "is it unsafe" or "is it incompetence". In either
