Quoting the paper, an example of this "terrible" implicit bias is associating men with programming and women with house keeping. What exactly does an AI that's free from biases look like? Will it presume for instance, that al

So you think that there are a lot of honest media channels that never ran propaganda pieces, not even once!

by hasenj 9y ago
The channel run by two black guys? Because that totally validates the propaganda? Did you read the top comment in this thread?
154.
by hasenj 9y ago
How about the whole "Russia made Trump win the election" narrative itself? Sounds like propaganda to me.

If the US was doing the same thing on a global scale, how would we know? We'd probably be entirely under its influence. We would see certain falsehoods as self-evident facts, because every source we try to read or research, more or les

So, Russia influenced the election by having two black men run a YouTube channel?

This is great! I'm really impressed by the technical achievement, and hope everyone takes lessons from it to put performance and FPS at the forefront of their concerns when developing applications. Sadly, seeing the state of the indust

Like they don't care about community. Like they don't care about the law. Making loud noises. Dressing strange but flashy. I don't know. Are you going to pretend like there are no way for people to act suspicious now?

by hasenj 9y ago
I did not mean to imply that only black people act shady. BUT, if someone who looks very suspicious based on their appearance and behaviour (mannerisms, language, choices of clothes, tattoos, etc) it's normal and dare I say _healthy_ f

Well, to counter your point, HN rules are not about what everyone wants to see. It's about the desire to maintain a certain quality to the discussion.

The other day there was a post recommending the use of JavaFX. I would really like to see a non-trivial app built on JavaFX in Kotlin, with the following properties: - Does not look ugly. - Is not composed of _merely_ OEM widgets. But inclu

I like the physical source manifesto much better. Which actually addresses the _actual_ problem with monetizing open source: that people can just copy your project and send it to someone else. https://daplie.com/articles&#x2

The presentation was probably made by business-minded people who are just good at talking and trying to sound impressive.

You're thinking about branch names. The branch itself (anonymous branch?) is part of git because the commit history is a tree with branches.

Wait, what exactly _is_ keybase? The home page says: > Keybase is a new and free security app for mobile phones and computers. ok, so, what does it do? > For the geeks among us: it's open source and powered by public-key cryptogr

did you delete the unencrypted repo from github? actually even if you did, a version of it might still be lurking in some corner. Maybe time to create a new set of private keys?

PG actually has a talk where he does advice young people that maybe starting a startup may not a good idea, at least not for everyone, because it's all consuming.

You are missing the point. HN is so simple that introducing such defects in the name of some theoretical abstract benefit shows a lack of care about the user experience and the product. I see this attitude all the time and I find it unprofe

Clicking on comments results in a weird flicker effect where the page appears empty for a split second before being filled with content. Also, the comment collapse button doesn't seem to work. Is there really any benefit to implement H

Yea I find this "successful" branching model in OP to be a huge pain. It does sound nice in theory but it's annoying in practice and honestly I see absolutely no benefit in adopting it.

You can definitely do that. You just have to pay them 20x more money and give them 50x more time and give them absolutely all the tools they need. Best possible hardware. Best possible software. Fastest possible internet connections. etc. S

The same thing can be said about spam. It could be good to be able to send useful information to users right to their inbox while avoiding being detected as "spam". In reality it's mostly just dark pattern marketing.

I think using AI to make clickbaity titles is still sigh-worthy.
