Authoritarianism is bad, but it is bad in much worse ways than racism. Most cultures, let's face it, has some racism. Even the most divine society, would be racist against an alien race. It just doesn't show its ugly face, most of

Opinions from Twitter and mailinglists are not "news". Please let people have their opinions, so don't try to overexpose them!

It's just idealism, but no ideology suits everyone and for every context. People forget this.

For an entire OS, this doesn't make sense. It does make sense for business critical software. We did this 20 years ago, even calling the subdir VENDOR, for some 3rd party components. It's part of design, and even support of your s

Distros are great for off-the-shelf software especially if you don't care which version you get too much. When versions matter, you quickly get into dependency-hell. So long-lived software tend to stabilize, and then remain unchanged.

Somehow the feed didn't scroll up as far as it did now. I see some other posts before those I saw first. But that just confirms it, it's better to totally ignore any drama on Twitter, which also news organisations need to learn. W

If it was easy to judge, within any institutions, bullying would've been solved long ago.

They are both engaging on Twitter, and I don't see any calling out. Unless you find a good quote, that is just discussing, as adults should. It may be bad choice on them both professionally, but you're singling out one..

They all do however, succeed in diverting attention thoroughly away from both AI, and ethics.. ML and AI are just calculations, always will be. You need sound, rational arguments and evidences, to get the breakthroughs.

This tweet, what's wrong about it? Timnit Gebru Jul 2, 2020 Yep generally you did, thanks. But not about me, Deb and others being attacked by White supremacists, anonymous accounts etc. Clear support means taking a clear stand. And thi

I don't know. On the surface of it, it seems a very good opportunity to work in an area with lots of potential, but which also need lots of regulations. You get to ensure decisions by machines will improve lives and not be unintentiona

Agreed. We as human beings need to choose not to be manipulated through these very effective communications means. Outrage is just not good enough without constructiveness. Villifying everyone who disagrees with your "clan", is

The threat is against the others in the group, if they don't participate or try to intervene. The stressors however, are often coming from relationships with adults.

It speaks of failed group dynamics, which you get when you let kids loose on eachother. This is the responsibility of adults.

by loopz 6y ago
Actually, adults are much worse than the children. They just hide it in plain sight and through various psychopathic systems.
712.
by loopz 6y ago
What is even more true is that the children often pick up behaviour from adults, especially at home and in abuse relationships. So it doesn't matter how much propaganda about bullying is spewed forth in school, when the real raising of

Stress is probably higher risk. Notice your triggers and integrate stress reduction at that present time. It's sort of reprogramming your self. Not into NLP though.

It means exactly what it means. No more, no less. sig above got it, so it's not impossible to imagine. No need to be an expert, that shouldn't be necessary. Sorry if I used difficult words. The point is to think it through for you

The whole point is that biases are inherent in most models, no matter who the builders are.
