Yet even without definitions you are typing words and I am reading them and we're having a conversation here, so let's not go pretend-meta here. The right level of offensive is the level that, given all viewpoints, does the most t

by mtrimpe 13y ago
Wait; did you just define calling out a needlessly offensive name as evil? You do realise that would sort of be making the exact point I was trying to make, right? Or am I missing some seriously self-deprecating joke here?

by mtrimpe 13y ago
From the Wikipedia link in your profile I see you invented Google's "Don't Be Evil' motto. At least now I finally understand how they manage to still hold on to that. As long as you redefine evil to exclude things you do

Wasn't implying anything ... just making sure you did the test correctly. And I think you were reading too much into the random placement. The test just picks a number of words for each category at random and then determines whether it

You're shitting us right? Manpages referred to man uals , not men . But given that I'm obviously swimming against the tide here at HN I'll just cave ..... Word, brah! Like, totally right on! We should be making like 'si

My comment referred to the typical Markov chain type word prediction, which is the mechanism behind the 'sentence context' you referred to in those custom IMEs. What I described is basically taking that mechanism and baking it int

Not be flippant or anything; but one of the most visceral reactions I get is when someone tells me something is massively complex only because it's something nobody has cared enough about to really look into it. I have a near 50/

And the fix is so simple: just detect when something you're typing makes (some degree) more sense in another one of your frequently used languages and then switch over. Even just training the markov chain on two language corpuses simul

Do you agree with the following definitions commonly used when discussing gender issues? Sex: Assigned biological category -- male or female: designated at birth by visual assessment of anatomy based upon presumption of reproductive role. S

The IAT is the bread-and-butter technique for determining implicit associations and are probably the best technique we have for assessing personal bias. When you try it out for a topic where you do have a strong association you'll ac

Thank you.

As I suspected we're mostly on the same page then with the main difference being (if I'm correct) that I interpreted radical feminists as the subset of feminists who hold radical beliefs rather than referring to a specific 'r

Not at all. The world could just use more people like you then! ;) I personally got a 'weak correlation between Male and Science and Female and Liberal Arts' even though I care deeply about gender issues.

I simply shared two wikipedia articles on the topic to refer to a somewhat impartial source and added an article which illustrated the existence of a transphobic fringe within the feminist community. I didn't intend to make any stateme

Would you be willing to do me a favor and take the implicit association test on gender at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit and post back the results? I really think that it's the best answer I can give to someone
438.
by mtrimpe 13y ago
You probably are a naive idealist; there's nothing wrong with that. If you want to get rid of that give the IAT on gender a try at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit I'm willing to bet that just the experience

I'm not sure whether your first sentence is meant as snide, but given the quality of your posts on gender issues in general I'll assume you're just taking the opportunity to elucidate the logic behind both viewpoints. I do ha

In the end it boils down to the problem that it's very hard to explain the mechanics of culture to people who have little to gain from changing it. When you've pulled the short straw in your culture, whether it's due to race,

The key part there is 'gender-dysphoric' which basically my identity lies somewhere in the middle between male and female. That basically means that while I don't feel like I'm in the wrong body, I do prefer (to some deg

Just 'Feminist and transphobic' somehow seemed wrong language-wise. That might just be because English is not my native language though, so I've edited the comment.

I'm pretty sure there's room for that as well. Perhaps Jessica could even use this as a spring-board to putting together an all-women line-up for a future event.

I agree that it's largely to stir the pot in this case, but as a gender-dysphoric bisexual male I am curious where the line would be drawn. I'm fairly sure Jessica will just apply common sense though and would put me somewhere bel

Feminists fighting against trans women is a fairly well known phenomenon. Feminist and transphobic are hardly mutually exclusive worldviews. Edit: dug up a few pointer links: http://www.transadvocate.com/unpacking-transphobi

And then you could annotate each website with a tag about what topic it is to help with search. Then you could maybe even organize them into publicly based on those tags. You would need a hierarchy of tags then though but that would give yo

By the way; this isn't snark towards Russia but snark against the notion that the threat of violence doesn't play a significant part in the distribution of wealth anymore.

And that will be exactly what we end up getting back in the end; single page applications that treat a click as functionally equivalent to following a link.
