Every single CS baccalaureate degree from the University of Illinois has required from at least 2005[1] a mandatory engineering ethics course (CS 210). Note that the UofI has always been in the top ten nationally for CS; its 2020 rank is #6

It's unsurprising that Advil (Ibuprofen), an anti-inflammatory painkiller, would work better for pain than Valium (Diazepam), an anti-anxiety medication with no pain relieving properties of any kind, and certainly not an opiate. Perhap

That is indeed exactly the underpinning of the technique, not that you can tell from the wiki article.

Such compliance may protect Danbooru itself from some specific causes of action, particularly if Danbooru is able to convince the court that they were truly innocuous middlemen and that the site itself was not designed from the ground up to

Yes, it is. The fact that other datasets are also massively infringing is evidence of a severe problem for the field, not an exoneration.

Obviously the question of whether an ML model is adequately transformative is an unanswered one, at least as far as I'm aware, in any jurisdiction. However, in this specific case, I would expect most courts to place heavy weight on the

The dataset this is built from ( https://www.gwern.net/Danbooru2018 ) is, simply put, copyright-infringing on a gross scale. The vast majority of the images uploaded to 'boorus' completely lack a compatible license

No, I mean effect, i.e. causation. In this case* the direction of the correlation is 100% knowable: economic and education outcomes in the 1990s cannot possibly have altered whether or not you had a male twin in the 1970s, unless you can re

Previous research has shown females with a male twin to be more proficient at mental 3d-spatial tasks. As that paper explains in its introduction, this is "probably the most robust cognitive sex difference", emphasis mine, which

Marriage rate differences have already been shown to be correlated with hormone levels.[1][2] Measuring whether such a difference exists for the level of exposure in-utero simply by having a male twin is interesting. If anything, the natura

Why do you suggest fields other than anthropology or economics should be the qualification for analyzing population-level economic effects? Are you aware that the vast majority of scientific research is done by PhDs, not MDs? And that both

Sure. P-value is the universal* way of expressing statistical likelihood. It corresponds to a percentage: p=.05 just means 5%, and p=.001 means 0.1%, etc. It's often inaccurately explained as the likelihood of getting our results throu

Sort of. It compares female-female to male-female twin pairs in analyzing subsequent maternal fertility, to ensure the relevance of the deceased co-twin approach. Search for 'Table S5' in the paper and the appendix.

Critically, however, freemartins are a form of microchimerism. They literally have cells with Y chromosomes in their bodies, received from the male twin through the shared chorion. You're correct that there is a shared mechanism - they
