The account eventually gains some level of recognition - while you have vocal haters, you also have people that upvote their content (likely based on the username) to the frontpage. Most of what gallowboob posts is garbage and I guarantee

Everything is mostly true except truth about truth.

We change as we interact. This is just as easily explainable through a perceptive bias - the difference between experiencing and having experienced.

It's hard to say which layer you are working with without having to know the whole model. You can always look at data as initial to what is computed, but 1. That's not much different than looking at the code and 2. Everything that

Evidence is better than common sense.

Thank you, that means a lot.

> What I find interesting in your last paragraph is that you, yourself, seem to make the distinction between reality and mathematics, which would indicate, at least to me, that you recognise that it is but a tool created for a use and no

I don't know if you can concretely say that mathematics is invented. Where does it come from? You observe reality, but what if reality is math? You can't say it exists outside of the realm of possibility that some people have a ba

Is this some variant of nerd bullying?

If math is invented, math is the union of thought, in relation to an objective measurement of reality, because the language expresses consistent and testable truths that can be observed and measured. If math is discovered, math is the reali

That's somewhat appropriate, but, I think having higher standards for identifying discriminatory practices is covered under the umbrella of 'if people would just let them'. Achieving that level of a standard is a balance. The

I don't believe in unconscious thought, but if unconscious thought were real, it would be obvious that the only people who can be aware of it's effects are the people who can identify a difference between those two states of being

Truth over the belief of who is actually 'the best fit' for a job doesn't exist until the job is complete. This isn't about oppression. It's about discrimination magically becoming automated because no one bothers t

Please read the article. This article is about automated reasoning that discards resumes that are strongly correlated to resumes of women.

Sure. It just sounds like their code and it's results got too complicated to reason about.

Yes, I am female, I am aware of the statistics. It's frustrating because my life literally gets impacted by automated reasoning such as this. It's not frustrating for anyone who says 'there just aren't enough of you&#x27

That's always the excuse but an algorithm that shows bias against women has nothing to do with who has what interest unless that's a variable included in the data set initially. You are inferring that relation implicitly due to th

Buried, yes, I'm sure. This should be obvious when testing. Whether the algorithm discriminates should be a top priority for designing these algorithms. That's half the damn math of machine learning. If you can construct an AI, yo

I hate this industry. Shooting themselves in the foot over and over again because no one can get passed the idea that possibly, women can be just as good at math, logic and computer science - if people would just let them. This never ends.
