Exactly. If your fire-control system is trained on a dataset that (through carelessness or malice) has some bias, you could end up with a racist machine gun turret.

Dang, if only every laptop I've had die didn't tend to go screen-first.

Agreed. But at the same time, a key part of normalization is constant exposure; people who are exposed to extreme views incessantly are less likely to recognize them as "extreme" t…

The lack of transparency is really unfortunate. It makes this whole thread sorta ironic: there's a lot of hate in this thread (deserved or not) directed at larger social media site…

You could make that case, but I do think that they ceased to be "ideals to work toward" before people started recognizing them as such. I.E. it was only after "colorblindness" advo…

Oh, gotcha; I just meant in the general case.

My understanding is that push/pop from the front/back of linked lists are constant time, but that inserts in the middle necessitate looping through the linked list until you get to…

"Individualism" was never really implemented as "western" value; it was only ever a catch-phrase to defend the status quo by insisting those at the top "earned the right" to be the…

Depending on how you're cutting it, you could also call it 1/1000000000000 of the way there.

As an American, I have no idea. I actually don't think I've ever seen a recipe that didn't have explicit tea/tablespoons before, that's really weird.

So, while this looks like it's more about breaking up the human-visible color spectrum into more discrete parts than RGB, and not stretching it out into infrared/ultraviolet. Still…

True, but which is more likely to get your click: a headline you're indifferent to, or a headline that fills you with righteous indignation? I think that if there's one thing that …

Speaking as a (now-ex) mormon, this is a very flattering characterization that unfortunately skips over a couple important points. For one, mormonism is a very conservative religio…

I was about to say the same thing. For lack of pictures, it's hard to get a sense for whether they would turn out well, except in the trivially simple cases like "put some chicken …
