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 differe…

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 t…

Is this some variant of nerd bullying?

Comment #18204740
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 obs…

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'. Achievi…

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 ident…

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. Yo…

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 o…
