You're wildly mischaracterizing what I said. I didn't suggest "people can't handle my truth". I suggested the article we are discussing says there are certain truths that ML system…

The example the parent poster described is "doctors are 66% male", which could very well be true.

The parent's point is that they may not be absorbing stereotypes from humans at all. They may be generating accurate beliefs about the world from text representations of the world.…

Positively right is a statement about beliefs. Normatively right is a statement about actions. It's my belief that if you want an ML system to take normatively right actions , you …

See Fig 1 and 2.

The paper has them: - An AI correctly infers (simply by reading text) that a physicist is male and a nurse is female. - An AI correctly infers the gender of humans with androgyonou…

The usual definition of bias in ML papers is E[theta_estimator - theta]. That is explicitly a systematically wrong prediction. In any case, the paper suggests that this "bias" or "…

Do you have any evidence that this effect results in machines making systematically wrong inferences? Near as I can tell, your paper shows that these "biases" result in significant…

Similarly, flat earthism is an orthodox theory since it was orthodox at one point and is not completely dead.

I agree that in some historical time, some of Murray's views might be considered orthodox. That doesn't make them orthodox today - nowadays he's subversive.

Charles Murray wasn't discussing human biodiversity at all. His talk was on an entirely different topic. No one argued against him at all. They merely disrupted his talk and then a…

This article is a little odd. It describes conservatives as being worried that professors are "subversive", but it's exactly the opposite - conservatives worry that colleges are en…

Perhaps you'd prefer to be regulated by the whims of a corporation & their pursuit of profit extraction rather than the democratic legitimacy of government, but thankfully, most of…

Of course there's a difference. In a taxi you can rip off a firangi or fail to pick up a black passenger at your leisure. With Uber, this will cause your ratings to drop below 4.3,…

That's a lot of nice sounding platitudes, but it doesn't really tell me anything concrete beyond "TeMPOraL dislikes Uber".

How are they a worse taxi mafia? They provide more convenient service with fewer ripoffs and far less racism at lower prices. As a consumer, what exactly should I be angry about?

The comment two levels above said that Uber reduces my daily dose of racism to levels far lower than "daily". The comment one level up says that the study your clickbait article ci…

Yes, a small amount of racism that I don't even notice is far more acceptable than a large amount which inconveniences me daily. Racism isn't like homeopathy, where any quantity at…

Read the study cured by the Atlantic. Uber is vastly less racist than traditional taxis.

Read the actual study cited by that clickbait article. Racism at Uber is vastly smaller than racism via traditional taxis.

No, they didn't play us. They did exactly what they promised. Thanks to Uber, I don't get racially discriminated against on a daily basis. Before Uber I did. Some folks may hate th…

Similarly, I feel that a car shouldn't drive too fast. If it does drive too fast then a human running after it might be unable to catch up!

Apart from the boilerplate enclosing class (4 lines, vs 2 in C), you can write a C-style program without classes in Java. There is literally nothing stopping you and generics are h…

It could be. In that case, was Rosa Parks also immoral? If not, why not?

Could you illustrate what you mean by "bloated syntax"? Everything else you mention (besides native executables) Java also has. From what I can see, Java provides far better concur…
