Good point. Also learning about gender bias might also then translate to quicker understanding in terms of other biases, like biases the apu8812 is pointing out. People who tend to move towards a pr…

Experimented with SpaCy, didn't work too well, but will try nltk.

The biggest problem I have right now with this is "her". The 3rd person possessive and objective cases are identical for female ("her"), but different for male ("him" &#…

Actually, that was intentional just to be funny. There are indeed many words which can sometimes be names (some months, some town names, I even know a woman who's birth name was America). I let …

Great, and feel free to leave a comment if you do use it in some interesting way!

That's an interesting point. I wonder to what extent it is a zero-sum game in terms of people's attention and capacity to care about problems. I wonder if there were less attention on the …

That would be interesting to try to add word2vec. I wonder if I was successful, and the analogies are biased like you mention, then the book would be flipped but still feel "normal". So, &q…

I have thought about that. I will do if there's demand since I would really love for people to be actually using this and right now only developers can use it. Will require a bit of simple front …

Would love to hear more about why you call that nonsense. I think that's a great example though. I'm male, and I think a common misconception is that gender equality is only for the benefit…

Thanks, you should try reading one of the epub's, it's quite entertaining, and you some interesting assumptions that you may otherwise would have overlooked.

> History will remember “race blindness” with derision. Reminds of the "I Don't See Race" skit by CollegeHumor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qArvBdHkJA …

In one of the neurology labs I was in at UCLA, I saw the same exact thing: publishing tons of garbage and not doing real science. There were some professors of higher integrity, but the PIs that were…

Judging by the sidebar on the left with their last post in 2015, seems not.

Competition around benign science and technology, or say, sporting events is fine IMO. Competition around destructive or hateful things is bad. I'm OK with another space race, but not another nuc…

Scooters are litter? Are parked cars litter? What about when a restaurants put a chair or table outside on the sidewalk? Maybe a closer analogy is the other kind of electric scooter (as in the mopeds…

I wonder if there's some way to simulate the row by row image loading. I guess that's not the point of this website, but that would make me feel nostalgic.

From a selfish perspective, it might be better not to focus on maximizing your productivity. From a species-perspective, I'm glad for folks like Elon Musk, Richard Stallman, Einstein and basical…

The equivalent example would be: "I might as well hack this account and take all the money because if I don't, someone else will". I have no problem with: "I should inform the deve…

I disagree with your use of guilt by association with Black Mirror. There are both horrifying and also amazing technologies shown in that show. In terms of masking people in images, that would be the…

The age old justification of "if I don't do it, someone else will". You can justify many things with that. I happen to think this particular technology is cool and it's silly to be…

I suppose you could also read a website through Google Search previews by putting the last few words of the current preview.

And just to be overly clear, the quote does not generalize to: "If the FBI watches you for 500 days, you're going to get charged with money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United St…

Why was this downvoted?

It reminds me of when I interviewed at Google. At the end of one of my onsite interviews, while showing me out the door, the interviewer turned to me with a big smile and said "you really look li…

To be pedantic, the poster did say "looks like" and: - "looks like" is associated with physical appearance - possibly things like clothes, jewelry, gender, hair, skin color, face, …

They probably do sensationalize it, but actually I like that this article gives perspective by saying it was the worst since Brexit, right in the title. Knowing that it's the worst day in 1.5 yea…
