How does two flags make me not a feminist? My reputation or two flags has nothing to do with whether or not I'm a feminist or not. It doesn't even make sense how I was flagged. I literally worked in a place where a coworker had se

Because I support equal opportunity for all genders. I assume this is what feminism supports as well. Is there somewhere in my post where I implied otherwise? Please cite what I said that made you think I am not a feminist.

So your saying women have zero advantages over men? That absolutely none exist or has ever existed? Out of all possible advantages (let's say 1000 in total) your saying men hold 100% of all these advantages and women can't even ho

I did. I responded because imo under normal circumstances nobody would be offered this kind of deal. It doesn't make economical sense for the company. She was given leeway and my guess is because she's a woman among other things.

Nothing wrong with being a feminist. Both genders deserve equal treatment. I consider myself to be a feminist.

How is my statement biased? Men can suffer from unfair treatment as well. I never said anything to discount feminism, I simply stated one case where men are treated less well then women and I caveated that statement saying that this was bas

I didn't say anything hateful towards women. I think women get this better treatment then men but I didn't say they should turn it down nor did I say they didn't deserve it. I simply pointed out a difference. And what wrong w

Let me clarify. I mean “intelligence from the perspective of modern ML” is just an optimization problem.
13.
by Geminidog 6y ago
It’s even boring to technical people. It reduces intelligence to a multidimensional optimization problem. Now intelligence just involves all kinds of mechanical ways to fill out the weights for a neural network. I use to be more interested.

There’s lots of data that is google-able. Children of single parents end up significantly worse off.

There’s really bad statistics for the children of divorced parents. It may be healthy in your some cases but it’s damaging to the child.

by Geminidog 6y ago
This doesn’t effect the result. They are comparing people with children. If you didn’t have children or aborted a child it’s the same as not getting married. You simply aren’t part of the study because you are irrelevant for the same reaso

Read carefully. The distinction here is that the type checker must allow for intended behavior within JavaScript while checking for an error. The type checking I am talking about is not a sum type. It is not that the function can take a two

It's also clear meaning light passes through this baryonic matter. My question is, how do we know that the "dark matter" we assume to be littered all over the universe isn't just clear baryonic matter? I know that we inf

Would it be possible for all the missing matter to be just unseen baryonic matter? How are we sure that most of this is exotic dark matter?

It is very possible for a type checker to catch this mistake. I illustrate the intuition here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26046808

You should be impressed by it. The true nature of type checking is basically a method of hindering you. The set of all correct programs is much smaller then the set of all programs that exist so anything that hinders a programmer from opera

The fact that you haven’t used gdb is a huge deal. This is very rare in large C++ projects.

It's very possible for everyone to be guilty. We don't live in a world where if something isn't "useful" it isn't true. Your statement ends up reading sort of like "Is every Nazi guilty of the holocaust?&q

This isn't specifically the job of the architect. Any idiot can explain how the tool they built works. So the software engineer or the product manager can do this as well. Explaining how something works is not a magical skill reserved
