If your takeaway from your link was that "it's fine" and not "that further research is necessary"... you are going one step further than the article. I can understand why people don't want screen time when thei

Nor did I say that the poster here was fit or unfit. I speculated about what two extreme opinion holders would say to one another. My point was that polarizing the discourse and reducing the other side to "just came out of the psych wa

Says the person linking to "informationliberation dot com". Pot, meet kettle. Sure her twitter profile is highly politically charged and should likely have made her unfit for clearance, but citing that as evidence that she should

What does "hybrid clip" mean? Audio + MIDI in the same track? Live's arrangement view + session view in the same screen?

You can turn off auto-warp on audio tracks by default globally, and you can disable warp on a per clip basis as you go. In your specific case... disable warping on your ambient track, line it up against your warped/synced "another

Hate to be a pedant... but I'm not sure any one person gets to define what "music in the art sense" even is. Yes, Ableton is rigid. Yes, Ableton favors certain musical styles over others. Yes, Ableton, here and in their desi

Not sure why this is downvoted. California, like many other jurisdictions, seems to make a distinction between groceries/"raw" foods, and "prepared foods" when it comes to sales taxes. Unprepared foods are generally

Using the title "engineer" in conjunction with "submitting the critique and calculations [...] to members of the public for consideration and modification [...] of traffic signals", I believe, is the critical part here

Completely agreed. He pretty much barked up the one tree that actively cares about use of the title "engineer", and used it in violation of the law (as it is now). Had he sent the letter/formula/math/suggestions to

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but the Constitution is but one piece of law in the US. There's a litany of state legislation (and I presume federal, as well) that regulate the use of job titles (e.g., doctor, engineer, lawyer, den

Perhaps on the North Sentinel Islands now, or 4,000 years or so elsewhere in the world, "no regulations" is / was the default position. That isn't the case for recent history in most of the world. Claiming that "no

My point is that neither "insects are unpleasant" nor "plants are pleasant" nor "doctors are 66% male" are immutable features of the universe. They are merely snapshots of the human view of world conditions, as

So, "plants are pleasant" or "insects are unpleasant" are universal truths?

Accuracy might mean "positively" right, as your post suggests, but that doesn't necessarily mean "normatively" right. From what I understand, the fear surrounding embedding human stereotypes into ML systems is that

How can you take something as useful evidence when it has been explicitly prohibited from use? Unless public colleges are secretly flying in the face of a Supreme Court ruling, your assertion that "being black is worth +1.0 on GPA, w

by rmxt 10y ago
It's flagrantly misleading to claim that "being black is worth [x]" when this scale is dated and explicitly prohibited from use after Gratz v. Bollinger (2003). See here for UMich's 16 year old explanation of this sc

It's clear upon clicking the link or viewing your HN profile, but in the interests of transparency, it might be useful to note that the link is to your own article and website.

The world would probably be a better place if people did care a little bit more about things in general. Whether they do or don't, should or shouldn't, that's one pretty nasty way to say that people don't care about an

Not sure I understand what you are asking. Could you rephrase it? I think it is irrational that one can develop energy policy, including promoting the increased use of non-renewable resources like coal and gas, without including anything ex

Urging everyone to approach issues rationally is fine, but how can you excuse the inherent irrationality ("isn't a situation where ... did anything inappropriate") in denying that climate change/global warming is happeni

Probably important to note that for $300,000 in the East 40s of Manhattan, you're almost undoubtedly getting a co-op and not a condo... meaning you aren't getting "ownership" in the traditional American sense of "ow

Why is starting such a discussion "disappointing"? It seems like a fair extrapolation to make, and a conversation worth exploring. Is income inequality at particular universities not an interesting issue to explore? The article

The depths to which this thread has reached suggests that the point's relevance (or perhaps more appropriately, "appropriateness") is not as clear as you seem to think. Your slight towards other posters aside, what is easier

I agree that the professionals/us are the ones that need to make the decisions, though I might not go so far as to say that public education is completely futile. Though re-reading what I wrote, it seems I misleadingly implied that thi
