There are a few human quality estimate corpuses out there. I know a year or two ago they were re-running the quality assessments with RED camera footage. Check out the NYU/UTexas/Waterloo labs working on SSIM, I bet you can downlo

This is exactly how we keep intentionally misunderstanding Das Kapital on internet forums. Class is not a minor outcome of a social moment. It is not a mere symbol that can be quickly turned on or off by a culture, the way a culture might s

Marx being the economist in my post. My confusion is why the arguments presented here are being called "cultural". People are trying to frame left economics as a mere happenstance of a cultural moment (hippies or hipsters), in ord
