Not only does the Science story fail to call them on this; its author falls into the one of the oldest and most pernicious traps around algorithmic bias.

The author contrasts the use of "automated methods" with reliance on "human prejudice", entirely overlooking the fact that the automated methods propose here are nothing but the explicit and fully-descirbed instantiation of human prejudice.

It's truly an embarrassment all around.

Intro post: I'm a professor of #Biology at the #UniversityOfWashington. My training is in #EvolutionaryBiology, #BehavioralEcology, #PopulationGenetics, and #Epidemiology. I did lots of work in #Bibliometrics and #NetworkTheory. I teach #DataLiteracy. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the spread of #Misinformation, the #ScienceOfScience, and #PhilosophyOfScience. I do a lot of #BirdPhotography and love #ravens, #crows, and all #corvids.

For your trouble, here's a perfect crow.

Do I as an atheist, think there may be any chance I would ever go back to religion or become religious of any type?

My response, No, I don't see myself believing in non-reality beliefs supported by faith. I don't value faith. Atheism is a lack of belief in gods, so it doesn't mean one can't have other beliefs even religious or spiritual (whatever this loose term spiritual means). I am an atheist, antitheist, and antireligionist. So, I don't enjoy attending any religious services nor follow any religious-themed teaching but understand others who are atheists may. People should do as they feel works for them.

I'm dead serious; and furthermore as someone who has studied fascism, fascists, and the white sumpremacist ideology that binds the together, I can honestly say it was probably a pretty bad idea to tell nazis who think they're invincible that climate catastrophe disproportionately affects all the people they hate the most. They're slowly turning that into a feature, not a bug, in their fantasyland nazi cracker ethos.

This means bugs in secure enclaves can last forever. Worse, if the keys for a secure enclave ever leak, then there's no way to update all the secure enclaves out there in the world - millions or billions of them - to fix it.

Well, it's happened.

The keys for the secure enclaves in #MicroStarInternational (AKA #MSI) computers, a massive manufacturer of work and gaming PCs - have leaked and shown up on the "#ExtortionPortal" of a notorious crime gang:

A local market near me was attacked by some awful people who apparently purposefully rammed their storefront and destroyed half the store, I guess because racism? Not sure why, but these folks are neighborly and no one deserves this.

In the 10th century, Persian traveler Buzurg ibn Shahriyar wrote in his book about a jinn market located in Kashmir.

According to local informants the jinn marketplace was located in luscious gardens among running streams. The jinn could be heard around the gardens buying and selling, but no one ever saw them.

Sadly he doesn't record more than that. Even though, it sounds like a fascinating setting for a story. 🧞 🧞‍♀️

Like I get capitalism makes us "need" money. But kids, please...get the idea that money has any real value out of your head.

If you don't believe me, read "Debt" by David Graeber. Shit will blow your mind.
