I don’t think he believes in the immortal science but he does adhere to defending AES (and the global south in general) and that is better than like 80% of Western leftists. He’s about as good as you could expect from a streamer with any significant following.
In 2040 he will finally see the value in the immortal science and we will achieve communism within a year.
Even the radiology analysis applications have been largely bullshit. They don’t actually outperform humans and most of it is due to using heavily biased datasets and poorly tuned black box models. At its base, a “modern” model doing this kind of thing is learning patterns. The pattern learned may not be the thing you’re actually trying to recognize. It may instead notice that, say, an image was taken with contrast and that statically increases the chance that the image will contain the issue of interest, as contrast imaging is done when other issues are already suspected. But it didn’t “see” the problem in the image, it learned the other thing, so now it thinks that most people getting contrast imaging have cancer or whatever
Machine learning etc could be great for medicine but the profit motive means that the best bullshitter will get these early contracts. The best bullshitter has an actual product and it looks great in demos but they cut corners so its fuckups are difficult to audit and were swept under the rug when the few engineers that understood the problem raised the issue.
With very carefully collected and annotated datasets and heuristic guard rails this stuff could actually be great. But those things are slow and expensive.
It is actually a fundamental distinction that is an introduction to understanding racism outside is the Anglo context, which Hexbear users constantly project onto every other culture. It is of course inseparably tied to Euro colonialism, but it is not some agonizing distinction without a difference, it is something one must understand to discuss race in LatAm. Proximity to Spanish heritage and distance from indigenous heritage is the primary racial axis in LatAm.
This is great material for a media criticism module btw. The conflation of NYT and HRW with truth and apolitical, with the Venezuelan government positions as inherently political and biased. The uses that agreeing with the US being bad is somehow a black mark. The heavy work being done by the term “private citizens” giving away that this is certainly backed by like 3 super rich guys, tops.
This kind of data science aesthetic is actually very common for laundering right wing claims. They used it for the OAS “report” during the coups on MAS in Bolovia as well, produced with R, where they made their interns write a 20 page pdf trying to avoid the basic critical thinking of, “what if votes came in based on geography and political alignment varies geographically?”, instead using the base assumption of “surely all votes are evenly distributed as they arrive”.
lmao they’re not even evenly distributed weights?
It’s my trying to pretend I can write in Chinese script and everyone immediately learns that I can’t
I’m confused about why they’re claiming responsibility for these things at all
They’re certainly ultras. I haven’t seen many actual bordiga stans like that, like in a group, unless they are just ultras of another tendency that lives to use Stalinist as an epithet. Like Trots or some Maoists.
It’s always funny to hear them try to define how China is imperialist re: Lenin.
The only person implying they’re speaking on behalf of trans people is her. Liberals cannot help but self-tokenize.
But they’re using Spanish proximity, which is a bit different in Latin America than just whiteness. It’s not a subdivision of whiteness, it’s its own thing as well.
Ah, I see. I figured this was from a share link button. Amazon usually likes to put its main tracking state in its URLs as you browse, so if I share an Amazon link I always strip it to it’s bare product path portion.
All of mine are “fine” and are generic drug store ones.
I’ve been curious about the Mr green ones since they’re inexpensive on AliExpress. Now’s your chance to test them for me!
The url shortener (tracker) will have already done its job if you keep using Firefox for anything amazon after that.
Yes and they’re announcing themselves to be in close proximity to Spanish heritage, which is, generally speaking, the Latin American version of “pure blood” whiteness. It’s like a white person talking about the purity of their bloodline and how important it is to retain it.
Y’all gotta get even more cynical, yo. There isn’t even a vague agenda outside of this being a venting session. People will be seen and heard. That’s the floor and expectation being set and it’s already qualified to be about “bad” landlords in a society where people think their landlord is “good” just because they aren’t constantly jacking up rent, barging into their living space unannounced, and refusing to make any repairs. In many ways the framing is already a liberal false consciousness.
Perhaps it could lead to good and strategic things. But it could just as easily be garbage and there isn’t much to be optimistic about.
I think you’re overestimating the interest and capacity of NYDSA. Those would be nice things, though.
As a hat, the fedora is supposed to be on you, not the other way around
