I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"English
28·7 days agoI looked for the original article, abstract:
Human capital—encompassing cognitive skills and personality traits—is critical for labor market success, yet the personality component remains difficult to measure at scale. Leveraging advances in artificial intelligence and comprehensive LinkedIn data, we extract the Big 5 personality traits from facial images of 96,000 MBA graduates, and demonstrate that this novel" Photo Big 5" predicts school rank, compensation, job seniority, industry choice, job transitions, and career advancement. Using administrative records from top-tier MBA programs, we find that the Photo Big 5 exhibits only modest correlations with cognitive measures like GPA and standardized test scores, yet offers comparable incremental predictive power for labor outcomes. Unlike traditional survey-based personality measures, the Photo Big 5 is readily accessible and potentially less susceptible to manipulation, making it suitable for wide adoption in academic research and hiring processes. However, its use in labor market screening raises ethical concerns regarding statistical discrimination and individual autonomy.

I don’t have the time nor the expertise to read everything to understand how they take into account the bias that good looking white men with educated parents are way more likely to succeed at life.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?

Je suis parti de cette recette qui donne un petit cake. https://www.papillesetpupilles.fr/2021/05/cake-au-the-matcha.html/
J’ai doublé la dose de matcha parce que trop legé. Je n’ai pas fait les blancs en neige parce que ça prend du temps sans ajouter grand chose à mon avis, j’ai juste mis les oeufs entiers directement.
Ensuite j’ai refait la même pâte mais en remplaçant le sucre et le matcha par environ 150 g d’azuki avec des morceaux. Ça risque de ne pas être facile de trouver la pâte de haricots rouge en France. Puis j’ai alterné une boule de chaque sur trois niveaux.
Les amandes mondées au-dessus pour décorer mais ça tombe à la découpe. Une autre finition que j’ai faite et que je recommande plus, c’est de couvrir avec un mélange de chocolat noir et de beurre, potentiellement avec des éclats d’amandes ou de noisettes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there enough resources in the world to allow everyone (or at least the vast majority) to live comfortably and happily?
5·21 days agoMaybe one starting point is the 2 tones of CO₂ estimated to be the annual budget per person to stay at 1.5°C of global warming (already passed). For people living in rich countries, staying under the 2t requires active efforts, it’s possible since developing countries do it, but they are often considered too much of a hassle by the average rich country person: little to no individual car, little to no plane, home energy performance investments, smaller home, less animal food, shopping local etc.

As far as I understand, for the basic needs, it’s totally possible to sustain the demographic peak that should be around 10 billion humans in 2100. But certainly not with the current level of resources consumption in rich countries.

1·26 days agoIt would not be a fully determining schema that could apply to random outputs, I would guess this is impossible for natural language, and if it is possible, then it may as well be used for procedural generation. It would be just enough to make an LLM output be good enough. It doesn’t need to be perfect because human output is not perfect either.























It’s the authoritarian way, as seen in pretty much any country who had it.
