  • It’s not even people being offended that creates the rules a lot of the time. If you don’t have strict and clear cut rules, it’s going to eat up a ton of mod time trying to keep out trolls and people asking the same things repeatedly in bad faith. I liked the split that was on Reddit between an asktransgender group and the groups meant for community.

    For me though, I’ve just never wanted to be in that particular kind of place as a trans person. It takes a lot of energy to constantly answer the unintentionally offensive and invasive questions from all the people in your family, job, and just general day to day life. It’s hard to find people who consistently can and want to give time to helping slowly warm people up to the same basic facts that they could find on their own.




  • I recently had to build out my business casual wardrobe as well. Madewell has taken so much of my money for both regular clothes and business ones. Decent deals on sale and generally a great quality. I’m also tall, and they tend to offer a tall version of everything which is so lovely.

    Zara on sale had some decent deals of meh quality stuff, and I did some last bit of filling out with h&m stuff since the clothes budget was blown. H&m has some stuff that will look good for a bit, but long-term quality isn’t great.



  • This still just feels like a muddying of technical language. If you were to write an article about autopilot killing somebody and use object to refer to them, that’s certainly dehumanization, but saying that an object detection algorithm performs poorly on humans doesn’t feel like it is.

    Part of the problem is that in general we aren’t talking about specialized human detection models that incorporate things like pose estimation. Instead it is almost always a general object detection alg, and referring to the same models differently based on the subject just adds muddiness.

    I’m mostly familiar with AI within healthcare, and in my workplace, any released model is going to have a number of conversations and evaluations about the technical performance, practical impact on patients, and general ethics of the model. Those conversations blend, but it’s harmful to make the language less clear in any one of those contexts.


  • Aw, I’ve been using my evo for a while and didn’t realize they’d gone out of business. They were always great to deal with for me. It’s a nifty device, and I like the all glass air flow. That really only stayed true when using it with extracts in the glass nails though.

    Have you found a reasonable clone for the baskets? I love those little things and used them in my portable as well.














  • Hmm that doesn’t seem like it’d be hot enough to cause consistent drop assuming nighttime lows are at least getting to 70.

    I do some self pollination on the plants I baby the most, but a big help for me was when I started actually changing what I fed throughout the growing season. A lower N, higher P fertilizer when I wanted to switch from growing to fruiting helped me get a lot more fruit.
