Nice attempt to put those words in my mouth. Here’s what I think less racist than a human is: less racist than a human.
ADHD and Autism are real conditions.
Now answer every point I made.
Any comparison with how humans do with the same resumes in that article? Hm… nope.
The AI models are racist because they are trained on racist human generated decision sets. At least AI can be reprogrammed. Your own article concludes that this research should be used to improve AI.
Do you seriously believe that human review of a neurodivergent person’s strangely composed resume is going to be any better? Have you ever sat down with a stack of resumes in your life? Managers will toss them in seconds without even reading them in full - at least AI will do that.
I think you’re just using neurodivergence as a way to take your miserably uninformed assumptions about how AI application review works, and legitimize them as a discrimination issue.
Do you think there’s enough information in the application to decide? If that information is there, then you shouldn’t categorically assume AI is being racist against Einstein. Personal review of resumes is notoriously rife with bias - you actually might want to consider that AI could be an improvement. The guy with the ethnic name might get a high AI score and actually get a second look. You don’t know the AI performs worse than humans in the things you care about. Be real: you have no information about that at all.
The people downvoting you refuse to recognize one simple fact: employers are absolutely drowning in unqualified applications for jobs. People completely ignore the requirements and apply anyway, or even install browser extensions that automatically fill out applications by the dozen. But oh! How dare the employer do anything but read all 600 applications and carefully read between the lines to consider applicants who have no experience but want a ‘career change!’ How dare they try to bin the worst 300 automatically!
In Japan, the culture around this is very different. People don’t apply for things unless they are highly qualified and meet the specific requirements. People tend to switch jobs less often and are more intentional about it. In the US it’s “I’m unemployed, time to spam.” This is despite the fact that for ever and ever, experts have been telling people “send fewer applications to more targeted jobs.” I’m sure everyone thinks they are doing this, but believe me, as a collective - no one else is.
Yes, though no one is obligated to help with one. Employers generally want directly relevant experience.
A career change takes more than cold online applications. It’s a situation where you need to network and take advantage take of any ins you can.
Since Trump’s number one message was about immigration, it makes me wonder how Latinos took that message. A bystanding white person might think that US Latinos should be appalled at the way Trump painted Mexican immigrants as criminals.
But then again, maybe Mexican immigrants who’ve been in the US a while look down on those recently arriving, or don’t want more of them to compete with. After all if you are a Mexican immigrant, you probably compete with other Mexican immigrants for work on some level.
So there again we have the failure of identity politics. It’s about simple “me” economics, not “we” identity.
Thanks for doing the homework on this.
Yeah I should definitely have included the /s here LOL my bad
He probably decided he didn’t have a way to cut those 45 degree angles and so there was no way to make those boards like the rest.
Oh I absolutely believe he’s saying what’s in his heart on this.
He’s about as establishment as they get. And he doesn’t believe establishment leaders are accountable for criminal charges over things that look like “war.”
If the 2024 election wasn’t clue enough: people don’t give a shit about preserving establishment norms anymore and are ready to throw the entire thing in the crapper - some argue that voters already did exactly that.
The problem is far beyond anything you did here. You engaged substantively more than others, so kudos - no need to defend your honor line by line :)
“That comes to… $288, sir. Would you like to take advantage of today’s half off promotion, and pay just $144?”
(Slaps cashier in the face)
“How dare you!”
Kamala Harris promised similar bullshit. It’s pretty clear that the voters were not impressed with the idea of a one-time coupon you can file along with your tax return. They want to see structural measures taken to rebalance the economy so that ordinary people can live in dignity even if that means that the phantasmagorically wealthy will have to get downgraded to fantabulously wealthy.
Well la de da. Swish!
I share your frustration. There are many narratives on Lemmy that you’re supposed to just know and parrot. Asking questions, even just for more information, is blasphemy. It’s plain pathetic.
I believe all of that is happening with or without the results of this election. Some problems are bigger than red vs blue. We are failing en toto on this one. True, the in-flight movie on the Trump plane to hell is suckier than the one on the Harris plane to hell, but they land in the same place.
Their wishes and promises are not the only thing involved here.
D4: it's not that theres nothing to do, theres just nothing to get
I enjoy the various endgame activities and tweaking my build to try new things. But it doesn’t seem right that I am only level 80 and haven’t gotten a piece of gear I care about in a long time. Grinding out those last Paragon points hardly seems worth it.
Linking to replies from inbox isn’t working and I’d ask this be given some priority.
Bug description:
- Get a reply to a comment
- View your inbox, see that reply
- Wonder what your comment was again, and what they are replying to…
- Tap their reply
Expect: go to the reply, in context, in the thread, ideally with your comment that they are replying to shown also (wefwef currently does this)
Actual: go to thread, but neither the reply nor your comment are shown - you have to scroll the entire thread and find them
Why a priority? Because this directly impedes back and forth conversation, which is the whole mode of Lemmy.
Appreciate the work. Thanks for hearing this feedback.
the delicate peeling of manzanita bark
Manzanita reminds me of my grandfather, passed on years since. There was a lot of it on his property and as a kid it was the only place I ever saw it. I’m happy that my current climate allows me to grow a couple. They help me remember.

It was a nutso year for poppies (and most everything here). Cant wait to see next year.
These poppies have just been propagating naturally in my yard. I don’t do anything except leave them alone. We got so many this year that we spotted several people stopping to take selfies with them :)
This is the first year I actively gathered these seeds and spread them around my yard to places that poppies don’t just spring up on their own. If we have any kind of rain this winter then spring will be insane.
It’s pretty fun trying to gather these seeds because by the time the seed pods are mature, they’re also bent and flexed, which makes them split and POP and spread their seeds everywhere as soon as you touch them. So you have to grasp the whole pop in your hand quickly to get hold of any seeds. My kids had a blast with that.
The wet winter and spring really made for a wild year here. It’s dry usually so only hardy, opportunist plants tend to survive. But this was such a year of plenty that everything green just WENT FOR IT. Man I hope we get more like that.
TIL that the USDA hardiness zones are each a ten-degree band of average minimum temperature in the fahrenheit scale, and the “a” and “b” suffixes break each zone down further into 5 degree ranges.
I guess I thought they were more like distinct biomes but it really is just uniform chunks of temperature range. I also didn’t know that they were defined by the US Department of Agriculture, who created the first such system to help gardeners. There are similar maps for Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe, but no single global system. What’s your zone?
My first time growing spinach from seed and I have questions…
I’ve bought spinach starts in the past and had a great time harvesting spinach all season - just a few leaves off the bunch each time and more would always grow.
But this year I sprouted seeds myself and I was disappointed when they didn’t grow into the nice bunches I had seen before. Just these leggy little plants. They have nice leaves but not many of them.
Should I be sprouting several seeds together? Or just plant a lot of these closer together? Is it an issue of variety? If anyone has thoughts I’d love to hear them. Thanks
Here’s what Romaine lettuce eventually becomes
I had a great year for Romaine lettuce. After learning how nutritious it is, I started a bunch of seeds and they did really well. We had more than we could eat, and after a camping trip I came home to find they’d bolted (see picture). I recommend trying this plant if you have any interest. They are reportedly water intensive but I didn’t find them excessively so. I was also told they will bolt at the first sign of heat but that didn’t happen for me either. They were mature and harvestable for weeks, even with some hot days.
My lantanas survived the frost and are thriving!
I wanted some color in this part of the yard and I’ve always loved lanatanas. I remember being fascinated by their many geometric shapes even as a kid. But I lost a whole row of them the first time I planted. What little frost we get here, maybe 2 or 3 nights a year, was enough to kill them. I tried again the following year and started earlier. And I blanketed them one or two nights when there was a frost warning. They still lost some foliage but the roots remained healthy and with some pruning they have thrived this spring and summer! I hope they are now on their way to being even stronger. They grow big around here, into full hedges even.
