  And use SVG when you can; bitmaps which should be vectors are frequently big and ugly.

  Likely Timnit Gebru who has been working in the area of the ethics of AI for quite some time.

  Jeffries has directly said what it does and who is yo blame.

  They aren’t being effective enough at getting that message out, but they are saying it pretty clearly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should know how to coil cables⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Over over puts multiple same direction twists in the cable. Over under puts a twist, then puts the opposite twist, so you don’t have to unroll the cable (or otherwise remove the twists).

  I always turn these around and ask given the study size, what is the confidence interval of the number of autism diagnoses attributable to Tylenol?

  Often the number is surprisingly low given the other factors (and frequently uncontrolled confounders.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  trisomy-21 isn’t present in sperm or eggs, it’s a mistake in cell division early in fetal development

  This is incorrect. Non-disjunction (where chromosomes incorrectly separate) typically happens during the formation of egg or sperm. (We know this because most everyone with down syndrome has three different chromosome 21 instead of two identical copies of one chromosome.)

  This is a bit misleading. You only need to treat the first generation of 2n watermelon with colchicine (which inhibits the movement of chromosomes during metaphase) to produce a 4n watermelon. Once you have a 4n watermelon, subsequent generations do not require colchicine treatment.
