• Observation Without Judgment: The Hidden Perils Of Machine Learning

  23-07-2019 23:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  Because most machine-learning models cannot offer reasons for theirongoing judgments, there is no way to tell when they’ve misfired if onedoesn’t already have an independent judgment about the answers theyprovide. Misfires can be rare in a well-trained system. But they canalso be triggered intentionally by someone who knows just what kind ofdata to feed into that system. – The New Yorker

  23-07-2019 22:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  Over time, arguments and judgments about what constitutes ugliness inarchitecture – whether it be incompleteness, incongruity orincorrectness – have leached out beyond the profession.

• ‘When Harry Met Sally’ And The Invention Of The ‘High-Maintenance’ Woman

  23-07-2019 21:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  “According to the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, it was When Harry Met Sally that popularized the term high-maintenance in American culture. … An assessment that is also a rebuke, high-maintenance is one of those breezy truisms that is so common, it barely registers as an insult. But the term today does precisely what it did 30 years ago, as backlash brewed against the women’s movement: It serves as an indictment of women who want.” – The At

• Rossini goes commando in Teatro Nuovo’s ‘La Gazza Ladra’

  23-07-2019 20:54 via feedproxy.google.com
  I’m a longtime Rossini skeptic, but his rock-star status during his lifetime couldn’t have been a fluke. Could the key to making his operas (beyond the two or three popular comedies) appealing lie in historical performance practice, as happened with Handel? In this case, the answer is yes. – David Patrick Stearns

  With public libraries open to the entire public, librarians in recent years have been seeing needs for services that their MLS programs didn’t train them to provide — from aiding job seekers to assisting growing numbers of people experiencing homelessness to treating drug overdoses. So some library systems have begun hiring resident social workers, who say that the lack of any stigma around going to a library makes it easier for people who need their help to ask for it. – NPR
