Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

House Speaker Mike Lee has attached the Save Act onto the September spending bill meaning the Senate either has to agree that only US citizens can vote in November's elections or the government faces a shutdown. Think some Democrats sick of the cheating will vote for it too using the cover of "my state can't afford a government shutdown" as cover to do the right thing.

Weapons of Math Destruction

"Like gods, these mathematical models are opaque, their workings invisible to all but the highest priests in their domain: mathematicians and computer scientists. Their verdicts, even when wrong or hurtful, were beyond dispute or appeal. And they tended to punish the poor and oppressed in our society, while making the rich richer.

I came up with the name for these harmful kinds of models: Weapons of Math Destruction, or WMPD's for short." - Cathy O'Neil

Just started Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction and will keep you posted.
