Removing race from kidney function algorithm helped more Black patients access transplants
Removing race from the eGFR had a big impact, resulting in 5.3 more kidney transplants per 1000 Black candidates.
“Several years ago, nephrologists attempted a first-of-its-kind effort: remove race from a key clinical algorithm, and attempt to undo the harms… A new study found the change had big results, impacting 27% of Black patients and resulting in 5.3 more transplants per 1000 Black candidates.”

Really hating working in tech right now, and wondering if I'm out of touch for not cramming more racist linear algebra into all aspects if my work while everyone in CS has a dick measuring contest about it.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online
The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

Imaging a human saying to you, "i will only ever tell you what i think you want to hear, based on what i know about ppl like you, how you start our conversation, & what you say during it. Sometimes that will sound like truth, sometimes like errors or lies. Now: Let's talk about your medical history"

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

A four panel comic strip. Panel one: text reads “I love drawing my scrungly guys at the computer.” A coyote is shown looking at the viewer over his shoulder whilst typing at a computer. Panel two: text reads “But what are they computing?” A close of view of a badge on the computer reading “CBM- Coyote Business Machines.” Panel three: text reads “Making a game? Drawing up a budget? Home automation?” The coyote says, “I use the computer to communicate!” Panel four: a close view of the computer screen, showing a simple program written in Basic: “10 print “yip” 20 goto 10” Run Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip

The problem when ppl in a panoptic surveillance paradigm say they want to "do better than this" is that they mean they want perfect, error-free surveillance tech & not only is that functionally impossible, it's not morally desirable, even if it were. It'd still be a panoptic surveillance paradigm…

To fascists, every queer and furry identity is a sexual kink and a danger to children.
If you support the criminalization of fictional kinks you think are icky or dangerous you're opening a path to your own criminalization.

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time
