Apparently around my office if I say, "Delegate it to an intern." An intern pops up in front of me, damn near made me shit myself. It might have been magic, or a blind corner. I'm not sure.
I haven't had to limp around at work for a while. was the shittiest thing to be in too much pain to really function but unable to take time off
Well I just got diagnosed with it a few months ago. Kind of explains a few things. Like my grumpiness for one. And with treatment I think I have been a bit better! But there are still those flare days ya. Thanks Prophet.
(Responding to old post, sorry)
Maybe I misunderstood original situation, but was "Big Boss" just correcting the practice of generic LWOP being allowed too liberally and just wants everything done through FMLA channels? (Usually FMLA is tracked for usage)
My boss is out of office (all day? for now?), and the head of the project I'm working on is also out of office (again, all day? I don't know) and I kinda need further instructions from him before doing more work because I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.
Like I just have no idea what further analysis I should do on this dataset.
hmmmm
ummmm
Maybe I'll fritter away a bit more time, see if these guys come back by 3 or so, and then go home early?
oh...actually maybe I can do some work for the project I am semi-managing/trying to turn into a Phase 2...like figuring out what is even in a phase 2 proposal...

I just think we need to be real careful in applying algorithms and blindly trusting them, without acknowledging they can definitely be biased and flawed, when the stakes/consequences for those negatively affected are high

My FMLA expired. So while that was going I was using the donated leave program and was still running low on leave because of having to miss work to see specialists and such. Once the FMLA expired though I was cut off my access to the donated leave program. And made me sign a document that removed my EPM granted access to LWOP because of "misuse"... which "technically" landed within my FMLA time.
How he got around FMLA is basically he stated my PTO usage ability wasnt being changed because of overuse in FMLA but rather used a schedule change, I was on 10s at the time and moved to 8s, to denote that I would no longer be approved for LWOP under any circumstance.

Why wouldn't the witnesses to the witness just be the witness so less signatures are needed?
okay right, so are going to trust cars to drive themselves
let's get to that point before we let robots kill people and decide who lives or dies themselves
related, www.wnyc.org/story/its-us-versus-algorithms/
this segment is really interesting about how we're letting algorithms do a lot of things which can be good, but can also often be really deterimental to the people who are on the losing end, if we're not careful
(interview with this lady who wrote a book, used to work at DE Shaw - tech hedge fund - and saw the negative affects of it)
like algorithms that go into criminal sentencing, or health care decisions, or loan approvals, etc
very interesting
algorithms also tend to have strong white or male bias at the heuristic level and is a big concern
also outsourcing decisions to algorithms has the danger of freeing us from our responsibilities/consequences of decision making and is a bad thing too
I think I saw this linked elsewhere, but I am immediately biased against listening it by the cutesy title 'it's us vs algorithms'
I believe strongly in a future where a lot of stuff is algorithmically determined and on average everyone is better off for it, and I view said future quite favorably.
But if it it vital, I will put it in my list for listening material during gaming.
it's a quick listen and worthwhile i thought
don't let title written by a new yorker editor put you off
there are lots of good things that come from algorithms, but it's important to watch out for the dangers and pitfalls in refining them and making sure we use them wisely and not blindly
Sure although...the pedant in me which I try to keep down generally says "BUT an algorithm is just a set way to solve a problem and you can have an algorithm for baking a cake; it doesn't mean making decisions through nebulously trained neural nets--if that's what we're worried about"
Humans follow algorithms and heuristics to decide on recidivism rates too, sometimes explicitly ie via checklist and sometimes just in their head where it can be more ambiguous, and those are also biased processes and automation is just nottttt the problem here!
Automatic targeting, if shown to actually be functional under a variety of lighting/weather conditions, at the range of relevant resolutions, and for subjects with varying degrees of occlusion--and with mechanisms in place to disengage if the target isn't found--is good! Why is this worse than a human operator? Is it because we really want someone to feel guilty about pressing the red button I guess? I suppose it's true that historically a lot of sodiers didn't really aim their guns at the enemy and just kinda shot, and as such there's something to human targeting leading to fewer casualties (but a less effective army...), but...I'm not sure that really applies to the way war is conducted now...
It's not true historically. It's a bit of bullshit made up by a journalist.

The problem is the belief that algorithmic or heuristic methods are unbiased or reliable, or the lack of oversight/rigorous, data-driven evaluation
Those recidivism algorithms are apparently almost never validated, and when they are it's by their creators. Some of which are for-profit organizations. And then a judge who isn't aware of these things is presented with information wearing the clothes of rational, reliable, objective instruments and makes decisions on that basis.
Algorithms for automatic targeting might be great--but they might also be killing innocent people on the regular. Without oversight, without validation, without transparency, it's very easy to slip into the assumption of objectivity and reliance on purportedly rational systems that hide their bias and their flaws.
There is nothing inherently wrong with algorithmic or heuristic methods. As you say, that's what people do. The difference is that we are automatically skeptical of people and have systems in place to vet and oversee their decision making, generally.

I try to find good Native American primitive hunting/gathering videos on youtube but man there's like nothing out there.
I occasionally think back to survival situations and how hard it must have been for early humans because I look around and.. there's food, but not nearly enough food to sustain several people without farms.
But then I remember, before humans became what we are there was probably a lot more animals and wild edible plants just everywhere.
Makes me wonder what the earth looked like before.
Then I remember the outdoors is fucking scary even knowing what I know, and humans definitely made a shitty situation so much better, even at the cost of a lot of wildlife.
