THREAD One of the weirder statistical consequences of the riot.
You can only be denied a security clearance (or have a current one revoked) if the allegations made against you fit within one of 13 adjudicative guidelines, numbered A-M.
That's because to fall under Guideline A, you can't just prefer another country over the US or be ...
Remember how broad I said the guidelines are? You can conceivably be thrown under A by being a member of a group that has participated in such activities.
The 1/6 riot featured pretty much every major alt-right group in existence. Which ...
There's a recognized problem with members of the law ...
I'm actually ok with that.
In other words, if you know someone is one of these folks & you don't ...
I have numerous concerns with this & make my students watch it for discussion purposes, but the bottom line today is, ...

Nice to discover Judea Pearl ask a fundamental question. What's an 'inductive bias'?
I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.
explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?
An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.
The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.
Help! What precisely is "inductive bias"? Some ML researchers are in the opinion that the machine learning category of \u2018inductive biases\u2019 can allow us to build a causal understanding of the world. My Ladder of Causation says: "This is mathematically impossible". Who is right? 1/
