scott fIs San Jose gonna beat San Francisco to having a continuous, high-quality, cross-city bike route?
SF keeps making piecemeal improvements a few blocks long that don't connect, or actually removing parts of its network (Slow Pacific). And when the MTAB asked for a citywide Slow Street network with no gaps, staff basically refused. Something like San Jose's Central Bikeway would be way better. https://sanjosespotlight.com/silicon-valleys-santa-clara-county-bicycle-superhighway-path-central-bikeway-could-be-a-game-changer/
Ericka SimoneI don’t want self driving cars. I want public transportation so solid that you don’t even need to hop in a car unless it’s a taxi situation. I want infrastructure.

Blair FixAgreed. Also, I prefer the term 'creative'. To me, 'productive' has been co-opted by economists. And the nice thing about creativity is that everyone agrees that it can't be quantified.

Timnit Gebru (she/her).I am really confused in the field of machine learning right now. Like really. This is the field that likes to gate keep other fields who are not "technical" or whatever, and we're seeing papers advertising evaluation datasets that are the outputs of other models.
Like machine translation training and evaluation datasets that are the outputs of other machine translation systems.
What happened to the BASIC concept of not testing on your training set?
Or anything related to learning theory?
