  • It’s not even people being offended that creates the rules a lot of the time. If you don’t have strict and clear cut rules, it’s going to eat up a ton of mod time trying to keep out trolls and people asking the same things repeatedly in bad faith. I liked the split that was on Reddit between an asktransgender group and the groups meant for community.

    For me though, I’ve just never wanted to be in that particular kind of place as a trans person. It takes a lot of energy to constantly answer the unintentionally offensive and invasive questions from all the people in your family, job, and just general day to day life. It’s hard to find people who consistently can and want to give time to helping slowly warm people up to the same basic facts that they could find on their own.



  • This still just feels like a muddying of technical language. If you were to write an article about autopilot killing somebody and use object to refer to them, that’s certainly dehumanization, but saying that an object detection algorithm performs poorly on humans doesn’t feel like it is.

    Part of the problem is that in general we aren’t talking about specialized human detection models that incorporate things like pose estimation. Instead it is almost always a general object detection alg, and referring to the same models differently based on the subject just adds muddiness.

    I’m mostly familiar with AI within healthcare, and in my workplace, any released model is going to have a number of conversations and evaluations about the technical performance, practical impact on patients, and general ethics of the model. Those conversations blend, but it’s harmful to make the language less clear in any one of those contexts.

    It’s a bit delayed to be responding to this comment, but I wanted to in case op is still hanging around this thread.

    1. He doesn’t necessarily need to be worried about ‘looking different’. A lot of trans people, and trans men in particular, completely pass. Testosterone is strong as hell. People just always stick with their ‘we can always tell’ talking points, because when they see passing trans people, they don’t assume they’re trans.

    2. The phrasing behind your second point is kind just of a rehash of a common anti lgbtq sentiment. The problem is, at least anecdotally for myself, that the people who would harass you consider that to be anything showing you’re in some form queer or showing any pride in who you are. It’s essentially a demand that people entirely hide part of them if they want to to be treated with respect.




  • Hmm that doesn’t seem like it’d be hot enough to cause consistent drop assuming nighttime lows are at least getting to 70.

    I do some self pollination on the plants I baby the most, but a big help for me was when I started actually changing what I fed throughout the growing season. A lower N, higher P fertilizer when I wanted to switch from growing to fruiting helped me get a lot more fruit.



  • How hot is it where you’re at? I have some overwintered peppers that are still full of fruit that set earlier in the season, but pretty much every flower has fallen off for a while now. High heat doesn’t reduce flowering much, but it does dramatically stop fruit production.

    If you’re in the US, I’m in a hardiness zone of 8b/9a though. We have a very long growing season so I know I’ll get a fall harvest as well out of both new and old plants.
