yes, the quality, size, & representatives of your training data does to some extent impact the performance of your system. but that's far from the whole story. automation by its very nature forces quantification and most social, cultural, political phenomena resist quantification

I am not made for Capitalism. Every relationship I have feels cheapened and dehumanized by the exchange of money. Everything becomes a hollow experience because it is meted out by an arbitrary quantification of worth. It makes me feel as if the only true emotion or relational value is exploitation

Quantification is apparently a western way of knowing or some goddamn bullshit. I’m so tired

the best part of post-tenure academia has been having the career space to slow down. the damage done by the contraction of tenure track positions + poor security/working conditions of non tenure track faculty + quantification of academic contributions is incalculable
FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more.
I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”

the extremely strict quantification of art is one of those extremely evil things that people generally don't even notice or take as a matter of course

Hey, so as a Jew I would consider it a personal favor if the "world's oldest Jewish newspaper" could avoid writing articles implying one can quantify Jewishness...
... let alone those that seem to imply the formula for quantification hinges on vocal support for the Israeli government's policies.

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC.

I feel as of late i've been really anti-quantification... the push for wishlists, streams, subscribers, steam reviews, or like, having numbers in game design and how almost always serves to drive addiction and retention. in 2025 we need to fight Numbers!! .. say no to numberism and quantification

effective altruism did always have that tell-tale techbro stink to it of “guys who think they’re good at math pompously assume no one else in other industries has ever thought about quantification before”
they didn't need the term "effective altruism" in the first place. cost-benefit analysis has existed for a long time. the world was not exactly sitting around waiting for tech bros to come up with the concept of empirical program evaluation.

Poorly-designed bullshit quantification is worse than no quantification, because it gives a false sense of legitimacy and objectivity.

New preprint led by Zoe Rudnick: bramble 🌿
RNA-seq quantification makes you pick a side. Align to the transcriptome and your quantifier is happy, but reads from unannotated transcripts get misassigned to annotated ones. Align to the genome and you keep discovery, but limit quantification choices.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.
