Yechh, this is such a hard to read (bad?) transcript that I almost wish I had listened instead of read it all. I remain surprised, and disappointed, at how lousy so much fully automated voice-to-text remains.
Content was pretty good, tho your occasional disagreements with Tyler were often not so clear. Based on your de-anonymizing from July, I'd expect to see Brian (or Brianchau) instead of your old handle of cactuschu (which I did sort of like).
Early on you made a great point about metrics and evaluation:
"there are people who will try to subvert any metric who will not actually be competent in the ways that you want them to be competent." Such gamers often succeed more than they deserve in the short term.
It was sad but important to read about Tyler's support for Wokism, tho neither of you differentiated it from Human Rights (mostly negative rights against violations). I see India & Saudi Arabia as denying women full human rights, thus putting legal barriers stopping them from acting in ways it's legal for men to act. Indian male acceptance of rape, a clear violation of the woman's right to say "no", was a strong example. Opposing rape & castes, which stop free movement and intermarriage, seems different qualitatively from the Woke semi-religious ideal of sexual or racial equal outcomes.
It's pretty silly, stupid even to expect any society to have 50% of the people who are pregnant be male, and 50% female. That's the unequal biological binary. That's where US Wokism is terrible. It's good to expect that legal sex between men and women depends on mutual consent - so rape is and should be illegal - and India progresses, as did America, when it believes more women and especially when it protects more women. But not all.
All systems have false positives and false negatives, and most attempts to reduce one type of error increase the other.
