Periodic reminder. This dataset is bullshit. - 104 countries had no data so they guesstimated based on surrounding countries - the IQ for Guinea was based on kids in a mental disability home - one of the authors was ruled a white nationalist by the southern poverty law center

My first real language was C. I took a class in assembly. There was even one class where we designed a CPU from scratch. I don't think any of that helps me write better data analysis code. Meanwhile, the stuff I learned in "Algorithms 101" I use every day.

Wild to me how so many people in tech can see that an artificial general intelligence would have to be one of the most complex entities in existence, but dismiss other humans, general intelligences that exist right now, as boring and barely worth understanding better.

@kareem_carr Thanks for posting this. In case you are interested, @kenrich12 and I recently published an in-depth critical analysis of the within- and between-group genetic evidence cited in "The Bell Curve." A disaster of a book. doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…
@kareem_carr I was going to make fun of you for being three years late on a meme, but then I remembered the paper I’m currently working on
@kareem_carr See, that was one of my favorite scenes in the entire MCU, and now I'm going to think of this every time I watch it. My high school english teacher was right; math really DOES ruin everything. ;)
@WhyRWeHere99 I like @kareem_carr. Statistician that focuses a lot on bias in data science.
@kareem_carr The woke Bayesian mob goes too far once again!
@kareem_carr at this moment, they are not interested in doing science about it. right now, it sounds like they are more interested in discussing their feelings about it. This is an important part of hypothesis generation! I encourage them to be more open about that!
Top tier trolling. I'll amplify.
This plot helped me worry a lot less about anti-black racism. Unfortunately for the racists, the future of humanity is very black.
@efox303 @kareem_carr Convictions don't necessarily mean you committed the crime, especially when you consider that Black people lead the nation in exonerations.
This is a brilliant statistician. You should follow her if you wish to understand data.
This one plot completely changed my perspective on US racial statistics. If you just compare raw numbers between black and white Americans, you're very likely comparing young people to old people. That's why you should almost always ask that the numbers be adjusted for age.
@rdunsheath @THPhilistine @kareem_carr hes done several threads doing exactly what that guy said to do so idk what the fuck youre talking about
The rare win for mode as a summary statistic.
This one plot completely changed my perspective on US racial statistics. If you just compare raw numbers between black and white Americans, you're very likely comparing young people to old people. That's why you should almost always ask that the numbers be adjusted for age.
@kareem_carr Here's what I found for the relationship between age and crime. A car rental company would tell you all of this is a no-brainer. However, it seems difficult to disentangle arrests from differences in enforcement by setting, race, and age.
@kareem_carr Age adjustment is a key to public health research.
@kareem_carr @samswey By the same token, comparing age cohorts often ends up comparing groups with very different racial compositions. Young people are less conservative than older people, partly because young whites are more liberal but also because young people are less white.
@kareem_carr Yup, and you're also comparing very wealthy people to very poor people. The first data I saw that really debunked all these racial statistics for me was seeing the Justice Dept's stats on crime, and how the rates are exactly the same across all races when adjusted for income
#1 Mathematics Podcast in the US! 🥇 Huge thank you to all of our amazing listeners for your support and reviews! 🙌
@kareem_carr I computed a ratio using 2019 UCR and census data. These people attacking you think the ratio of black to white murders, controlling for population, should be 1, or that black people should commit 12.2% of murders. Bet they don’t care men commit 7.45 x more murders than women.
@blamelessjay @kareem_carr @wil_da_beast630 He’s right that it’s misleading. It’s intended to make people think race is the main causal factor in murders by ignoring things like the age of the different populations, as he said.
