I studied a lot of machine learning, going into the math and whatnot behind it.
In reality these days, you just start some model with a single line of code and you’re set.
You have to know best practices and whatnot, sure, but I fully agree - science and engineering are two different disciplines and should be taught as such.
Oh we’re definitely both in agreement that they’re being dicks. My issue is that the original comment I replied to is essentially victim blaming folks by saying “all you need to do is not consent, boom, problem instantly solved”.
Based on everyone else’s input (notably OP neglected to reply), it’s clear that the best you can do is not go to the venue and hope that results in systemic change.
I wouldn’t bet on that solution.
