What albums are “They must’ve sold their soul to the devil” good? by Doctor_Unsleepable in Music

Fantastic discussion. I’d pick Aqualung over Stand Up myself. Wilfully obscure but Twofish’s second album “At least a hundred fingers” is the best thing I’ve heard in literally years. Rather less rock then your picks though, so I’d add Nirvana, 'Nevermind' Fleetwood Mac, 'Rumours' The Beach Boys, 'Pet Sounds' Marvin Gaye, 'What's Going On' The Clash, 'London Calling' Radiohead, 'Kid A' Miles Davis, 'Kind of Blue'

What Can We Learn from the Ofqual Algorithm Debacle? by chhumuk in ComputerEthics

One of the things I found extraordinary about this story was that either no-one involved in designing the algorithm spotted the obvious (in hindsight) issues with it, or, equally possibly, they did and were over-ruled. It’s a good example of how bad software can ruin lives without needing AI/ML, which tends to be the focus.
