Matt Stoller can't look at a problem and see anything but lack of regulation at fault... If you would like to read a thread on what is causing blockages from someone who actually knows the sector and actually visited the port of LA, yo

There is almost always some way to do more work and get more accuracy (e.g. getting MRIs from 2 different places, having 2 groups analyze them, etc), but we don't generally do all these things because there are costs involved. Converse

There are ways to predict what will happen besides randomized controlled trials.

Even if you accept the premise that the only responsibility a government has is to its citizens (which I do not), the interests of citizens are usually often in conflict with one another.

Why should the government be protecting software engineers from competition at the cost of other people who would pay a higher price for our labor?

I'm looking forward to seeing the follow up post on what sorts of ranges this philosophy turns into. Most companies that I have seen post their bands massively underpay people.

I think people here need to realize that in terms of preference, they are massive outliers. While you can conceptualize recommendations for things you have not bought as Ads, there is likely no money changing hands here for these to display

I am so tired of these articles. It's easy click-bait, but maybe a news organization and do some reporting on the actual living conditions for minimum wage workers since they're clearly living somewhere.

My depressing "wild" take is that the world population will peak in ~2100, and since life (human, covid, etc) is driven by exponential growth, world population will begin shrinking and we will soon see the end of the end of the hu

This was really impressive until I realized that it has probably seen these exact prompt -> code mappings on some leetcode solution forum.

Being able to tell if a model has been trained enough without reference to a separate dev set seems like a useful capability, but how can you actually turn these plots into a decision criteria? Why is a modal alpha of 4 high, but an alpha o

This is clearly true, but this is also far cheaper that we could get this capability if we were to really staff a project. If there are volunteers who are capable of and want to contribute to the information commons and are merely constrain

I do not find "The ugly" very compelling since most developers are not very good at keeping their signing keys secure.

Why is a real fulfilment centre better? I can see an Amazon centre with robots etc being more efficient, but other warehouses seem no more efficient than going through shelves at a walmart.

I came away from this convinced that somebody needs to build a data sharing system for medical images. If there was a system for sharing images that had existed before Covid and enough data had been contributed that reviewers could demand e

The ArXiv timestamp/paper is public, so even if the conference doesn't do the right thing, you should still be able to submit it elsewhere.

I think its an admission that the near term benefits are from applications of existing tech, not AGI, and they have hired for folks who want to do research, not people who want to do the grueling work of making a startup. This is fine thoug

by Eridrus 5y ago
The other way to mitigate this is to put your work on ArXiv before submitting it to conferences/journals, which is becoming more and more acceptable in at least some CS sub-fields.

Sure, define your terms & odds, I'll take your money.

Besides having dry-run support, I think this gets to the question of what the level of abstraction should be, and I think that is clearly application-specific. Maybe in your case the level you are trying to report dry-run information at is

We're in a thread talking about how equity compensation at startups is generally not sufficient to overcome the pay cut that folks would take from working at a top tier tech company, so even if you come at this from a purely transactio

Stable doesn't really describe early stage startups at all. Just because there is a paycheck doesn't mean there will be one when a big account falls through. But anyway, I would urge founders to think more about the logarithmic ut

It's extra funny since YC asks applicants to also submit a short video pitch, which is basically a TikTok.

What you're describing is effectively what doctors did: they left their entire calendar free until the last moment and only took appointments then. It turns out this is not actually what people want; people want this availability to ex

by Eridrus 6y ago
It's really hard to design a not game-able metric. The problem here seems to be that doctors are under-provisioned for some reason, and so long wait times are a form of load shedding for the system. Without addressing this core issue,
