There are no known boundaries of the universe. The universe expands everywhere continuously. I think of it as though a little bit of extra volume is injected in between everything on a regular basis. Also when we look out as far back in ti

I just checked and it seems they've finally fixed a problem around this that I had for a long time. Before they implemented this policy I had added several kids videos to my watch later. After implementing the policy I could no longer

I would have thought the same until I moved to a suburb of Seattle. We've had two 5+ day periods of power outage in the last couple years. And it's not like we're exactly in the boonies. Houses in our neighborhood are dense

Wouldn't variance be influenced by a similar bounding effect but this time from the upper side? That is, if your true skill is 98% you aren't going to ever overestimate by more than 2%, but if your true skill is 50% you could be

Even a simpler task like image classification such as: does the picture contain a lion. Imagine you have 3d model of a lion. You can render it from lots of different angles, lighting conditions, backgrounds, stretched out, curled up, etc

I also read this years ago and it has stuck with me to the point I even remembered the yellow background. However, despite being affected by the idea when I read it and still thinking back to it from time to time I can't say it has re

My oversimplification/takeaway: When false negatives are very rare and their costs very high you can't rely on an empirical assessment of a detector's accuracy, it will be near 100%. Because the costs of false negatives are

They may have some details wrong, but do you think their overall impression of the event is wildly inaccurate? There was significant violence perpetrated during that event, even if it didn't result in death. Police officers were beate

We could imagine a very different society with much less consumption of alcohol but people still being equally happy. If someone is made to feel unhappy when they don't drink because everyone around them is doing so, the fact that the

From the toy model it seems like if in addition to distance you could also get your angle to the landmark then you could get your position from a single landmark. Is that something which is practical? Knowing which angle a radio signal cam

A book that has guided my approach (just buy an index fund) is A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. It goes over the history of stock markets and stock picking giving evidence that very few people are going to beat the average

As someone who has spent 4.5 of the last 7 years working from home I'm tired of spending 23+ hour days inside my house. Even one day a week in office meaningfully interacting with others would help my mood.
