If having a job is still marginally better than not having it, it's a sign of an efficient labor market. (Market inefficiencies is where everything that is nice, beautiful, good, human , lives.)

LLMs are DEI-aware, as over past few years, their vendors all had various high profile news stories with their models and their default biases, so it's more likely they'll heavily discriminate in favor of minority candidates, no

You don't need peer reviewed studies to tell you water is wet. Peer review is a technique to get evidence from data when SNR is low. It's not "science", it's just a technique. So is "throwing shit at a wall and

Yes, this is, in fact, how adoption of table saws and other such tools looked like, while they were still new tools. The basic form and function was established and its utility proven in both testing and early adopters, but as new kind of g

Nobody started out with that conclusions. The tests and experiments and workshops and consulting with select employees you propose, were all done 2-3 years ago. Results are in, but a chunk of population decides to ignore them and obstinat

Assuming that normies cannot understand gradients or feedback loops is IMO the source of a large amount of "tactical-level" problems in society, particularly around healthcare, taxation, and politics. The better alternative would

Good faith starts with understanding that "90" in P90 is an arbitrary number, and that the exact sampling threshold is not important to why anyone cares about that metric.

Huh, you're right, scribes copying texts are actually a great analogy for evolutionary perspective on life! The information in the books is what matters, and from the POV of a scribe, a book is useful only so that it can be copied, and

10ft vs 20ft is factor of 2 difference in height, 1ft vs 10ft is factor of 10. Also how it translates to difference in damage depends on how elastic is the collision. If the balls are made of rubber, things get much less dramatic, and energ
