I also think people have a tendency to be unrealistic (with themselves and/or others) about why they were fired. I certainly know that in terms of the employees I've let go, the version of events they've told people that got

The IRS says you owe money from past earnings but irs.gov says your balance is zero? Are you sure this isn't a scam for money or personal information?

I feel like this is a point that gets overlooked in the discussion. The IRS ALREADY has software that does your taxes. It's just that currently it's used to validate you did it correctly and they aren't going to tell you the

Pacemakers at least should be a non-issue since the law specifically exempts devices where continuous power is required for the safety of the user. I think an unpowered pacemaker would definitely jeopardize ones safety. But yeah my mind als

Great, so you've updated your knowledge base, it's got garbage targeted to make it attractive to the model, and now your model is outputting garbage. It's the exact same problem Google has fighting the SEO spammers. Now the m

Honestly as long as they second message comes promptly after the first this doesn't bother me at all. It's when the "Hey" is just left out there by itself that annoys me.

by Volundr 3y ago
Yes exactly. I'm agreeing that this is the right alternative and will get a response from me much faster than the empty "Hi". "Hi" <brief description of why I'm reaching out> is always superior.

Huh? You won't update the model you'll just give it new information? The exact concern is that the new information will be garbage aimed at pushing the model to produce certain output. Much like SEO spammers do to manipulate Googl

You keep calling it "environmental terrorism". How are you making that leap without even knowing who did it. Assuming for a moment the Ukraine government is involved (unproven), it seems far more likely they saw an opportunity to

Outreach programs can't be part of the solution? Why not? The suggestion was based on studies that found a high amount of distrust of the medical system.

Well for example we already discussed that black people have worse health outcomes, we could perhaps study why that is and focus on fixing those things, ex through outreach programs. Assume we can fix poverty entirely. We already live in a
