I think it's interesting to compare Switzerland with the neighbouring countries (e.g. France and Germany). I don't know about other companies, but Google Zürich pays much more than Google Paris or Google Berlin/Munich. I t

Exactly. I've been through IRB reviews where the primary question was "Has the data been de-identified to a sufficient standard?" I think this level oversight would be very appropriate here, given how the author doesn't

I am highly unimpressed by this piece. It reads as if its whole purpose is to grab headlines rather than conduct serious scientific inquiry into the current state -- and limitations -- of these AI methods. 1. Which version of GPT did the a

I think this is a general problem with a lot of academic research. When someone develops a new technique for solving some abstract problem (a new graph algorithm, a new type of ML model etc) they want to demonstrate that it has practical a

Point taken, it's an explicit assumption (but still an assumption).

FWIW, case reports are governed by a different set of rules and are not directly comparable to what's described in this article: https://hipaa.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/Case%20Repo...

I don't think this is about education. It's more about religion, sex crime etc.

Doing this sort of thing would typically require approval from an ethics committee (called IRB = Institutional Review Board). From my experience of going through IRB reviews, I would guess that an IRB review for what's described in t

My thoughts: (1) having a cheap car stolen incurs a smaller loss than having an expensive car stolen; and (2) the pool of cheap cars is larger, reducing the probability of a given car getting stolen (unless the "demand", so to spe

There's a ton of ML in Google products (too much if you ask me). Are there particular areas where you feel more would be of benefit? Or are you thinking ML itself as a product (e.g. through Cloud APIs, that sort of thing)?

When you say "by law you can..." and "right-to-repair exists for consumer automobiles" are you taking about the USA or some other jurisdiction? (Genuinely curious; I had no idea such laws existed for cars.)

In Russian, the word "биллион" is mainly of historic interest: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B8... (see the note about "Арифметика" Магницкого.) Since Russia uses a short

1. What's the source of the data? 2. How is the extrapolation done? ("If one were to extrapolate...") 3. The headline (12% drop in the last week) contradicts the body of the post (60% of a 12% difference in the last week). I

My anecdote about Switzerland is that I was once prescribed 20% sick leave, meaning that I had to take a fifth of every day off to tend to my health. It made total sense given my medical circumstances, but the whole concept blew my mind (ev

And GP calling it "4 weeks" is, I think, a bit disingenuous given how those federal holidays are spread through the year and can't really be combined into consecutive weeks off.
