I never really understood such arguments. Not being combative, just not sure. If we are in a simulation, then why do things like energy matter? Who says those are meaningful in the "real" world. We can only perceive the simulation

If you don't know her qualifications outside of ethical AI, you can't possibly know if "Gebru is doing exactly that in Google" People's motivations and ambitions vary. She may be very skilled in all things AI and y

I have the same reaction with coke zero, but I am perfectly fine with diet coke. Not sure why.

I am not sure why you are arguing. I did not say I know the circumstances of this particular situation. I am not making any claims about the ability of any student to learn and do well in any course. All I am saying is that throwing a bunch

> It is common for affirmative action students to not do very well there. Do you have any data at all for this? No. Only my observation from when I went to IIT for my undergrad about 2 decades ago. At that time they even used to have r

Ok.. I am going to be brave and not going to use a throwaway. I find it perplexing that HN crowd who is usually arguing for a balanced analysis and seeing both viewpoints is suddenly behaving as if this data proves some injustice is current

if you think maths is bad you should take a look at geology. At least mathematicians stick to their names or names of other mathematicians.

Not sure I buy the "narrow overlap of generations" as the main reason for imperfect knowledge. Yes humans don't live long enough. But generations and population ages vary smoothly in a cohort. May be centuries ago, when the e

Your bias is showing. I could say "most Americans are sick of a lying, inept administration that can't be trusted". But I would be accused of being a biased democrat. I suspect the reality is the administration is totally ine

Agreed. I had tried to account for it, but did not write it since I was hoping to avoid a longer comment and those calculations are more fraught with errors.. Edited my parent comment now to include all of it.

Yes. It is worse than a regular flu. But, if you look at statistics from S. Korea, the only country with a substantial infection and trust worthy numbers (as in they test heavily), the death rate is around 0.6% overall. So not the end of th

In the US, websites like repairclinic and partselect have helped me save thousands of dollars in expenses on busted refrigerator and dishwasher. The first time I opened up that dishwasher was an eye opener. Cheap doesn't even begin to

Hahaha. Quite old.. 35... As someone who will turn 40 this year I guess you will call me positively geriatric! Interesting that cutting back has resulted in endurance loss but not the heart rate going back up. But it is reasonable to suppo

Your results are fascinating. I wish I had the discipline to follow such a routine. I think your age is an important factor to consider when it comes to resting heart rate. Will you be comfortable disclosing it?

World endurance record in Cycling, for those wondering how on earth would a person run around 250 miles a day for a whole year. An Incredible feat even on a bike.

We could debate this a long time. I work for an oil company. So I suppose I will be biased, and that makes things difficult. But, I will leave you with this. Are you sure every oil company did this? And by "this" I mean, convinced

After buying two of Cal Newport's book, with an honest attempt to read it fully, I decided to never ever buy another one of his "creations". His books can be compressed to 2 pages without ANY loss of information. So much so,
