Completely agree! It's not even clear who is asking. Causality is erased, as you say. "I have an ask for you" - is it my ask? Am I conveying somebody else's ask? Who knows? It's atemporal, acausal, you can choose

Exactly - this kind of research is repugnant and hopefully will be seen the same way phrenology is seen.

A paper I once found really illuminating on what a kalman filter was and how it related to a similar models is "A Unifying Review of Linear Gaussian Models", by Sam Roweis and Zoubin Ghahramani. It can be found here in pdf format:

I've had a few short-term contracts (3 months or less) at £950-1100/day as a staff level data scientist, although those are usually 'exceptional need' situations where the company has their back against a wall for some r

Modern sound mixing makes it so difficult to hear dialogue that it's practically required for most films in my experience.

Interestingly enough, passing even the most complex example in the link to GPT-3 with the prompt "What does this code output when run?" returns the correct result.

Essentially means to play poorly on purpose, with the intent on making the opposing team stronger, or to give them a strategic advantage against your team. People do this to ruin games for whatever reason, it's a phenomena which persis

(Assuming you mean AC) - HVAC systems are generally designed to keep air flowing through the building optimally, which may include control systems for attenuating fans, exterior building air intake, and whatnot as a function of sensor measu

I wonder how this will affect attitudes towards schooling as an institution in general in the future? These children will grow up and take their places as policymakers, parents and so on - will they value school more, or less? Perhaps we&#x

I hadn't considered how bad public transport might be in terms of ventilation, but it makes sense. I wonder how bad the London tube might be on a busy day? It's unfortunate that research on the impact of Co2 concentration on cogni

The author could have probably shed a tad more light on why they feel music apps (spotify et al) are bad. I agree with them though - these apps are atrocious to use, and seem to be continually getting worse. Some of my ongoing complaints ab

For individuals with certain auto-immune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis), the medication they're on can also interfere with b12 absorption - such as methotrexate. This is a possible consequence of what you mention regarding absor

Hey, I noticed that you explicitly mentioned that you found a female md that was the one to ultimately make the correct diagnosis. Do you feel that the previous md's (males?) were unwilling to consider they should conduct a tick panel

I agree with the other commenter and feel the connotations of your post, the hints at your enjoyment at the prospect of this potential future - are disturbing.

Yep - I also used to use airbnb without even thinking twice about it in Europe. Last few trips have been getting steadily worse, culminating in a stay where the residence was completely unsuitable for habitation (extremely cold & heatin

Isn't the VQ-VAE/dVAE generator approach in the DALL-E models quite a bit cheaper computationally than latent diffusion models? My understanding was that diffusion models were quite a bit more expensive, but yielded richer latent

Practice! I forced myself into so many social situations, over and over again. I went to speed date nights on my own. I went to bars to try to talk to strangers. It was so painful at first. I embarrassed myself. I was foolish and awkward. B

This blog seems to come up because the author voices a sort of plainly spoken view of their experiences in tech companies and people kinda commiserate with it. Maybe it's a condemnation of the regular viewership here (and myself), but

I think the startup has to genuinely care to begin with. And often they just don't have the expertise to realise what they're falling short on.

One of the things that endeared me most to my current big tech employer was the understanding that it would be weeks before I could do anything. Yeah. I sat through the sessions and followed along. But the internal docs were sorta out of da

In addition to this, their company (or its parent) funded the trial too.

Borderline of being a staff-level machine learning engineer at a large technology company, and despite getting an exceptional review (and completing a major product delivery), I will also be getting a sub-inflation comp adjustment. Already

It's not clear what we can actually do to help. I work as a web-sec machine learning researcher, and I'd like to help. But anything I can do is probably illegal in my country or a breach of contract with my employer :(

When I read the title, I had a very different idea in mind for what the content of the article would be. I think it's interesting to apply a sort of topographical analysis to the virtual regions of WoW to try to understand why they&#

Although it would be a world very different from ours, I wonder what the consequences of an ad-ban would be? You create a business or service, but the only way an individual could discover it is by intentionally going out and seeking that i

For many people, it's more than just a jab, it's 1-3 days of being quite unwell. I have no underlying health conditions, but I've been bedridden by my 2nd shot and booster shots, with a high fever, fatigue, dizziness, and ach

For any kind of research or experimental work, I cannot imagine using anything other than PyTorch, with the caveat that I do think JAX is extremely impressive and I've been meaning to learn more about it for a while. Even though I&#x27
