In some sense, isn't this overfitting, but "hidden" by the typical feature sets that are observed? Time and time again, some kind of process will identify some simple but absurd adversarial "trick stimulus" that thr

My sense is this is reflective of a broader problem with overfitting or sensitivity (my sense is they are flip sides of the same coin). Ever since the double descent phenomenon started being interpreted as "with enough parameters, you

Are there center or organizations that focus on studying election fraud and manipulation and how to identify it? In a rigorous nonpartisan (to the extent that's possible) way? Organizations that would regularly support and disseminate

Fair enough although that's not the only statistics they cite. More importantly I think they're trying to point out the converse of maybe what you're pointing to, which is that as porn availability increases, if it caused sex

I'm sympathetic to the text file, but for me the problem comes when you have todo lists that you are sharing with someone else, like a spouse. Then you have/want to share and edit them collaboratively. Simple enough, there's

The acceleration is evident in public health trends as well, especially in perinatal and childhood deaths and infectious disease. The last 150-200 years really is remarkable historically speaking. I don't think we've grasped what

That paper is pretty misleading and flies in the face of most peer-reviewed research (I don't know that journal, for what it's worth). My guess is because it was focused on those attending elite institutions: "In their paper

Lol. I do think it's all three, I just think the last doesn't really resonate with some people.

I wish sites would at least give a summary of what they're paywalling. With nothing but the title, I have no idea what they're talking about or whether or not it is something I'd even want to think about paying for. It seems

What I really would like to see is a historical trend analysis seeing whether BLS and nongovernment estimates (public or private) start to decouple about now. If you have enough sources you presumably at least can start to make observations

I think this pattern of behavior needs to be cast as incompetence and cowardice rather than immorality. Avoiding transparency, rigorous analysis, and competitive disagreement and review is a sign that one cannot make a convincing argument,

There's research pointing out "the paranoid style" is everywhere in the world, just controlled or checked to various extents in different places and different times. Still a good read for perspective.

Sadly true and the real mystery for me. The problem and paradox is that it's hundreds of elected representatives and a handful of judges entirely abdicating their responsibility to make it just one guy.

The current system is broken but nothing about this administration is aimed at helping fix its problems. With most actions, there's nothing being remedied, just an assertion of control. The action isn't tied to an improvement goal

I'm not sure how to describe my political inclinations. I've voted libertarian in multiple elections at multiple levels but don't usually vote that way and am not sure I'd use that label. I have mixed feelings too. I don

All money is someone else's money until it's your money. This is as true of private as public sector activities. The problem is what's incentivized to be rewarded with someone else's money. In my opinion, the ultimate pr

Does anyone know what laws they might be pointing to? I realize this is all nonsense, but I'm curious whether there's any sort of plausible deniability whatsoever they can point to (so that in turn can be addressed), or if it&#x27
