How good will this local model be compared to, say, your iphone builtin STT?

There's an arbitrariness, a mundaneness to some indelible memories that defies this explanation. Or any explanation like this. It feels partly true. But there's got to be more, in my experience.

I don't know -- these are fair points. I do know that when I was using GH regularly on a team where a number of people wrote clean history, the problems you mentioned didn't come up, not that I can recall. So for the 90% case, le

His performance in games outside the streak is relevant to the prior of his being a cheater, which in turn is highly relevant to how calculate p(cheater | this streak).

This is simply not true. There is a "commits" tab and next button to quickly go through commits on every PR. It's very easy to use. All that you mean is most people ignore it.

What's funny is secure IDs could have easily prevented this but, even if the city discovers it and wants to shut it down now, I'd bet actually fixing the system would be too costly (IDs tend to couple to everything).

I am partially with you on this one. "Yes people often technically have options of not getting screwed but those options almost exist in a different world and in order to choose them you have to abandon the one you are living in now.&q

One reason: Whenever I've made the case personally to friends/family, people who are smart but not interested in messing around with tech, I am usually met with a giant shoulder shrug. Or perhaps, in a best case scenario, "Y

You are making all these theoretical points... do you doubt that people are demonstrably lazy and willing to give up their privacy and control for free or cheap or convenient stuff? I don't see how this is even a contentious point to

You've made a general argument that shows not all theoretical economic theories about free markets can be trusted. Fair enough. But my claim is much narrower. It merely relies on the love of money of real people in our current ec

Thanks for that answer. Re: the privacy benefits, is it just that Google (or whoever) has no access to your mail, or is there another benefit? I'm not doubting, just trying to understand specifically what you protect against? And how

How do you deal with deliverability issues on the self hosted email server. I've always heard that's a hard or at least finicky problem.

This was my reaction. Super impressive. Fun. Does a great job selling the company ethos. But not actually that usable. I don't think this matters too much, though.

Yes. As I said matching the population base rate wouldn't be practical, so you'd need to educate on that separately from the identification learning. Let's say I achieve a 95% on the app though. Most people would have a mas

Yeah that seems likely to be a misclassification...

Cool project, and helpful for learning. One concern: I don't believe the rates that you see "concerning" vs "not-concerning" in the app match the population rates. That is, a random "mole-like spot or thingy&q

He wasn't saying no coding MDs existed. Just that, generally speaking, most MDs would have had to partner with a technical person, which is true. And is now less true than it was before.
