It sounds exciting and all but it’s basically a boring government office job, the employees mostly have families, expect regular work hours, etc.

There is no influence. You are just making things up now. Once selected by the President, the judges are independent.

I guess we are at the "deep state is good actually" stage of the process now.

Doesn't matter what you think or didn't do, he is still your President.

They post it on arxiv before they submit the paper for peer review usually. Industry scientists might just post it up on arxiv without peer review because they might not care about putting it on their resume. Lay people trust the peer revie

The highway system must have been done somehow. I don't know the details but there has to be lots of ways to ensure these things get done. Maybe it's lack of political will or maybe it's loss of people who know how to get the

I assume it's the same feeling type theorists have when programmers talks about ducks and whatever other animals. But hey, it works for practical purposes so why not. The academic field probably has to grow bigger for it to have an imp

Yes, that's basically all university research. And it probably follows the 80/20 bad/good rule like pretty much everything. Focusing on the 80% and ignoring the 20% is flawed thinking. Research where large compute resources a

Government agencies have been behind in ML/AI for a long time now and they are still playing catch up, yes. But they do fund academia in the ML space, which is very important since industry goes nowhere without the ML PhDs who did thei

Form is the major thing. I have to get used to the exercise, remember good form, get used to the good form, before ramping up to heavier weights. I don't want to go heavy quick and have problems if I have more fatigue on a particular d

That's insane lol.

There have been a few research articles showing that in the last few years too that says the same thing. The minutes thing won't be true, for heavy weights you need to warm up and ramp up, but yeah it can cut down your gym time signifi

I don't think there is anything wrong with going into maximum-effort "not fun mode. That's how you get really good at something.

You need an entire community of researchers (both academic and non-academics) working on a field for industry to produce tech. It was definitely not a pure industry thing, almost no tech is.

An alternative perspective from someone say in the de-industrialized US Midwest four years after Obama was elected would be something like the following. They voted in Obama. Instead of improving income inequality, life expectancy, educatio

The other big social media apps were banning or suppressing pro-Palestine content during that time, so tiktok was the only place you could post that stuff. Whether they were deliberately pushing it is debatable I suppose. I am fairly certai

There are also a ton of other ethnic groups in China and the government just call them all Han Chinese. Tons of ethnic groups in Russia too. These are countries with very long histories that span a large area, with many areas that were mult

I’t’s very clear now that it was the Palestine support among tiktok users that was the main reason. I’m guessing Israel issues typically get that level of support in congress.

I read the Da Vinci Code very quickly and I enjoyed it. But a different kind of enjoyment, I realized afterwards I basically just read a movie. Very little internal monologue, or some other kind of description that other novels would have,

I wouldn't discount the issue of intellectual capital. There are just a handful of universities in the UK that produce world class level work in CS. While there are dozens of such universities in the US. Numbers like that make a big di

It’s a common complaint on open sourced ML models that they don’t provide or describe the data used to train the model. Sometimes it’s a valid complaint, since it may not be clear what kind of data was used to train the model, and sometimes

The executive branch has the power to decide whether or not to enforce a law. For example, see weed laws not being enforced.

Always know where the data comes from! I see so many examples of people generalizing to the whole population of a country when the data comes from a specific subset.

In that scenario, they would use Russia rather than Middle East for oil shipments in the first place.
