this is cool but the leaderboard is just going to converge on large companies unless it's normalized somehow

just to be clear, it appears you're making up studies, results and explanations for results all in one go, is that right?

tuning defaults for performance feels much more acceptable than tuning defaults for correctness

I feel great about my degree from my third tier college. I learned a lot I didn't expect to, got into a top tier grad school afterwards, and came away with no debt. Maybe me and the millions of other third tier college students are too
