Very interesting and eye-opening talk! I checked one of my old Reddit usernames (I don't really use Reddit anymore) and was gobsmacked at how many (I thought were relatively innocuous) comments that were shadow-banned. And then others

I have never used Twitter, just never saw the appeal. But I have a question, does it also have a method to block people and conversations/topics/keywords or are you just forced to have to have algorithmically chosen tweets pushed

This is obvious. But I do think that the way environment is experienced and interpreted is guided by original personality traits, however it is popular to deny that nature has any effect and nurture is everything. Also have noticed this poi

This should be something that is easy to study! There are many parents with multiple kids (I am one!) and they can tell you if all of them were just a tabula rasa with no personality or if they were all different on day one. I will say that

Not for nothing, and I don't know if it has changed in the last years, but I remember that Walmart's tech division was packed with brains that could easily rival anything in SV. They were just focused on different things.

>Why? This is like saying all car repairs should be done in the same clean room that the Webb telescope was assembled in. Because most car repairs don't have a non-zero outside chance of ending the human species?

The "real" TLDR (and I am not kidding here!) is that you clinch your anus during every answer. It does something to your heartrate, blood pressure, etc. that makes lies indistinguishable from the truth. Also polygraphers know this

I mean this could also just be a list of how honest particular police departments are at reporting (or classifying) property crime. Not necessarily the actual rates.

Obviously this has a prestigious pedigree, considering the author, but I am having trouble understanding what differentiates it from, say J. I see that the operators are written out and it is built in Go, but other than that what is the ben

I mean this is clearly mathematically correct. Who do we talk to about getting this rectified across the entire alphabet?

>I don’t see a difference in those names. I suspect that is because you already have a belief about them and can use that belief to make an informed interrogation of the ideas at hand. If, on the other hand, as I argued above you did not

Related, the Array Cast[0] is pretty good if you are into this sort of thing (or even if you aren't but like listening to very bright devs). The author of BQN, I believe, is frequently on there and I think I remember it being discussed

Framing a belief can matter when it is first presented to a person. For example think about the phrases "reproductive rights" vs. "baby killing" or "estate tax" vs. "death tax". If you are first being

I think they meant that the money would be paid out yearly from profits. Not trickled out to you in "virtual dollars" that may never be worth anything unless your company goes public or gets acquired.

Well, I mean your boss can fire you from the company but you can not fire your boss from the company. So in that sense they are "superior".

Neither were ever used in a pejorative sense exactly, more with a sense of apathy and an even clinical sense that an employee is thought of the same as a widget or a building or a piece of machinery.

No problem! The fast.ai forums and discussion groups are really friendly and will help if you have questions. I will admit that fast.ai goes a little ... fast ... but that is kind of their thing. If you do not have any math-heavy background

The key part is the assumption that in between step 1 and step 2 that productivity and everything related to it remains stable. This is almost certainly never true.

Basically the entire time I was getting a business degree the word "employee" was never even used! Just different forms of "human resources" or "workers".

I like these types of Sudokus[0] they can get challenging. Also these guys[1] have some apps[2] with some pretty difficult ones (some classic Sudoku and some with novel rules). Also, if you are a Sudoku fan, you might want to check out kaku

The way I understand it as a quick rule of thumb is that if you have tabular-type data, try random forests first (decision tree ensemble) and then NN and see which gives you better results. If you have other type of data (images, sound, tex
