I’d have to guess that new startup founders are building leaner teams leading to slower burn rates and longer run ways. That has value. I think share skepticism is warranted is whether or not old behemoths can retrofit AI efficiency gains i

Anyone know what the deal is with connectors? I don’t see them in the app and they made it sound like Google Calendar would be made broadly available as a connector.

Being fully leveraged is great for capitalism and horrible for your mental health and general well being. Ever live under crushing debt? It’s awful. Step back for a minute and look at the big picture. People are taking on debt to eat lunch.

The smartest people I’ve ever worked with to date were from physics grad school. Still remember the time my coworker was doing code profiling, decided he was unhappy that the exponential function from the standard library was too slow, and

Next gen will probably leverage AI summarization extensively and effectively. They’ll have better tools to efficiently consume information than lawyers in the past.

I’d like to defend the opposite perspective. Kids today are connected to a firehose of information-dense content distributed over the web and through cell phones. They’re consuming more information than any generation in the past, both garb

Am one of the authors cited in the paper. I think the real opportunity for this type of inverse problem estimation work is resolving the shape and fluctuations of the nucleon.

It’s good to periodically reexamine your own positions against that of the majority and be open to realignment and different ideas, but remember that the collective opinion of society over the long term may look back unfavorably on the coll

Physicists model heavy-ion collisions at the LHC using fluid dynamic simulations, and to get accurate predictions of final particle correlations, you need to account for the position fluctuations of discrete protons and neutrons within the

Not sure what point you are trying to make here. Double ML is a valid approach for debiasing confounding effects.

There are quite a few similarities between the Elo rating system and Kalman filters. I’ve always thought this would be a good way to teach them, because you can start with a simplified univariate case, then modify and generalize from there.

My experience in physics was that dissidents were plentiful. It’s easier to poke holes in existing theories than it is to explain why a new theory explains all previous observations. I’m more worried about the reproducibility crisis than I

It’s pretty misleading label for the estimate. It’s the age you get when you reverse extrapolate current physics to the point where current bodies converge in space and time. It’s possible space and time continue beyond that extrapolation p

Your hypothetical actions are insane and you’ve just lost the support of Europe. Moreover, China is calling your bluff because it’s so over the top it looks like bluster.
