I think you are confusing several matters. If I understand your comment right, you are saying that the opiod crisis shows that people do choose drugs if they can and if there was univ. healthcare, then the system would go down under the cos

> Why did everyone assume it would be the same on average? This seems weird to me. (see edit below; but i leave this up; it might be interesting, also) you mean that even for smaller sequences, the UID holds, right? the assumption was th

This is really cool. I am working in a related area and I think most of us have assumed that on average, the information rate is 'about the same' for the languages across the world. So it's exciting to see that their results

1) What really bothered me personally about GPT2 is that they made it look sciency by putting out a paper that looks like other scientific papers -- but then they undermine a key aspect of science: reproducability/verifiability. I str

The analogy breaks down, though - in Google's disfavour and in OP's favour. OP knew that she had something valuable. But she also thought of it as a free good (libre, not gratis). As I interpret it this is because she knew that he

Actually, OP's figures are pretty much backed up by the figures you get when googling this question. Chances to die of a car crash/ any kind of vehicle crash is about 1 in 100 according to here [0]. I can't find something sim

the new macbook air starts at €1349 (ca $1500) in Belgium and you really want the one for €1599 (ca $1800). for the same money, you get other laptops that are really nice with a cost/return ratio that is a lot better. sure, apple produ

Sorry to hear that OP had such a bad experience. I guess as so often, it really depends on which team / division you are interacting with. I was interviewing for Amazon a while back and my experience was mostly positive. I had applied

from my own experience, this is the exception, though. even in CS, if you pick some of the more theoretical problems or a not-so-hot area, you might not get funding - (almost) no matter how good you are. and that's CS. move to other su

maybe it's narrow minded, but for me, investing is all about giving a company mid- to longterm support so that they can expand their business. shorting is none of that. it doesn't create any value for society at large. if anything
