Hopefully people are keeping lists of the PIs on these redacted papers and keeping that in mind for future grants, hiring, etc. I know almost nobody is, but one can hope. Academic fraud ranging from plagiarism to outright faking data should

Why did you just copy poorly formatted LLM output into the discussion?

"The Catholic aesthetic" refers to the aesthetic aspects of Catholicism. "Religion is more than an aesthetic" is 100% true but nothing in the vFunct's statement suggests or implies anything to the contrary. So you&#

Commenting on votes is boring (and violates guidelines) but you probably got downvoted because they're talking about "the Catholic aesthetic" which is 100% a thing, and you started responding to "Catholicism is an aesthe

Honestly not even sure it's meant to be a counterfactual experience, just more pointing out that the original comment isn't really germane. "The aesthetics of $THING are really very impressive whether you believe the underlyi

It's been a few years since I was in college, but back in the '00s when it was relevant to me, there was nothing I could do to get cash. I submitted financial aid documents (to include federally-subsidized loans), and money went f

The jamming doesn't discriminate. Domestic armed forces and civilians are also impacted, so "other people" makes sense.

At the risk of turning this into "please describe your setup in increasing detail to me," do you use Spotify for anything? I have a Marantz AVR and honestly it's kind of buggy, but I'm trying to connect directly to it fr

I don't know that they're disagreeing with you, more just pointing out the hypocrisy of people railing against adtech on a forum run by an investment company that has made [tens of?] billions off of... adtech. And countless more o

Once you get more than 1 step removed things just get silly, and I don't just mean with firearms. If someone buys a car legally, and commits vehicular homicide with it, the car salesman is still 100% innocent. If I buy a hammer from Ho

Is sharing your data with a startup or small company any better than sharing it with a big corporation?

How do you know its statistically significant? Nothing in the article (or anywhere else I looked) suggests a "statistically significant" portion of 3rd graders, whatever that means, are being held back.

by pc86 1y ago
And if the kid can't do that at a 3rd grade level at the end of 3rd grade, isn't it much better to have them repeat 3rd grade than to push then into 4th grade and hope something changes?

I think you touched on a key component to this and I'm curious if you agree with me or not. The level of effort expended by teachers in instructing their class varies wildly from teacher to teacher. I'm sure everyone remembers t

by pc86 1y ago
I disagree, I think it points to a core educational policy difference between states. Some states will not fail a 3rd grader, and Mississippi will. This has an obvious impact on 4th grade scores, yes, but I'm willing to bet if you foll

by pc86 1y ago
That could very well explain the decline in Maine's scores. Do we see that decline elsewhere (other than Mississippi at least)? Maybe we can add this to the multi-page list of reasons to ban phones in schools bell-to-bell.

by pc86 1y ago
So explain to me what "eliminating bad data points" in this context means. Should MS schools not hold back failing 3rd graders?

by pc86 1y ago
As far as I can tell this article uses the exact same statistical analysis that every other educational achievement article in the world does. What are they doing that is statistically unsound? How does this article "reek" of it o

I don't want to strawman your argument but it sounds like you're saying that if you're in 3rd grade one year you should be in 4th grade the next year no matter what. That there's nothing you actually need to learn in 3

by pc86 1y ago
It's not impressive if you don't understand statistics I guess. You want to measure the impact of educational policies on students. So you control for other factors that influence educational outcomes, and you try to eliminate tho

I am much less interested in why MS schools are doing so much better - which don't get me wrong, is great, and I hope studied and modeled in better-funded states - than I am in why other schools are doing worse . Taking that first cha

If the educational system is run in some measure by the government, it is going to have political implications regardless.

Who would have thought that not pushing kids forward into an academic environment they're not prepared for would be beneficial?

That's a really interesting thought, I'd love to get involved in software PE/M&A on the technical analysis side but I don't have the academic pedigree for it (it seems every shop that does this work is 90% Ivy and Iv
