It’s the opposite. Observational studies are very biased by the selection process and the only way to get signal from them is rct.

This finding of shingles and dementia is likely due to “healthy vaccinee” bias as per the link someone else posted below: https://youtu.be/qlTnnQytOJ0?is=XJ0c5pWVV6Lg0IMs As per one of the slides around 7 minutes in, there

This is wonderful. Hopefully this is an extinction level event for all of the toxic degree factories that were created just to take advantage of the non-dischargeable student loans. US tuition almost tripled in the last 15 years but the qua

I happened upon her via Instagram around day 10 and watched her every day. It was really interesting watching her go through this every day and her authentic posts about what she was feeling. It’s truly great seeing people achieve their goa

How can grok create a coding LLM at the same level as OpenAI or Anthropic when they don’t have the same amount of AI talent as the other companies by an order of magnitude? Is it really that easy to train a coding model like that?

No, only since Bernanke. So it’s very recent and not something that was historically done by Fed chairs.

I’ve hated XML since 2004. The worst part about it is the tags vs attributes fights. They both do the same thing and the only difference is preference. Having two ways of doing the same thing invite and incite religious positions and cause

He is worth well over $20M given his title and the skyrocketing of Google stock since 2017. He could have left years ago if he were really so morally outraged. There’s nothing more useless than a multi-millionaire “finally” taking a moral s

Translation: “My GSUs that I received at $35 and upwards for the last 10 years have made me enough money such that I can now finally make the “moral” decision that I’ve always wanted to do but was willing to swallow until I made enough mone

From CS101 it’s called virtual memory. Things get swapped in and out of memory when they need to. An extra 200MB of memory when Chrome takes gigabytes of memory is a petty thing to complain about. How much do you want to bet you don’t even

My biggest pet peeve with all these articles on local AI is the only thing they talk about is tokens per second. No one mentions the quality of the answers. No one. I don't mind waiting a little longer if the quality is better. Quickly

My aunt had the same disease you mention and was on medications since the 90s. She lead a healthy life with no real side effects from her medication and she passed away last year in her 80s. To be perfectly honest, she did die of the diseas

The insane level of flopping with no dignity or shame, and the insane level of allowing this to happen without any penalties is one of the biggest reasons why I don’t watch soccer. Those in charge WANT soccer players to flop but I don’t und

ZIRP created a level of absurd wealth such that the ultra wealthy can buy large swathes of things that they never could before, and they’re doing it. And societal norms and laws can’t keep up with it to protect us from them. Now they are bu

Another bury-your-head-in-the-sand article. It sucks but AI replacing coders is very real. I haven’t coded since last year but I’ve pushed more features at a rate faster than I ever could in my entire career. I pushed new code while chattin

How much on Kalshi to bet that xAI screws over the Cursor folks out of their $10B/60B deal through some loophole? Only desperate people would go work for Elon at this point.

Is Mistral still competitive? I completely forgot they existed because of how much press the Big 3 get (Google, Anthropic and OpenAI).

It's probably never going to happen because neither party cares about protecting Americans rights, but we need to have some sort of law that creates a Chinese firewall between these mass surveillance data and the government, or whoever

The article acts like ibogaine is a newly discovered drug. This is an old hallucinagenix drug that has helped thousands of people get over ptsd. The only thing holding this back is government bureaucracy and red tape. I’m happy that people

In 1996-1998+ they had something called the Brass Ring job fair in the Santa Clara convention center in the heart of Silicon Valley. Employers would set up booths and some would hire people on the spot. 2021-2022 was pretty good as well.

The best way to handle a bully is to fight them tooth and nail even if you're going to get beaten up or you get suspended from school. If you keep fighting them the bullying will stop, and you will also gain some self-esteem.

Your developer didn't have anyone reviewing the work he was checking in? Or he didn't have the common sense to ask anyone else on the team to verify?
