Prisoners dilemma also works with appropriately sized losses, which is what this is.

I think it is a step forward to pay users for data. Of course, amazon still collects everything it can anyway, for free. But in principle, this is good. But two things. 1. What is the correct price? Amazon is doing this to better discrimina

Hm, the article in the op states the opposite - we are much closer to omnivores than herbivores. Who is right?

I think the most important info is in the second chapter: Humans and mountain gorillas (say) do not have the same digestive system. We are not herbivores, and we do not have the capacity to extract nutrients only from raw vegetables and lea

One contention I have with this description (if I understand it at all), is that the projection into the linear space does not preserve the properties of changes in a relation graph. I mean I "think" I said pretty much the same in

As you know the basic idea, which precedes word2vec, is to classify each word in certain meaningful vector dimensions, for example "furryness" for pets. If you code this manually, it makes sense to manipulate directions. For examp

You probably want to emphasize what you bring to the table, and de emphasize what other approaches are not. This discussion started not because your product idea is bad, but rather because your pitch included trying to tell us that what thi

Yeah and this group tries to make it less of a luxury and more of a regular thing. Thats is what we should strive for. I really do think that our body has a different physical reaction to being close with others. We are monkeys, basically.

The article states it is a large problem for young people. How do you know it is a bigger problem for old people?

Good on you, but i think chat apps are not the solution. For physical and mental health, we need real face to face connections, in person and not online. Young people use many chat apps and even topic based groups and sites, set depression

We know that putting people in concentration camps by the millions is effective. It takes a particular kind of cruelty to see the world from the eye of effectiveness only, and that thinking propagates through society. No surprise that Chine

Of note here is that the American lunatics and the Chinese lunatics exactly evoke the opposite concern in people. For the United States, many land owners were concerned with these radical ideas of free people and a republic, e.g. breaking a

Different things to care about. I have worked on stats in research, start ups and at large banks. A lot of production/infrastructure related things certainly profit from the points you mention. But 99% of statistical applications I hav

Makes sense to write it in Julia. Pretty much the only non commercial language that deals natively with mathematical objects in a way that makes sense to non CS people doing statistics. Plus, it is fast out of the box. Like, when I first sa

High price demand is filled before low price demand. In the context of limited space and inability to, say, build high (as in Berlin), what you propose could literally mean that there is no housing for the poor.

A further hint, here is a great book about causal analysis from a ML/AI perspective https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/elements-causal-inference I feel like you will benefit from reading this! It's free!

I am neither American nor Chinese, but there is a qualitative difference. In the USA, i can say whatever I damn please. In China, I can not talk about certain topics. Whether or not both CCP and FBI bug my phone, I do not know. However, Chi

This also relates to organizational fit. The so called "contigency theory" has long said that the optimal organization depends on context. Sadly, this context was usually defined to be outside of the firm. The area of "intern

The approach is formally correct. You always have to make sure these values actually exist, but otherwise it goes through. The example is probably not the very best, but P(D) may make more sense if you think of the following: If D equals th

If I were the author, I would drop things like temperature unless I am willing to discuss nonlinear transformations thereof. Instead, why not simplify it down to D=Freshness of Coffee Beans ?

And by the way, I can come up with a good number of (drastic, hypothetical) policy interventions that would break your inference about a market crash - an inference you only were able to make once you saw such a market crash at least once.

I am at loss at what you want to say to me, but let me reiterate: Any learning model by itself is a statistical model. Statistical models are never automatically causal models, albeit causal models are statistical models. Several causal mod
