You could apply this with slightly different specifics to many US national and multinational corporations.

The efficient market rewards inefficient stock buybacks, record debt fueled dividends, years of underinvestment, low wages, and most of all no strings attached bailouts. They may be a loser, but we'll pay for their loss. Socialize the losses/costs and privatize the gains.
Almost everyone living in the US has some sort of record. They went to school, had friends, teachers, family, etc.

It's unlikely you wouldn't know someone has disappeared, especially if they were important enough that the government decided to illegally disappear them.
It does have an impact on tax and budget policy - something the president is directly involved in.

If deficit spending is driving up the cost of living for most Americans, is now a good time to do it. If Most Americans are having more trouble paying their bills, should we increase government spending.
I stopped using my bank's online service the day they required a proprietary service[1] installed. It is very inconvenient, I have to go the physical agency to get info I could get from my pocket anywhere, but that is the price I'm willing to pay if they require me to continuously run proprietary code on my own device.

I work for a company where this happened, the only one I'm aware of in the United States. What happened here, in Northern Utah, is that a local TV station created a classifieds product and put it online. The engineer's with the idea fought to provide it as a free service to the community and the TV station eventually agreed.

It's no longer owned by the TV station but that business continues to thrive in spite of Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and all the other entrants into the market. I hope we can continue to keep it alive well into the future.
The communist party was ousted from control of government in West Bengal in 2011[1]. Manufacturing growth is actually down since then[2]. And relevant to the current topic, Indian scam calls have only been an issue in the past decade. A decade of non-communist rule seems to either not improved things much or made things worse. The issue is more complicated than "communism bad".

Looks like Microsoft is going to be subsidizing Netflix for a while since they have promised guaranteed revenue no matter how bad it turns out. Nice to know that by using Windows somebody else can get cheaper Netflix.

Microsoft's Bing has been an also ran next to Google not because the search results are worse but it earns pennies in advertising revenues compared to Google's dollars. On top of that they bought Xandr, AT&T's failing advertising business. What can you say? -1 + -1 = -2.
I honestly wondered the same thing during the VW emissions scandal.

The requirement was that diesel emissions were at a certain level under those exact conditions... And they were OK under those exact exact conditions.

(Anyway it turned out there was a specific carve out for cheater devices and they did get in trouble)
I pay my taxes voluntarily.

I can walk around outside and see the officers patrolling the streets because my tax dollars paid for them to be there, and the thousands of cars driving on those streets daily because my tax dollars paid for the maintenance on those roads.

I can look up in the sky and see blue, and I can see the mountains dozens (or in some cases, hundreds) of miles away, because local air quality agencies have been cracking down on polluters. I can swim in the ocean because multiple agencies have been regulating polluters, and cleaning the water, so that it is safe for human activity.

I can visit 3 national parks and dozens of state parks within a 4 hour drive, all paid for by my tax dollars.

And, oddly enough, in all my years as a tax professional, I've only seen one person go to jail for not paying taxes: Wesley Snipes. Everyone else just pays the penalties and fines and moves on with their lives.
I'm curious on this claim. Feels like any model can over fit.
Yes, there are lots of solutions if there is a genuine attempt to solve the problem and not just dance around it.

Political calls and texts should absolutely be blockable by users if they so choose.

Cost-based calling may not be practical, IMO. I look at the amount of junk mail I get from the USPS and I am not sure a "sender pays" approach would result in a meaningful reduction with a cost structure that didn't also impact regular users. A rate-limiting approach on call origination could work, but in the end I still think that a simple that gives the users control to block unwanted calls/texts, coupled with an origination source validation would solve most of the problem. There is nothing preventing us from capturing and passing accurate call origination data.

If you train your ensemble long enough, won't it overfit too?
This is a disingenuous pattern of argument. You point out a known problem and then throw the baby out with the bath water. In this case, its clear voting does have some effect because seats are constantly changing parties, and parties fiercely compete for votes.

Other similar examples of this argument:

"Everyone knows taxes go to corrupt corporations, they are completely useless get rid of them"

"Everyone knows masks dont block 100% of airflow, theyre completely useless!"
Being swamped can serve as a form of passive-aggressive back-pressure: a way to indicate to not even be approached with new work as you're at capacity. Unfortunately, sometimes it's the only back-pressure that managers understand. They get so dead-set on having everyone giving "110%!" without realizing that's catastrophic and that slack is necessary to remain resilient, both in services and in people.
Have you ever tried these compounds? At lower doses, there's really no significant visuals or hallucinating at all. It's more like it gives you different perspectives, different ways of thinking, strategies for being happier, strategies for dealing with difficult issues in your life.

With the trends of microdosing, I think the lower dosage trips will be much more popular.

With that being said - it's not for everyone, and could be bad for some people. I'm all for the personal responsibility aspect and being able to decide for myself.
Heh... JSON was fine, until everything adopted it.

What’s the strangest thing you ever found in a book?
Yeah, I looked into it on my own early in my career, and I thought "Damn, I'd have to save two million dollars to live in retirement off 50k a year for forty years"

Turns out the numbers are a lot more favorable, though. You can count on some level of compounding investment growth even after inflation, you can slash your living expenses after you retire, etc. Suddenly early retirement is a possibility even at a pretty modest income level, without compromising your quality of life too much in the mean time

I've seen this literature used before, you can make such a claim if you are a transmitter of data, e.g. a SMS carrier. However this would certainly fall flat on its face if you were a actual EHR / EMR.
It also matters because even if the causes of recession are baked into the pie, what is done in the current day determines how the country will respond or recover from that recession.

There is a lot more to the world than allocating blame. For example identifying problems and solutions for those problems.
Glad I wasn't the only one that had this start playing in my head when I read the headline.
> The accountants took over the company, and the good engineers left.

As an accountant, I would quibble with this aspersion and lay the blame with management and other, broader issues.

> It is kind of obvious when you chat with all the sad employees: Why didn't you leave? And then you realise that the ones, who are left, are the ones who couldn't get a job elsewhere.

This seems true of many companies. Many of us are just playing musical chairs with our careers and jobs trying to find that job that doesn't suck.

Seems good. My biggest problem with Teams isn't performance though, which has generally been fine for me on the Mac M1 chip, but how awful a lot of their text formatting is.

Try creating a code block (``` followed by a space), or inline code (`my code`), or even a quote block (> heya) and you'll see how inferior the UX is to Slack. Losing the ability to exit the created block is the biggest flaw, but it's also extremely tricky to just get things to look how you expect them.

Also, this is kind of dumber but I really wish there were more emoji reaponses. Slack got me used to responding to messages with whatever emoji fits my actual mood (big fan of and ), but in Teams you have to choose one of six for no obvious reason.

How comfortable do you feel making these kinds of recommendations?

I feel like during my lifetime overall nutritional guidance has swung on plenty of things. One example would be eggs - "those are good for you, no wait they're bad and drive up your cholesterol, no wait, the cholesterol in eggs doesn't seem to raise cholesterol in humans who consume eggs".

I can see where you'd feel you have an edge by measuring each individual's blood over time and you can see how test results change after making changes in diet or behavior - except maybe you aren't factoring in so many other changes. Maybe I moved somewhere colder and I'm getting less sunlight. Maybe I got COVID. Maybe I took up swimming. Ok, so now a blood test is showing that I'm at a slightly higher risk for a disease - do I follow Iollo's dietary guidance? Do I try to get more Vitamin D? Do I just write it off as noise?
There's definitely risk in the sense that YC invests in relatively risky companies, and anything that negatively impacts the long-term value of those businesses ultimately impacts YC. From, like, an accounting perspective, I have no idea when YC marks gains or losses to market or whether that timing coincides with other market participants or the companies themselves.

Either way, in the context of the top-level commenter's question, it's worth emphasizing that a change in valuation isn't a cash flow. YC doesn't get an influx of cash to invest when the value of its portfolio companies goes up, and it doesn't have to give up cash that it could otherwise invest when those companies' valuations go down.
>> PhD students in the EU make less than students in the US! And virtually all of them in the US get full benefits.

> This is completely false.

Then you don't know the US system. As evidenced by the fact that you say:

> With +16% in bonuses, paid vacations, paid sick days, etc. With bonus the salary is 32364-40600 Which is more than 90% of US stipends.

Every PhD student at every university I've ever seen has paid vacation, paid sick days, etc. Conference travel all around the world, at levels that EU universities can't match. As a PhD student my program basically paid for vacations in: China, 4 different EU countries, 5-6 different US states + Hawaii + Alaska, Japan, etc. There are plenty of bonuses and perks.

> The absolute highest stipends in the US ... They also do not receive anywhere near the same benefits as in UVA.

I'm at one of these places. In terms of benefits, we far outstrip the EU. The flexibility we have to spend money on travel, equipment, perks, is incomparable.

But let's take a step back. You started by saying that this problem is solved in the EU and now you backtracked to arguing about +/-10% salary. Big deal.

The EU is expensive, it pays poorly. You want to argue the US is a little worse. But your statement that this problem is solved in the EU couldn't be further from the truth.
> Results show that tree-based models remain state-of-the-art on medium-sized data (∼10K samples) even without accounting for their superior speed.

Is that really "medium"? That seems very small to me. MNIST has 60,000 samples and ImageNet has millions.

I think the title overstates the findings. I'd be interested to hear how these methods compare on much larger datasets. Is there a threshold at which deep learning outperforms tree-based models?

Edit: They touch on this in the appendix:

> A.2.2 Large-sized datasets

> We extend our benchmark to large-scale datasets: in Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12, we compare the results
of our models on the same set of datasets, in large-size (train set truncated to 50,000 samples) and
medium-size (train set truncated to 10,000 samples) settings.

> We only keep datasets with more than 50,000 samples and restrict the train set size to 50,000 samples
(vs 10,000 samples for the medium-sized benchmark). Unfortunately, this excludes a lot of datasets,
which makes the comparison less clear. However, it seems that, in most cases, increasing the train set
size reduces the gap between neural networks and tree-based models. We leave a rigorous study of
this trend to future work.

I've thought this would be a good solution for years. I would like if you could choose the amount to charge people to call you that aren't on your white list. You get 90% of that and the phone company gets 10%. A win-win-win for you the, the phone company, and people trying to talk to you. I would probably set to a dollar or two. Warren Buffet or Elon Musk could set it to $10 million put you would probably need and escrow account for that amount of money.

> [Researchers] analyzed physical activity data [from an accelerometer worn on their upper thigh for seven days] from 2,550 volunteers aged 30 to 94 years, as well as brain images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [which] provided information particularly on brain volume and thickness of the cortex

> [Fabienne Fox, neuroscientist :] «We were able to show that physical activity had a noticeable effect on almost all brain regions investigated. Generally, we can say that the higher and more intense the physical activity, the larger the brain regions were, either with regard to volume or cortical thickness» [...] However, the dimensions of the brain regions do not increase linearly with physical activity. The research team found the largest, almost sudden volume increase when comparing inactive and only moderately physically active study participants

> Larger brain volumes provide better protection against neurodegeneration than smaller ones

> «Our study results indicate that even small behavioral changes, such as walking 15 minutes a day or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, may have a substantial positive effect on the brain»

> The brain regions that benefited most from physical activity [were those known for] particularly active ... genes that are essential for the functioning of mitochondria

> The bioinformatic analysis further showed that there is a large overlap between genes whose expression is affected by physical activity and those that are impacted by neurodegenerative diseases

> Physical activity dose and intensity were independently associated with larger brain volumes, grey matter density and cortical thickness of several brain regions. The effects of physical activity on brain volume were most pronounced at low physical activity quantities ... For example, more time spent in moderate-to-vigorous intensity activities was associated with greater total grey matter volume, but the relation leveled off with more activity (standardized ß [95% confidence intervals]: 1.37 [0.35, 2.39] and -0.70 [-1.25, -0.15] for the linear and quadratic terms, respectively). The strongest effects of physical activity were observed in motor regions and cortical regions enriched for genes involved in mitochondrial respiration
There are a lot of comments about async ORM, but to me the support for application-level (e.g. if you use forms, admin, DRF, Graphene) validation of DB-level constraints is a super cool feature that solves a real pain point - having to duplicate this logic at both levels, or forgetting to do so.
I don't buy it. Discs are a fragile medium for storing anything, especially media that you intend to read-write to on-the-go. Putting a disc drive in your iPhone wouldn't significantly improve the device (besides maybe yielding a few TBs of storage), and the seek times for accessing regular content would probably necessitate a kernel-level rewrite of how asset streaming is handled. Nevermind the abysmal shock resistance and risk for mechanical failure, the tradeoffs of mechanical storage are downright clunky when compared to the simplicity of flash storage.

Any reference for this claim? In my opinion this is most certainly not the case - random forests are hard to overfit compared to gradient boosted trees but you can overfit with them too if you don't tune your parameters right.

Overfitting is generally a function of the the size of your data and the complexity expressible in your model.

Random forests can overfit, but they naturally have fewer parameters than nets, so don't overfit as a function of training time.

Neural nets have far more parameters and so are susceptible to overfitting with more training time.
