The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong here. "What I know is what makes me the expert. What I don't know is irrelevant".

The definition of Standard deviation is in chapter 1 of Stats 101.

Or as you have made apparent, expect people to have ZERO stats skills!

Some of the innumerate activities I have observed in "expert" data scientists and ML engineers who have years of experience without once thinking about sample sizes

1. Using A/B tests to accept the Null hypothesis instead of rejecting it

2. Squandering away 30M $ in annual revenue because they wanted to avoid a situation/meeting in which they might look like they don't understand statistics. This is hilarious because they simply nodded their head as if they understand all the calculations and then simply dropped any other meetings or followups and left 30M $ on the table

3. Not refreshing a key revenue generating model for 18 months because the were "trying to figure out" why the AUC was improving when the performance on "golden set data" was dropping

4. Using thresholding and aggregation to produce poor quality distorted training data of rich perfectly sampled data

5. Trying to use A/B tests to estimate impact even when the control and variant are not independent

All of the above at FAANGS! My coworkers in a non FAANG company were much more sophisticated. These are the kind of candidates a "build recommendations for youtube" interview selects. Template appliers.

The list of stupidities goes on and on! But yeah, none of them think that a basic understanding of statistics is necessary for work. The good thing about Javascript engineers is that they don't have an understanding of Statistics and are aware of it. However the DS/MLEs are unskilled and unaware of it.
I don't think they actually want you to respond as if you work there. I think most students probably know that. Most likely this question was in a unit about certain types of statistical biases. A is very clearly the correct answer.

Title from quote tweet https://twitter.com/stevestuwill/status/1600251055991726080
William Cochran, best known for Cochran's Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran%27s_theorem), wrote a book about sampling techniques in 1977 (https://ia801409.us.archive.org/35/items/Cochran1977Sampling...) and dedicated an entire chapter (13) on the different approaches you can take for the cases of non-response to voluntary surveys.

One approach that might fit here is similar to what he calls "Double Sampling", which is basically to email the 30 that didn't respond, and even if you get something like 5-10 responses back, you can use that smaller sample to roughly represent the entire 30 that didn't respond. Not perfect (this will increase the error bars for your survey results), but nothing in survey design is.

A few other options are also offered, such as taking a much smaller representative sample, but somehow forcing 100% participation (possibly do-able in some circumstances) to help provide a gradient for the whole population, including those who didn't respond to the initial survey.
> First, he said it was possible, not that she "must have", and advocated for not drawing conclusions without full information.

He didn’t say that it was “possible”, he said it was the “most plausible explanation”. Those statements are not the same because one implies a certainty of truth. He defended this heavily in a 20-something page long email thread.

> I read it as an "I, personally, would not be bothered by this, and it hadn't occurred to me that anyone would be traumatized by it" thing, which would be consistent with his obviously-some-kind-of-neurodivergent mind.

You’re right, he eventually relented and said we probably shouldn’t be doing this. If this were the only questionable thing he had done and he later said “you know what, I was wrong” then I would be much more willing to give him some leeway here. However, that just isn’t the case. His entire academic career has been riddled with inappropriate behavior and misguided statements.

Stallman tried to defend his accused-rapist colleague by asserting that we need to be “scientific” and look at facts. I agree, and the fact is that RMS has a long-standing pattern of behavior that trends towards immoral, misogynistic, and hateful. Scientifically, you can’t cherry pick the one time he doubled back and admitted he was wrong and ignore the overall trend.

If you personally choose to ignore all of this and worship at the cult of personality here, that’s fine. You do you, I’m obviously not going to convince you that zealotry is wrong. But asserting that he’s some paragon of virtue for his humanitarian fight for the freedoms of software is just laughable.

What I find interesting is that, with some complicated tasks, the model will produce output that reiterates some of the key points from earlier, and it can continue to do so for a very long time (i.e. long enough that they'd normally be out of the token window). It feels vaguely like crude short-term memory.
Just a matter of opinion!

In reply to a question on Facebook ("Do you have some examples or use case docs? I'm trying to wrap my head around what I could do with something like this."):

There is a subproject called hydra-extensions (https://github.com/.../hydra.../src/main/haskell/Hydra) where I have started putting examples, but there is no documentation yet. There is a wiki from a recent hackathon at LinkedIn (where I provided Hydra-based tools to the contestants) which I would like to pull out, as well. Here are some things you can do, though: 1) define schemas for your application domain and map them into various mainstream schema languages, 2) define graphs and map them out into various data languages, 3) transport schemas and/or data horizontally between languages -- this was done a lot with Dragon 4) do hybrid things like using a schema expressed in one language to validate data in an unrelated data language 5) define translation pipelines which take schema-conforming data (e.g. JSON conforming to an Avro schema) and turn them into graphs, e.g. RDF graphs conforming to a SHACL shapes graph. Hydra aims to make the boundaries between the languages it supports more permeable.

If evidence is so trivial to provide, then why hasn't it been found? The only readings these activists have taken show average levels of radioisotopes that they turn around and claim are contamination. Why aren't France's neighbors complaining about these spills? Surely neighboring countries would object to their waters being polluted, and they have the resources to detect it. Or does this conspiracy spread beyond France, an international conspiracy of countries colluding to cover up waste?

If I stick a voltmeter on a power distribution center, and the plant workers remove it is it evidence of some sort of nefarious activity? No, because unknown devices being placed in critical infrastructure should be removed and examined.

Greenpeace France have stopped trying to argue waste is being spilled. If nothing else I have to laud your commitment to this theory that waste is being released.

In other words, they lied that vision-only is superior to having a radar, put out a blog post on how Tesla Vision is going to solve FSD and then sold a few hundred thousand cars without radar for over a year.
It depends on what you mean by "learn".

JS is much easier to become bad at quickly, which is not a bad thing.

Lisp is an ever-expanding paradigm, but you can learn it at a steady pace like JS.

JS is directly transferrable to similar-syntax languages, yes.

But Lisp provides insight into techniques that will expand your knowledge and understanding of all programming languages.

> new chips which will optimize these types of calculations and make them more mainstream.

There are quite a few people working on this problem from both the hardware and software side of things. Source: I've talked to a large number of them. It is still early days, but given the level of interest out there to do this, I believe strongly that it will happen.
Not that I support this program, because I don't know much about it to decide, but I know from where I live now if you don't have electricity then you are living a very simple life and probably aren't using that much cash each week anyways.

So, the amount allowed to be withdrawn sounds small but it might not affect those without electricity. Plus, if they don't have electricity there is no ATM and therefore they have all their cash on hand as I know many stories of remote island villages where people just keep money in their house. The best stories are of those who are truly remote but making absolute bank selling kava roots and they come down to the major town and buy new Toyota trucks in all cash stuffed into 25kg bags of rice.
Elon in June 2021;

The probability of safety will be higher with pure vision than vision+radar, not lower. Vision has become so good that radar actually reduces signal/noise.

A very high resolution radar would be better than pure vision, but such a radar does not exist. I mean vision with high res radar would be better than pure vision.

I will be interested to hear when if/they announce this if they quantify how it is used, what exactly it improves, and will it be retrofitted on FSD vehicles.

If I'm taking that test, why would I ever give a confidence estimate other than 0% and 100%? If I think I have a positive expected return, it's worth the risk to go for max points. If I don't, then I don't want to lose less points, I want to not answer at all, or equivalently give it zero weight.

Just to think through this a little bit further. There is a proportion of "free-riders" in every given population, even those without a safety net. Some free-riders will exploit their own children, the government, their family's status, their spouse, or whatever or whoever is at hand. Some people decide they would rather be homeless than exploit anyone. In short, let us acknowledge that free riding is a thing that happens, and that it is usually morally reprehensible.

Which will lead to a more stable society: social safety net, or no social safety net?

In my experience and observation, societies that have protections from poverty seem to be far more stable as compared to societies that do not have them.

Oh, it was 0% valid, and anyone who knows anything about how typewriters work (which you would think Rather, as someone styling himself as an old-school journalist, would know) could tell you in an instant. A partisan viewpoint is exactly the problem here - if you hated Dubya enough, as Rather and the others at CBS apparently did, you were able to punt logic to the curb and believe the story they wanted to believe.

But even if you were ideologically opposed to Bush, this should have been interesting to you too as an example of something not to do. Why not report on the stuff that actually happened and was backed by evidence that wasn't easily-debunkable? Plenty of not-so-flattering things happened during the Bush Jr administration… starting with an unwinnable war in which military contractors made out like bandits.

But I think the yet-still-ongoing three-ring media circus around the Trump administration proved the press learned nothing from this. Oh well. So long as the people instead learn that the press is just as ideologically-driven as anyone - more so, even.

I’m really impressed by Helix and would love to use it, but re-wiring Vim muscle memory developed over a decade or using it feels such a pain. The problem is also not even that if I stop using Helix I’ll have to re-learn Vim bindings, but the fact that I also use Vim bindings whenever I open VSCode, too.

The subtle differences are both good (many things out of Vim work out of the box in Helix) and painful (the ones that don’t give an awkward feeling.

Awkward take on that is that I think if Helix came up a completely different key bindings it would be easier to switch to…

Edit: the differences are not way too dramatic but slightly annoying since many of those are very frequent actions - https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/Migrating-from-Vi...

The point is --- any market manipulation will affect DEX the same as CEX. People often erroneously point to DEX as a way to avoid CEX influence and control. It's not.

> If by “spring” you meant to convey “the second quarter of the Gregorian calendar”, you failed to communicate accurately.

How could I be more clear?

"Given the context, 'spring' is just another way of saying second quarter. ... Indeed, even second quarter breaks down where the Gregorian calendar isn't used, but ..."

I'm really not sure what is missing. Definitely interested in your advice.

Or maybe you're referring to the person who originally used Spring 2022? If that's the case then that wasn't communicated very well. "You" referring to an unrelated third-party is a new one for me.

> Incidentally, a year or two back I heard suggestions that “Q2” may customarily be anchored to financial rather than calendar years in some places. Not sure if this is true.

Definitely true in the right context, but "spring" is used more for general audiences when trying to not sound business-y; particularly when the audience is children. I doubt you will find this usage in a financial context, but definitely with respect to product launches. Something like "Coming Spring 2022" is quite common.

As this pertains to children, it is also not uncommon to see school periods referred to by these same names. e.g. "fall semester", while "summer" is the name of the prolonged vacation period. Because of that, these words are relatable (to those in the geographic region of origin), and is likely why we started seeing them turn up in business contexts, especially in advertising.

Until just seventy five years ago India had been ruled for a century by an emperor in London and an occupying army, exploiting caste discrimination, religious sectarianism and regional rivalries to keep Indians subjugated for the profit of a racist colonial Empire. At partition, the rival religious hacked each other to bits wholesale.
