Mainstream tends to clown on Jumper, but I had a lot of fun watching it with my pals back then.

Similarly, I'm a grad school student studying AI (well, computer vision). When I called my internet provider to complain and ask for maintenance (a fool with a tall truck ran on ou…

One study about faculty hiring people they know, and the other about high school students cheating on assignments... What was the original claim again?

Given that their publication says the dataset is freely available on Huggingface that's at least something ig

Now, I don't know anything about neuroscience or brain development, but hopefully I can explain the statistics in a way useful to you. Imagine there are two groups A and B. One gro…

I don't think this is the slam dunk you think this is. LinkedIn's existence is, in fact, a net negative for the human race.

We must know, we will know.

OGame and Travian are two names that really take me back. Those and Tribal Wars, I played them a lot back when I was a teenager.

Regulatory capture is an ugly thing.

Idk about interviewing, but there are many benefits to opening fake job listing (gathering a database of people, keeping track of people looking for jobs, etc) which is why people …

It's fine, in the future we will all subscribe to the self driving robot taxi, own nothing, and be (un)happy

True. There's Morita's a mathematical gift for the same audience

That's common with mathematics books. Weil's Basic Number Theory is enough to give the unsuspecting quite the fright, despite the name

Cargo cult mathematics

If someone is working but still needs welfare then the state is just subsiding company payrolls by indirect means. Strongly disagree that gig work is fine as long as there is welfa…

As one of the professors I had undergrad classes with liked to say "Economics is the only field where you can be awarded the Nobel prize for showing A and then next year someone ge…

I abandoned Windows over 10 years ago, when a mandatory Windows 10 update rewrote by UEFI partition and messed up my dual boot setup. It took me an entire evening to fix, at which …

Don't get me started, I have seem repos that I'm fairly sure never ran in their presented form. A guy in our lab thinks authors purposefully mess up their code when publishing on G…
