>I think we should revisit the policy of an actual forced savings account - rather than the bad proxies for it: social security, home equity, 401k. I think social security is a far…

So this guy had a few twitter exchanges with Luigi and he thinks the US healthcare system isn't that bad? Doesn't really seem like an article for HN. But as long as we're here I th…

Regarding this part: Clarification of specialty role - Less strict on the direct link between degree/job responsibilities - Recognizes that AI may require multiple academic backgro…

10 people died from the Boars Head contaminated meat. I guess I don't really mind if a few lawyers chase those ambulances and extract a lot of money out of that company?

I thought the issue was deregulation? Something like Trump rolled back some rules about oversight and then Biden never put them back into place? Does the USDA even have the power t…

If you're the only one that can come close. Kaggle competition prizes are about focusing smart people on the same problem. But it's very rare for one team to blow all the others ou…

>characteristic of these use cases is that there is no one right answer I think what you mean is that they work best in cases where it's very hard to measure how well they are work…

Yeah but what made Twitter twitter wasn't really the usercount, it was the mix of established voices and complete randos mixing. If the journalists and economists and politicians g…

I mean what if it is a toss up? Were we talking about a literal, actual coin flipping, calling it as 50-50 is a better insight than calling it as either heads or tails.

I like the dashboarding more than the analysis lol. I think FL is just a red state now and positing it as anything else smells a little fishy to me. Also, I think there's a thing n…

Judging by my twitter feed, some scientists are starting to push back on the use of UMAP (and t-SNE.)

I still don't get the impetus or desire to make NNs work better for tabular data. Regression works pretty well and is easy to interpret/diagnose/work with. GBMs work really well (g…

>On what basis do you believe the explosion was more likely to be Israeli than Hamas? First, you'll notice I never actually said this. >1. Hamas is extremely willing to sacrifice t…

I actually think Nate is wrong on this, especially on how he states the wrong-ness of the two parts of the story. It seems very likely to me that initial death counts were overstat…

Ah, I saw a great tweet that captured a lot of my feelings about this the other day: https://twitter.com/InsightsMachine/status/17018601232984842... >“Data is the new oil.” Clive H…

Maybe for two different definitions of conservative. But it seems easy enough to want to conserve something that the market will destroy, and to realize that one feasible way to do…

Is this not just political polemic?

I guess I'm thinking, okay, so make them do that? If there really is a type of person out there that enjoys providing the free labor of modding so much that they crumple at even a …

Hm? Where's Lehman?

Have they been disproved empirically? I'm well aware of many theoretical arguments against central planning but I'm not aware of empirical work.

Politicization is a ratchet. The conversation has already been politicized, I don't think there's any avoiding it. Second, the discussion for all intents and purposes isn't even ab…

You can read about what is and isn't allowed here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/di... You might also be interested in reading about why the NLRB was fo…

I think the article misses the real dilemma. Think about all the firms who do payroll through Rippling, should those employees and firms suffer because of something they essentiall…

Sometimes that's the best option.

>I would be happy to socialize that upside for higher limits on deposit protection. Glad we agree then, that's pretty much all I'm looking for.
