I do agree to some extent, but really the overweight threshold for BMI is 25. And 30 for obese. At 6 feet / 183 cm that it takes 184 lbs / 83 kg to be overweight. From what I could find, for regular gymgoers the typical weight for

Yes, it is a pretty high level metric with good correlation a bunch of diseases, but really many of these is because it is ALSO correlated to percent of fat, which is often the more relevant metric. But as you said BMI is so much simpler to

Same for France and Spain, which is what I am familiar with. I am expecting it to be true all around. The map of France shows maybe 100 castles? If you include castles, forts and chateaux (which it seems the map aims to do) France has aroun

I know, I am in the same range of points and still asking questions has always been a bit scary. I remember spending 2h writing a question for what I thought was a complex c++/compiler issue. 10s of thousands of lines proprietary codeb

The evidence that humans would naturally be designed to sleep “multiple times a day” is quite mixed. “Multiple” does a lot of heavy lifting here, when basically most evidence points to two batches, following either of these patterns: - a lo

Well of course as you pointed out the legitimate one would be copying voices WITH permission (yours, someone you know who gives authorization, through contracts for movies/bots etc). The model can’t differentiate between voices for whi

This drives me crazy when dealing with various contractors in my area. They often only answer by text, and can take a little while to do so. Not a big deal. But If I send a message with more than one question, there is what feels like a 10%

From looking at how that was done, it seems they (the paper you linked) used an older paper which looked at which names are frequent enough and more biased toward a certain demographic (90% of that name occurrence falls within that demograp

Yes possible. But really that video of them features the word prominently (even on the thumbnail) AND that vocabulary estimation website. The video/podcast is just slightly over a week old. Anyway doesn’t really matter, it was more to

Not sure how to understand that. You mean as the best engineers? Funnily at my company, the few engineer that did the majority of the work before AI still do the majority of the work now. By majority I mean tackling both more issues and bet

I have a similar issue. I tend to have a very “structured” type of writing. Say on slack or Reddit for example. Using markdown formatting. Lists with bulletpoints etc. And I tend to write long detailed explanations, sometimes too long if I

Yes. I mean if you look at the corpus basically HALF of recipes are Chinese/Korean. They do quickly acknowledge it, but definitely not a balanced set.

I still love learning, especially outside of tech. Been working in the ML field for over 8 years, and while I went into it because I liked the field, I did lose some interest in learning things, but mostly because of the sheer volume of pub

I also like meaningful commit names. But am sometimes guilty of “hope this works now” commits, but they always follow a first fix that it turns out didn’t cut it. I work on a lot of 2D system, and the only way to debug is often to plot 1000

I mean “mistakes” can be hard to define. IMHO there is an area of responsibility between the LLM, the LLM user, and the code itself. Did it make a mistake because I didn’t follow instructions properly or hallucinated some content? Did it ma

I have still mixed feelings about LLMs. If I take the example of code, but that extends to many domains, it can sometimes produce near perfect architecture and implementation if I give it enough details about the technical details and fallp

I mean I do agree, and on iNat I can clearly see my house and the house of a few other people in the neighborhood. However you can easily find the current owner information for a given house in the state I live in, and since we bought the h

I am not sure, but you don’t have to technically bet on assassination. You can bet on an event which would happen as a result of said assassination. X won’t get re-elected. Company Y CEO will change in 2027. This is artist Z last tour. Athl

The issue is the combined risk of insider trading coupled with the bias of disaster-centric betting, or at least event-centric betting. This means if you have the means to create an “out of the ordinary” event you have a strong incentive to

Arguably so is “aim/ein etc” and “in”, though more dialect dependent and more subtle. The former for me have a bit more exhale and round sound while the “in” are a tad drier. For example “fin” and “faim” are distinct for me. However “f

I am curious about how much energy needs to be expanded to contain the anti-matter. Say it the matter/anti-matter is to be used for propulsion/energy generation can we reach a threshold were we are actually energy positive

Yes it feels like a full time job just to try to keep up. And I’ve been in AI for close to 10 years so I feel like I have to keep up at least a minimum. An other thing for me is that it has gotten a lot harder for small teams with few resso

Might be surprising but I am kinda willing to believe it. Since we bought our house, we had quite a bit of work done by professionals. But whenever I can I do things myself. Like I had multiple companies quote me $300-500 based on the job f

I remember having to describe a standard model to predict online shopping behaviors for my ML class exam in university. That was close to 10 years ago now. Also remember a teacher telling us about that story of a company finding a woman was

For me, the main thing is to never have it write anything based on the goal (what the end result should look like and how it should behave). And only on the implementation details (and coding practices that I like). Sure it is not as fast t

We do lose something, but really I still see it as an extension of autocomplete. I had some pieces of code I wrote I was quite proud of: well documented, clear code yet clever designs and algorithm. But really what always mattered most to m
