Nowadays, incel is synonymous with the Andrew Tate “top g”/alpha sex obsession. Backwards? Definitely, but more symbolic of the arrested development/lack of maturity than the lack of sex. Sleeping with others’ significant others,

There’s a nice visual interactive showcasing LOESS Regression toward the bottom of this article about the bias variance trade off: https://mlu-explain.github.io/bias-variance/

Not shocked to see that module 0, machine learning, is 1. Optional and 2. Just a few YouTube videos. It seems like most people I see billing themselves as an “AGI researcher” or discussing alignment on Twitter (or irl in SF) have no actual

Of course the type of person to ride a scooter on the sidewalk and hit someone will spin it as a lesson to others. It’s too bad you weren’t sued so you could learn to accept so e responsibility.

Everything on blind is completely unsubstantiated, doubly so if it’s a, “I heard from…” post. But still, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this come true.

You preface all of your posts with, “people seemed to like…” No. HN does not need the spam. Save that for Reddit. Ironically given the topic, it’s posters like you that ruin the quality of online communities and make engagement hard to meas

I’ll guess because those are popular porn categories. What would you prefer they be?

I agree with this. The justice system is fucked up. I’ve been arrested myself, so this isn’t some punitive viewpoint looking in from outside. My point is that I don’t agree with labeling someone convicted of a crime as being among society’s

“These are some of the most sincere, honest, and heroic people I’ve ever met.” Yeah, I think we’re too hard as a nation on ex-cons. But they’re not heroes because they went through self-imposed hardships (and almost always at the expense of

There’s actually a subreddit for this map, but can’t find it in the map itself (too meta?) : https://www.reddit.com/r/MofR/ Also surprised how big overwatch is relative to other games. Bonus - My roommate works

Put myself through college with some very shiny work and living conditions only to be met with medical debt from a congenital issue later. Can never wrap my head around why America would forgive student debt and not medical debt, especially

I buy that argument maybe during a draft, but not for those volunteering for such duties.

Thank you. I’ve heard that comments here are much higher in quality than on other platforms, including LinkedIn. ;)

I have done research in financial modeling and indeed have a family-member that manages his own successful hedge fund, so the comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I do consider myself an outsider, though, as I’ve been out of the field for
