My friends are gonna hate me but a lot of yall who work in Non-Profits are a little out of touch. I'm a cyclist but that's such a tone-deaf solution to the problem people are facing.
As Capetonians struggle with ongoing taxi violence in the province, leaving thousands of commuters stranded,
an NPO based in the mother city is lobbying to make Cape Town more bike-friendly.

Alternate timeline: plotwist, He bet everything on crypto and lost it all. He's getting back in the game and this time with yet another crypto coin, and this time he's winning.

The institution has much more power and shouldn't be seen punching down. What point are you trying to make? Do you think his tweet has damaged Cambridge in anyway?
Okay so has anyone on here tried using Chatterjee's new correlation coefficient (2020) to see if it effectively changes anything? I've been sitting on it and I'm about to test it myself. Wary of any new similarity measure on the block (especially for financial applications).
🚨JOB ALERT🚨 I'm seeking 1 African student passionate about data science & machine learning for an Applied ML Internship. Project includes NLP, data collection, cleaning, exploratory data analysis, dimensionality reduction, data clustering & recommender systems.
@HBCUfessions
Be smart. The ambivalence you feel and the ambiguity of the whole situation are all the red flags you need to stay away from this situation.
Are these two random variables independent ?
if according to you they are not, are you aware of a dependency measure which would capture something about it?

Why would academics have to do this work? Nobody in the private sector is expected to do this. You kind of have to do your due diligence to figure out why you'd work with one prof and not another. Feels like there's a minimum education acquired before reaching out to profs...
Out of all my 2023 accomplishments, the one I'm the happiest about is bringing my fiancée over from South Africa so we can live together in the US. I can't even believe we made it happen. 🙏🏿
The future seer sees a future trajectory, are we going to discuss how seeing the future by itself changes that future?
That said if you can see the future & you can just obfuscate your thoughts as to confuse the mind reader. After all the mind reader can only see what you show

You make it free while users get used to it. You identify power and business users and target them with premium services at a competitive price ?

Didn't know he was the manager who oversaw Google maps. That alone is enough of an achievement to cement yourself forever in the industry imo.
Everyday something happens to a celebrity and regular people are dying on the internet to fight their battles as their own. This will never not be strange behavior. What doesn't this make sense to me ? What am I missing ?
The older you are before you move to a new country the harder this feels. Most people are integrated into communities via their school, university, neighborhood they were raised in, their family and extended family. You lose all that as an immigrant, have to start from scratch!

What's he's saying is that hell sweep is not a real move a human could do. That's why you don't have these kind of moves in mk but other games are more flexible on that end.
@MphoMoalamedi
Nobody likes abrupt changes. Especially folks who are trusting with positive thinking: you delve on what could have been. It's like a plane preparing for take off to an idilic destination but then it never makes it. Your mind is stuck romanticizing what could have been
Day 8:
The creatures still keep evolving and thus the character of the world. There are notable changes: The spiral thingies are being more and more displaced or at least their once imposing horns are reducing in size. Instead, one can now see many longer zigzag extremities. What
@Kdenkss
they really need to give it a rest with rwanda. It's a tiny country and will never be a blueprint for anything in africa. It's like saying Switzerland is a blueprint of success for european countries. When in fact size alone brings in a multitude of different problems to solve.
@allensrage
Yakovenko papers suggest that there is a natural inequality to economic systems where participants interact but different wealth accumulation models impact that inequality and that is the point of these papers. The distribution of wealth depends on how economic agents interact(!)

you know what's even funnier? The french wanted to call it "la cote d'or" but given Ghana was already called Gold Coast at the time they opted for Cote d'Ivoire. They were real creative back then.

One issue I have with all these papers they don't necessarily apply to domains like banking where data is highly imbalanced. Training a tree model is much faster than DL for equivalent perf. so why bother at all?
newsflash:
Just got offered a senior research scientist position at a financial services company ✨👀
whew I am so so excited it doesn't really register yet. Navigating this job market is hell 😂
the role is also fully remote I'm leaving Boston and the north 😎

I was an early believer many years ago but the stories started coming out, and Austen's behavior on here, and the name change were a strong tell something was very off.

They can proceed similarly to the EU: start with a small number of countries with free movement and expand it gradually. You probably don't want to open doors to everybody at once. Some gaming could happen?
@ShimminyKricket
But why are my taxes paying for your family choices? What about personal responsibility in all this?

It's very unfortunate that a lot of important research only gets funded if there is a military use case attached to it. Interviewed with a startup whose mission was to divert top talent from tech to defense by offering very competitive salaries.

I've seen what my ex wife career trajectory took once we separated. It left me feeling like your partner might say they aspire to certain things just because they want to love and emulate you but ultimately it's not what they truly desire & it takes an extreme event to reveal it

No strong industrial policy? It's a widespread issue with West Africa. We didn't benefit from globalization as much as Asia did when all the outsourcing happened?
Sold my TV, sold my laptop, sold my Xbox to pay rent. I'd go home from uni to just watch the ceiling, barely touch my phone cause of the little 1gb data plan that needed to last the month.
Fun.
academia selects conformists, so just be that.
This is contradictory to claims of academic freedom. There is no freedom, at least not in the way it is sold to us from the outside. The funnel to "freedom" only accommodates the least risk taking individuals from the pool.
1) On TT - Be the fuzzy bunny nobody wants to kick - advice my academic big sister gave me when I started on TT. These people will be voting on your future. You can be the game changer after you get tenure.
@Carnage4Life
yeah it's weird, like the manager literally sees your work everytime it produces a report directly in their mail box, no need for meeting, no need to load a website or software or app. they can forward the content to other business partners etc... it's a win.
You know what's striking about this
@naomiosaka
thing? it's that as usual she's doing this & things will change for the better, & everybody will benefit in tennis because of her, & people years from now will take this for granted while omitting they tried to villainize her for it
Related:What irks me the most is how they rarely if ever give large donations to public schools. They always always give money back to schools that are already ridiculously funded with massive endowments. Nobody questions that circular logic within these "elite" circles.
that's only going to exacerbate the problem.
Shifting power looks like, e.g., getting more funding for San Jose state, a public school that primarily serves first gen students, to get funding when it's in an area swimming in $$$....
Can confirm it also works in France. When I took Eurostar from London to Paris. Spoke English at immigration. This guy looked at my US passport and asked me if I had another citizenship. Lol. If I had conducted that interview in French can you imagine how emboldened he'd been?
I just watched someone defend their MSc thesis in a physics department, and it was on LLMs - not even 'physics of LLMs' type of things, but stuff about hallucinations, knowledge graphs... and I lost hope. It's really everywhere you look, like an invasive algae species.
I will eventually (one day 😅) start doing threads on things I'm working on. It will be related to latent variable models, clustering, fuzzy clustering, manifold learning, statistical factor models in portfolio construction, graph construction, statistical similarity measures etc
