Could someone seed a cold started profile with these videos (search plus like) and see what glorious things the recommender system continues to point to?

Yann LeCun and Gary Marcus are still at it - the latter having shifted goalposts.

I worked at Meta for roughly a decade, and have very little faith left in its leadership. I’m waiting for someone to play the child in The Emperor’s New Clothes and finally say the obvious out loud … to Emperor Zuck himself.

Suffered for a decade till I discovered this. I’d reached a point where I was actively skeptical about anything working, till this worked out. Good luck!

Observational studies can have synthetic controls. The term, as such, doesn’t mean precisely what you think it means.

Those invoking Dunning-Kruger are, with high probability, an instance of just that :) (also, see the comment below that touches upon the many gaps in the original paper, which is at this point just garbage invoked by midwits). Finally, there’s a thing called heterogeneous treatment effects, which really is hard to detect at medical research scale … and placebo effects, if they help with the underlying issue without breaking the bank, and still helpful.

Magnesium Glycinate has been a game changer. My legs used to be tense to the point of cramping at night, and they’re now relaxed, enabling better sleep. I also use L-theanine as an additional supplement for a long duration deep sleep, and

it helps.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit; personally have a preference for pigs since they’re benign and good-natured creatures.

Huh? I was addressing a specific claim - not even sure what you’re trying to refute.

I don’t know what definition of intelligence you’re using, but scoring extremely well on math tests qualifying him for that study is fully aligned with the psychometric POV.

Hope so (ex-Meta, and hold a couple of million dollars of their stock, but quite dislike the company).

Your impression about his intelligence is way off. Mark was part of the study for mathematically precocious youth, which has a math cutoff at the 1/10K rarity. He also has ambition at the same level. What’s probably missing, of late, is good taste and judgment.

“ getting a 2100/1500+ on the SAT” Typo? 2100/2400 << 1500/1600 in terms of rarity.
