I see your point that the whole question is based on a wrong premise. I vaguely remember you wrote a thread (perhaps my fake memory) on this, right?

Getting genotypes out of the read wasn't very surprising perhaps bc I refereed a paper from Steven (Gazal). Nevetheless, it looks less trivial that once you have PRS for one trait than you get the rest also.

I keep learning how valuable degree thesis are. They're the actual means of passing down knowledge, not published papers.

sorry for the delay. The main examples from the paper was ppl asking for advice in the internet, e.g. reddit.

lol literally confessing their weaknesses

every time doing markov chain homeworks, stopping times feel like a miracle and no doubt that this has become an almost universal inference tool in recent theoretical statistics.

We Will Not Be Divided Employees of Google and OpenAI stand together to refuse the Department of War's demands to use AI models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous killing without human oversight.

This must be legit right? I mean - who would make up such a unique email address so it must be legit right?

I think there's a range of stabilizing selection that allows 1st/2nd order approximations while forcing the test hypothesis to zero up to a certain order.

The funniest things is that less than half of the AI enthusiasts out there have any experience with vibe coding. This really reflects the reality of the deep rooted ignorance that persisted for a long long time.

Before the AI era, there were accusations about students carelessly copying content from uncredible sources in the internet, but at least those are who tried. The reality is people don't even want to spend that tiny effort.

I became less critical about people asking too much questions to AI after realizing that most people don't even try to look for anything at all. Those who ask to AIs at least have some amount of curiosity.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Ah the author has a nicely written thesis :

Haven't seen it on Bluesky yet: a nice paper is making the rounds, estimating that the cost of housing permits in LA can explain 1/3 of the gap between construction costs and housing prices.

That is: LA's terribly slow housing permitting is extremely costly!

This contained a nice reminder that Ben has a book coming out about computational frameworks for decision making and how he doesn't like any of them. Preordered!

Finally caught up with the course back logs.. processes on graphs look very cool!

AI companies stealing works of people accusing AI companies stealing their work a lot of joy here

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

What made my day here is that they got no sympathy even on Muskrat's platform lol. And unlike Anthropic, deepseek is paying for model use when they do this, to create models that are open weight. They're showing how this entire bubble is being propped up by the equivalent of a toothpick.

This city is my favorite in all of US.

Are TX and FL really enlarging their urban areas? or are they just sprawling harder?

This is the funniest shit from AI I've ever had

Genes are just contracted phenotypes

The problem is that people are rarely equipped with a model of the world. Then, everything is either vacuously true or wrong.
