Some friends just made this: https://www.congressionalrag.com/ - they need help from anyone interested, especially around pulling in more data sources.

It is, of course not going to produce a “child” model that more accurately predicts the underlying true distribution that the “parent” model was trying to. That is, it will not add anything new.
This is immediately obvious if you look at it through a statistical learning lens and not the mysticism crystal ball that many view NN’s through.
This is not obvious to me! For example, if you locked me in a room with no information inputs, over time I may still become more intelligent by your measures. Through play and reflection I can prune, reconcile and generate. I need compute to do this, but not necessarily more knowledge.
Bank of America has started refusing to let me transfer to the new Chase account for Wise US, saying their account has been flagged for fraud.

Ownership can mean many things, including monetary ownership, passive stock, or part ownership in strategic direction. To the latter point, every team I've worked on that had a shared strategic vision was more productive, had higher morale, and was overall a more satisfying experience. I'm not sure anyone can quantify should in terms of compensation, but ownership of purpose and direction seems to fit.
Exactly. I think people want to be treated like owners more than they want an obtuse legal status of being an owner. In other words, a seat at the table when strategic objectives are being defined is what will make them act like owners, not a RSPA document.
Now break that down by age. And for bonus points tell me which people died “from” Covid and “with” Covid.
All the data surrounding Covid is trash. Garbage in, garbage out. It’s gonna take a while before cooler, non politically motivated people can get an accurate figure.
This analysis has been done several times. To the best of my knowledge, even the covid policy contrarians don't see a a problem with its obvious conclusions. Here, let me google that for you: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
I'd use it for basic process automation, airtable data IO, triggering marketing campaigns or slack bots, etc.
It's a heavy weight feature request but if I could lean on it in the way I lean on Prefect.io now for spinning up cloud workers on demand I'd use it for a lot more.
No email on your profile, ese!
Aside from that BitGym looks great!
Whoops - added it. Thanks!
This is where we were looking to go with our "metaverse for sports" app https://ayvri.com - Blending of 3D world geometries with video and photos captured from ground view, built into 3D models. I believe this is the future of video, I was calling it "spatial media" at the time.
We still operate Ayvri, but have mostly moved on to other projects.
Sometimes someone links me to Ayvri (due to our overlap here) and it's always super impressive. As the capture tools get better, and something as sturdy as a GoPro can capture stable video suitable to watch on VR, the concept might pick up.
