Worth saying the actual study uses "Attempted speech". I.e. when someone is trying to talk or use their hand for writing

this article is incredible

One thing i find distressing is that people seem to be learning from china that they are a manufacturing superpower and this is an unassailable forever true thing

Reminder that whenever you see these charts, its import to try and understand what "dollar index" means

Just coming around to formula 1 and uhh "verstappen denies sainz pole"

Firms constrained by H-1B visa limits respond with more acquisitions—especially small, job-related, domestic deals—substituting talent with transactions, from Jens Friedmann, Britta Glennon, and Exequiel Hernandez https://www.nber.org/papers/w34248

I actually really like this idea! Like ive been using transcription + LLMs to help organize my adhd from meeting notes and it also seems helpful for other things

Its really interesting to me that NB is mentioned, despite voting fairly left it has just an insanely low vaccination rate. The govt itself is often very incentivized to not collect data (lyme disease treatment used to be hard to get and surveys of ticks left to universities)

Im going to keep going on about womens rugby. a kind of neat thing is that because Canada has a lot of all around really talented players who arent specialized they adopt a strategy around violence of action. Just play smart and fast and youll beat everyone. Neat idea and fits with our program

For reference i think there are like 400k H1Bs so this is like a 40bln dollar fee

Trying to think of BLS data release delays now and its what, pandemic, govt shutdowns, hurricane katrina?

👀👀👀👀

FWIW i think theres very minimal chance this works because miller has been good about giving mexico a break and theyve gotten a sweet deal so far

If you believe illegal immigrants are valuable to the economy, removing them will indeed be disinflationary, and you would expect the areas where they contribute a lot (food, construction, misc labour) to have wages/prices bid up by a smaller amount than their spend

Okay this is actually incredibly funny and relatable

I cant be the only one who simply doesnt think AI wearables will be good

Hey, what the fuck

It would be really awesome if our only LNG export place wasnt a shambles rn

Has anyone taught an LLM to work with some tokenized resnet embeddings

Canada womens rugby semifinal today! 3:00PM atlantic time

An old favorite sign

one way you can tell this is true, is that it was bilateral security meeting

I am too

went from college soccer to college rugby and boy was there a culture shock around this specific aspect

Well, fuck

Something to be said for rugby's approach of drilling into you that anything the ref says is how it is

Fucking awesome

In non-market non-ai news, no longer having anemia is awesome and i recommend it

Not to crowd everyones feed, but i am becoming concerned with the fact all those foreign policy bits keep coming back

We’ve been hearing rumblings of this since at least April. www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-a...

i somehow missed the news that they want to reinvade Afghanistan

This is one of the worst things ive ever seen

Progressives in this country will need to figure out a way to actually translate these goals into politics the country wants

It may shock people to learn that 5 billion from nvidia is much smaller than the 30% gain they are on track for now
