What happens if you have negative balance of PTO
Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Heck I'd go. I think it depends on people's careers. Most of us could probably make it work in insurance but other professions or jobs may definitely say nope not a chance.
I'd for sure go. I've got the PTO to burn, and we're not crazy busy right now to the point it'd cause problems. My boss probably wouldn't be thrilled about the last-second notice, but I still think the request would be approved.
There have been times when I could have given very short notice and taken off for a week and it probably wouldn't have been an issue. But not now! It's not just being busy at work. With everything going on the world the last thing I want is to make it look like I'm not taking the job seriously. When companies are thinking about layoffs it's not the time for impromptu fun in the sun.
