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.

Any suggestions for anger management books?
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

My wife started as an M at Accenture earlier this year coming from industry. I’ve never worked at Accenture or any b4, but I had to explain to her how up or out works. She also didn’t know that she came in with 24 months at level and what that meant. Really surprised none of this was communicated during hiring or by her manager.

I mean the companies are losing money, economy is slowing and money is becoming more expensive to get… when your expenses are higher than your revenue you cut expense, in this case over bloated tech salaries.

Is this just a dig at Elon? Because FB stock is literally down 50% from 5 years ago, and Twitter was only up 100% and their last earnings they had a net loss of 270 million… again it’s becoming evident of a greater economic downturn, tech hiring freezes and layoffs and money becoming more expensive to borrow and offset loses. Tech is being hit hard and Twitter has historically been one of the weakest tech companies in their group of social media companies.

They were lucky to have been coasting for this long
Tech workers receiving news of layoffs after bragging for years about working 15hr weeks and earning $400k TC packages
Being a billionaire doesn’t mean you must over employ over-compensated workers at a company that doesn’t make money.
Or is that some I-hate-billionaires rule that we’re trying to enact now?
‘Civic responsibility’ = continuing to over-employ staff in a company that loses money? It’s not a public company anymore. They can’t just sell more stock.
If he doesn’t cut jobs and improve cash flow, EVERYONE loses their job. Is that better?

In the grand scheme of things, they’ll get snapped up by better tech companies, and twitter is already on life support. He has to pretend to be a boss and also minimize his foolish business decision. When twitter continues to be a chaotic clownshow and eventually dies, they’ll appreciate the distance.
Probably doesn’t feel like it now but he’s doing them all a longer term favor.

Oh of course, they get a nice settlement, and don’t have to work for a dictator. I knew someone at Tesla and it sounded almost as bad as banking, without the perks of banking. A true sweatshop.
Sounds cool, but Twitter has been losing money and their grand plans have been stalled
Technically with all of Elon’s companies , he must have created far more jobs than the ones got eliminated. Your statement is Twitter worthy though
Didn't musk pay the highest tax bill in American history recently when he sold a lot of tesla stock?
To be fair, the government already taxes your house every year.
Dude this has been done like many times. Look at parlor, truth social, rumble, etc. all created because someone decided that the ones who run these big tech social media sites suck.
