The concerning (mis)interpretation of your statement is what I said on the third line above: > "accurately predicts...56% of the time" implies that half of predictions are 'accurate&…

It's good to communicate for a general audience, but your presentation misleads rather than simplifies. > meaning the combined measurement accurately predicts how a potential college applicant…

A better summary would be that those two quantities explain about half of the variation, not that they predict accurately half the time. If you took a random sample of cases, half of them wouldn’t exh…

It’s not exactly the lazy parser you describe, but Sparser[1] builds filters to exclude json lines/files that can’t contain what you’re looking for, and only parses those that might. The Morning …

Yes, but the effort to package the sort of software that's causing issues in python for the Guix/Nix/Spack/Easybuild class of systems is herculean[0] and idiosyncratic. The groups …

This has been my path through his work, and it's been pretty enjoyable to follow. The non-fiction is definitely the most accessible, and built my taste for his writing.

Selectively publishing primary source documents definitely _can_ be a distortion of truth. To take the most salient example: It seems reasonable that the internal sausage-making most political parties…

Which was (possibly objectionable) humor, but light-years from any sort of actual intent.

The question is whether WL has passively (or worse, actively) allowed its position as a conduit of information to be leveraged by malevolent actors to shape (or distort) the truth? Obviously leaks tha…
