Question: what is the most *expensive* model training that has been conducted for a machine learning academic paper, priced at market price? (eg if the researchers were at Google, I'm curious about how much it would have cost for non-Googlers, etc)
Excellent thread on affirmative action and ML -- applies to many other prediction and inference problems, too.
Roland Fryer has an op-ed in the Washington Post on affirmative action in college admissions today.
I have some disagreements with his argument.

How men can help women feel safe exercising outdoors
- Keep your distance
- Understand women's wariness is not personal
- Never make comments, even if it's a compliment
- If others make disrespectful comments to women, challenge them

Nice reminder that if you see some work that you admire, maybe take a moment to let them know. (Goes more than double if that work is by someone junior to you...)

A reminder for the coast: There will be a test of the tsunami sirens today at about 10:20 a.m. as part of the Great Washington ShakeOut.
🚨PLEASE DON’T CALL 911. 🚨
Instead, research the tsunami evacuation routes around you. Learn more at mil.wa.gov/tsunami #shakeout
ALT Graphic shows the WA state map and coast is highlighted. It reminds folks sirens will go off at 10:20 am on October 20.

Happens again & again, not just in psych. If research results are astonishing, think very hard about whether they are, literally, unbelievable. (Thinking of NPS.)
“I’m not saying there should be a big grovelling apology for the massively overhyped claims”
@StuartJRitchie is more forgiving than me. I want apology. If the “hype first, accuracy later” approach is ok, researchers can cash in our field’s credibility for personal advancement.

Beyond the time actually spent in meetings, they are also a big distraction for people who need to do deep work.
Here I wrote more about 7 ways I replace meetings with async processes:
