Can machine learning outperform baseline logistic regression for predicting complex social phenomena? Many prominent papers have claimed highly accurate civil war prediction. In a systematic review, @sayashk@twitter.com and I find these claims invalid due to errors. https://reproducible.cs.princeton.edu/

Goddammit Wolfram, don't make me defend p-values.

Peter Scholze, one of the most respected mathematicians in the world, completed an important proof entirely in his head and hungover. A computerized proof assistant has now confirmed that his work is correct. https://www.quantamagazine.org/lean-computer-program-confirms-peter-scholze-proof-20210728/

If you think normal houses in the UK are pretty bad, try to imagine their prisons...
RT @jlpassarelli@twitter.com
I visited a Stasi prison, it looks strikingly similar to @hmpbelmarsh@twitter.com prison in UK where #JulianAssange is being held as a political prisoner.
Their psychological torture methods, and reasons for detaining people are also strikingly similar to those of UK and US.

Right:
Each colored point-cloud is a country
Each point (x,y) is 1 hour of electricity production with x=energy produced in kWh; y=CO2 emission in g/kWh.

First part of the meme is NOT a fake news, second part is just a logical conclusion of the first part. Sometimes ideas in this world make a short-circuit in my poor brain.

Pelosi also questioned the policy wisdom of cancelling student loan debt:
“Suppose…your child just decided they, at this time, [do] not want to go to college but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations. You may not be happy about that."
