    Great article on implicit and explicit rationing in health care. Wonderfully clear explanation of the central role of politics and government in health care systems.

    I wonder if the mindless fluency of GPT-2 is a decent account of a lot of the "filler" utterances that people make, e.g., "and I'm like, 'Well, I can live with that, right?'" They seem to be mostly rote phrases; certainly no deep understanding is needed to produce THEM 2/

  9. Dismissing machine learning because it can't make sense of what it *hasn't* seen before it quite short-sighted. It is immensely valuable to be able to automatically recognize *what you are able to label* -- especially on hard pattern recognition problems, at super-human accuracy.

    What process do they have in place to deal with false alarms? For verifying matches? For assuring the quality of the gallery of registered faces? How long will match data be retained? Who will have access to it? Will the organization be audited regularly?

    I see many papers that begin with a sentence equivalent to "Topic X is popular". Popularity is not a sound scientific reason for studying a topic, so such opening sentences strike me as lame. How about "This paper shows how to solve issue Y with method M for X"? 1/2

    The online platforms need to think about how to scale civility instead of just scaling hate
