Buffet’s Gambit

🇺🇸 🏈 🔫 | Last account got shut down for being too good- said I won X and had to start over.

@cboyack She has no grandchildren, but does she have children? Interesting choice of specificity.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@Amank1412 Well she obviously is not struggling to find a job as she is currently employed at OpenAI

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@jaacknffc I consider myself right wing as fuck but one ideology I’ll never understand or get behind is the banning of murder. Makes absolutely no sense to me and also don’t see why it’s always used as a political talking point

@pegobry_en Avg- area under curve divided by number of obs- looks like it’s about the same

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer And didn’t even really disagree with that either- my original response was more of a commentary

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer But yes, I don’t really agree with original post- more was a response to the response.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer My family was in that situation, and my siblings and I have all gone to Ivy+/top 20 schools. And I myself have studied at both Princeton and ETH Zurich, and I can assure you, though ETH is definitely respectably rigorous, my local counterparts were not that impressive to me.

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer By no means did I say the method works in general. But because most people who choose to homeschool are 1. Rich 2. Academics 3. Stay at home mother households, they are usually qualified to homeschool their children. Homeschooling works very well in that situation.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer Anyone who isn’t in that pool probably will have less success with homeschooling. But a majority tend to be. When you are in that pool, you usually achieve better results through homeschooling just because you aren’t slowed down by the other students/have a stronger family life

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer But also, a European shouldn’t be getting involved in a debate about American homeschooling. You have no exposure to it whatsoever (I assume)

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer A regulatory floor, which weeds out people who shouldn’t be homeschooling. But also, test results should not be the only measure of whether homeschooling is good for people or not- it should just be a requirement threshold.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer When I refer to standardized tests, I’m not referring to SAT/ACT- I’m referring to the end of year testing about half of the states require for homeschoolers to take every 1-3 years. Not claiming that homeschoolers are better at them than public schoolers on avg, but it provides

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@quantized_mango @PatrickHeizer Basically all the academic studies done on this have show that homeschoolers are at least as likely if not more likely to attend college compared to public schoolers. Large fractions of both homeschoolers and public schoolers don’t take SAT/ACT, so bias is present in both stats.

@GretaGrace20 @Republicans Yeah right to vote is reserved to U.S. citizens. Thus you would probably want a way to verify citizenship/identity.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@plzbepatient I guess we don’t like natural light.

[Buffet’s Gambit @buffetsgambit]

@jack_whitcomb_ Combined with the VAT example, I’d say you just stepped off the plane back from your freshman summer LSE session with the Ivy lax bros and SEC huzz

@SpeakerJohnson My great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather is rolling over in his grave right now.
