@thebeltwayagent @MusoniusD @conorsen Why do you feel like you've seen it all then?

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@deedydas I mean this is just evidence that acceptance rates are far from a perfect metric. I’d like to see the percent of students who go to northeastern over northwestern if accepted at both

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@NealGardner_ Isn't it true by definition that if you peaked early, then you played badly later? I would find this take a lot more credible if you had predicted France to lose because you thought they'd played too well before this

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@mil000 That seems pretty intuitive to me

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@jt_kerwin @MattveeEL1 Isn't this kind of an arbitrary number? If we changed the rules to e.g. have a longer clock but stop it less, there would be more game time in this sense but the same amount of action over the same time period

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@FranceLumieres That’s not the claim. He’s correcting two misconceptions, that Americans don’t have good community and leisure time, and that the American system only works for the top of the income distribution

@robkroese You aren't allowed to bring a glove to bat, catch the pitch, and run the ball to the outfield to drop it over the fence for a homer

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@NukeBushwick @mean_field_zane Yeah I see. According to this the UK does drink more than the US but the difference isn’t nearly as big as I would’ve thought https://t.co/R1mHHTF4KQ

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@NukeBushwick @mean_field_zane Okay a very good answer!

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@Talophex @NathanpmYoung Doesn't having a single drop of alcohol most likely increase the risk of negative health outcomes? The actual probabilities of these outcomes at different amounts of alcohol is what matters

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@PrimarilyACoug I don’t think that actually happens

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@PetreRaleigh Yeah I’m pretty sure people do that anywhere with more than one school

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

This take implies that each time I go to a new state it has the same cultural novelty as going to a new country. Would be pretty awesome if so

[Christian Smith @CASmithNYC]

I think what most Europeans fail to understand is that the US is... really big. It's essentially 50 countries lumped into one, each with its own culture.

Football/soccer culture isn't the same in NYC as it is in LA, which isn't the same as Ohio or Texas, etc.

@GaryMarcus I don't understand where you got the impression that they weren't planning to release a Mythos-class model once it was safe. They explicitly said this when Mythos was announced

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@GaryMarcus Also since that time OpenAI’s private valuation has gone up an unbelievable amount, do you think its valuation will fall below that number? Eg you were calling the end of the AI bubble throughout 2024 when it was something like $100B

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@GaryMarcus I don't think it bodes at all

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@heeney_luke Of course it could be totally different if you have a lot of student loans to pay or other circumstances, but for me personally it would be hard to be jealous of anyone

[Matt Schwartz @mattcschwartz]

@heeney_luke I feel like being a grad student at a good US program isn't necessarily a struggle though? Like according to according to this my stipend (which I think is pretty standard) puts me in the 97th percentile of income globally https://t.co/JO5asruCfN
