Administrative tasks can lead patients to delay or forgo health care, but Michael Anne Kyle thinks there are ways to change that. https://t.co/vgT5h3MTjk

@tcarpenter216 If no result, or if you think your data covers all possible categorical values, stratified is okay. If your model gives some output when faced with new cat. levels, then stratified may lead to overfitting

[Sandeep Rath @rathsandeep]

@tcarpenter216 A few questions: does your data cover all possible cat. values? In your final use case, could there be a category value outside your train+test data. How is your model geared to deal with that, no result, or something based on some interpolation

[Boris Sobolev @soboleffspaces]

Why is competence in transitioning between levels of abstraction so important? Determining what's essential and what's not is a critical skill for any researcher. By learning to selectively focus on certain aspects of reality and ignore others, students come to understand that what gets into a model is the decision of the researcher, not a statistical analyst or fancy algorithms.

@ben_golub @SarahHBana Quarto looks like an interesting option for code managed powerpoint, although I haven't tried it myself.

This is a good read

Clinicians keep being asked to do more with less, or forced to work with tools and in conditions they repeatedly report as being unsafe, and then when things go wrong, they are often the ones blamed

I like this framework to evaluate where ChatGPT would be useful. I got ChatGPT to shorten one of my abstracts to within the word limit for a conference. Tweaking that usually takes me some time, but verifying correctness is easy (it's my research!)

Generative models and P vs. NP: A clickbaity thread 🧵

An important point that seems missing (as far as I've seen) in the debate over LLM "correctness" / "usefulness": generative models are most useful precisely in situations where creation is hard, but verification is easy. 1/N

[Zico Kolter @zicokolter]

Then LLMs are net-positive in time if:

T_create > p(correct) * T_verify + (1-p(correct))*(T_verify + T_create),

or, simplifying,

T_verify < T_create * p(correct)

12/N

So I'm working on a little system to create a personal academic webpage from a google sheet automatically. It takes a public google sheet as input (https://t.co/qRxqHXeken) and makes a GitHub page (https://t.co/Pz7zVc2OT0) automatically
