I worked at another firm in the finance space that hired a PhD with poor social skills who had to be let go because he would try to aggressively “checkmate” other people by proving them wrong and say that they were dumb. It got so bad that other people refused to be in meetings with him.

It’s a customer facing role where the main responsibility is directing confused and anxious people.
I am assuming that maybe except for some TLC vehicles reporting won’t change anything. Do you have a different experience?
I could probably report 20 vehicles a week on a 2 block stretch of road.
I asked to see the agreement I’m signing and they lied to me and said it’s something I’ve already agreed to even though the last updated date on the document was after my last visit.
Then they said that if I wanted to actually read what I’m signing that it could delay being seen by the provider and made a big deal about trying to find the paper.
Eventually I was able to find the full documents I was agreeing to in MyChart and it wasn’t just that I was okay with being treated.
It took 5 times of me calling and explaining that they can’t charge it as out of network before they adjusted it.
I lived in the Bay Area for a while and didn't know. It would also be cool if for entering the address it did autocomplete with valid addresses.
In this case as the patient, all you care is there was an inaccurate diagnosis in your notes. If the doctor were typing them up by hand, presumably that would not have happened.
Similarly if Tesla Self Driving cars got into collisions at 3x the rate of non-self driving, would you defend Tesla because all issues are the drivers fault who are supposed to have their hands on the wheels and paying attention?
The standard deviation of the worst groups bedtime was 108 minutes.
“For bedtime regularity, the median variability was 33 min (IQR 13) in the regular group, 59 min (IQR 15) in the fairly regular group, and 108 min (IQR 55) in the irregular group. For wake-up time regularity, the corresponding values were 41 min (IQR 19), 73 min (IQR 15), and 114 min (IQR 41), respectively. For the sleep midpoint regularity, the median variability was 33 min (IQR 13) in the regular group, 55 min (IQR 11) in the fairly regular group, and 93 min (IQR 40) in the irregular group.”
There are plenty of places that can be afforded on a single income if you work in tech and can work remotely.

I did some Googling and it appears that there are some examples where people say combining multiple models or multiple runs of the same models leads to improvements: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00104... https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11171
But presumably people are less likely to publish a paper when an approach doesn’t work.
In part:
If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong, like your contributions were judged on something other than quality, like you were expected to be someone you’re not—I want you to know:
You are not alone.
Your differences matter. Your perspective matters. Your voice matters, even when—and especially when—it doesn’t sound like everyone else’s.
How is doing public reading of poetry not cheap?
I have friends who do standup comedy and they just show up at open mic nights and it doesn’t cost them anything. One is good enough that now the venues are paying him a little bit.
Two hundred years ago, shirts had to be hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-sewn, so ordinary people could only own one or two. Now because of automation and factories they are so cheap that poor people have many.
Previously 97% of the workforce was engaged in agriculture, and even in the 20th century, famines killed millions. Now with increased productivity we create so much food that obesity is the defining health crisis of our time.
All classes have been able afford better clothing and more food, not just those owning the means of production.

Even in the last 25 years, we've seen large increases in life expectancy, child mortality fell by more than 50%, 1 billion people left extreme poverty, access to knowledge and education expanded, and more.
- oatmeal + blueberries: moderate glucose spike
- oatmeal + blueberries + chia seeds: moderate glucose spike
- oatmeal + blueberries + ground flax seed: moderate glucose spike
- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder: moderate glucose spike
- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder + chia seeds: very minimal spike
In my case, it seems like carbs, proteins, and fats are all necessary to prevent a spike.
