Teams defaults are pure scummery.
No, don’t alert me on a Sunday night with notifications that I might have missed over the last two days.

It’s worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.
All of the serious journals are free to punish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.
We’re still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that’s every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.

Doesn’t matter if you forgot to work out for a bit. The trick is to just start again when you realise you’ve stopped.

The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

It wasn’t so much stolen as taken back.

It’s good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.
For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it’s generally good here.
Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn’t be able to Google for, and just forget it.

Having freedom and drive to do whatever you want is great, even if that means you spend a bunch of time just fucking about and getting high and watching TV.
On the other hand, a lot of the people that are dropping out like this are actually just depressed. They look like they’re doing the same thing, but they’re actually just self medicating and it sucks for them.
For some of these people, getting up and out the house, being forced to do a bit of exercise, and talk to people can help with minor depression.
