@Jason There's no case scenario for why Amazon would want to buy Uber, unless they're doubling down on their logistics arm. Tesla has an even slimmer possibility. I think amongst the options you listed Google/Waymo is the more logical option.

Uber is going to be bought by Google/Waymo, Amazon or Tesla/SpaceX in the next year.
For a “buy it now” price of $250b, one of those three companies gets a $12b a year free cash flow machine with $70b in revenue — and hundreds of millions of global customers
This is the most obvious M&A deal since Instagram, Android and YouTube transformed Meta and Google

Hey Gabriel
Solid first MLR project! Here are a few suggestions.
For EDA, check the charges column, it's right-skewed. Plot the distribution and try log transformation
For interpretability, add SHAP values. It shows how much each feature pushes the prediction up or down. GL!

Progress🥹🥲📊 But this looks so simple for something I spent an entire day doing like…😂😭 So I built a MLR model using an insurance dataset from Kaggle, and I hosted it on streamlit(trust me I didn’t even know it existed until today) there’s so much to learn, and it’s so humbling😌. Try it out: glicoinsurancecost.streamlit.app

@codingnninja I think I'll add to this; ability to communicate vision clearly.

🫵🏻 As far as I am concerned, the best leadership qualities are
1. Forgiveness
2. Ability to handle irony
3. Ability to handle condescension
3. Charismatic authority
If you have these four abilities, you will be one of the greatest leaders.

Great product and another breakthrough!
I would love to read your technical docs, curious to know how SubQ identifies and weighs relevance to context.
Alexander Whedon@alex_whedon
Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence. It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA), And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is: - 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens - Less than 5% the cost of Opus Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention). Only a small fraction actually matter. @subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do. That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

Game theory pretty much proves that the long game is not a strategy most people can execute at all. That's because it tends to require a negative short-term position in exchange for a real advantage later. Most people cannot commit to this because their threat-detection system reads current loss as an existential failure. And that's vicious short-sightedness. It leads them to optimize for visible progress and sacrifice their real position. The people who constantly win rarely have better information. Instead, they accept that losing now will pay off later. Never quit a game before it starts.

@neckynaturals @UnkleAyo This isn't a skill issue, it's an honesty issue. Slit your veins, let your emotions pour across the pages crimson, viscous and real.

@OtitoNosike It's aesthetic astounds because it characterizes reality explicitly.

You think I'm happy living abroad?
I have a family I grew up with, whom I love with all of my heart - and the reality keeps dawning on me, on how many times I will see them before I one day turn 60.
People I saw daily, or once a month - I haven't seen in years, and would realistically only see once a year, going forward.
You think I'm happy?
That one day, I might end up having children and my siblings might not have the relationship with them - the relationship I had with my uncles, in my formative years? I remember clearly how they would take us to MrBiggs every Sunday - I am currently reliving the flavour from that meatpie.
How we would go to the family house in Ikeja, every year for Eid. The grandchildren uniforms, the snacks while watching your uncles slaughter rams.
You think I'm happy that I might one day lead a family of children who might not know their version of that?
WTF will I be doing in another man's land, if I did everything they asked me to do from childhood (face your studies, be exceptional, stay away from crime, be hardworking) and opportunities lined up for me to be the best I could, in my motherland? WTF will I be doing here?
Why will I condescend myself to living in a clime where I have to mentally switch from sun burning weather to teeth clenching winter - when I came from a land where I never needed gloves? You think I'm happy?
If I could do honest work, be on my way home and not have to bother about the risk of getting shot by the people meant to protect me, because I have some lines of tattoos on my body - you think I would leave?
If I could trust a justice system to defend me, ensure my rights even though I am a nobody - have trustworthy institutions banking on the highest standards, not have to worry about the bread I eat, the fake drinks from the club or streets, the fake drugs - you think I would leave?
Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for the opportunities this clime has given me, to test my limits - to be everything I thought I could be. But all of these, in replacement for the soul I grew up with?
You know the satisfaction that settled within me when I could wake up on a Saturday morning, stroll to the Iya wanke's place - relish an entire plate, or some ewa agonyin while watching children battle it out, in a 5 v 5 across the streets.
That communal living that relished my soul, is now replaced with silent streets and finely divided sealed terraces.
You walk through the city centres in the evenings - you see friends having an aperitif (they do so every evening), you see grandfathers meeting up with their children, you see entire families with extended families living across the streets, first cousins are even able to use the same gym and you remember what that looked like for you back home?
You think of all your friends scattered across continents, some you might never get to hug again.
For a lot of diasporans, you don't want Nigeria to work more than us. A lot of us want to come home, but what is home? Where is home? When will home feel like home?
I hope to continue living life without lack, in comfort, with accomplished dreams - but I want to do so, with soul. When I die one day, I want to do so - with soul.

@bourdainsbitch @OrevaZSN Bourdieu is all good and fine, till he starts roasting your habitus 😂. Chill man I'm bourgeois 😩

@BrightLeonard1 @OrevaZSN Absolutely, they totally go hand in hand! Bigggg Bourdieu gal over here 🤝

Full grown adults who can’t vacation, take a gap year, have hobbies, play an instrument, speak multiple languages, swim, cycle, skate, or backpack. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to escape survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics no one really talks about.

@bourdainsbitch @OrevaZSN Succinctly put, in that vein I'd argue that Pierre Bourdieu's Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste is a great accompanying read.

If I had listened to myself and dropped this phone 10mins ago to go to bed, I wouldn't be tormented by awareness of this.

There are trans-identifying men who freeze tomato sauce into cylinders to shove up their backsides so that when it melts, they can pretend that they’re having their period. But no, this is definitely not a fetish… or a mental health issue.
