As a layman who doesn't give a shit about college basketball, I thought it was interesting. Certainly I had never heard of NIT. Honestly, it just seems strange that someone would get annoyed enough with that statement to comment and defend a college basketball team in the 50s. Like, who cares?

I don't think average life expectancy of the general population would have anything to do with this. This is just looking at the Medicare population, and who has more chronic conditions.

The average life expectancy in a particular area is impacted by how many people die before they even reach Medicare age, right?

Anyone have the actual report on this to link? The ‘source’ is not easy to find. I very much doubt there was a 100x improvement in AI train time in a single year without a major major caveat. I’m going to guess that there was some major improvement in the imagenet algorithm itself OR people learned how to train AI on GPUs (which I swear was done much earlier than 2018).

Median Income Data only exists for Median Household income (at least reliable data I could find). So because I assumed one person would live in a one bedroom apartment, and median household income often represents more than one earning resident I chose Average Income to estimate the income per one person.

In the future I may investigate using median household then normalize by the number of workers per household. This might be more representative of a median income, but requires more statistical analysis.

Neopronouns are often used by neurodivergent (mainly autistic) people. It helps them define their own sense of identity that they can’t with already established pronouns.

Neurodivergent people are constantly feeling boxed in by things and different social constructs that can be difficult for them to recognize or sometimes understand. Many neurodivergent people feel they don’t quite fit in either category, especially not within neurotypical spaces, neopronouns are just a way to help them break free a little bit, establish their own identity and their own rules, rather then feeling boxed in
