before any of this gets fixed it's necessary to understand why men in tech dress like shit. hacker culture and the web allowed people to rebel against the stifling business culture of the 90's. in software, especially foss, people were judged by their work, not their appearance.

Interesting. @paulg sees the conclusion he wants to see in the data w/o considering counterfactuals. 1. Could it be population growth? 2. Could it coincide with economic improvement (90s UK vs sick man of Europe UK)? 3. Did other countries w/ a single operator experience growth?
Interesting. Privatisation is good for mass transit.

Q: why do you call #ALPS24 a Winter school if it is in Spring? A:
Some metrics are completely useless to evaluate unrelated systems (like LLM vs. NMT). For example, +2 BLEU gain for unrelated systems is about as good as a coin toss (~55%). While the same gain for related systems (e.g. baseline vs. improved model) is about 90% accurate as humans
