   Zuckerberg is a bro

   not sure if this is relevant to Amazon but this is what Meta is doing, from today's Bloomberg:
   Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, fired 13% of its workforce in November during its first major layoff. In the months since, staff have faced intense anxiety about the potential for future cuts, the people said. Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg explained during the company’s earnings report this month that he still felt the organization was too slow-moving and bloated. He called 2023 the “Year of Efficiency” and vowed to cut middle-managers and underperforming projects.
   The current round of job cuts will be more gradual, enacted on an individual basis, the people said.

   Data scientists are re/ta/hded and dont understanding what they're doing.

   R-trded data scientists used to learning from coursera and playing with kiddie datasets are worried about adults showing up and putting them of business

   data scientists are way more technically skilled than economists. they have much better coding skills and practical business sense, whereas all economists can do is regurgitate theoretical concepts that do not matter.

   Read EPS for stories of data scientists failing to see see the forest for the trees. They lack rigorous statistical analysis skills, lack maturity regarding the scientific method and experimental design. They’re great at sorting a billion cat pictures though.

   there are just as many if not more economists who fit that description. all econ phd training does is provide knowledge about archaic models that aren't used anymore or automated to begin with. a smart undergrad can learn everything about modeling and experimental design etc on their own. also, econ research is mostly just applying pre-existing research to new geographies or different time periods. many of these insights are not actionable. actually the only people who really have a leg up over data scientists are stats phds, but only if they prioritize domain knowledge. economists unfortunately do not provide much added value.

   Agreed. Economist egos >>> their capabilities

   I’m not even mentioning questions of ethics which will become more common.
   If social media companies had more social scientists who could reason about ethics and politics, and fewer data science and programming monkeys, they’d have been less woke and hurt themselves less

   Programmers are political r-trds. They just sway with whichever way the political wind is blowing. They just cower to whoever is the loudest shrew in the room. Tech needs more people like Thiel, Hanania and Yarvin, bold and politically savvy.

    There are a dozen threads with little data. Fake fake fake. Someone really wants economists to stay away from tech.
    You can get a clue here from the second tweet in the thread: data scientists are disgruntled about economists’ higher status:

    My point is about spam on EJMR trying to scare economists away from tech

    People have been doing that on EJMR with econ consulting for years.

    show me a photo(concrete evidence) then. I've seen one LinkedIn profile from a non-economist team, and one random spreadsheet. Surely legitimate evidence from official sources must be easy to find, the equivalent of photos on nasa.gov?

    here's something simple to see if you know anything.

    what's going on in this line of code?

    Node* newNode = new Node(newEntry, top);

    what's going on in this line of code?
    Node* newNode = new Node(newEntry, top);

    You are creating a new object of class Node with a two-parameter constructor, assigning it to a pointer named newNode

    Now, give me the evidence or get lost.

    I know you're going to weasel out so let me complete the answer: Node probably is a graph node type object, with newEntry being the value of node, and top being it's parent node.

    Now, SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE
