My hypothesis is that writing is easier to critique than content, so if you don’t understand the content, you can still “offer a meaningful review” by commenting on writing. A hasty generalization but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently the one vote to keep maybe have been an accident, too (according to Time)

Maybe my opinion is weird because I didn’t start drinking coffee until the job market, but decaf is my nice alternative if I’ve already had caffeine (either because of double booking or poor foresight)

TLDR: if you have infinite model expressiveness, loss function choice probably doesn't matter. BUT if you have a limited model class (even if the Bayes optimal model is in class), then task-specific surrogates perform better than task-agnostic + thresholding, formalized through H-calibration.
