Why do you wonder that? If you care to elaborate.

I wonder if hindsight bias is related to overfitting?

The first story I saw on the main page was "The Metropolitan Man".

I thought "OK, I'll give it 10 minutes, see how far it can get".

After 1,5 minute the story displayed a total lack of understanding of middle-school level physics.

Superman prevented an accident by flying into the space between two cars and stopping them with his hands. However, a deceleration on the distance equal to the length of one human arm, is no less lethal than over the (approximately equal) length of the average crumple zone.

I mean, I don't want to poop on the party, but seriously?

I laughed. ::applauds::

Hmmm... Easier to find stories than on r/rational, I'll give it that...

You don't know whether you're alone.

Goodhart's law. People will start optimizing to look good to the algorithms and you'll lose something along the way. Still not necessarily worse than what we have now though.

I choose torture if and only if I'm alone. Otherwise the predictor would be wrong, contrary to the assumptions of the hypothetical. But I'd rather be in the world where dust specks gets chosen.

I use Volume Locker to keep myself from changing volume by accidentally pressing buttons when picking up my phone.

How long did you try? It took me like 2 weeks to teach my nephews to do what I said in a similar case (keeping tv turned down instead of tablet). You need the parents cooperation too.
