🧵Racial minorities are 40% of the US population but only 5% of jurors.

For @Stanford CS109, I built an interactive site that explores the probabilities of jury selection and race.

@Stanford 1/n

In the #AhmaudArbery trial, only 1 in 12 jurors was Black, even though the local population is 27% Black.

The defendants struck out 11/12 jurors.

In another case, a jury pool of 105 people in Stockton, CA had 0 Black people.

The website teaches probability in the context… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
You'll learn about Bayes Theorem, Hypergeometric and Binomial Theorems, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, and the Chi-Squared test.

It's fully interactive with Python code showing how things are calculated.
Caveats: jury pools are drawn from a random sample of registered potential jurors. This list is often drawn from DMV drivers licenses and voting registration.

It may not be representative of the population. "jury of peers'
Also, low statistical probabilities of a jury's racial composition is not considered evidence of discrimination.

Litigators just need to provide a race-neutral reason for excluding a potential juror.

You can't do everything and be everything.

Someone who spends 100% effort on A will beat you who does 50% A, 50% B.

Jack of all trades is master of none.

Yes, synergy is a thing, many Nobel Prize winners have hobbies and are great musicians and artists. Not what I'm talking about here.

I notice something I call "choice aversion".

People often ask questions like "i love X but i also love Y, what should i do"

The common answer in today's culture is "you can do all of it! no need to choose! branch out!"

we're afraid to admit some fundamental truths:

all my friends who read a lot when young are successful now

i think reading is probably the more important thing you can do in elementary school

if ur brain is like an LLM, you should maximize the # of tokens it sees while training
i read so much in elementary school that writing is very easy for me. i liken it to next token prediction.

SAT/ACT grammar came very easy for me, i just went off of what sounded right. idioms as well, even though my family isn't native english speaker. but id read all them

“Money doesn’t buy happiness” is a coping mechanism.

Sure money isn’t 1:1 with happiness 💰 😆

But I’d rather be crying with 10M in the bank than 10 bucks.

Don’t settle for less.
Caveats to this claim but I’m too lazy to write them out
This is what #GPT4 says: 1Basic needs fulfillment
A fundamental reason money can contribute to happiness is its ability to fulfill basic needs. People require food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare to survive and thrive. Money provides access to these essential resources,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
