Thanks, can you point to where you found this info?
+1. I was excited for it and it sounded nice in theory but in practice it was just too much of a slog for me. I picked it up because I have a non-traditional math background and while I more or less know calc + LA, I do…
You may like Typora.
PC has spoken admirably of Koch Industries and he thinks there's some merit to remaining private. That's probably why. I don't have the source at hand but probably one of his podcasts.
Nothing in our previous understanding suggests that they increase release of aerosols or aerosolization. Multiple previous studies have shown that they don't (see Asadi, S., Cappa, C.D., Barreda, S. et al. Efficacy of…
Your logic is flawed because additive risks like that cannot be compared to exponential risks (like the spread of a virus). There's an asymmetry in the outcomes and the potential upside is enormous; especially when your…
Honestly, this is a problem with everything. Snobs are sort of a double edged sword. They are great because they are very passionate and likely spend a lot of time on the topic at hand (could be anything. Maybe it's…
Nobody disagrees with holding judges accountable but from the context, what you're advocating for sounds like a blood feud and we all know how those tend to turn out.
Would be interested in seeing a source for this if possible
Yeah, basically this. I assume HN has a higher number of people who work in ML jobs in fields like finance etc. If you're working in any sort of social/public health research, then most new methods seem to be…
Very good, something I have been thinking about as well. Inequality is bad because of the massive power differentials. How do you propose we "solve" that while still being able to reap the benefits of scale? Any…
No, fiber does not have that big of an impact on absorption. That's why most fruits are a big no on keto diets
Sorry but this is ridiculous. Your solution to inmates having crappy lives is to impose even more arbitrary restrictions on them? This would make sense only if they could voluntarily go outside for a smoke whenever they…
Why shouldn't we have great recall of the details of books we read? All of the things you describe about actively engaging with the works you read are obviously correct (taking notes, summarising main points etc.). But…
You're absolutely right. Please disregard my entire comment.
This is not a strong signal. The adjusted odds ratio is 0.03 (95% CI: 0.003 - 0.25). For randomised trials, it makes no sense to say that the difference in baseline is not significant because we have already observed…
But in practice, directing animosity at advertisers and platforms is an effective way to remove content you don't like. It doesn't matter if the platform/advertisers says that they don't necessarily endorse the…
Others have already raised this point... but let me try to reiterate. The problem of getting priors is not just one of "acquiring more information". In many cases it's not even clear what such a probability means. For…
Of course it's not 1:1 but having money can certainly make it much more easier for you to say no aka "fuck you money"
Can't help but feel that people here are missing the point and perhaps too hung up on the specific example in the wikipedia article. The broader point is about the misuse and misapplication of technical/"rational"…
Understanding that deciding to weight the choices is also a a choice and not necessarily always a useful one :)
Ok, let's go one level deeper. How do you decide which argument makes sense to you? For example, say you choose 'X' or 'Y' because of criterion 'A'. Why criterion 'A'? What makes you think that that's a suitable…
Yep. Agree with his conclusions but also think that his reasoning is nonsense
