What’s been going on in Shanghai? How serious has the lockdown been?
Spanish Flu disagrees with you
And what if China is wrong, lying, or only temporarily correct, causing the virus to resurface when society resumes?
There’s not much right vs left yet. It’s just the Democrats figuring out who their candidate will be. The pandemic has a very small effect on the US right now. Things are closing but mostly in anticipation of the near…
> Do you really think some moron bumbled his way into the most powerful office in the world? Yes, and in light of anecdotes of how decisions are made in the current administration: double yes
The sky is mostly empty space when, and only when, there are not flying taxis at sufficient scale for society to bat an eye
CFR in Italy is lower in every age category than in China. It’s Simpson’s paradox
It’s a stupid concern. The reason the government is incompetent is that the government is incompetent. That’s not uniquely American, and there’s no evidence that race has played into any of this. We didn’t exactly…
As an Asian American... no, I don’t think racism played into this at all. Would have been exactly the same if it started in London.
I think the real takeaway is from all this is that death rate is a pointless metric. It is highly dependent on the local demographics, it requires precise information which is rarely available, it is biased by the level…
There’s an important bit in this that depends on age. If you’re young and healthy, in addition to being less likely to die from the disease, you’re also less likely to acquire the disease (exposure level being held…
well it’s a good thing I didn’t suggest that
what is the treatment then?
My point is that medical staff are trained to respond to many things. Training newbies to respond to one thing would probably be easy and fast. Especially if most people just need fluids, oxygen, and aspirin. Burning…
What do the healthcare workers actually do while caring for these people? Is this something that actually requires significant medical knowledge? What does arrest mean? Is that cardiac arrest? Is that how people are…
I doubt it would be a game changer. Grocery stores already collect this when you use a card for discounts (They’ll never say no if you ask to put on the store card though...)
anyone know if this tech can handle adversarial images? Is it even computer vision based?
The data was small but seemed to be worse for former smokers. That’s hard to judge though, because former smokers are likely to have quit due to health problems. I haven’t seen any useful stats on infection rates but I…
Ok but what I’m looking for is an actual example of an intractable problem. Breaking crypto is one, I guess, but it’s also one that makes everything worse, so I don’t take that as a useful outcome.
I noticed this smoker effect early on! Data from China was showing about 20% of the infected population was smokers, while smoking is closer to 60% in Chinese men (by cursory google search). The death rates were much…
> It took hundreds of hours of human review time to find a single OCR mistake from this process! This stands out to me as improbable. Not in that the error rate could be that low, but in that they actually had humans…
That makes a lot of sense to me, but it doesn’t seem to be the case and I don’t understand why. Is it oil prices down -> large oil based economies at risk due to vastly lower margins -> global instability from inability…
That was my point of confusion on the charts for symptomatic people. I’m assuming that the relatively high rates of non symptomatic individuals implies they’re testing people without symptoms in a somewhat random sample…
I feel like all of those concerns are nullified if you just don’t quit your job before lining up another... which is what people usually do.
I feel like I acknowledged that in my post. Most relevant concerns for “why don’t you just leave” are around having enough money to pay for basic needs, having other jobs, or finding a place that works for your…
