I don't believe there are laws against taking it in Colombia. The law seems to be against driving one and the consequence for the driver is getting the car confiscated and having to pay a fine and losing their license if caught multipl

Thanks, on p.15 of the linked RTI report[0] a number of other recent publications are also pointed out as particularly significant (seemingly based on number of citations). Unfortunately, it's hard to gauge the extent to which these ar

The article doesn't seem to make any references to concrete advances. It's unsurprising that an influx of donations resulted in an increase in research grants and money spent, but that's not the same thing as decreased mortal

I agree. Guinness world records for things like this should probably not be taken as authoritative since they are heavily skewed by selection bias. It seems completely implausible that there aren't any vegetarian restaurants older than

So, it "worked" in the sense that the users likely moved to more toxic echo chambers where they can be further radicalized in their toxic viewpoints? Yay?

The idea that discourse markers are "useless" and meaningless has become conventional wisdom, but this characterization is considered flawed by those who actually study their usage[1]. Some roles they play include creating flow in

The Intercept is an obvious choice to leak this sort of information, especially given their reputation for having the backs of their sources (with one notable failure -- the NSA leak where they published raw documents leading inadvertently

This was incorrect:”The Venn diagram depicts a left-join as a set difference, which it clearly is not.” It is in fact a set difference and the sets in question are values for the column being ONed on in each table (as I explained in the top

Diagrams and notation serve similar symbolic roles. Just because you can represent a real number, say 5, in a complex number's notation (5 + 0i) and you can't represent a complex number as a real number doesn't mean that you

Yep: https://i.imgur.com/cgYkQbS.png I'm drawing the conclusion that some people just need to see arbitrary concrete values to be able to understand what's going on.

I have yet to see a cross join represented by a Venn diagram, so this strikes me as a red herring on the topic of whether Venn diagrams for the joins that are usually represented with them make sense.
103.
by 0xfffafaCrash 8y ago
This is silly. They're a cheatsheet for those who know how SQL joins basically work and what they represent actually makes perfect sense if you don't misrepresent what sets the circles refer to. Two tables (A & B) are somehow

This looks really pretty but the protocol seems not to be well-thought-out from a cursory glance. The example itself shows a case where the non-owning nodes are out of sync with the owner node ( and sitting happily in a stable state!!! ) an

So if a person makes millions of dollars a day they get paid millions from taxes but if an unemployed person does the same job they get paid nothing? I'm not sure that's an improvement.

The articles wasn't saying that AlphaGo Zero was a marginal improvement. On the contrary, I think it was saying that the type of improvement AlphaGo offered is an outlier because it approached the task in a fundamentally different way

Consider two scenarios: You contribute $X to a political figure because you want to draw there attention to an issue because... A) you think society stands to benefit from making certain changes the political figure can enact B) you think y

If 50% of people score the exact same type upon retaking the test, I consider that great evidence that there is relatively stable information in the indicator. As a baseline, remember that if the distribution of results was uniform, a null

Oh absolutely. In fact I think there are those situations. My argument isn't that MBTI is effective in all individual cases to gauge much about them. My argument is that the ineffectiveness of MBTI at providing useful information to pe

I agree with a lot of this. I don't disagree with the fact that it's not necessarily super effective because the distributions of personalities of people are not bimodal, as would be ideal for this simplistic sort of classificatio

by 0xfffafaCrash 10y ago
By "entirely different" you mean not the exact same classification or a classification independent of the previous classification? If the latter, the evidence does not support you.

I'm a scientist, so I kind of know how science works. There's a difference between saying the extent of something's effectiveness hasn't been established by existing research and saying that it is ineffective. I've

If say some person knows two people and that one tested as INTP and other as ESFJ and doesn't know for a fact who had which test results. Are you really sure they won't have better than even odds at figuring out which is which bas

Do you have any serious evidence that shows that it doesn't have external validity? If say some person knows two people and that one tested as INTP and the other as ESFJ and this person doesn't know for a fact who had which test r

by 0xfffafaCrash 10y ago
That proves what? If you want to argue that people's MBTI fluctuates too wildly to be meaningful, the proper question is whether there's any information gain from knowing a person's previous MBTI results for subsequent tests,

This is so poorly thought out. I really don't get why some people can't seem to tell the difference between things like MBTIs and astrological signs/zodiacs/horoscopes in terms of their potential to classify people in a

Unlikely. It's probably the healthcare organization's version of Epic's MyChart which gives patients the ability to access some of their own medical records.
