Indeed, they can not know quantitatively lifetime risk of COVID-19 after 24 months of observation. But we do know from clinical experience that COVID-19 is damaging a lot of people in very severe ways. I was also quoting data on long COVID

Yes, it must be 0, but people are people. You get 10 000 employees, probably some 7-8 000 of them are men, so the remaining 2 000 women will receive a lot of crap. Proportionally more than if the split was 50/50, so SpaceX needs to adj

You still have to deal with the precise definition of interpolation vs. extrapolation. And it does not matter what space you are using as long as you operate under the convex hull definition of interpolation vs. extrapolation you will need

You are bending words like regulation and tax to fit your preconceptions in way that disagrees with how other people understand them. Also, a simple tax can not solve the tragedy of the commons for fisheries as long as fishing will remain p

Actually the opposite is true. Only trough regulation you can create nonviolent free market competition. Otherwise, you end up with military competition as the easiest way to win is to dominate and subjugate opponents trough raw force. Slav

My prediction is that it will happen with 50% confidence before/after 2029. Or 50% confidence that it will be between 2026 and 2031. Basically they need to improve their driving software some 10 000x times. From driving 100km before sa

This is Russell's teapot. You can not prove that infinite states do not exist. In fact, common models of physics assume possibility of infinite number of states by depending on formalism axiomatically assuming infinite sets (e.g. axiom

Interesting aspect of the whole story seems to be institutional forgetfulness. People who made laws in 1919 knew why certain laws were made. 60 years later almost all of them were dead and people in power never experienced the issues earlie

ML is actually overthrowing some truism from classical statistics. Classical statistics did not predict double descent phenomena. The whole idea, that you should not have more parameters than data, was wrong.
