In our case, I think sleep apnea is a cause. Tripping was never really happening and relief brought on by ketamine was never more than temporary. But it is true that ketamine can cure depression, at least for a time. It's effectivene

If you merely observe thermometers and which days feel hot, you'll see a link but won't be able to tell which way causality goes. If you set the thermometer to a high value in a cold room and notice that you don't get any wa

I agree that the map is not the territory, but there is a better model here that captures the difference. The car isn't moving, as you say, but that intervention by the host lets us trade one door for both of the other doors.

Part of the problem is that the basic statistical model simply neglects to differentiate between observing and doing, which changes the odds. This is very important when trying to reason about causality. When you observe an association li

by Natsu 3y ago
There is something missing: regular stats don't differentiate between doing things and observing things and these two are not at all the same. If I have a digital thermometer and I observe it to show a high temperature, then I wi

This modelling ambiguity is resolved by do calculus, which makes a clear distinction between intervention and observation: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1305.5506.pdf

by Natsu 3y ago
This isn't so mysterious once you learn a bit of do calculus and realize that observation and intervention are fundamentally different things.

Man, having spent waaaay too long troubleshooting errors where it's not remotely clear what part of the config the program is even consulting makes this hit home.

What sort of topics are currently being censored? I haven't seen examples of things being suppressed, but that's also why I'm asking; because I wouldn't have seen things that got suppressed.

Only in the weakest sense where one can emit other noises from their mouth instead. That criteria is an outgrowth from our drive to fulfill our own material needs, without which one does not do philosophy or anything else, which in turn ar

Some axioms are more useful than others, though. For example, Peano axioms can be used to formalize parts of math which we use to make models of physics which enable engineering that makes all sorts of technology. Many others can't g

I don't think there was anything serious that didn't get reported. We never had to use anything beyond a single band-aid for non-recordable injuries that I know of and unless you want the office staff reporting every paper cut to

In my experience, most of what happens is that workers don't want to wear the gear because it's hot/uncomfortable and they're working really long hours and get tired and sloppy by the end of it. I actually worked in such

It'd be hard for all the studies to measure wrong levels of lead in people's blood, though. How does one get all the different people studying the subject to conspire?
288.
by Natsu 3y ago
The idea that the effects should grow is hard to make sense of, because what's grown is only the lead exposure gap between classes, not the IQ gap. So no change in IQ gap with a change in the lead gap means the lead effect is picking

Effect size, at least for harm to IQ: What is the effect of 1 μg of lead on IQ? Good studies from the different research eras can be used to illustrate how lead effect sizes have changed over time. Landrigan et al. (1975) represents the Ear

by Natsu 3y ago
One problem with a lot of the studies is that the studies have a lot of confoundeing and estimates of lead's harm seem to be rising even as exposure decreases, which should make people stop and think more. But this doesn't come u

Personally I'm more worried about corporations spying on the kids than the parents knowing where they are and what they're doing.

It wouldn't be a problem if people would just stop advocating for going back to the bad old days. You don't know how it feels, but absolutely, if you lower the cost too much people are going to pay it. The more we reduce this to

It's weird to see you flip things like that, when you're the one talking with no actual experience with these things. Anyhow, I certainly have read about them and they have been common throughout history, with justice systems bei

The problem with that is that when you have a situation where the punishment is known to be lenient and there's someone threatening your life, you might just be willing to pay the price for revenge. Yes, I'm aware that some places

That was not a contract killing, rather it was a far more common type of murder. The list was something like an enemies list. I have no idea why he kept one, mind you, but the police showed it at trial and it freaked out grandma and some

Given the other tablets he had, it sounds like he didn't really care. You owe him one trifling silver mina and he'll tell you to stuff it, even if you just walked through a war zone to complain.

I mean, depending on what you believe about certain humanized mice studies, this may have already lead to a highly human-adapted pathogen appearing out of seemingly nowhere.
