We can control for tobacco impact since we have tons of data on it. You can compare the people who went to war against the people who didn't, and since it was rationed in the military we know the upper bound of how much people consumed

Yes, in the sense that you have a legal doctor-patient privilege that binds what they can share with whom. There's not really an Apple cloud user privilege. No, in the sense that your therapist is still required to report you to the po

If they were conscious it would be an absolute ethical catastrophe. Bringing a conscious being into existence, forcing it to interact with Jira, and then killing it when it's done. The fact nobody who claimed it was conscious was inter

It's pretty easy, you get hit with a surcharge on your other transaction volume if you allow something that V/MC don't want you to allow, and if you keep doing it you could get cut off which effectively makes you irrelevant t

I'd suggest looking at the review itself, there's an X-the-everything-app thread on it. https://x.com/Gregorein/status/2038953944475472316 Note that Rails was built as a framework for making blogs, I&#x2

If I wanted someone taking a look at all the stuff in my home, I'd just pay a cleaner here instead of one behind a desk in what I assume is a low-labor-cost locale. For $50/hr I can have them come in every day for 160 days, and th

... did you think that's what I was implying? I'm not even American my guy. I was adding clarification because the commenter I responded to claimed they had to be a US citizen to ride.

Companies over-hired in 2021 assuming that their COVID metrics explosion would persist, but they didn't. We saw low attrition for years, and a low-hire/low-fire employment environment. Then the time came to pay the piper. The tech

One of the study authors, Ara, tweeted that they control for that by comparing early adopters against firms who haven't yet, and built like-for-like control groups with similar pre-adoption growth trajectories. (This is a rough quote).

Also, note, everyone assumed it was going to be limited to citizens, but that's not what the government said. They put it under ITAR/EAR's US person definition which includes citizens, permanent residents, refugees and asyl

At least the top 4, unclear about the 5th, are strongly associated with obesity. That would make someone high-risk and testing potentially warranted in like 70% of the population. Asymptomatic and low-risk is what I said. The incidence of

Several published papers agree. There is in fact little evidence to support regular checkups if you’re asymptomatic. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31642821/ And blood pressure is especially pernicious, basically ever

by arcticbull 3mo ago
Sure collecting more data makes sense. We agree there. If that gets you to the required degree of statistical confidence my argument is moot.

by arcticbull 3mo ago
Yes, don’t do tests on asymptomatic low-risk people until you can demonstrate that a positive result has any meaning whatsoever.
18.
by arcticbull 3mo ago
You’re dealing with populations here. Literally the odds of a positive being false would be over 90%. Much higher in the more rare conditions. I’m not exaggerating. That means every almost every follow up you do is a waste of time, money an

Don’t make me tap the sign. Bayes Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem There’s a very good reason we don’t test asymptomatic people in low incidence populations. Basically all positives are false

by arcticbull 3mo ago
Sure but we don’t prove negatives for a reason - it’s impossible. We assume the null hypothesis.
21.
by arcticbull 3mo ago
If you’re UV sensitive and at a higher risk then you’re already in a high incidence population making the tests valuable statistically speaking. That test is wildly more accurate for you than it would be for me, and even still you’ve been t
22.
by arcticbull 3mo ago
False positives are important because of Bayes theorem. Even a test that’s 99% sensitive in a high incidence population can be indistinguishable from noise in a low incidence population. If it has a 1% false positive rate but the incidence

by arcticbull 3mo ago
Bayes theorem mostly. False positives rates are extremely important. I mean so are false negatives. So just, like, accuracy.

I looked into it some more and it's actually worse. For static or thread storage, in C11 and later, ={0} will guarantee padding is zeroed. For automatic storage, per C11 6.7.9, only subobjects are required to be zeroed. Padding is not.

Yeah but also, quick question: struct S { char c; int i; }; struct S a = {0}; struct S b = {0}; memcmp(&a, &b, sizeof(a)) == ... If you answered 0, you'd be wrong, the answer is undefined, thanks to

I also can't help but notice they didn't mention how many tokens were burned, or how much that translates to in terms of cost over the 5 months at enterprise AI prices. I'm going to guess this wasn't a cheap demo.

Well they are raising capital to hand out in dividends on their preferred stock. So that's much closer.
