They don’t say in the abstract what proportion of their sample had ASD. Without this information, the ROC AUC is meaningless. You will get very high AUC on an unbalanced sample even with a trivial predictor like “always say no.”

It’s a hurricane. Hurricanes always knock down power lines and you need a bunch of crews to fix the wires. I don’t know if the power companies are doing this faster or slower than normal, but multi-day power outages after hurricanes has b

Maybe that's what a hundred cubic feet costs to the water company, but at residential retail on my bill it's between $3.50 and $25 per hundred cubic feet, so it's as much as 10,000x as expensive for a residential consumer as

The money comes from water bills. These bills are extremely high in California for non-ag customers and are more than enough to purchase water rights.

If we just had a normally functioning market, this wouldn’t be a problem. There will always be a “shortage” of water in California, because the sunny weather in the valley lets you grow so many profitable, water hungry crops. Picking on o

The anti nuclear power movement in Europe was also pretty strongly influenced by Soviet info ops. The Soviets badly wanted to sell natural gas to Europe, because it was one of the only products that the Soviet Union was competitive on in t

A few years ago I bought a package of firewood at the grocery store in California which ended up being Estonian Birch. As firewood it was terrible, it was almost impossible to light. It struck me that there must be some very weird economic

This is also a recipe for successful companies. Start/work at a company, notice some adjacent problem you have to do in the course of the work that is annoying/difficult/error prone, smooth out the problem and turn that into

Does anyone know what collision repair costs are like on non-Tesla EVs? This seemed to be Hertz's biggest problem with Teslas, and I've heard many horror stories of high costs and long waits for Tesla repairs. As far as Teslas go

It’s very complicated, and if a lawyer tells you it’s not you need to get a new lawyer. Whether something is fair use is determined based on a number of different factors that all are weighed. There’s not some simple if-then algorithm to

High capacity is a descriptor of a gun in terms of what magazines it can accept. Prior to the 1980s, pistols were generally single stack low capacity like the 1911, 7 rounds or so, now they’re double stack and around 20 is common. This is

Ok now do high capacity semiautomatic pistols. Edit: also “only 400 people per year.” Great.

Yeah but those kids hunting had single shot or bolt action rifles with 4-5 round fixed magazines, with either .22 or full power rifle cartridges, a conventional stock, and a long barrel. An AR-15 with a pistol grip, 30 round detachable mag

I’ve always noticed that water in plastic bottles gets a plasticy taste if it’s been stored a long time or in the sun and I figured that couldn’t be good.

This was in the Bay Area, which has OK but not great transit. I used to live in Berlin though that has great transit, which I rode a lot, and it's still much slower than driving or taking a Taxi. Ultimately you just cannot get around

RS and other forward error correction codes are used in everything now. It's in Ethernet, USB (4.0), and PCIe (6.0) for starters. Every kind of link is being pushed to the absolute limit, and you can usually trade performance for a h

There are a few. Zoox comes to mind in that their vehicle is somewhat bus-like in that it has bus type doors, and somewhat bus like seating and interior (plastic/vinyl, easy to clean), but it only holds 4 passengers. Uber and Lyft alr

No you don’t. AVs with 2-4 riders provide excellent passenger density and provide way higher quality service than traditional mass transit. Trip times are typically less than half of even a good mass transit system, and it’s a far more re

All of that granted, isn't this stuff tested on the ground? I guess vibration from the launch must have cracked the welds or something, but I'd have thought that if this were a concern that the parts would have been tested in a v

The space suits are custom fit, but if two astronauts are about the same height, I'd imagine you could make it fit and have it be safe if maybe uncomfortable. Worst case, you could always just not wear a space suit for the trip home.

I think that the expectation is that NVIDIA is in somewhat of an unreasonable position right now (and for the immediate future) where they're getting about 80% gross margins on their datacenter GPUs. This is an extremely juicy target

Polaris Dawn is supposed to go up next month, and while that mission isn’t going to the station, that capsule has been there multiple times, so I doubt it would need much modification.

Trucks basically do all of the damage. Generally they can have 16,000 lbs per axle. With 5 passengers, a Model X weighs 6000 lbs and has 2 axles. 16000/3000=2.66. 5.33^4=807, plus the truck has 2.5x as many axles, so the semi is do

by cameldrv 2y ago
Or not, because the axle weight of semi trucks are much higher than EVs, and due to the fourth power effect, essentially all road damage is caused by trucks.

Because antitrust laws are no longer enforced, so you’re allowed to create monopolies and jack up prices/cut service, and the government will no longer stop you.

Compared to weather balloons, it's quite a bit more data. In the U.S. there are only 91 weather balloon launching sites, so that's 182 observations per day. AMDAR has 700 aircraft, and each one probably makes about 4 flights per

Satellites also measure the temperature/height of clouds, and there's also some data from aircraft. A lot of commercial aircraft automatically report the temperature/pressure as they fly. The only problem is that a lot of t

You don't really need "training" to effectively use an N95 mask. If you just read the package directions and do a pressure check as directed, and it passes, you're going to be getting very good protection.
