I think that's the question on everyones minds. A judge has to order it though, which would trigger a direct confrontation between law enforcement divisions. They could also order assets frozen or something though (I think?) which I do

I don't necessarily think the relationship is "worse residency conditions predicts higher board exam scores"? It could be that residents with more time to study or whatever score higher. It could be examinees with scores clos

My prediction is the correlation is about 0.30-0.40. As others have pointed out, there are a lot of unmeasured variables not being controlled for in this finding as well. I'm not surprised board exam scores predict outcomes, I just thi

Yeah I wondered how much of this is accounted for by some general resiliency thing or circumstances during residency or something along those lines.

MCAT != board exam, for one thing. There have been studies suggesting that elimination of the MCAT does little to nothing to prediction of student performance beyond the second year or so.

There seems to be a lot of political circles wanting to return to the late 1800s. I'm personally not one of them.

It remains to be seen what he means by it in practice. It is possible many will be pleasantly surprised at what emerges. This article does suggest Shipley wanted a more balanced, "both sides" approach to the opinions section, whic

So for one thing, the popular vote differential was less than 2%: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024 It's also not that large historically speaking: https://thehill.com/

They are trying to supercede the oath to the the constitution that people in the executive take, and also to supercede the authority of the other branches. It's as simple as that.

There's a quote from the photographer in the article: "Brutalist architecture in Japan might not ruffle feathers locally but it’s considered divisive elsewhere." I agree the article title is confusing. On the other hand, I lo

Yeah there's lots of "diffusions" out there and I was similarly curious which one they were going to be writing about. I liked the post though.

It's important to be thoughtful about research interpretation, but I'm kind of tired of kneejerk dismissal of observational studies for a couple of reasons. First, experiments have their own varieties of horrors. Many are small N,

Overproduction is relative to the system under consideration. If you set up a system in a certain way, almost all labor can be overproduced. To take an extreme rhetorical example: if slavery is allowed, human capitol becomes ridiculously ch

I don't disagree with you really, although the reasons for that are complicated. Everyone wants the benefits of research but no one wants to pay for it, and slowly over the last three or four decades administrations have pushed researc

The answer is no, you don't need permission, but you do incur a legal and ethical risk whenever you do research, and as such, the more you can do to strengthen the legal and ethical arguments in your defense, the better. IRBs are simpl

I can provide my perspective on it. I think some of these arguments I sympathize with more than others, although I probably do sympathize with all of them. One reason is that it is extremely difficult in practice to get an ID for some perso

I personally think it says volumes about how those in the Trump-Musk group (Musk group?) see this. They see the task as infiltrating an adversary, requiring someone with the technical skills to do so but who is also disposable. This in thei

I'm not sure private entities are more careful with their money. More importantly, it's their money, it doesn't necessarily flow back to the public. The danger is in monopoly. Then you're left with no choice and also no

My guess is Google, Microsoft, Signal, Apple, Cloudfare, etc etc etc have all been asked if they could make backdoors. I expect they have all been asked . It's not the same as asking if they have made a backdoor. So I think a journa

Interesting essay. Not sure it really provides insights into the problem spaces I'm interested in personally, but it's interesting to see a formal connection to mereology. One of the problems in many of these domains is that the p

You're right to point out how carefully worded these statements are. But I suspect it's rare for companies of Google's status to not have been asked for a backdoor. It's not really an informative question to ask Google.

Personally, I think that if your adversaries are doing just that, a grant with a title related to that makes sense, both to understand the problem domain and to defend against it. Yes, I would want the department of defense to be funding re
