I don’t think your conclusion follows from the premise at all.

I don’t think anyone believes regulation would fix the root cause of the victims’ psychological issues. The idea is that the government preventing predatory exploitation of vulnerable individuals, regardless of the specific cause of their v

Just because you don't like what I'm saying does not mean that it's not true. ADHD is very misunderstood. This review is almost a decade old, but it should help correct some common misconceptions: https://sci-hub.s

> SOME of them are. Yes, it's true that not all of them are. But the first line treatment is pretty much always a stimulant, and non-stimulant pharmacotherapies for ADHD tend to not be as successful. The main class of drugs consider

I only have 2 years of med school and 12 years of biochem. So cringe.

What does this have to do with talking about math? Title is rather misleading.

by epgui 3y ago
Yes, but no more than a non-Bayesian’s. The difference is mainly that the Bayesian approach makes more of its assumptions explicit.

You ask the right questions, and what you’re suggesting is correct.

MRSA is everywhere now, so being colonized by it is pretty much the norm. Most S. aureus is MRSA in many parts of the world.

Racemic means 1:1. You can’t have a 3:1 racemic mixture. The vast majority of adderall prescriptions are XR. Enantiomers are structurally “the same molecule” (or people often speak this way depending on the context) but with different optic

IR (instant release) is the opposite of XR (extended release). I said and meant XR. I don’t even think IR should be used anymore, except maybe in super niche situations (I’m not even sure if I can think of any situation where it makes much

Why do you think methamphetamine would be more effective than amphetamines?
617.
by epgui 3y ago
No. Adderall is normally prescribed in the XR formulation (meaning it's an extended/slow release capsule), and has amphetamine as the active ingredient. Methamphetamine is a different molecule altogether, and typically it's n

by epgui 3y ago
I'm a biochemist and I completely disagree with your take. There are very few situations where prescribing methamphetamine is reasonable. It's a niche drug. Even XR formulations of Adderall are considered a blunt instrument compar

Some amount of energy may be lost to the environment without heating up the intended space/object, although it is usually a relatively small amount.

I think you're putting words in my mouth. I meant everything I wrote literally and there was no subtext between the lines.

This just sounds to me like you don't know a whole lot about the philosophy of law and you think it's not worth learning or thinking about.

That's not at all what engineering is. Engineering is the application of science (including mathematics) to solve technical problems and/or optimize processes. An engineer also has to eat lunch in order to function, but engineerin

I don't want to be dismissive of set theory, because it has an extremely rich History and is still seen by most as the foundation of maths, but I believe there are some fundamental issues with it that make type theory a more appropriat

Yes. Also follow the chemistry, and follow the maths. Any answer other than "yes" falls squarely in the anti-intellectual category... But of course all the usual pragmatism applies unless you are a point particle having indefinite

My two cents as a professional engineer coming from biochem: While computer science / programming is very young and light on the science side, it has solid foundations in mathematics, and the mathematics that are true today will always

Well, I think I know what your mistake is, because I made the same mistake for a long time before I realized the error of my ways. Intuition and deep understanding is important, and you won't go far without it. It's arguably the m

by epgui 3y ago
This is actually a rare instance of the grain of salt being unnecessary. Depending on the type system, it is possible for it to guarantee that the only source of error be in your specification and not in your implementation.

I don’t think the two pictures are isomorphic. The word “isomorphic” means that it is a bijection that preserves structure from one set to another, but I don’t really see that here beyond a superficial aesthetic similarity. One thing that i

If you don’t have a good intuition for and understanding of the concepts, how can you know when it’s appropriate to cut corners / use various approximation techniques on messy data? Or how can you combine a bunch of techniques for real
