Priors are not used in construction of frequentist approaches, but that does not mean that the analyses aren't isomorphic in theory. Point distribution <=> point estimate as a sample from an initially flat distribution. A priori

Not true. In frequentist statistics, from the perspective of Bayesians, your prior is a point distribution derived empirically. It doesn't have the same confidence / uncertainty intervals but it does have an unnecessarily overconf

If you start a business without a concrete idea of the timber you need to achieve the idea you have, an axe will be all but useless.

Your statement is one of those "not even wrong" pedantic ploys that falls apart at the lightest sneeze in its direction. Money is the only way to exert pressure on society and narratives. If you think that has no effect on electio

Reinforcing the status quo is one of the primary reasons lobbying is deployed. You can trust that people with money are frugal and only spend when they expect to see a return. If the region was going to go that way anyway, then the lobbying

It has nothing to do with oversight and everything to do with extralegal means of enforcing your win.

I may use different definitions than you, but I put it as "they conflate rationality and reason".

"Open source" means the source code is open to the public for reading and copying. Licenses have complicated the idealistic definition to restrict copying, but that is only within the context of taking credit (ie implicit relicens

The difference is that you have theory of mind of your human counterparts -- you can trust that their reasoned explanations are consistent with what you know about them. I have not encountered an agent yet that I can trust in the same way.

Functional requirements are known knowns. Out of bounds behavior is sometimes a known unknown, but in the era of generated code is exclusively unknown unknowns. Good luck speccing out all the unanticipated side effects and undefined behavio

We need to cast off the idea that all of our data should be accessible from every device, or that a personal computer is the one hub of all of our data. It's so 90's. It's giving "computer room". This seems like a

Yours is such an unspecific criticism it's impossible to take seriously.

So they ask people to self-report for control, then measure actual time for treatment? Holy scientific methodology, Batman.

Visuospatial abstraction as distinct from visuospatial perception / interpretation is the dichotomy in question here. I have a fine mind's eye and a functional inner voice. I'm speaking to the difference between, say, a r

Many concepts can be represented in language but currently are not. Making up new words doesn't change the bounds of what's representable, only what's represented. Still, there can be concepts which are not representable by t

Spatio-temporal, auditory models, etc. are themselves abstractions, sure. But they are fundamentally different in kind, in that those models respond to immediate sensory stimuli. Per se, they do not allow for abstract reasoning over interna

Fascism is an overly simplistic ideology, hence the obvious description. It was just an example. I'm not sure what you thought the other commenter was trying to say either but they were just recalling a specific example to stay on topi

They can only conceive and reason about those concepts if the language they are using supports them. There are many concepts not yet expressed in language, but that doesn't mean that any single language can represent every concept.

Language constrains your perception of reality to only the set of concepts conceivable within that language. Agents who only speak Rust have no conception of what runtime errors are, for instance. Fascists won't understand concepts lik

We have to make sure each button loads sequentially on the screen in the "Accept" position, starting with the "Cancel" button before moving it to its eventual home. This ensures you never develop quick navigation habits

The day Google pulls the plug on source code releases is the day the open source community forks the last release... Not sure what this fatalism is about but it's a hysterical take.

They're rough approximations of conditioned distributions qua Bayesian statistics. You may treat them as such. Hence why random forests have such enduring power.

That would be detectable by the FAA and they would send the FBI after you, unless you used a junk toy drone but that would not cover much distance between charges.

The thesis of this piece is effectively "causality is the inevitable destination of science" paired with the corrolary that "correlation is not causation". Statistics is a field with very limited insights. Once you apply
