EPA safe guidelines are changed all the time often by much more than 1 order of magnitude. E.G. lead has gone from .5ppm being safe (1995) to 20 ppb (2023). If you adopted a life strategy of "only avoid things after scientists have

I hear a lot of people speculate this, but frankly we don't need a million people repeating this theory. We need a few scientists looking into it, and the rest repeating whatever the scientists conclude.

So you're saying the US outpaced areas that didn't have vaccine and didn't even take social distancing seriously? Are we controlling for age and health of the population then?

I don't think you understand. USA had exponentially higher reported deaths because we tested probably 10 to 100x as much as your average country.

Curios if anybody can explain what a 2:4 sparsity pattern is. Are the 2 to be removed picked randomly?

Really? It seems obvious to me. During the learning stage we want input from every variable so that we are sure that we don't omit a variable that turns out to be essential for the calculation. However in any calculation a human does 9

I like this idea. I think we can dismiss the most literal/extreme interpretation of this (as most commenters seem to be doing), but when I look at most of us I find we are more likely to forecast with overconfidence than underconfidenc
