Do you have any peer reviewed studies that contradict my common sense and intuition?

Another way would be, for every 1 piece of art you make, post 10 AI generated arts, so that the SNR is really bad.

Any chemotherapy that damages the immune system should be avoided.

Seems like a really good case study in how complex engineering technologies become unknowable overtime and this leads to a collapse as understanding of the core product declines.

Or a tumor :)

It is certainly strange that the final goal of academia is basically to create an org. Totally different from the image of the idealized scientist to me. But this does allow a lot of people to work in science. It probably allowed me to get my foot in the door when I wouldn't have otherwise.

it's data mining.

data mining. So much scientific pollution these days.

I was overscheduled in high school and constantly sleep deprived from doing too much. However, shifting the school day forward 1 hour or 2 would not have helped me since it would have just shifted my whole day forward 1-2 hours, as I was completely 'booked' with sports/homework. I think another problem is that a lot of people plan for a certain amount of sleep, but then stay up late due to devices, which is a new, modern problem that I think is actually very severe given the addictiveness of apps. Judging other commenters here, I am pessimistic about people's ability to self-delude themselves into thinking they or their kids don't have a screen problem, and just need the schedule to be shifted forward.

and on the other side of this, adding an hour or two will not solve the problem if kids then stay up an additional hour or two on their apps, which will certainly happen. People are being incredibly dishonest with themselves on this issue.

I fail to understand why the terminology matters. If you need to make a decision then there will be a threshold in the probability that will determine it. It doesn’t matter if you call it p values or anything else.

> If your hypothesis is that A is greater than B, then you're test boils down to "The probability that A is greater than B", which is arrived at through parameter estimation via Bayes' Theorem.

but even in this situation you would need a threshold for decision making, i.e. a p-value.

What is a “prior” in the context of hypothesis testing? That seems to me to be a concept used in parameter estimation, with Bayes rule. But hypothesis testing is not parameter estimation.

But I don't see p-values as connected to frequentist statistics. Rather, p-values are a concept that applies to the problem of hypothesis testing, which both frequentist and bayesian statistics should apply to, right? And in both cases you would use a p-value. The unique thing that Bayesian statistics can do is fit parameters can calculate uncertainty in those parameters, which does not contradict any of the concepts of hypothesis testing.

I've never heard anyone promote frequentist statistics. I've only ever heard Bayesians on the 'offense' talking about why their framework is better. To be clear I am someone who doesn't really understand the faultlines.

"In mice" is really hard to achieve.

The already harvest their organs, including skin.

It’s not such a far leap to include blood as well. Any resemblance to old stereotypes is an unfortunate consequence of the Israelis own actions.

To reiterate my comment since it was flagged, made invisible, and then quoted out of context: "This area of research will yield a lot of nightmares - young billionaires unintentionally giving themselves cancer in an attempt to preempt aging, old Israelis using young Palestinians as blood bags, lots of mice being killed for nothing..."

but epigenetics usually stores information over much shorter timescales than generations. For example, cellular identity is stored epigenetically - whether a cell is a neuron or a white blood cell.

Now I'm thinking of an elf named Sildenafil.

In real life the sophisticated cyber warfare consists of making posts on Reddit and other forums.

Happiness is a false idol. The key to happiness is to lower your standards for what you expect out of life. This leads to an uncreative state of being - because why would you create anything, the world is good as it is. And creating is just too hard. But this uncreative "last man" is someone that I certainly would not hold in esteem. Give me a tortured artist instead.

Why do people love JavaScript and want everything written in it?

Very little innovation in programming languages has happened regarding new realities at the hardware level especially transition from serial to parallel execution.

> It is currently setting up roadblocks in Gaza to prevent civilians from moving south away from the targeted areas.

You mean that they're preventing civilians from going to an area Israel is bombing anyways?

I think people are accusing Israel of atrocity propaganda. You may be misunderstanding the submitter.

with laundauers phenomenon, the heat (and entroy) is exported to the environment, and is not retained in the computer.

Landauer's principle says that heat is sent into the environment in response erasing bits. entropy is increased in the environment, not the computer.

Unfortunately these statistical physics models help about as much as statistical physics models would help in deciphering the x86 instruction set architecture from the activity of the microchip - very little. Too much averaging. Computation is entropy 0 phenomena.

Britain, you just lion, great job.

iirc interferon gamma is a cool sounding name but what it does is more esoteric than say interferon alpha or beta, which more directly activate immune response at the site of release.
