No, this is a standard example of a claim you cannot make with frequentist statistics, and can only make with a Bayesian credible interval.

In frequentist statistics, the true population parameter is fixed, not random, so the claim "the relative risk will be less 0.65 2.5% of the time" has no meaning. The 95% claim is that if we repeatedly sample new data, 95% of the time we will generate a confidence interval covering the true parameter; but that does not say anything about the individual confidence interval in this specific case, about which we have no probability claim. Indeed, it's not clear what a 95% chance would mean for a specific interval, since probability in frequentist statistics is defined in terms of long-run probabilities over repeated samples of data.

But the impulse to interpret confidence intervals in a Bayesian way is common, since it's the question we want confidence intervals to answer. You can find a lot of academic papers arguing about this as a sign of the inadequacy of frequentist statistics.

Afaik there are no agricultural fields surrounding London nor there is any fresh see-food to speak of. I've visited London only once 10 years ago but I don't remember any fishermen bringing their catch in the morning in downtown London and I'm pretty sure things have not changed since then.

Later edit: Please do substantiate your point in what you think makes London food great, with some examples, maybe I've been living in the dark all this time in thinking that a place that glorifies "fish and chips" cannot be the "culinary capital of Europe".
To me this sounds a lot like how CRDT works (just simpler and not rigorously proven).

e.g. making deterministic changes to some data before you've heard back from any sort of central single-source-of-truth.

Difference with CRDT is that the goal is to never actually hear back from a central authority and still have consistency between clients.

Maybe this is a sort of hybrid CRDT/OT.

When the boys were young, I found them all over the house, each alone with their game. So I bought the table, drilled holes in the middle for cable routing, wired a switch and power strip. Put all the household computers on the table.

Now when playing computer games, it was a social event. Instead of silence in dark rooms, they were laughing and talking as they played. Discovered lots of cooperative games, had friends over, LAN parties etc.

These days ('kids' are 30) its a place for laptops when family is home for holidays. Otherwise sometimes I print some complex code and spread it out on the table, mark it up. Or lay out hardware that I'm working on. Or do surgery on a desktop box. Or pile parts waiting for assembly.
COVID-19 is two diseases. One is the obvious one that is killing thousands of people, where their own body is breaking down and fighting against them.

Cool, I've checked your code and it's not zero suppressed BDDs, although it might not be a performance gain if you used ZDDs.

I'm enjoying it, I like working from home and I prefer to interact with people in text or voice calls over face to face.

That's true because in Europe (at least in France) there is the concept of direct salary and indirect (or redistributed) salary.

In France if you earn 50k/month, your boss actually pays you ~100k. 50k is going in your pocket, and the other 50k goes to a centralized fund which pays for healthcare, pensions, and unemployment compensations ; things you would have paid for yourself otherwise.

People in France complains a LOT about those 50k that are "lost" but in fact there are "forced savings", or "indirect salary", what they don't realize is that not having a centralized compulsory saving system end would up costing them so, so much more.

Did I understand this correctly? You have a single set of items which you query by evaluating a predicate on each of them and then sort the matching ones. After the initial query you update the query result by looking at all the data update events, i.e. you remove delete items from the result, you insert matching new items in the correct position according to the sort order and you insert, remove, or move updated items as they start or stop matching the predicate and change their position according to the sort order.

Nice try, but when states and municipalities have made anti-food-waste laws, this hasn't happened.

In fact, with a little tweaking, most food businesses can profit from throwing away less food: garbage disposal isn't free, and food donations are a tax writeoff.

Someone I knew in Philadelphia used to trash pick food from the Trader Joe's dumpster. But they caught him on camera and then put up signs, and eventually put a lock on the dumpster. They literally spent money to buy signs and a lock, and pay people to put up the signs and lock the dumpster every night.

There are other ways to get enough reproducibility without the headaches of Nix, however, so that’s what we ended up doing. Reproducibility is nice, but if we need to be able to develop software quickly and for the time being, Nix is an impediment. As previously mentioned, this doesn’t have to be the case; it’s mostly an artifact of lack of documentation and a strong preference for the novel and unfamiliar over the familiar, but also for lack of escape hatches.

Yes this is correct. The performance benefit comes from doing all this stuff on the CPU instead of using disc-io. Also the internal binary decision diagram of EventReduced is optimized in a way to run less logic then a query would do. This makes it even faster then running the query again with an in-memory database.

You misunderstand the goal of social distancing. The goal is to have fewer people get sick at a time so the medical system can care for the sick without collapsing.

You will get sick. Ultimately, unless there is a vaccine (or herd immunity), you will get sick no matter what. The difference is whether you get sick now, and become a number in the statistics of people who die alone in their house because there was no room in the hospital, or you get sick a few months from now once all the equipment and tools are in place, and there is a good triage system in the medical centers.

I think if there's a riot, then the medical system will need to take care of the rioters who end up getting sick all at once (and yes, some of the rioters will die because of lack of care).

So go riot, and take the chance that you will die.

The opposite.

From the evolutionary point of view, a virus has no interest in being deadly: if it kills its host, it can't reproduce itself.

When social distancing (quarantine and lockdown) is enacted, it is harder for a deadly strain of the virus to reproduce and hence survive, as we react to it by putting into place stricter countermeasures. Which strains will thrive? The ones that able to "sneak around" unnoticed, by causing only mild symtomps.

In mobile networks I've only ever seen one UE get one /64, meaning most IPv6 users in the world does not share their /64 with anyone else, if I'm not very mistaken. I think this is standardized in 3GPP but I won't dig for it.

Other sites should get a /56, including home users. That's in RFC 6177. This is a best practice RFC of "shoulds" rather than "musts" so technically it's still IPv6 if your ISP only give you a /64 for your site... but it's wrong.

Your LAN devices (if you only have one LAN in your site, typical for a home) could still all be in the same /64. But the difference between one home and one person is small in the context of tracking for purposes of advertisement and besides, the trackers get extra bits per device which were hidden when the same devices were behind one IPv4 NAT. Poorly hidden, as all devices probably had different user-agents or resolutions and a hundred other things to fingerprint anyway but still, slightly less accessible.

I have two questions regarding the time-series aspect of TerminusDB:

1) Does TerminusdB support raw time-series data (one dimensional) for example electrocadiogram (ECG)? At the moment we have them including the metadata in column based CSV format. FYI, the size is around 1 MB for one minute raw ECG data duration.

2) For automated ECG analysis the data is transformed using time-frequency distribution (two dimensional), and the intermediate data must be kept in-memory for feature extraction purpose. Just wondering does TerminusDB can support this intermediate format/structure of time-frequency as well? FYI, the one minute time-frequency ECG data transformed from (1) will need around 4GB of working memory. For real-time analysis of longer ECG data duration from (1), for example 30 minutes duration or 30 MB data size, we need around 3 TB of working memory.

> I have a term for them, “economic reasoning.”

I think this is known as the old joke about the efficient markets: an economist sees a $100 bill on the ground in a public (and frequently walked through) place and, instead of picking it up, decides they must be hallucinating; after all, if there was really a $100 bill on the ground, somebody would've already picked it up.

Real life situations vary in their degree of similarity to a perfectly efficient market, so the "economic reasoning" only makes sense in context. Does the situation involve an efficient enough market for the proposition to be of extremely low probability? In terms of reviewing scientific papers, I don't think you can assume that with enough confidence to use it as a sole reason to reject a paper.

I think Eliezer wrote a whole book on it: https://equilibriabook.com/. It's probably relevant to Leslie's situation.
These were almost all languages of a particular class, usually the ruling class. And typically the establishment of a lingua franca involved the suppression of other local languages - the story of French is a classic example.
This is a great question. Our approach here is that there are certain processes that can be easily modeled and digtized, and others that are not. For those that are not (a complex payroll system), we aim to provide a more "informal" way of managing them. That is, there are a series of steps that need to be made, but you can collaborate on top of these steps in a more informal manner (by commenting, tagging people, uploading documents, etc).

We have found that even in complex processes, there are steps that need to be followed. For the uncertain aspects of that process, it is best to just describe it at a very high level and use the informal collaboration I just described.
You're vastly underestimating what modern AI can guess about you given enough "chatting with friends" data volume.

>Buridan’s ass starves because it cannot make the discrete decision of which pile of hay to eat, a decision based upon an initial position having a continuous range of values, within the bounded length of time before it starves

I don't see how that follows. Seems like a sibling problem rather than a generalization.

The ass would starve even if the decision was among two same otherwise discrete options with no continuous range of values in between (e.g. state -1 (left hay), 0, and 1 (right hay)), since there still wouldn't be a reason to prefer -1 to 1.
