One thing I wonder is what makes intelligence "special" so that there are no differences, as compared to other physical traits where you do see differences between ethnicities?

I somehow doubt that NFTs provide a sustainable way of increasing the amount of money spent on art. If an artist couldn't make it by selling prints or collecting donations in the past, why would people now suddenly spent more money on that artist's art just because instead of a print you get an NFT?
Epidemiologists conducted an extensive investigation to trace the origin and also didn't find any connection whatsoever with the lab. I'm not sure why every theory that doesn't involve the lab is forced to conform to the assumption that epidemiologists know everything there is to know about the source of COVID, something epidemiologists themselves didn't claim when identifying the wet market as the initial superspreader event, most likely from animals or traders originating from unknown regions outside the city.

Of course a novel coronavirus - especially one that does not produce severe or unusual symptoms in most infected people - is more likely to be identified when it becomes established in a city where it spreads quickly to many people with access to good healthcare, not a rural area where there are fewer people and more basic healthcare which infected people are less likely to use. This is why the outbreak of the original SARS novel coronavirus was identified in an urban area 1000 miles from the suspected zoonotic source of the virus, not in the neighbouring village whose unidentified inhabitants (or animal produce) most likely transmitted it to the city. It is not me "shifting the goalposts" that you continue to pretend I didn't point that out in my first post.

Git is essentially web3 technology and was meant to be decentralized however, it all ended up being pretty centralized by a few players like GitHub. I envisage the same happening to ‘crypto’ type stuff like the use of exchanges, etc.
Not really, if you're being pedantic. Web 3.0 was used by Tim-Berners Lee to describe Semantic Web as it was meant to be "Web 2.0 + Semantic Web = Web 3.0", while Web3 (notice lack of space + lack of ".0") was coined by Ethereum (and Gavin Wood if I'm not mistaken) to describe it's client SDK/API for it's users.

Web 3.0 didn't go anywhere, and Web3 has now seemingly changed meaning from Ethereum API to whatever the word means now (which seems to be different depending on who you ask)

Generally speaking in clinical settings there are rough estimates of base rates of diseases available, either through biological theory (eg, mutation rates) or empirical studies or both. Not always to be sure, but often enough to mitigate against some of the problems discussed.

> Will we? I am not convinced.

Not everywhere, and likely not in America. In Europe it’s not as unthinkable. Climate regulations are having real impact on people’s lives, and yet there is support for them. Spun by the right politician as a ‘free’ savings of XX megatons of carbon, outlawing PoW would be an easy sell. And with a massive bloc like Europe not participating in a certain crypto will definitely reduce the global attractiveness of that crypto.

I don’t have a crystal ball and of course I can’t say this will definitely happen. But I think it’s plausible.

Mask regulations in the parts of Europe that I’m familiar with were largely followed.

STRONGLY disagree. Wordpress is plenty professional looking and modern, and makes it dead simple to find a hosting service, create a site, choose a theme, and start writing content.
> If a new tech is used mostly to scam people

Is blockchain-related projects actually "mostly" used to scam people though? When the internet first appeared, plenty of people made claims that the internet would just be used for crime and scams, but eventually came to realize the value of it, as the use-cases grew month by month.

The last time I compared hosting prices of AWS with self-hosting. AWS based hosting would have cost us every three month the cost of buying over the top speced server hardware. These numbers are not directly comparable, but they are a large difference to account for colocation and maintenance. And we never managed to get a similar performance of postgres on AWS compared to the self-hosted version we use now. But the main advantage is the simplification you get. It is certainly not easier to use you own hardware, but it is far simpler.

> You find that to be a perfectly fine and fair thing to happen?

I think I've already conceded the fact that I don't. But let's look at it from a different angle.

1. What should be the appropriate reaction to being called a hateful ethnic slur?

2. Perhaps more importantly, what gives you the right to decide what that is?
I am reading it at the moment. I like the writing style and it is an interesting subject, but I am bit hampered by my lack of knowledge about chemistry.
As to actually answer the question, since the sibling comment ignores the question you make: Web3 was/is the name of Ethereum client API SDKs, so was used by the Ethereum group. As for who coined it, I think it was Gavin Wood.
I don't think I have, it sounds like you think I'm saying false negatives are the inverse of false positives? Not at all, that's obviously not true.

I was surprised at 'sensitivity and specificity' (jointly) being considered different from 'false negatives and false positives' (jointly).

The given reasoning was about population differences, which.. fair enough, I understand that makes a difference, I just wasn't aware that was a standard difference in definition (if it is) and suggested the up thread commenter wasn't (or wasn't meaning to use it) either.

> correctly identify presence of the condition 95% of the time, while correctly identifying absence of the condition 90% of the time. We can immediately answer the first question: when the answer is "yes", the test will say "no" 5% of the time. You have proposed that when the test says "no", the answer is "yes" a share of the time that might be the inverse of 5%, or perhaps 5% itself. I have no idea what you meant -- and I suspect you didn't either

10%. 'inverse', as I called it, of 90%, not 95%.

(That's why I think you think I think (..!) that false negatives/positives rates are derivable from one another. Sorry if not and I'm just still not getting it...)

I don't think I am misunderstanding though - Wikipedia calls them 'true pos/neg rate', and gives formulae for false pos/neg rates as 1-true:

Samsung promises “groundbreaking” new TV feature: NFT support
Switched all my social stuff to mobile web apps only. I have a web app shortcut for Twitter but it doesn't notify or bug me. (Same for insta, LinkedIn, hacker news, reddit).

I clear cookies on exit too so I gotta log in every time.

They are there if I need them for something specific or if I'm really truly board enough to open my password safe log in, get the 2fa txt, reset my timeline to chronological . . ..

I found the shear amount of obnoxious notifications that would trick me into opening the app or the low barrier to entry to be more than I wanted. And the WebApps that log out every time do a lot less tracking.

Won't work for everyone but it's been pretty good for me.

Ive also given longer form writing a first class experience, my news papers, Kindle, Patreon, pocket, overdrive have replaced the spots where I had social apps.

> Are they calculated directly based on combinatorial arguments?

Yes. Most of the extremely low p-values come from binomial tests with a very low binomial probability p_bin relative to the fraction of positive outcomes. For example,

> We identified 45 point mutations that were introduced in Branch O (hereafter referred to as “pre-outbreak mutations.”) We observed that the pre-outbreak mutations were over-represented in ORF S (P = 1.2 × 10−13, binomial test with the expected probability equal to the length of ORF S relative to the SARS-CoV-2 genome).

So p_bin = len(ORF S)/len(genome). The spike protein sequence (ORF S) is roughly 1300 bases and the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome is roughly 30 kilobases long, yielding p_bin ≈ 0.04. If there are 45 total pre-outbreak mutations, and assuming they ought to be uniformly distributed across the genome (big assumption, BTW!), then seeing 17 of them occur in the spike protein sequence would yield a binomial p-value (one-sided test) on the order of 1e-13.

The other low p-values either also come from binomial tests with similarly low binomial probabilities relative to positive outcomes, or from Fisher exact tests with gross imbalances between categories (and high counts to back those up).
Imagine a laptop that was just E-Cores but 1.5x the IPC, a la some future M-revision but with defects where they only shipped it with say 8 E-Cores ... that'd be perfect for me and even better if it was in the 12-inch MacBook form factor just with an edge-to-edge screen.

> you have no other choice

You always, always have a choice. Throw away the victim and obey mentality. Freedom is taken, not served to you.

When someone send you a trojan horse.virus.exe you do not have to open it. Neither do you have to open a convoluted proprietary binary format requiring you to buy a license to read said binary. Politely decline, reject. You have that power.
In my mind, arguments like this are insignificant at best, and quite possibly harmful. At different times and for different reasons, both Democrats and Republicans have expressed dismay for Section 230 and a desire to get rid of it. The likelihood of Section 230 being in place in its current form 10 years from now seems awfully low.

Our best hope is to discuss ways to improve, narrow, clarify, etc in such a way that we maintain the protections we care most about. If we continue to advocate for no change whatsoever, we risk losing it all.

To me, the best way forward is to revisit the point at which you cease to be a protected service provider and instead become an unprotected publisher. The Facebooks and TikToks of the world act an awful lot like publishers. Treat them like it.
The complaints involving the office were mostly related to his job at MIT, which I referred to as the most cushy academic job I ever heard of for a good reason.

> They invented Another Cloud Thing, namely Lambda@Edge, to solve this.

Yes, designed for usecases like those handled by Cloudflare Workers, which boil down to updating data cached in edge servers without requiring global redeployments or pinging a central server. We're talking about stuff like adding timestamps to images or adding headers to HTTP responses or pre-rendering some HTML or emit CDN-aware metrics.

> Now you can run a JS function for every single request that hits your CloudFront Distribution

Not exactly. Lambda@Edge are event handlers from CDN events. You use them when they suit your needs.

> so that you can run logic in there to strip the prefix before it gets passed to your origin.

Your strawman example doesn't even feature among the dozen examples provided by AWS regarding how to use Lambda@Edge.

Everyone is free to come up with silly ideas and absurd examples, but if you design systems around braindead ideas then that says a lot about you and nothing about the tools you chose to abuse

> You read that right! Execute code every time a request hits your proxy!

Yes, that's what web servers do. What exactly is your point?

> But wait, doesn't executing code for every single request sound insane

It doesn't. That's what a web server does. Moreso, Lambda@Edge (and Cloudflare Workers too) only do it if you explicitly decide to make them do it, to match precisely what you tell them to do.

What point are you trying to make, exactly?

> AND doesn't it also add latency which this was trying to remove?

It does. It adds tens of milliseconds when the alternatives can add hundreds of milliseconds. You're also expected to do basic engineering work and do basic performance work when seeking performance improvements, such as measuring things instead of mindlessly jumping on bandwagons without caring for the outcome.

Mania affects judgement, sometimes severely. Bipolar people go off their meds because they think things will be better without them. Doctors put them on meds in the first place. I don’t think the advice of “just follow the plan” is going to work.

It took me years to get to real stability and meds still suck. The only reason I haven’t gone off my meds is I’m both high-functioning and very used to managing chronic medical problems. I know how to work with my Psychiatrist to manage my own medical care and decide what is and isn’t acceptable to me.

>Some investigation seemed to suggest they were hard excluding any page which hadn't changed in ~5 years.

I had another hypothesis: that they exclude pages which have no backlinks from other websites, and at the same time are hard to reach from front page of the website they are on. It seems old unpopular mailing lists posts and forum posts are exactly like that.
Oh no... I suspect we're going to see this everywhere now.
First: that is an entirely computational study. Computational studies are a great starting point but must be confirmed with real world tests

Second: stability != surface viability. The study literally mentions nothing about the ability of the virus to survive on inanimate objects. Yes some proteins may be more stable in some cases, but we need to test the viability of actual virus particles taken from actual surfaces after varying residence times

Third: all real world evidence and meta-analyses have come to the conclusion of extremely limited to no viability from fomites

Fourth: the part of the study which mentions stability has the following gem:

>Regarding stability scores, the researchers discovered that the stability across all spike proteins ranged between 32.8 and 34.7, slightly below the value of 40 that indicates a protein is structurally unsound.

These proteins are not very stable to begin with, so marginal improvement over wildtype basically says nothing. Not to mention the article does not mention fomites anywhere at all. So you literally cannot draw that conclusion. That is what shitty popsci reporters do, which is the wrong way to interpret research. We just cannot make logical jumps like that when dealing with insanely complex systems which we don't fully understand.

It's going to take way more than a single, limited computational exploration of protein structural stability to convince me of fomite viability. I'm saying this as a formally trained biochemist

> I think a case can be made that Ticketmaster will be replaced (or replace itself) with blockchain tech that will eliminate scalpers.

Blockchain does not do too much to eliminate scalpers. One could easily make thousands of wallets, buy the tickets and then resell them. What stops scalpers is tickets tied to personal identity, and blockchain can't really tie wallets to personal identity without a central physical authority.

> Visa and Mastercard will most likely be replaced

Visa and Mastercard won't be replaced as long as cryptocurrencies do not provide fraud protection or chargebacks (that seems a little bit impossible given the irreversibility of crypto transactions) or credit lines that require less than 100% collateral.

I'm really impressed how far they've taken this idea even as Mozilla has simultaneously been busy dismantling the extension API that made Firefox great.
