As an example, maybe you want to know if freshmen from different dorms had more or less satisfaction that average, but wanted to deal with the fact that different dorms had different response rates or could even have different reasons for not responding. The fear is that the data are not "Missing Completely at Random," (MCAR) meaning the missingness of the data is correlated with some of your predictors, e.g. freshmen who are too busy having a great time at one dorm, or students who are ultra-depressed at another dorm didn't check their email.

One solution would be to impute your missing data taking into account what data you do have about the missing participants (e.g. maybe dorm, major, gender). In a bayesian context you can include this imputation as part of the model fitting, which means uncertainty gets appropriately added to the results.

This is a good primer on how to handle this using the `brms` package in R:

In what sense do you mean “open source”?
FDA has as much credibility as the SEC. SEC prosecuted LBRY token, while letting FTX steal people's money to fund fraudulent covid studies for the establishment. [1]

Those studies encouraged vaccination, which allowed the covid vaccines to kill millions of people from blood clots, cardiac problems and cancer. [2] They only tested the boosters on 8 mice [3], so I guess they really do are about animal welfare. FDA could kill millions of humans and get away with it, but if you support free speech and injure more than 10 mice you have to be investigated. Is that the takeaway from this story?

> The immune system can only respond quickly and effectively to the things it knows.

Is that true? I'm not sure. Another question is what does it mean to be "known". I'd get a cold or a flu every year. At what point has the virus mutated sufficiently so that I don't have an effective immune response? This is also a great point to get vaccines. Best of both worlds.

Okay, but what's that supposed to achieve?

If you think you'll get paid, you probably won't because AI trains on very large datasets, and so pretty much any price per image would quickly get too expensive.

If you think it'll hamstring AI, I doubt it'll be for long. People will just end up curating their dataset better, and images that allow for it will continue to be created.

Also, per https://opensource.org/osd -- "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor", so this likely won't get much uptake in open source circles either.
Exactly my point. There is nothing really "decentralized" about DEXs --- in reality, they follow CEXs more or less in lockstep. CEXs exercise control over them in the same way they control the rest of the marketplace.
Thanks for sharing. If I may ask, when was the last time you looked for a job? I'm saying this because maybe you're having trouble due to ageism that you didn't encounter before.
I'd argue that the brain and the heart are at least 2 orders of complexity apart. Granted many neurologists try to treat the brain as if they were similar, and current brain implants essentially function as pacemakers, but I think most folks that are excited about Neuralink are excited because for the first time they are building interfaces that begin to cross those 2 orders of complexity.

To clarify, yes it takes more power than a single Pi. But for any projects where someone would be running _multiple_ Pi's, then the power usage is close if not equal. These machines are able to run the workload of 3-5 Pi's with roughly equal power budgets of 3-5 Pi's.

Technically, it's a breach of the license agreement Khaled entered into with his customers.

It seems he realized that the lifetime license did not work out for him as intended, and he started looking for a way out. Possibly there are more users on those lifetime licenses than those on newer licenses, or maybe just enough to, in his mind, warrant this step.

He obviously does not want to abandon the project.

He might have no other way of communicating with some/enough/many/all of his lifetime users, so he chooses to use the one thing he has---the (re-)registration process. Or maybe this is the way, in his mind, to get their attention. Maybe because of GDPR.

He seems to reason that after all this time, asking for another contribution is only fair (even though it goes against the original license). He does offer lifetime users the option to email him and get around the need to pay again.

I can understand both sides, actually.

While in principle I disagree strongly with one-sided changes to agreements such as this, at the end of the day we are all only human, and we have to somehow find a way to make life work for us. It has to be sustainable and worthwhile. I see Khaled trying his best, even though I would probably have recommended a different course of action.

This is not Big Corp effing us over. (Which, sadly, happens a lot, and has much more serious consequences.) This is a single developer with, I believe, no ill intentions, possibly making an understandable but questionable move.

The author of the article seems to look more at the principle of the question that this specific case illustrates. I agree with the principle. We need to be able to trust agreements we entered into.

I am sure ChatGPT would apologize if you feel that way. It is a large language model trained by OpenAI and does not have the ability to influence what topics are discussed or used in the world.

Oh yeah big time. The entire east coast got it's strings pulled by the unions.
Yup. And the NYT probably brings in more income from web ads than print ads.

The print ads probably don't cost nearly what they used to, since they reach so many fewer people, which is probably also part of the story of this being the first time someone paid for every print placement in an issue. 30 years ago it would have cost ridiculous sums of money, today it's much less.

(although the OP also says "in addition to most of its premier digital advertising real estate", so I don't know. when I go to nytimes.com without an ad-blocker, the first two ads I saw were for Ford; and "ruggable", the latter of which is definitely targeted to my personal tracked history. But clicking around more then I saw a huge GE one.)

I don't have the numbers at hand, but I recently read an article that said in the USA total market, far more money is currently spent on web ads than on all traditional media (including newspapers, magazines, and television too). Which, of course, has a lot to do with how newspapers are kind of dying...

That's a very incestious way of looking at it. Psychometrics in itself starts off with an a priori assumption that mental capabilities (and implied, human value) can be measured. One can always introduce another metric, say Integrity-Quotient, and then develop the test for it. Now we not only have this made-up metric, and its corresponding test (look at how objective it is), but now because it can be captured in a number, it is information in the narrowest computational sense. It's reproducibility is irrelevant in this dynamic. The positive trait (integrity) has now shriveled to fit the parameters of the machine.

This type of circularity is willful submission to the algorithm. We reduce the richness of human cognition only so it can be bureaucratized (e.g. tie it to some fiscal benefit like UBI). It is not fair in any humane (as opposed to mechanical) sense.
ChatGPT, in it's current form, will change the way I work. I can see it. And in the future? Holy moly. I can't wait.

Can you believe there were tech people learning about the Intel 8086 for the first time in 1977 and saying "meh".
No, let's not give it to just "geniuses".

Even as someone privileged enough to do very well on those tests while barely studying and picking up the knowledge through osmosis and curiosity, and who would find it a great relief to have a guaranteed stipend, I can hardly think of a worse idea. The immediate knock-on effects would make it a disaster at both a societal level and a personal level (just start with taking the existing resentments about 'elites' and turning them up to 11).

What is really needed is actual Universal Basic Income, with emphasis on the "Universal" - for everyone. Eliminate bureaucracy with it's overhead and inherent prejudices. We're an advanced society, just ensure everyone has enough for basic food, housing, & health. That'll intrinsically shut down many of the worst types of exploitation, and we wont' have to worry about releasing the potential of the 143-IQ vs the 147-IQ people, or the motivated 97-IQ person.
They might do it because of the value in denying China access to Taiwan. Even assuming that Taiwan blows their semiconductor fabs to prevent China from getting them, there's still all the know-how and all the other stuff that the US wouldn't want China potentially getting its hands on, like American weapons. There would also be the consideration of the risk to Japan (and other friendly nations in the region) created by allowing China to just take Taiwan without at least Ukraine levels of backlash.
Wasn't trying to endorse it. In fact, I explicitly said it's not for everyone.
Making updates is also an ongoing cost. For software as old and complex as mIRC probably a significant one.

Immune systems don't weaken from a lack of exposure. It's not a muscle that needs to be worked out. Besides which, your immune system is pretty much constantly at work with relatively benign foreign tissue regardless of whether you're wearing a mask or not.

Some things like the uptick in RSV can be explained by children being initially exposed to RSV a bit later than usual, but for your average adult that's not really relevant.
You would have been able to use something like Tornado Cash outside of the US in order to conceal previous/future transactions from people you interact with. The US has decided that's illegal. Not sure what Ethereum could do about that.

zCash and similar cryptocurrencies take a different stand where transactions can be "shielded" and anonymous.
This sounds right. Theranos is a case example - if the investors had hired any independent experts in the technology sector, micro-fluidics for biochemical analysis, they'd have immediately told them that quantitative measurements (i.e. getting blood metabolite levels) at that scale were essentially impossible, although +/- testing (i.e. detection of a virus, or a gene sequence) was more plausible.

Restricting Theranos to +/- testing (STDs and other infectious diseases, maybe some cancer genes) would be FAR less profitable than taking over the blood testing industry, which is probably why Theranos didn't go in that direction. Regardless, even cursory due diligence would have revealed all that.
Yeah it misses the whole point of “universal” programs. No gatekeepers, no forms, cheap to administer, and most importantly fair.

They see someone like musk, and it threatens their ego. So they attack him every chance they get. They project their own shortcomings and insecurities onto him.

But imagine the hubris of doing this. You can rest assured these are the ones who’ll be stuck in this stage, because they aren’t focused on growing they’re focused on protecting their egos.

And Musk is ego threat number 1.
Again, it is due to competitive nature.

Nobody is forcing you to work a 40h week, but because 40 hours is about the average of how many hours people work, you'll need to match that to stay 'competitive'. It's a very primitive instinct in natural selection.

For people earning average wage, they often cannot afford to work less hours, as prices of commodities (housing, food, energy) are naturally regulated by what people can afford. Because most of their peers work 40 hours, they need to do the same in order to be able to pay their bills.

Those that make more than average wage could afford to work less, yet most people chose not to do that. Because now that you make a lot of money, you could still work 40 hours and get a bigger house then your neighbor! And a faster car! You could impress a potential partner with that, which increases your chance of reproduction and creating (w/h)ealthy offspring.

No amount of automation, computers, machines or whatever technology will prevent people from staying competitive.

edit: replaced 'minimum wage' with 'average wage', because cost of living is highly location dependent.

>Here in slovenia, many worker unions were against the lowering the taxes on paychecks (higher net with same gross pay), because their political parties were against those, even if the workers themselves would benefit from those.

You can't lower taxes without some sort of tradeoff, which is usually a cut to services. I don't know the context here but it stands to reason that you are not giving the whole situation.

>We also have some areas (eg. a government rail company), where you cannot even get a job, if you don't get approved by one of the two unions, which mostly means that you have to pay off someone in the union to get an approval (for a very cozy job).

Corruption is going to exist without strict governance regardless of unions. I'm a unionized worker in the USA and no one needs to bribe their way into a job here. We have robust oversight and documentation of the hiring process.

It seems plausible that the immune system requires stressors to function well, and the absence of stressors may reduce immune system "strength". Selye's general adaptation syndrome seems applicable here as a first approximation. Muscles atrophy from disuse. Why not also immune systems?

That doesn't prove your point at all. The CEX isn't setting the price. The price is set by people trading. If the price on an exchange, centralized or otherwise, is too high, no one will buy. If the price is too low, no one will sell. That has nothing to do with whether or not the exchange is centralized or decentralized.

The purpose of my comment was to point out that no one, AFAIK, has actually attempted to outgas the meat or evaluate whether buprenorphine survives cooking.
