I really liked Judea Pearl take on RCTs in his "The Book of Why". It is not much of the history or philosophy, but he show why RCTs works, why randomness do the trick, he does it from the standpoint of a wider theory of a causation that can explain not just RCT but also other methods of untangling causes and effects, and therefore it becomes easy to him to talk why RCTs may not work.

My Partner, who is 66 years old, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last year. We noticed that he was experiencing hallucinations, slow movement, disturbed sleep, and twitchy hands and legs when at rest. He had to stop taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa, and 2 mg of biperiden because of side effects. Our family doctor recommended a PD-5 treatment from naturalherbscentre. com, which my husband has been undergoing for several months now. Exercise has been very beneficial. He has shown great improvement with the treatment thus far. He is more active now, does more, and feels less apathetic. He has more energy and can do more activities in a day than he did before. As far as tremors I observe a progress, he improved drastically. I thought I would share my husband's story in case it could be helpful, but ultimately you have to figure out what works best for you.

This seems very unlikely to me given the propensity of finance firm to hire even college athletes never mind people who got to be in the top one or 200 of their sport in the world. Anyone who is capable of pushing the work in day after day to get a good at some thing that doesn’t very well like sport is capable of putting enormous amount of work day after day to get good at something that does pay well. Most famously jocks are good at sales. Athletes are no fools. Often of the top of my head Michael Jordan has had a very successful career as an investor after the end of his sporting career. Michelle Debruin, and Irish Olympic gold medallist in swimming, went on to become a Barrister, a trial lawyer in the American parlance. The people who stay in Borsh are staying in sports because they really really love i,t not because they’re not capable of making more money in other ways.

Because you're doing more work per line.

A 20 KLOC Python program is not more complicated than the 100 KLOC C program performing the same function. Quite the contrary. But if you're comparing 100 KLOC of C to 100 KLOC of Python, the Python program may seem unwieldy.

> Polls consistently show that the majority of Americans want congress to work and they don't like the government shutdowns obstructionists cause.

Those same polls show they believe their own representative is doing an adequate job - which is my point:

There’s no “obstruction” there, just frustration that your faction doesn’t have the votes to achieve your desired policy because some groups don’t agree with you.

> there are also situations where a policy has majority support but is still held up or prevented by obstructionists

Policies overwhelmingly favored by the majority of Americans are generally blocked by establishment candidates — at a rate far higher than “obstructionists”.

> He has no reason to stop being an obstructionist though, because how the people feel about him doesn't impact his ability to keep his job.

People he doesn’t represent can’t impact this job — correct.

And again, we’re seeing that you’re just upset by democracy itself: that you can’t force representatives on people and accordingly, can’t achieve what you want without their support.

Your entire post was nothing but deranged bashing of political rivals when you can’t achieve you policy objectives due to their opposition.

No I didn't, I understand what they have done to skirt the regulations but that is what I mean. It's so easy to get around the regulations, even the new one, they have no teeth. It's clear the companies are acting in bad faith but there is no recourse.

If it weren't for companies acting in bad faith, they wouldn't have to play regulator cat and mouse. If you removed the regulations altogether, your big bakers would be even more lax with allergens and people would get sick.
If you look at the lengths LIGO had to go to in order to eliminate background noise to even be able to theoretically detect gravitational waves, it seems very unlikely that a comparatively crude technology from the 80s could have achieved the same things. Like modern lasers or squeezed light states, which were mostly theoretical back then. If I remember correctly, Weber's device was claimed to show a huge amount of events per year, which would indicate tons of GW sources in our neighbourhood. LIGO and the rest of modern astronomy have since disproved that.
I’m not sure what you’re wanting, sorry. The quote that started this reminded me of some principled Christians I’ve admired.

I'm firmly in the Maven is better than Gradle camp. Yes, it's less flexible, that's why I like it.

Gradle might be better if it wasn't a poorly documented Groovy/Kotlin DSL where everything is a closure, but I do like the fact that if you want to do something in Maven you need a plugin that couples to known points in the lifecycle. It makes it explicit what is doing what and where.

And fully agree on the incredible pain of Gradle upgrades.

In general, the conclusions of it are weak because it's a very weak paper. These vegan diets were compared against what? I can't be bothered to follow all sources, but this paper doesn't seem to pose this question either, which is a noticeable omission which smells of agenda.

> Truth be told, we don't really know that electrons are singularities in the EM field

We do know they aren't such singularities. QFT says they aren't, the electron is a quantum field spread out over an area it isn't a point particle. QFT is the most well tested theory in existence, so if we can't call that "know" then we don't know anything at all in physics.

What we don't know if whether there is limit to how small that quantum field can get, but we do know it can't become a point, due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle that states that for a particle to be a point it would have to have infinite momentum.

Note: Heisenberg uncertainty principle was named at the time when people still believed quantum fields were probability distributions, but since then we have established that the quantum field is the particle and not just a probability of where the particle is. That means the Heisenberg uncertainty principle establishes a relationship between momentum and size instead of just knowledge.
IIRC Putin's First deputy prime minister is also the deputy PM for space, the director of Roscosmos being directly beneath him. Maybe Putin isn't a megalomaniac.

Fentanyl lollipops/patches are useful in rare circumstances where someone can't swallow pills for some reason, like this one. There are other ways of achieving similar effects but its possible fentanyl is the best way to go in this situation. It is a fairly rare situation though.
I did understand that. The regulations have no teeth not because they lack penalties, it's because they are ineffectual atat achieving the goal.

It is clear what the outcome of the regulations was supposed to be, products with sesame and products without. But they were poorly planned regulations, and the companies are more than happy to work to the letter of the law.

But maybe this is actually fine, because a company willing to cleanly process allergen free product can capture that market segment.
No, not a typo. If you translated the two diagrams into classical notation, you’d get the two terms at the top of that page. They’re equal by naturality of alpha, but you need to concentrate on the formula a bit to see it. The great thing about string diagrams is that some of the inconsequential differences “vanish” into topologically identical diagrams.

It seems to be a requirement to have a model trained on a large number of explicit images to generate correct anatomy.

While people have tried going from a base model to a fine tuned model based on explicit images, I wonder if there are people are attempting to go the other way round (train a base model on explicit photographs and other images not involving humans; then fine-tune away the explicit parts), which might lead to better results?

The “public” distinction feels anachronistic when applied to early 1960s software.

This was a time before networks and software distributions. The idea that software could be standardized and shared instead of written for a particular computer was not widespread.

So it’s a bit disingenuous to say that Eliza wasn’t intended as a public chatbot, when practically no software was intended to be public.

I have seen this framed as "evens or odds": instead of asking "heads or tails", you ask "evens or odds". Each person reveals either one or two fingers, and the caller wins if the sum of fingers is in the class of numbers they called.

Being terrified of people who are smarter, wiser, more competent that you is not a healthy reaction. The world is not a hunger games (at least, not yet), so someone being better than you is not an immediate threat to you. However, the writer seems to be a self-centered and hyperambitious kind of person, in which case someone else's success can be seen as a diminishment of one's own accomplishments ("How am I going to climb to the very top if there are some many older people who are better than me?"). But that's obviously unhinged.
