Even if the solar system was ejected, I don’t think anything would change. As long as no large objects came into the solar system to disrupt our orbit of the sun, we probably wouldn’t notice.

Yeah but Eisenhower looks like a crazy person in his portrait, and Nixon looks intelligent. That’s all they were ranking it on.

It’s a snippet of this Financial Times article.

Based on the timing of this post, I’d assume they’re talking about the midterms for offices like Senator, Representative, County Commissioners, Sheriff, etc, which to my knowledge don’t use superdelegates, but I’d be interested to learn if I’m wrong.

Accuracy is defined in relation to a specific population or dataset with a specific rate of disease, not for any individual. To properly characterize the test, you need to know the specificity and sensitivity, and together they tell you how a test will perform on an individual and how much an individual’s pre-test probability increases in the case of a positive test or decreases based on a negative test.

Don’t worry if it’s confusing, Baysean statistics is often counter-intuitive.

If you’re interested, here is a very good 3Blue1Brown video that explains the concept very well.

In the case of trying to minimize false positives, you want the specificity to be high, not necessarily the sensitivity, which is associated with false negatives.

And 97% specificity with a very low pretest probability still results in a low probability for disease, which is why screening for so many diseases is difficult, even if diagnosing them can be easy if there are clinical signs and symptoms in addition the the test. The clinical background can increase the pretest probability significantly, allowing the test to do its job.

A video about pretest probability from Dr. Rohin Francis whose YouTube videos are very informative in general.

Another very relevant video from 3Blue1Brown about the problem.

I don’t think the AI does the speech-to-text, I think that’s the same tech as we’ve had for a while. This is just regular Siri not understanding someone who’s hassle asleep and mumbling.

Not defending sorting by old bc that’s crazy, but there is an option to automatically hide posts you vote on or open to read, so you wouldn’t necessarily be looking at the same thing. You would however be reading months or years old posts and comments and it’d be a little strange to try and respond to anything.

Avoiding amazon is a fair bit easier than AWS. I barely know what websites use AWS

I would argue that early and excessive exposure to very misogynistic porn can be damaging to a child in that it can reinforce that misogyny and bad sexual patterns/ideas.

I would also argue that it is the job of the parent or guardian of said child to make sure the information they get online (or anywhere for that matter) is age-appropriate, and not the job of the state.

These are clearly laws that are either not well thought through or (probably more likely) intentionally limiting of every citizen’s privacy. I don’t think that even if the porn or bullying or whatever problem was as bad as they say it is that this would even be justified.
