Data from periods of forced conscription would correct for that bias, but would introduce the new bias of a 4-F control group. Is there a fancy statistical trick to combine the data and eliminate both biases?

Might want to try metal cleaning products like Brasso or Neverdull, instead—with the caveat that you definitely want gloves and possibly want ventilation while using those.
Another electrolyte option: Snake Juice . I’ve used this while fasting 4+ days several times, and it is a massive improvement over just salt. I make it in partial batches, more concentrated, and then drink plain water until I feel balanced:
khafra twist on snake juice--1tsp baking powder, 1 tsp No-Salt, 1/2tsp Himalayan salt, 20-30oz water. Take a magnesium pill with it, and drink water slowly over the next hour until it feels right.
What would p(treatment) be if you bought a $400 oxygen concentrator off Alibaba, right now?
“Tonic water contains no more than 83 mg of quinine per liter,” according to the FDA. I haven’t found any tonic water brands that say how close they come to that threshold, but 3 2L bottles of tonic water per day could keep you well-hydrated *and* protected.
I considered that, but I touch all kinds of surfaces that are 0-2 degrees separate from my mucous membranes with my knuckles: the insides of my pockets, the palm of my other hand, my chin, etc.
Is there any minimally-weird, non-awkward way to handle public door handles and buttons? Using your sleeve is terrible, because you don’t wash your sleeve several times a day, and the virus can survive until your next clothing wash. Some sort of small but sturdy copper/bronze manipulator that could be put in a copper-lined case in your pocket, maybe?
*Follow-up edit 2y later*: It turned out that surfaces weren’t a big infection danger, just like EGI said. I also found a kickstarted L-shaped brass manipulator. I put it on my lanyard for work, and have been using it to push publicly-used buttons and open doors. I haven’t gotten covid yet.
If you’re doing things in a group, instead of alone, useful subsets of this framework could be the standard OPSEC process and controls for classified information. There’s some pretty big Chesterton’s Fences around them.
The OPSEC process is meant specifically for when you’re planning a specific activity, the value to the adversary of information about your plans will diminish rapidly as you conclude that specific activity, but any hint as to your plans might be detrimental. So, it’s more of a set of guidelines than a specific policy or procedure, and encourages thinking about how many decibels of probability you’re allowing access to.
Controls for classified is meant for information that will be harmful even after the conclusion of a specific activity. It’s the converse of the OPSEC process: A large collection of highly detailed policies and procedures for marking and protecting information. It’s certainly a bit heavyweight for independent research groups smaller than the Manhattan Project, but some principles could apply; like a central classification authority to reduce the cognitive load of marking your products, and uniform procedures for handling products with each level of marking.
the same line of reasoning is experienced by many other minds and we should reason as if we have causal power over all these minds.
Luckily, the world we live in is not the least convenient possible one: The relevant mind-similarity is not the planning around hoarding food, it is planning based on UDT-type concerns. E.g., you should reason as if you have causal power over all minds that think “I’ll use a mixed strategy, and hoard food IFF my RNG comes up below .05.” (substituting whatever fraction would not cause a significant market disruption).
Since these minds comprise an insignificant portion of consumers, UDT shrugs and says “go ahead and hoard, I guess.”
Tangentially, there’s an upcoming Netflix six-episode series named “The Heavy Water War,” that should cover both this event, and the sabotage of the heavy water production facility that led up to it.
It should be posted, but by someone who can more rigorously describe its application to an optimizer than “probably needs to be locally smooth-ish.”
Point 8, about the opacity of decision-making, reminded me of something I’m surprised I haven’t seen on LW before:
LIME, Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations, can show a human-readable explanation for the reason any classification algorithm makes a particular decision. It would be harder to apply the method to an optimizer than to a classifier, but I see no principled reason why an approach like this wouldn’t help understand any algorithm that has a locally smooth-ish mapping of inputs to outputs.
provably secure software mechanisms rely on an idealized model of hardware
In my experience, they also define an attacker model against which to secure. There are no guarantees against attackers with greater access, or abilities, than specified in the model.
Dave Asprey says, with a reasonably large set of referenced studies, that it’s the mold in food which reduces your fed performance.
If you think this is wrong, take it up with the people whose work I am both quoting and analyzing in this paper, because THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING. I am not the one saying that “the AI is programmed with good intentions”, that is their claim.
I think I spotted a bit of confusion: The programmers of the “make everyone happy” AI had good intentions. But the AI itself does not have good intentions; because the intent “make everyone happy” is not good, albeit in a way that its programmers did not think of.
If that data is encrypted (assuming no headers or footers or obvious block divisions), then it will appear to an attacker like random bytes. Whether or not that’s distinguishable from the original image depends on whether the low bits of the original image are observably nonrandom, and that’s not something I know offhand
It’s super-easy to spot in a histogram, so much so that there’s ongoing research into making it less detectable.
Presumably it’s in conflict with the instrumental values of retaining resources which could be used for other terminal values (the money she would save, going with the fuel cell), and the combination of instrumental and terminal values represented by the improved acceleration of the fuel cell.
Do you have plans for when your term life insurance expires, but you’re still alive (which is, actuarially speaking, fairly certain)?
Sure, but the landlords’ rent/mortgage and grocery bills are being suspended too. If the landlord is a business with multiple employees, those employees’ rent/mortgage and grocery bills are also suspended. It’s option (1) all the way down.
