@sdonaras @tatiana_papan Ταξικό εννοείς ότι δαγκώνει μόνο αστούς;

@quasistable @bucketofkets @JeffLadish @Aella_Girl I hope you realize we are talking about a machine that doesn't even exist yet. What you are talking about is research. Have them do research and we'll see how it goes, which is how this normally works.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@quasistable @bucketofkets @JeffLadish @Aella_Girl That makes no sense, how is that supposed to bring down the rate of false positives?

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@bucketofkets @JeffLadish @Aella_Girl The "obvious solution" however is not simple to pursue. What you're saying is essentially that we should decrease the rate of false positives, that's what this boils down to. Sure, do that and then maybe getting scanned all the time becomes a good idea.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@VictorTaelin More info is not bad in the abstract, obviously. But carrying out a test that produces many false positives, when accepting the false positive can be really bad, is risky. The "rational" approach here would be to ignore many of the positives. But who's gonna do that?

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@zei_squirrel Hate to admit it but it's not a shitty grift university, good research has come out of it. It's shitty for other reasons though.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@adam_louis52328 @MouinRabbani Ah yes, if you wanted to do [bad thing], you would make it look like [good thing], so actually it is impossible to do good things, good and bad is the same.

Peak of human intellect.

@karch_andreas @bcubeddd @zei_squirrel The difference at this point is quantitative, not qualitative...

@manoskol @xstefanou Ναι γιατί τους πήγε τέλεια την πρώτη φορά, και η δεύτερη θα τους πάει καλύτερα ακόμη τώρα που το Ιράν είναι πιο προετοιμασμένο να κάνει το ίδιο ακριβώς πράγμα που έκανε και την πρώτη.

@Asmodeus1204 @xstefanou Ό,τι να ναι. Το 90% από αυτούς έχει αλλάξει τροπάριο τελείως τα τελευταία 10 χρόνια.

@stringking42069 @Hassaan_PHY Hey, dude just turned down a job, it's none of our business.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 I'm trying!

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 Maybe. But I don't like where physics is going tbh. Things were rough for grad students already and now it's getting even worse somehow.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 Both are big parts of physics though. It's kind of depressing.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 I looked it up and I'm trying to figure out the point. Have people forgotten what the point of a book is?

Idk all this shit seriously makes me wanna quit, I didn't sign up for this.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@ThomasVanRiet2 I'm sorry but you can't say you believe that's gonna happen and then say you're excited rather than concerned. There's no technological progress that it might lead to which would make it unambiguously a net positive. On the other hand there's every indicator for the opposite.

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 He did what? Wtf lol

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@stringking42069 Wtf

[YinYangMills @YinMills]

@bcubeddd @hyperkaehler I think he's just saying that people sometimes cite old foundational papers they never read, and claim they write something when, in fact, they don't. It happens sometimes and it leads to myths spreading.
