The 10 most striking Kaplan-Meier curves (that I have seen) 🧵 1. Dual GLP1/GIP agonist, Tirzepatide, for prevention of type 2 diabetes in people with obesity It's easy to miss the dark blue line (15 mg group), because it never leaves the X axis:
When is the last time you read something where the headline _understated_ the argument and evidence? @CharlesCMann's piece is that good
Last talk of the morning at #WoLA24: Yash Pote (@probabilisticA) on distribution testing, and how to make it practical. #SimonsLive
Congratulations Pranjal!
Very nice talk at #USydCompSci by Yash Pote from @NUSingapore on "Towards Practical Distribution Testing" How to use, adapt, and develop efficient algos for distribution testing under various access models to solve practical problems, e.g., checking what SAT samplers actually do
I learned a bit about fracking today and even relative to my prior expectation holy cow does it sound like sorcery. As one example of many, how do you think they get information from bottom of the well to top of the well while drilling?
A jellyfish evolved back into a single cell, doesn't need oxygen, and now lives parasitically inside the cells of other animals. Repeat: there's a single-celled jellyfish vibing O2-free INSIDE OTHER ANIMAL CELLS. Meet the hook-shaped intracellular jellyfish parasite Myxozoa 😈
Ok, solution time. But first: ☠️ General Discussion ☠️ Let's talk about the Axiom of Choice. What it means for a set X to be empty is that ∀x (x ∉ X). Thus, what it means for a set X to be nonempty is that ¬∀x (x ∉ X). Equivalently, "X is nonempty" means ∃x (x ∈ X).

Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding! We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES! Hear me out & see preprint: bit.ly/3MVqXU9 🧵1/
The Soviet ЭШ 6/45 Walking Excavator is like a living piece of post-apocalyptic artwork. The rust, the mismatched curtains, even the fact it's decades old and built in a country which no longer exists.
A candle produces roughly the same amount of energy as a resting human — 80 to 100 watts, also consuming about the same amount of oxygen and producing the same amount of CO2. In an enclosed area, adding candles is about like adding people from an air quality standpoint.
Via this *fascinating* review of Julian Jaynes's classic psychology text, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", which essentially posits that Bronze Age gods were not metaphors but how people heard their internal voices slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/01/boo…
