  2. Yes, I can see how that is much easier to accomplish (sarcasm)
    38
  3. Yes make up and drugs.
    36
  4. Well, thats not really something you ask when youre 16.

  5.  @calvindibartolo2686  no lol. Wtf

  6. Basically, all you need to know is because the disease is so rare, it's only 1 in 1000. And eventhough your measuring device is accurate, the formula for the 99% accuracy does not account for its false positives which is 1%. So basically, it detects 99% if it's there, but it also detects something when it's not there(false positive). Conclusion: because the disease is so rare, you are more likely to be identified false positive than positive. This is all because of the margin of error in the device.

  7. You think its funny, but you can actually turn your epigenome on or off, you simply change your environment and give it signals.

  8. That statement doesn't really make sense, 100 doesn't imply unyielding, albeit strong beliefs. The same way 70% doesn't imply unyielding.

  9. he takes all sorts of drugs, you can see him on the joe rogan podcasts. ofcourse he hasnt tested himself with gene therapy lol, you think hes that crazy?

  10. eat less doesnt mean eat ramen and you would be fine, it means portion size and frequency, but you still need to eat nutritiou.

  11. Its a sponsored video. What did you expect? He gets paid regardless, not the best motivation to make a video.

  12.  @ameersk3223  vegans live longer wtf? Dont make up data.. Link me the paper genius bullshitter.

  13. Joe already interviewed this professor way before Veritasium did. His name is Joe Rogan for a reason.

  14. That's a wrong assumption. Induction is generalising from specifics. In Baye's theorem you are no more knowledgable of the specifics. It's empirical more than inductive reasoning. I think its best understood as a graph, than using language or math to explain it.

  15. How does it justify Vegan lifestyle? only a vegan would rationalize like this. Vegans also eat proteins, you know what happens to people who dont eat protein? They die.

  16.  @Mattittas  I bet you still dont know what the Mitochondria does.

  17. you know there is this neat invention called "google" learn to research yourself instead of being handfed. You literally know the terms to search and the name of the professor and his team, ffs.

  18. I think so yes, cortisol especially is not good for your body, if it thinks there is a threat, instead of growing it uses that energy to prepare to fight. But then again, you could catch up in your 20's, I've seen kids who have their biggest growth spurts after highschool.

  19.  @lemius6154  I dont think people actually know what a "meme" is. Maybe they need a good slap from Richard Dawkins

  20. David Goggins figured this out all by himself.

  21. Bayes theorem gave a new perspective on conditional probability. It added to the dimension of basic probability laws. So yea it's definitely one of the core theorems.

  22. I feel the same way, I grew up around humans, ive seen them in hospitals with spinal injuries, and after seeing what kind of animals they are, I can tell their expressions, they are in pain and having an idea of what they are feeling upsets me. I wish I could help these humans who suffer from spinal injury... Maybe some sort of experiment to rehabilitate... And we can use rats to start off with.

  23. stay out of the sun, stay indoors, just eat ramen, by the time you come out of your house at 70 years old, you would feel like youre 30. Now you can go live your life outside.

  24. It's should definitely be part of the Ai. It's a way to accurately gather information.

  25. He could have always cut and reset, I doubt he even noticed it.

  26. its not a deadpan, hes literally defining it.

  27.  @mozart116  youre tiring to talk to. Youre not getting it.

  28.  @ameersk3223  you made a comment but you didnt really present any arguments, i suggest you take your own advice.

  29.  @Mattittas  its the powerhouse of the cell.

  30. How so? Its like being asleep with no dreams, maybe youre confused.

  31.  @bassam_salim  yeah keep thinking that while you missed to live the only life you actually have.

  32.  @DonCorleon31  well you escalated quickly you dopehead.

  34. Yes, but our early teachers ussualy dont know much about science or have any real passion for it, and that is why people grow up thinking science is boring. Its not what you teach its how you teach it.

  35. It was still random, but it was done twice, the more something is repeated the more difficult the odds should be, but if you caught it again, then chances increase that it must be you. It's like flipping a 11 sided dice twice and got #5 both times.

  36. You first need a theory before you work on a technology, which NASA does not have, you silly troll.

  37. You're wrong. Happy? Now prove me wrong.

  38. Only if we experiment on you first.

  39. So youre talking about positive punishment, which research has shown is less effective than positive reinforcement. This is to telling someone that theyre not good at something, as opposed to telling someone on what they did well on, in which case the individual would improve more in that specific positive comment.

  40. just an interesting trivia, people who are diagnosed as LLI basically has drew working most of the time.

  41. All in your head m8. Step outside your comfort zone. Have u tried she-males? #bayesian4life

  42. Yes the false positive is random, the total of false positives in relation to the whole population is random.

  43. Wow you're an idiot. You need to take a class on communicating science to the public. Carl Sagan was one of those people who had massive pushback from the other scientists when he started his own t.v. Show. The pushback was exactly because of people like you. The oblivious/ignorant public. A couple of reasons, you might be too shallow to understand the topic and thus you make the wrong conclusion (as you obviously do). Or that its just a waste of time, as the public at large is just too ignorant (as you obviously are). Science has to be watered down, if you want me to explain to you the Bayesian theory in full, I have to sit you down for a couple of hours, and ask you to solve a few problems. The theory itself is easy, it's just the formula, but what's underpinning the formula is what you needed to learn which means understanding the fundamentals of probability (e.g., uniformity, additivity, multiplicity, set theorems). Now, most people are bored already. There are so many things to do in life, if you start explaining to the people the solutions before the actual answer (the point). Then no one would stay long enough to listen. This is not how you get the public interested in science, I mean the schools themselves already drowned kids curiosities away, because of such methods. --------------------------- now, this is the most important part, are you paying attention? who the he'll, complains about lack of information in the 21St century when you have the internet and opencourses everywhere

  44. Just one thing to add, I see most complaints here from people are coming from a statistical standpoint. "I don't see the pros and cons" you say. You need to understand that Baye's rule is born from the axioms of probability. Probability is not statistics. There is no pros and cons. The only thing matters is if the math is right. There's a reason why it's a theoretical science. It's like asking someone to draw what an electron looks like, and then complaining about the pros and cons whether it should be shaped as a circle or a square.

  45. Lol WTF kind of question is that. First of all the reason why the discrepancy was so large is because the disease is so rare.

  46. Debates started with early philosophers. And it didn't need to have an audience, it's simply entertaining a question and see each others points and then hopefully finding a truth in the process. It requires 2 people minimum to do that. And if you have multiple personality disorder then maybe just 1.

  47. I dont know whats to like: 1. you save evergy bills 2. you save food bills. 3. you save laundry bills

  48. Now this is how you do a sponsored video

  49. Just to clear it, as it wasn't explicitly explained. The reason a detector can have 99% accuracy yet if it detects you have the disease and yet only have 9% chance of having it is because the detectors accuracy in terms of false alarms is not accounted for (it detects even when when nothing is there), and so it goes off randomly every now and then which accounts for the 11 people. Sure it detects correctly 99% of the time. But it didn't factor in the times that it also goes off even when nothing is there. So it's accuracy is compromised by its false alarms

  50.  @mozart116  then just eat less protein duhh, doesnt mean you have to be vegan, most unhealthy people dont eat protein, they eat carbs and sugar.

  51.  @mozart116  i can also consume tofu which is also high in protein smh.

  52. Also successful people are more likely to attract a spouse that would stick with them.

  53. People dont turn on heaters to make it a sauna, they turn on heaters to make the temperature comfortrable. The idea is to not use any A/C at all.

  55. thats about the dumbest thing I have ever read in a long time.

  56.  @CaseyShontz  most of the growth happens in sleep, so make sure youre getting lots of it, but then again if its a stressful environment it can be hard.

  57.  @musicbyella3769  no one said that. The fact is, if energy is used somewhere else i.e. repairing tissues etc.. Then something has to give. You could only get so much nutrition

  58. Well, clearly someone missed his biology class when they talked about the Mitochondria's. smh.

  59.  @akunog2708  that was clearly hyperbole, dont be silly, but if you did your research, this guy takes more than cups of coffee, he experiments with all sorts of pharmaceutical drugs.

  60.  @MrYendor1968  sure, your psychology affects your physiology too.

  61. One of my favourite one so far

  62. Also, dont use heaters when its cold.
    1
  63.  @sakatoshi6335  ofcourse we know how to do that, the science is out there. I didnt say we know how to accurately and predictably do it. but we already have a theoretical framework. do some research

  64. no dumbass, he takes drugs. Also he looks 45 to me.

  65. Imagine the sun exploded and swallowed the earth tomorrow. XD

  66. @Mark Rodriguez Hes talking about the lifestyle you need to have in order to live longer, "dummy".
