As others have mentioned that data is captured in other studies and isn't the point of this paper

I'd understand if the ads were subsidizing the purchase price significantly, but this still seems to be in line with their highest pricing.


Thank you!


Thank you!


Does your estimate account for advancements in virtual simulation models that has simultaneously been happening? From people I speak to in the space (which I am very much not in) - they had mentioned these advancements have dramatically improved the rate of training and learning - though they also advised we're some ways off from showtime.


As Tesla could tell you with their failure to deliver self-driving cars, it doesn't matter if you have exabytes of training data if it's all the wrong kind of data and if your hardware platform is insufficiently capable.


I can see the clear benefits of smart glasses, but can't imagine owning them myself (until there's a local only version). It feels like it will be a social faux pas as well, as I can't imagine being comfortable in a social setting around smart glasses wearers knowing they could be recording anything I'm saying/doing.

I may be the luddite here and I'm sure if they get enough adoption it will eventually be commonplace, but at the moment I'm struggling with this.


I see this as socially acceptable as me going around carrying a broadcast camera on my shoulder.


I think one thing I'm concerned about, is that people don't like to wear glasses.

The other thing is, people also don't like to have overlays in their vision, video games have been moving away from them for example.

I wonder if we wrongly think that smart glasses are a better ergonomic experience but in reality they aren't.


I imagine the ergonomics of getting punched in the face for wearing this in public would be rather unpleasant.

Actually it's interesting that most of Ed's posts tend not to make the front page. This is the first one in a while.


Which ads are these? My impression was they are all based on CPC or CP impression


They have an option for pay per conversion: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7528254?hl=en


Why they picked something that has extremely compelling evidence to the contrary, rather than just saying "ultraprocessed foods" or older parenting age is beyond me. I don't see how this serves their agenda, and clearly isn't grounded in any facts


It looks like maybe the agenda is to make autism the parents' fault. Then those elite, genetically superior upper crust folks can demand that morally inferior parents who damaged their children take on the burden of supporting, and maybe hiding, their mutant offspring.

As an additional bonus, the diagnosis of autism becomes a moral fault of the parents, something to be avoided if possible, hidden if not. Another lever to use on people, like being gay was up to the 1980s, or having African American ancestry was until the 1970s.


Not the parents’, specifically the mother’s fault.


They don't care about facts. At this point I think it is fair to say they don't understand what a fact is. They prefer "alternative facts", which is another way of saying they will claim, without evidence, or even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that anything which aligns with their feelings or beliefs, or serves their purposes, is a fact, reality be damned.


"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit the views." - Dr. Who


Trump, today: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."

Medical advice broadcast to the nation based on Trump’s feelings.


Don't underestimate these horrid men's wish to control women and their bodies. "Tough it out", was this clown's words.


I hear you. I just have a hard time believing he does anything without some direct tie back to his bank account. If we find he has short positions in Kenvue it'll make more sense to me.


Oh, you'll be hearing from now on that he saved America from the scourge of autism, something no other president has ever managed to do, and certainly not Obama or Biden because they were horrible, just horrible, presidents. Just like he stopped 7 wars, but really, it was 10 wars, and they were horrible wars, and he saved mill-yins and mill-yins of lives. Just tremendous work, he'll have you know.


That would certainly fit the pattern we've seen. I'm always floored by how small the grifts are. Like, if I were a 'morally flexible' President and had at least a billion dollars already, I sure wouldn't consider being influenced by 9 figures or less. Come talk to me when it's going to enrich my 'team' by at least 10 billion. For anything less than that I'd be determined to appear straight as an arrow. For Trump you can approve a new golf course for him and he'll just executive order whatever you want.


For one thing, he knows he's more or less untouchable legally and politically. The American establishment no longer has the will to police itself properly due to institutional capture.

For another, directe enrichment isn't the only incentive for corruption. It also corrupts the giver, and having control over lots of small and medium people who are already corrupted is worth more than the up front cash value.


Hopefully people are watching to make sure none of them shorted the stock.


~I thought J&J already settled a big class-action lawsuit on that, didn't they?~

Edit: I was misremembering an ongoing lawsuit as having been resolved: https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/MDL/22md3043


Apparently J&J spun off their consumer health products, including Tylenol to Kenvue in 2023.


I didn't realize at first that the spin-off would be the ones who retain the legal liability but I suppose it makes sense with it being split off from the original company (which makes more sense than if Tylenol was sold to a third party).


What stock? Paracetamol was first synthesised over 150 years ago; it is the most generic of generic drugs. It's also, well, not a big profit centre for anyone; it costs practically nothing.


Kenvue. J&J spun off their consumer products, including Tylenol, into Kenvue a couple years ago. It dropped 7.5% on the news to an all-time low.


Compelling evidence guarantees opposition from rationally inclined people. Opposition serves as 'negative proof' to the conspiratorially minded, and causes them to circle the wagons in defense of their leaders. Trump gets loyalty and probably money while posturing that he's 'standing up to big pharma'.


which is the folinic acid, an active form of folate


Folate in pregnancy has been a thing forever. Folate reinforced foods, commonplace. Precisely because of neural tube development in pregnancy. I would add, across the period of time diagnosis of autism has risen, folate supplementation has been commonplace.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4933077/ for example.

I'm not an epidemiologist. I prefer advice on things to come with epidemiologists backing. I'm not getting a vibe if that's happening this news cycle.


in other words, vitamin B9
