Re:The psychology behind ‘revenge bedtime procrastination’ on Tuesday December 01, 2020 @11:55AM (#25266948)
Ever tried mirtazapine? It’s an antidepressant that’s also a sedative. You take it every night before bed. Works great for me.
I am curious why they didn’t test everyone. Is it just a cost/test capacity thing? Wouldn’t testing to catch asymptomatic cases increase statistical power to allow the study to yield results sooner with smaller error bars? Also, isn’t preventing asymptomatic cases an important function of the vaccine (to get to herd immunity)?

What if an interpretable model is worse at telling stop signs from jackets than an uninterpretable model? Should we use the worse model because we value interpretability?
