Imo there's nothing profound about the quote but your writing is very convincing. You could do sales/marketing (if you aren't doing it already).

Hard to be sure tbh. I thought I had something like that since I had covid at least twice. Now I am on vacation next to sea and i wouldn't say I lack energy. I think for some the daily grind causes noticeable fatigue fairly quickly (if

Not overdoing it (to start with) is by far preferable tbh. My experience, for instance, is that inflamed achilles takes very long time (years) to go back to normal. To get it inflamed was fairly easy: resuming jogging a bit too swiftly afte

It's all incredibly sad: the abortion itself, the decision to do it (which could've been avoided in a better society), the ruined lives or at least the psychological burden, the naiveté of using f-ing facebook, the compliance of t

One of the errors the authors presented was > f(x) = f(y) + f(z) => x = y + z where f(.) denotes square root. This is very different in nature from flipping a sign or a one-off error.

Weird. There are some impressive examples and then it fails spectacularly e.g. by simply removing all square root signs at one step. Given that type of failure I must conclude the model didnt learn essential fundamentals of math reasoning (

Well, the Fed has a clearly stated statutory mandate of "promoting maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate longterm interest rates". Whether pursuing this mandate inconveniences the govt or not should not be a concern (at

thank you for the suggestion. i find collections super handy and use them but the fact they are not exposed (even in rudimemtary form) in desktop UI is appalling. the usefulness of collections drops by some 50% to me - i basically need to r

Not all changes are equal. One thing is to, say, patch a known disease-causing mutation (being sure no other changes take place). Inserting a new sequence or patching an existing sequence in a way not seen before is clearly different. Anoth

On a more constructive note, I think non-germline targeted gene editing is OK-ish if 1) the goal is to cure or alleviate some really serious diseases, 2) the mechanism of the disease and the prospective treatment are widely believed to be w
