That this is being supressed is a bold assertion. Doesn't this seem like an odd, arbitrary thing to suppress? In situations like these, it's been my experience that the more likely explanation is that the evidence for it is a lot

Same here, in fact I'm rather surprised to learn that this isn't the norm for people with ADHD, apparently. On a related note, my office is currently doing a sort of ad-hoc, informal hybrid work schedule, so some days of the week

I highly doubt that, even if everyone did this religiously, it would have any measurable impact on emissions, given how emissions from residential energy usage make up only a relatively small fraction of all emissions (and emissions from co

Thanks for linking this, I love this kind of "computer science fiction" stuff

They're worried about the case where the AI figures out how to get others to (unknowingly) pay its energy bill for it, in a manner of speaking.

In fact, the genus Cinnamomum which contains cassia and ceylon (C. cassia and C. verum, respectively) is pretty large and diverse. Sometimes what people refer to as cassia can actually be one of several species, e.g. C. burmannii, which is

Yeah, I would argue that calling it counterfeit is completely wrong. Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon are both in the genus cinnamomum, so it's completely appropriate to call both cinnamon. Really, they're two very different spices whos

I'm not really sure what they're trying to accomplish here, but I never thought I'd read a quantum physics-related paper with the sentences: "We place a tardigrade tun on a superconducting transmon qubit and observe coup

Fairly accurate, though I love CSAs (and I suspect this is a loving parody by the author). What I find especially funny is > What the hell am I supposed to do with all these turnips? Do people really not know what to do with turnips? Tur

I've been thinking something along these lines recently too. A single neuron seems like an absurdly complex device. I doubt they are really similar at all to "artificial neurons" except in some vague abstract sense. So the br

Would you not be saving (or at least not spending more) money by not having to pay for your healthcare needs. Besides the fact that if the rents really are cheap, then that would also be a huge savings for a lot of people.

This runs counter to all of my recent working experiences. What sort of things have you experienced that have led you to this point of view?

I had been messing around with a similar concept not too long ago in OCaml- as it turns out, strong, static typing can be very nice to have in writing ML models (and code in general). I find it reduces some of the cognitive overhead that co
