I too don't consider psychology to be a science, but I also realize that my operational definition of science is quite restrictive (from your other comments it appears that so is yours). As a result, I think that there are plenty of di

It's incredible to me how we see NLP models with billions of parameters struggling to act human even on paper, yet somehow many influential people still claim that the Myers-Briggs type indicator can give predictive value to a 4-bit mo

IMHO one of the reasons for the author's surprise is the colloquial use of the word accent , whereby one usually means a mix of pronunciation [1] and intonation [2]. I think that the surprise disappears once we look at these two facto

Anecdotally (though studies like [1] seem to confirm this), I've found that tomatoes are quite sensitive to transportation and storage. To me, garden tomatoes taste fantastic; the ones at the local farmers' market taste pretty goo

Ever since the M1's came out I've been wondering whether it's possible that the abysmal thermal performance of previous Macbooks was partly intentional (to make M1's feel even more of a game-changer). If amateurs can com

I find it very helpful to take some time (around 5-15 seconds) to think when I'm asked something. Mostly because my main issue is being too agitated to find the right words when confronted on the spot; waiting lets me calm down, which

To be fair I grew up in a northern Italian town (~5 000 people) in the 00's and we had a few "peeing spots," usually windowless (north) walls of old houses in the historical center. We rarely peed there--as the GP put it, we
