Thank you for sharing some sources. To refute your first one: - Jane Goodall in this 36-second clip does NOT advocate reducing the global population down to 450 million - Jane Goodall speaking at a 2020 WEF panel does NOT imply that the WEF

I mean this genuinely: why do you choose to quote and trust some unreferenced and completely arbitrary 500 million population number that some bizarre unidentified group of people with zero accountability carved into a random stone monument

I didn't. It's physically impossible for any perception of emotion or anything else to travel between organisms without the flow of information. Am I missing something?

So falsify and/or misrepresent evidence just long enough to fool a jury. If the ruse is discovered one minute after conviction, who cares? Person's convicted now, doesn't matter? With the caveat that this is coming from someo

So conviction is a "trap door" of evidence weight? If someone is convicted based on evidence that is later shown to be totally insufficient to support that conviction, this new information does nothing to overturn the conviction?

Maybe I'm a prude, but this page made me consciously register how pervasive the suffix "porn" has become in decidedly non-pornographic contexts. "EarthPorn", "SpacePorn", etc. are understood to mean gratui

I would say not much, given regular homeschooling is an intentional choice that self-selects families willing to put in the research and effort to homeschool.

I see what you're getting at, but in your analogy, Leonardo da Vinci (the creative and intellectual driver of the overall work) maps to the black-box LLM behind an API, where the boilerplate web app wrapper maps to the Mona Lisa's

Just so I understand: this HN post consists of a 6-sentence plain English prompt, and a web app that passes the prompt plus presumably raw user input to a black box LLM API? Is there more?

That's ingenious: the technology simultaneously makes and breaks the scam. The cleverest business name idea that comes to mind is also the one most likely to get this comment deleted: consider the Scunthorpian[1] business name Cunterm

How did you monitor your apnea before and after your posture correction? And how does one's standing posture affect breathing when lying horizontally -- is it a matter of breathing muscle strength?

Where are you getting the specific values of 6 months and ±2% out 10 years? Genuinely curious to learn more. Maybe back-testing of archived predictions from prior decades against the eventual reality?

Peculiar issues are by definition less common than the usual issues, so you're more likely to have a common issue than a peculiar one.

Treat the credit card as a middleman between your actual cash (e.g., a checking account) and spending. Spend as if it's cash. Pay balance weekly to avoid ever paying interest. Enjoy far superior fraud protection, and an effective disco

That's beside the point of the comment I replied to, which falsely said homeopathic products were classified as dietary supplements.

Very much false. 1. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, homeopathic products are subject to the same requirements related to approval, adulteration and misbranding as other drug products. https://www.fda.gov/dr
