It also matters a lot what type of uncertainty a game has, and what the curve of learning to manage it is. E.g. slight variations in inputs should produce a slight but ideally meaningful variation in output, so the outcome of pressing keys

My impressions are similar as those of others: - It seems to mostly show me books I've already read and know of, including sequels of what I added, which isn't very useful. - It ultimately seems to prioritize "highest rated i

Depending on how important it is for you to maintain original quality, I have in the past had good luck with a combination of prerendering complex content, reducing the DPI and colour depth of images, and recombining them back into PDFs, de

IIRC this is a misconception and bullies bully strategically to climb the social ladder and benefit from it. It's possible that they do it because they learned pathological systems of behaviour from pathological family/social expe

This is probably true. But the truth is we have absolutely no idea what sentience is and what gives rise to it. We cannot identify why humans have it rather than just being complex biological machines, or whether and why other animals do. W

The same line of reasoning could be easily used to justify tyranny and slavery. It might be the baseline status quo but "might makes right" rhetoric makes for extremely miserable worlds.

We have no clue what consciousness even is. By all rights, our brains are just biological computers, we have no basis to know what (or how) gives rise to consciousness at all.

Rhetoric can be used to justify any action against any group on very arbitrary pretenses, and while I don't think "groups whose primary reason for existing is explicitly to facilitate crime should be closely scrutinized" is p

You have a point but we are literally talking about an association whose entire and only raison d'etre is to perpetuate violent crime. Maybe it shouldn't be outright criminal, since people can potentially register for other reason

They did but if you go through the actual studies, the incidence of myocarditis was low, and almost all cases were non-serious, with no measured long-term impacts. Further, the studies on long COVID incidence in vaccinated vs unvaccinated p

The reported rates might have been inflated compared to what people presented with, but wastewater tracking and excess death measures all suggest that as a whole, infections were severely under-counted, possibly by a factor of up to over 2x

There's more to air quality than HEPA filters. In-line far UV sterilisation, ventilation to reduce rebreathing and CO2 levels, and HEPA might not be enough as a single-building intervention, but it would almost definitely change diseas

It takes very severe disability for it not to be brushed off as depression, anxiety, burnout, or blamed on lifestyle. Additionally, a lot of those numbers are based on earlier strains of COVID, which were much more severe. I suspect the 1&#

I was thinking you could potentially engineer them to reflect IR light, but I feel like dust and dirt would probably quickly eat into the effectiveness. The question is whether it'd really make a difference on a global scale at all.

White roads could potentially be blinding, but yeah something lighter than what we do currently could be very worthwhile. It'd have much higher nighttime visibility too.

Are you perhaps thinking of radiative cooling, e.g. paint that reflects close to 100% of all light, excluding the spectrum at which room-temperature objects radiate heat, resulting in a net cooling effect? E.g. [Revolutionary Paint: How to

The only thing missing from your analogy is the fact that the shacks were filled with personal diaries and curios, while the skyscrapers are mostly chock-full of homogenous sewage slurry.

It's possible it still had some antibiotic properties, lots of commonly used drugs interact with our gut bacteria in varying ways. And indeed a quick search suggests that this might be the case: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&

They sometimes can, but most properly gut-adapted microbes only have their relative prevalence reduced by diet changes, by and large people unfortunately tend to snap back once diet is discontinued. Ideally, you'd combine that with doi

Sounds like you first decimated the bacteria with antibiotics, and then made it heavily disadvantaged by eating something that preferentially feeds other gut bacteria. What was the food, out of curiosity?
