You also need to know the percentage of children that become prodigies before you can calculate exactly how much more likely they are to become elite adults. e.g. If 1% of children are prodigies, prodigies are around 10x as likely to become

They could agree to some actual significant negative consequence to running ads. e.g. They could put a clause in the subscription signup process that says if they ever run ads - even if it's only for free accounts - then you get all of

Oh I see. I can explain my confusion: They come in two varieties, one is E40 an the other is bayonet (B22). Here in NZ interior home light sockets are sometimes E27 and sometimes B22. I have a couple of the bayonet Philips 40W bulbs here an

Have you seen the Philips TrueForce Core 40W LED bulbs? Not sure if they're sold in the US, but they're 4000 lumens, "last up to 15,000 hours" (whatever you make of that phrasing). They're quite huge but fit into a

When LinkedIn went down this morning, unlike most of you I didn't panic. Instead, I was reminded of what's really important in life. That's right: My clients. I decided to give my client Bob a call as I hadn't heard from

It's funny how useful water is for power generation. There's heat storage as discussed here. Or you can store cold water in a reservoir as a giant battery, pumping it up high when you've got excess power, and letting it back

That's a nice positive way to view it. I would even say that was probably intended as a feature of the original assignment brief.

Ah, I remember those days. One that wasn't an error exactly was an assignment that had a word limit of 2000 words or something. I'd written maybe 3000 words and spent quite some time cutting it down, getting it to just under the l

There's a mental health awareness campaign going on around here at the moment with all the generic messages like that. "You're doing great" is completely devalued by the sign giving the same message to everyone, and the

A lot of clickbait headlines have the same problem. "You're using too much washing powder!" Everyone's replying to you as if you truly don't understand the sign's intention but I'm sure you do. It's j

As I understand it, white-collar work at all levels is eliminated, as are creative pursuits (art, music, etc), and we can finally return to humanity's true calling - manual labour.

I'm currently stuck on Windows, but I thought sandboxing was built in to Claude Code as a feature on Linux with the /sandbox command?

It's the lack of experience, essentially. See this chart from the study I linked: https://i.imgur.com/zhR6NC1.jpeg Things that rely on experience peak at a much higher age, but the pure mental stuff peaks earlier.

It's hard being human. A lot of cognitive ability peaks before age 25[1], physical before 35[2], and to some extent it's an inexorable downward slope from there. Accumulated experience often makes up for it, but only to a point. Y

The title is sensationalised. They mean the earliest painting of his that we have. It's also a copy of an existing engraving.

Alternatively, since there's only one difficulty provided ("easy"), I wondered if the programmer have selected say, DifficultyLevels array index 0 meaning the easiest, but it was actually sorted hardest first.

I wonder if there could be something like a Wikipedia for programming. A bit like what the book Design Patterns did in 1994, collecting everyone's useful solutions, but on a much larger scale. Everyone shares the best strategies and al

That's a remake model in a modern game. The original Crash was even simpler than that one. Most of Crash in the first game was not textured; just vertex colours. Only the fur on his back and his shoelaces were textures at all.

There was enough there for me to get the basic idea, which is fine I think. Can't really expect every niche post to have all the details necessary for a general audience and it's fun to get a glimpse into these worlds anyway. Than
