I've enjoyed Lewis's books, but I also noticed this about his unfaltering defense of Aleynikov. In one passage that stuck out to me, Lewis argued that Aleynikov was not guilty of taking anything important as Aleynikov claimed not

I don't see how the minority of Israeli Arabs can so easily be used as proof. The Arab population of Israel is around 20% at 2 million. The population of the two Palestinian territories is at around 5 million Arabs and they have a st

The Inuit are distinct from the Sami. Different ethnicity, different language group and different region.

A country being diplomatically unrecognized, which is what was being referred to, does not mean that it is unknown or obscure. Both Kosovo and Taiwan are not obscure, but are still widely unrecognized.

The stereotype on suicides is not as true as it once was. Japan now has a lower suicide rate than the US. Its suicide rate is currently barely in the top 50.

I'd understand the argument for Brockman considering he had a hand in recruiting the initial team at OpenAI, was previously the CTO, from some reports still involved himself in coding, was the only other founder on the board besides Il

I still haven't heard an explanation of why people who use GPT would be under the impression that Sam had anything to do with the past improvements in GPT versions.

He didn't built OpenAI, which he wasn't a founder of either. By the time he came on as CEO in 2019, they had already built GPT-2, and GPT-3 was likely already well on its way, as it would be released only around a year later.

The Islamic world's golden age of science reached its short peak over a thousand years ago. Hardly a relevant example. It's like using Euclid and Archimedes as examples of how the Greeks have a passion for math.

I think you are thinking of Forbes opinion articles, which anyone can submit for. Forbes, like Business Insider, has no paywall and seems to have a low quality threshold. Fortune is still paywalled at over $200 per year after the trial ye

Over 85% of Australians have an unfavorable view of China, which is greater than the % having an unfavorable view of China in the US. Australia's partnership with the US is largely due to China. https://www.pewresearch.org

They are pointing out the more correct analogy. The analogy to banning smartphones in school, would be banning videogames and tv in school, not banning those things altogether. Teachers I've heard speak on the topic, largely seem to

I just checked the gum in my backpack. Both Trident and Mentos gum have xylitol, sorbitol, acesulfame K, mannitol and sucralose. Mentos gum also has aspartame and maltitol syrup in addition to the others.

It is not a random acronymization. Philip K Dick has long been referred to as PKD. There are printings of his novels with the recognizable initials PKD being printed larger than his name written out, like so: https://www.bookforu

Your first proposal is what acarbose does. It is widely used in Asia, but is much less popular in Western countries. It inhibits alpha glucosidase and alpha amylase, which has the effect of decreasing the rate that complex carbohydates ar

If you like Tigran, it might be worth checking out Hiromi. She's a jazz pianist with a similar kind-of chaotic energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr98Qt99mN0

I used the word "nearly" in my sentence, which is not the one you put in quotes. Also, that a given person may experience side effects at a given dose, does not mean that they will experience those same side effects at all doses.

Just as they do not uniquely benefit from amphetamines, people diagnosed with ADHD are also not uniquely resilient to the side effects.

I'd agree that "former mormon" would be a better descriptor. However, "lapsed" does not seem technically incorrect to me, even though it may be more nuanced, and could possibly lead to an incorrect idea of the situ

Amphetamines have a calming and focus-enhancing effect on nearly everyone. The idea that those who have ADHD have a unique experience in becoming calmer and more focused after taking amphetamines is an internet-born bro-science myth.

LCWs really are fantastic watches at a bargain. If I ever had to replace my current watch, I would likely get another LCW. I've worn mine constantly for around 3.5 years and it has always kept accurate time without having to adjust. I

I wear a Casio with the Multi-Band 6 tech that the Wave Ceptors have. Never having to re-set a watch is really convenient.
