This is a PR blog, of a private company, publishing "first blush" of "preliminary data". While any contribution to knowledge is warranted, this should not be circulating.

It would be more like if another guest demand that you ask that person to leave because they didn't agree with the comment.

There's always the possibility that a method will be found that will allow the material to maintain at least some of these properties after "returning" to normal temp/pressures conditions.

I love counter-intuitive facts. They are a helpful reminder that things are more complicated than I think they are, and I don't understand the world as well I think I do. "Gravity has a very strong effect. So what happens when an

From this quote "Black people are 3x more likely to be killed by police than white people". Perhaps the interpretation is indeed only in my head but it seems that a white cop killing a black perpetrator will generate substantially

I dislike websites like this and their agenda. They are fueling the racial war instead of trying to fight it. It makes it seem like this is a white against black thing and it most surely isn't (or at the very least not primarily). For

I do the same type of eye roll and I think it still applies here. Unless "the whole industry" create a salary cartel, the free market will adjust for this salary imbalance quickly. If there's a guy living in a black neighbor

I see an interesting corollary to this: If an AI can become conscious, it follows that consciousness does not contain (or at least require) free will. Of course I can't define what "free will" is exactly, but I can make a cla

Off topic, but in my mind the answer to "free will" is obviously, boringly no. If we are, as you've put it, a finite state machine, the fact that random inputs are possible doesn't make the machine any less deterministic

Why would that sound crazy? It'll have been done 55 years before that.

Wow. Well put. I'm going to use this. It feels quite true that when analyzing the behavior of any entity (and to a lesser degree, a person) it's rare to take time into account. If something wasn't done it's either stup

There's a great course called NAND to Tetris, which teaches, by example, at increasing levels of complexity starting from simple logic gates up to an actual program. It's very good. https://www.nand2tetris.org/

I like the idea but the demo page looks a boy clownish. As in, too many colors. Perhaps you should test which particular elements benefit most from this type of tagging

The thorny issue here is that this is all public information put forth willingly by people. These are not leaked medical records. In a way these abilities are like a person saying "hmm isn't that the guy from that thing a while ba

I find number theory to be closer to a natural, investigative science akin to Physics rather than pure math such as calculus. IANAM, but I doubt there was ever a modern calculus theorem that was hinted by a brute force search. One can argue

Maybe "open-mindedness" isn't the right term, as was pointed out, because perhaps men are actively pursuing low-income women. However one clue is the difference in the steepness of the preference: > On a list of 149 countr
