Correlations are better than nothing. You want a simple elegant theory but why do you think one actually exists. The human body is incredibly complex, maybe there are no general rules, only a plethora of interacting processes that are very

While these people sound cool, I notice that hn treats then like heroes while it treats people who violate zoning laws at scale as villains. To assuming considering doing this I would say please please don't. If a dozen people did i

My undergraduate degree was math. Looking back, I find it really hard to imagine how I could have learnt all that without going to college. I just don't think it's possible to recreate that combination of extrinsic motivation an

One problem with this argument is that it ignores the fact that investors are also consumers. If the representative investor is also the representative consumer, then managers who aim to maximize shareholder utility will not set monopoly p

As someone who was identified as gifted and talented in Australia, I think the parents often want things that are not particularly useful, eg early university entry, or their goal is some special university program. In high school I did tra

Indeed the article has a very orientalist tone. In comparison, the wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Japan has similar content but at least the Nihon vs Nippon section discussed the actual pho

The point of this article is to describe exactly how to do this using a specific Python library. It's not fundamental research but it's very useful for people who want to do this sort of thing in practice without reinventing all t

While China has a great and deep culture, I don't see a strong reason why the UK should look to China for inspiration for its education system. The West continues to do great things in every field including technology. I think that t

I disagree with 1 and 2, in the sense that i believe that sensory input has no fundamental ontological role, and is merely how we biological humans bootstrap our knowledge of macroscopic objects. The real dilemma of quantum theory is how to

For reference, the poorly named "standard model" which is the quantum theory of all forces except gravity, cannot really be called equations in the usual sense. This is because the kind of mathematical model that would describe t

I guess part of my point was that when your post implies some implicit threat, you should be clear on whether you are merely warning of this threat or whether you think it's a good thing. Otherwise you might end to inadvertently suppo

Which parts of that post were so extreme that it would be wiser to say then anonymously, in your view? The fact that so called "racists" are unable to freely[0] express even a moderate opposition to the mainstream narrative on rac

I consider myself to have a lot of mental stamina. I can focus for hours if I have to, and sometimes to job really requires it, e.g. you need to get something fixed for a customer. I don't consider this an unreasonable part of the jo
