Do you find that this requires an unusual amount of self-control? I have no reason to manage my food intake, but in the limited times where I have I've found it quite difficult

Perhaps with the additional level of security clearance that government entities are able to hand over very sensitive data sets.

We're lucky to have hard-headed people willing to put up with legal threats and bullying tactics. I'm not sure I'd have the spine for it. It reminds me of when Ben Goldacre was sued [0] which luckily his publisher covered the

I subscribed to the audio version of 'The Diff' by Byrne Hobart, and it's auto-generated. There's a few obvious tells, like when describing money - '$3' would be translated to 'dollar three'. But ther

I believe Manifold does this sort of thing, though I've never used it myself.

I have this experience with so much equipment in the kitchen. The retail variant has features and knobs etc but is otherwise somehow flimsy, but the commercial variant is rock solid and only does one job. An example is the atrocious slow co

I'm in the process of ripping gsheets out of some internal processes, and the pain they are causing me are immense, so I understand the sentiment of this. However. If those sheets hadn't existed earlier on, I might not have a job

I don't know geopolitics well enough to know the answer to this. Is losing TSMC an existential risk to Taiwan?

I hope you don't mind this bit of feedback - your comment comes off as snarky, which may not be what you intended. People are talking about their experience in sensitive areas, and so restrictions on devices you can bring in/out i

I love the whimsy of this. I'm not familiar with Magic, but now I wonder - is Magic Turing complete? And of course the answer appears to be yes! [0] [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828

I have some hobbies (running/gym) that I'd like to have someone to do with who lives near me because my only available time is late in the evening. Do you have any suggestions how to find people for this sort of thing?

The book does talk about various exceptions, and spends a lot of time talking about how exceptions in some way represent alternative power structures. Having said that, I think much of your list while true would be relatively uncommon (for

I've had to do this due to tech not getting a say in vendor choice. We were given an SSH tunnel, a DB user and a query to run by the vendor and sent on our way. Of course, periodically that query stops working because 'woops we ch

Ah I think I misread the gp comment - I thought there was research about ACLs repairing 'on their own', this looks like the case I've seen where putting the joint at a fixed angle leads to repair.

It's so ambitious in an almost boring way, exactly the right steward for a project like this

I know that people can function and even be high-level athletes without an ACL, but I haven't heard of non-surgical repairs outside of specific inteventions (holding the leg at a fixed angle for a few weeks following an injury). I&#x27

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Ben Goldachre in the UK is working on how to get access to NHS patient data in a privacy-preserving manner [0]. My understanding is that you essentially submit your analysis and it is run against l

I find it really interesting that this concept took hold so strongly in people's imaginations. I think because it's just on the border of plausibility and seems somehow to be hidden knowledge. It reminds me of Dan Luu's idea

I have half-jokingly suggested that an out-of-hours page should cost the company $10k to incentivise actually fixing problems rather than releasing broken products. But I haven't thought of a way of getting around the perverse incentiv
