Morphine, like all neurotransmitter drugs, affects the autonomic nervous system which can yield a cornucopia of unwanted and seemingly unrelated side effects. It’s a complex system that’s best treated with care.

IIRC there is no hard limit on the size of a hydrogen bomb. That said many small nukes operating as a cluster cover more area for the same material due to the inverse cubed law.

Well how hard would it be to replace management with AI? Perhaps a developer could use AI to recreate the other tasks of the company without all of the overhead of actual people.

My statement was in general regards for the UK society as a system for which the House of Lords are just one part of. As mentioned I've already voted with my feet - so I consider the problem solved. If the UK somehow manages to become

I’m not new to the space, I’ve been working in tech for a very long time. I was into ontologies since the late 90s. And I agree they were in general a colossal failure, or at least didn’t live up to the general hype, they did find success i

I think I’m missing your point. Perhaps we don’t share the same understanding of what I mean by AI and Expert Systems. I wouldn’t call expert systems AI even though the early use of AI referred to symbolic reasoners used in expert systems.

Having worked on expert systems the difficulty in creating them is often the technical limitations of the end users. The sophistication of tooling needed to bridge that gap is immense and often insurmountable. I see the AI as the bridge to

If they want to be believed then they need to have a history of hiring post tenure politicians, the whole thing ends up a bit like a pyramid scheme with the success of new bribes having to cover the expense of the previous bribes.

If the lotteries are regular the number of people that would need to be bribed increases as does the risk of exposure. At some point it stops being worth the risk. On the spectrum of centralization such that only one person decides to the o

The hereditary House of Lords had a bit of a random walk property where the original peerage given by the King many generations ago becomes quite disconnected to the peer now in the house. To have this property it needs to be an old traditi

Yeah, psychologizing was in vogue. Has the added benefit of obviating the government of responsibility - a form of victim blaming. It used to be hoped that the cost of care would motivate the government to look for treatments they now are i

It's a long list right, most doctors will think you're just being a hypochondriac, that's what they told me and my family for decades. A general distrust of doctors might as well be another comorbidity. It certainly sounds li

I’m pretty much back to 100% I just get the occasional slump but I can’t be sure that isn’t from working too hard. For the IL-1B I take high doses of D3, TUDCA, and DIM. For the dysautonomia aspect I take Low Dose Naltrexone, a lower dose o

The psychosomatic view of ME/CFS was and in many places remains the expert opinion and one that I agree is misleading and damaging. It was pushed by a highly influential team of British psychiatrists. Many countries still prescribe exe

That is reductio ad absurdum. There is neither an appeal to authority nor a risk of social contagion. Additionally all the treatments I have done are completely reversible upon cessation of medication. Is your disdain of expert opinion appl

100% not true in my case and probably not true in the generally case, it’s a common misattribution. The cause of mine is hEDS which has ME/CFS as a comorbidity. I’ve done a WGS and found that I have 2 TNXB SNPs. By my math a lot of ‘bu

I’ve been working on highly optimized code that heavily uses CPU intrinsics, a year ago no chance, 6 months ago a helpful reference, today it’s a good starting point. That is an insane pace of improvement.

I figured it would be related in that it's a form of p-hacking. Do 20 studies, one gives you the 'statistically significant' results you want, suppress the other 19. Then 100% of published studies support what you want. Could
