eh, i jumped down the EMR rabbit hole a few years ago at the behest of a friend trying to put together a research proposal. the in vitro data we have is uninspiring. you can prompt cells to lose viability if you expose them to EMR (radio fr

in principle, you can verify every downed aircraft and destroyed tank with a photograph or a video. it's hard to move the wrecks of each. there are worse metrics.

i'm envisioning a new kind of black-swan style mistake which i'm going to call the allegory of the neural net in the cave. people will feed neural nets data, and ask it to describe the specific data set that the data is coming fro

it's an interesting perspective that provides a dissenting opinion. it doesn't really need to be correct to stimulate thought and lead you to a better disposition in your own investments. notably, he makes no specific suggestions

too unreliable for the purposes of economic growth, tbh. based on my time in the industry, the typical biotech company lives with one foot in the grave -- and we're talking about the ones which have a product on the market.

agreed. in my mind, the last really good piece they had was when they sent simon ostrovsky to the war in ukraine. the quality went downhill and i've stopped following them a few years ago. but back in the day, they were excellent as fa

tbh many of the adults i know have no ability to judge which lines of questioning are fruitful or not specifically because they're so "on rails" or "adultlike". for them a fruitful question is defined as something a

i'm of the opinion that the psychotic breaks risk would be an engineering problem to overcome in the context of using psychedelics therapeutically. besides, in a clinical context, it's highly unlikely any kind of psychotic break c

for some reason i haven't seen many people discuss china as a totalitarian country. but is there really any doubt, at this point? the government seeks to control an ever-greater range of human behaviors, from the banal -- like borrowin

so, I'd have said the exact same thing about the millennium development goals (MDGs) until a few months ago when I attended a talk by the former secretary of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon. Ban had many wonderful things to say, but one thing real

yeah, this is my takeaway here as well. their fundamental view is always that stability is preferable to chaos -- and they prioritize that higher than maintaining their economic views. capitalism has become so exaggerated that it threatens

follow-up thought: is it gaming the turing test to the point of breaching the spirit of the test by having the robot be the worst version of humanity as conveyed on the internet? in other words: is the turing test meant to hypothetically ca
