I had textbook symptoms of sleep apnea with a BMI of 19, before I was diagnosed. The sleep tech told me bluntly that plenty of slim people, even children, develop sleep apnea. Obesity increases the chance of developing sleep apnea, yes. But

Emotionally immature people tend to be a liability, not an asset. Therapy can help, but they first need a willingness to do better.

I am only going to address the last point, because I believe is a summary of your whole critique. > The very idea that everyone experiences the same emotions is itself a cultural byproduct of a culture that often sees itself as the mirr

I find this notion discombobulating every time it pops up. Just because a particular nuance of an emotion doesn't have its own precise word in the local language, it doesn't mean that the locals don't experience it. Emotions

I am happy for all those who celebrate. Quick reminder that not all mothers are good people that we must keep in touch with. For people recovering from a rough childhood, here are a couple of resources that may be useful to you: 1. "Ad

Yes, you touch on something that is key to the past few years of soft disclosure: why are highly cleared people like Grusch, Gallaudet, Nell, and so many others putting themselves in such a delicate position? I have not been able to come up

According to US congresswoman Luna this is the first of several releases that will be coming out in the following weeks. Edit: I had a look at a bunch of the videos and didn't find anything remarkable, in my opinion. The witness testim

You make a good point. At the same time, when he broke his electoral promise to stop foreign interfefence and kidnapped Maduro, his voter base did not turn against him. That seems to have emboldened him to pursue more military actions abroa

My experience has been exactly that: retirement = uninterrupted weekend. I can't understand people who can't conceive of a healthy fulfilling life that does not involve work or volunteering. There is more to life than laboring.

My intuition is that it is a lot like sports betting: many laypeople bet for what they hope will happen, rather than trying to beat the market earnestly. The winners, as you point out, are the house and those with insider knowledge.

The human doesn't need to be as highly trained and paid as a doctor if the human is not performing tasks concordant with that training.

I am merely explaining why I take care of my kids. Your reaction suggests that you feel attacked by that, when it is not my intention at all. Where do you think that reaction may be coming from?

Treating childcare as a chore to be assigned to whichever parent dislikes it the least is not in the best interest of the children. They benefit from having two engaged parents.

All of that is true, but how does that relate to convection? That is the part I find puzzling.

In the same way you power through taking care of your kids, not because you enjoy it but because you prioritize their well-being, how likely is it that moms are generally doing the same? It seems to me like men have been historically avoidi

Just to be clear: this was said by Bryan Catanzaro, the VP of applied deep learning at Nvidia. It is not generalizable to workers using AI tools on their day-to-day work. A few teams like his are notorious for requiring a ton of computation

Of course. But the question to determine the degree of responsibility of OpenAI hinges on the sort of questions it answered, not whether there are better tools that the criminal should have used.

Until the logs are released it is going to be impossible to say whether the AI simply provided factual information to reasonable queries. E.g. did the shooter ask "When is X location the busiest?" , or did they ask "What is
