I'm the same way, although I think society is going to find itself wrestling with a lot of ethical issues it's not prepared for when suddenly everything about human behavior is modifiable. What happens when serial child predatory

That advice — given in many forms by many people — to me almost seems immoral to at this point. It manages to pack so much into a brief assertion, that people who don't achieve something just don't want it badly enough. It's

The replication crisis has been identified in numerous fields in numerous ways. Pharm industry budgets for it, for example. The specific phenomenon described in this paper has been documented in other fields in other ways as well: retracted

I'm not sure what to make of this either. The public medical reports are suggesting psychogenic illness, which does happen. You'd also think something would show up from public medical evaluations. But these recent reports are s

This illustrates an interesting and important point that Bushman has been highlighting over and over and over again. Some of Bushman's stuff has been questionable but this one is maybe nonignorable. One important caveat to it though is

I agree although I've always interpreted it as a combination of difficulty explaining complex architecture, and also not really understanding why things work the way they do. A lot of modern AI sits in this kind of quasi-empirical real

I'm in the US and we use a flat sheet between us and the duvet cover. We wash the duvet cover but the flat sheet gets washed more often and is less expensive to replace, and is replaced more often (nothing gets replaced that often, but

This is what I do as well basically. It's usually more confusing to me to figure out what's top and bottom versus sides than to actually put the cover on.

We've had multiple covers, and the one that we've liked the most has holes in the top corner, along with ties. Long story but we went to someone to have a cover custom made (she advertised this kind of thing, and for us it was par

I guess to me it suggested even more eyes would be even better.

That is a great book on the subject — the authors have published some important work in this area in papers as well.

At one time at least, you'd hear arguments for sticking to ext2 (and then ext3) for stability reasons. But I think your question is why they're being deprecated now.

That's a good question. I'm not sure it could support true global search but I don't know... my guess is there'd probably be some probabilistic guarantee but not much beyond that?

It's also consistent with previous studies in certain ways: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-proves-pop... https://pudding.cool/2018/05/similarity/ https:/&#x

Not the OP, but their comment and your question got me thinking. Sometimes I get the sense that true decentralization could get people to 90% of how they actually use things like Twitter/X, and federation (including major hubs) gets yo

There's a review and meta-analysis somewhere of these kinds of studies (I should be working so am not going to look it up) estimating that about 1/3 of the variance in attractiveness ratings can be attributed to the person being r

Yes, there's something about this that struck me as ageist. There's kind of this odd implicit assumption, for instance, that liking an image means accepting it as genuine. It's entirely possible that people are liking somethi

About miscarriage and caffeine? Unfortunately it's been awhile since I looked into it, due to our own issues with miscarriage. I did a quick look to find what I was thinking of and couldn't find it offhand only because there were

The reverse explanation (bowel cancer recurrence -> decreased coffee consumption) should be kept in mind. There have been similar findings about caffeine and miscarriage, for instance, with higher caffeine intake associated with greater

That reminded me of The Gashlycrumb Tinies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gashlycrumb_Tinies ... I feel like some cultural element, at least during a certain era, is coming into focus for me.

I guess in my research (which has involved proofs), I haven't always known where a proof would lead a priori? I don't usually start with a statement I want and then look to prove it, it's more like I explore various derivatio

One thing that's always been a little unclear to me is this: With proofs, I normally think of the "work" as being in the derivation of a statement that is shown to be true. That is, the value is in deriving a new true stateme

They use it at her school, and I've bought her some books with projects for her because she's liked to do things outside of school too (for example, ML for kids, which is odd to think about but that's what it is). We've

My daughter uses scratch and loves it. My sense is it's good for learning really basic programming concepts (eg, learning a while or for loop controlling a hardware output), and setting up a context for things like Python or Lua later.

I don't think it's necessarily what consumers want. Sometimes it's what business owners want (eg when they retire and sell), and consolidation gives the new owner the benefit of local monopoly or decreased competiton. Absolut

I basically agree with your general sentiment but I think if society is going to really, actually fight mortality, something drastically different has to happen. I don't think rapamycin is that thing but at some point in the future som

Yeah I was going to say something similar, but you put it more succinctly. It seems the message is really about efficiency and sustainability, not necessarily about low tech. Also, framing it as being about low tech sort of helps things but
