This depends on your views on personal identity. It's not necessarily true that "you" exist from death to birth. Consciousness could be a singleton, and "You" could be everyone in the universe. Or perhaps "you&

Telegram is more of a social media platform than a messenger. It has public 'channels' - read-only blogs without likes and comments. The biggest Belarusian channel 'Nexta' has 2M+ subscribers.

The SMB3 ACE is one of the most technically interesting glitches. The usual skips and saves are much more mundane. My point here is that there is similarity between (some) human players and some AI players. Even the discussion whether explo

The growth pattern is still exponential, instead of going x -> 2 * x, you go x -> 9/8 * x + 6. I think it should still be O(1) amortized, you just need to adjust your proof for doubling a bit.

I guess it depends on your definition of arrays, and what you expect from them. For example, Ruby calls a similar thing array: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.0.0/Array.html To me it is kind of self-growing array

by eatitraw 8y ago
I think you have a point about C or C++ notion of arrays having the same type. I'll probably rewrite that paragraph, since the main point is to tell people unfamiliar with Python that lists aren't actually linked lists.

It is indexable, and it is used as an array, so I guess it is an array in all implementations. But good point, I should check this. Dicts are definktely implemented differently in different implementations, and I mention this.

How did your dogs figure out that a button gets your attention? Did you have to train them in some way? Also, I am wondering how dogs know when to expect you back. Is their sense of time that accurate and they can easily realize that 9-ish

Spot on. I wish ADHD had a less cute sounding name, maybe then people would take it more seriously. And it is also a misnomer: it is often about being unable to regulate attention (rather than simply having a lack of it), which leads to mys

What's your point here? ADHD brains are still there. You can choose not to medicate yourself if you don't want to.

There is a 'hunter vs farmer hypothesis'. It is certainly a cute idea. But even if it is true, the society isn't going back to back to persistence hunting. There is some real human suffering right now (simply by definition fr

I am really surprised at all the skepticism about ADHD in this thread. 1) Attention (or executive functioning in general) is normally distributed, just like a lot of other human traits. If you don't doubt that intelligence is normally
