I'm working in a library that was written by someone who no longer works at the company who thought this way. It's an absolute nightmare to understand. He may have been in the "coding zone," but he chose variable names t

I'm Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) and prefer low carb because I feel better, but it doesn't change my personality traits or cognitive tendencies one iota.

I was blown away at just how little exercise is required to significantly increase your lifespan: 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week. That's it. The Copenhagen City Heart Study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiol

Given the wide variety of experiences of commenters here, I'm starting to wonder if they're split testing multiple versions.

I was aware of the brief, but until now had never taken the time to read it. It's probably the funniest amicus brief ever written. Thanks for linking.

Me too. At least we'd have people on the playing field who agree to the fundamental rules of democracy. Rules like "when you lose an election, you concede and transfer power."

I've heard this talking point before, and it's really silly to frame it as shenanigans somehow because of the timing, rather than elected officials enacting popular policies that the voters want. That's literally their job.

"potential in the space?" If you read the article, they essentially just have Tesla Autopilot with self insurance and driver monitoring removed. This "landmark achievement" only works on freeways and under 40 mph.

I understand currying to be using a closure to "bake in" a value for a parameter. Reading through these comments, it's clear that currying isn't clearly understood, which makes me doubt it's worth the cognitive load

You seem to be reacting to your own assumption that the original response was making an assumption. I understood it instead to be generalizing to a related concept, and inferred no condescension, FWIW.

Weak FUD article referencing a single forum post. Garbage, but not unexpected from the NY Post. I try not to click on anything with a headline that has superlative clickbait words like "astounding"

During COVID, I realized how ridiculous the great toilet paper panic run as, and just bought a $30 bidet attachment instead.

If elevated CO2 increases vasopressin, and if increased vasopressin drives symptoms of autism, then wouldn't we see a large population with autism symptoms in the Midwest or anywhere that people are indoors all winter?

When you have a massive megaphone, your choices have impact at scale. So "having a conversation" is functionally identical to promoting, as is "just asking questions" if you're Tucker Carlson, or "exercising yo

At least on Youtube, Google's AI does, yes. And? Do they have a track record of crafting a false reality for people?

This deeply worries me. A post-truth society loses it's ability to participate in democracy, becomes a low-trust society, the population falls into learned helplessness and apathy ("who can even know what's true any more?&quo

The great thing about AI, is that it's exactly optimized for discriminating in gray areas with difficult-to-articulate rules like "I'll know it when I see it."

In an US election year when stakes are high, it's concerning that not every platform has a similar policy in place, now.

I want to be an AI optimist, but the author makes a few assumptions which I don't think hold up. Re: comparative advantage... Outsourcing tasks you comparatively prefer not to do doesn't translate into someone paying you for it, i

This is the correct answer, and actually addresses the question. I tell people "I don't make decisions on the spot," or "I need to consider it, I'll respond by end of day," etc.

Yeah, it's pretty absurd to consider addressing the systemic bias as racism against white people. If we're distributing bananas equitably, and you get 34 because your hair is brown and the person who hands out bananas is just used
