My impression is that ChatGPT has at least as much capacity for logic as most people do in normal life, hence doing better than most humans on the LSATs and other tests that test thinking skills. ChatGPT makes logical errors. So do humans.

If you really think about it, most human discussion involves no more reasoning than ChatGPT does. Most human discussion of new ideas is based on clever (or, really, not-so-clever) parroting of the current common wisdom within the peer group

May I suggest that, if you have't already, you get a 23andme. "While light alcohol consumption has been associated with a decreased risk of AD in general [127], this relationship does not appear to hold in ApoE4 carriers. Consumpt

Thanks for the mention of pterostilbene which I hadn't heard of before. Will check it out. And for the brain iron article.

There is reason to think red wine, with its unique combination of resveratrol, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, might be an exception to that. For example, the conclusion of a meta-analysis of 12 studies on the subject says: "This stu

OK. My guess was that the person I was responding to didn't know that for $20/mo they could get all the answers they want to questions like the one they were asking (even if not always perfect), and do so immediately and effortles

To the OP: you're getting a lot of discouraging comments here. But I had the same idea as you and just didn't take the time. I don't know if it's actually a useful idea or not, but I really do feel it has potential to be

APL was the first language I learned after IBM 360 Assembly in the 1970s while I was in college. I really liked it because I was a math major and it was extremely well-suited to math operations on arrays. I used it for finding objects on th

Even the Settings app is OK with me... speaking as a Mac user (almost) continuously since the original Mac Plus (although I use Linux for servers): I really just couldn't care less about the change in the settings app. I usually typed

Nope, not a "wind up", this really happened! If interested for any reason, see the link I posted for full details. :)

I agree. In the old SP I usually used spotlight to find what I wanted as quickly as possible. Now, I usually still do. The practical difference is negligible. I have no trouble finding the settings I want to modify, and a rarely have a need

in 1995, I thought that it would be good if advertisements could be served from hubs to large numbers of web sites. That would mean that advertisers wouldn't have to hire ad space salespeople, which was far too expensive for most sites

Might be worthwhile to run the same code with an appropriate numba decorator. My guess is that you'd get at least as much speed up but without having to change the sieve declaration, but I'm not sure.

I really like the look of this. I don't see a license statement on your github; I'd be tempted to use it if you want people to be able to!

I'm a true-blue Dylan fan, and have been since the late 1967 or so when I became old enough to appreciate his work and feel that his latest album, released when he was almost 80, is one of his greatest works. But I love his folk and pr
