"everything is memorization at the end of the day" Only somebody who has never thought about or studied human cognition would memorize such a thing. ;) But in all seriousness, memory isn't even memory isn't just memoriza

You have s home snd a nice one most likely. The typical ER "frequent flyer" does not. Many are unhoused or members of the renter class, or living with parents/caregivers/etc... I think it would he interesting to compare

Strange to me so few comments, none based on my skimming mention either, 1) reading code, 2) shakespeare. There's levels of reading. Sometimes you skim, sometimes close read. Sometimes you read to glean something about the author, some

Thanks for the guidance. To try and clarify, I was not saying that hm is turning into reddit. Rather I was saying the opposite, that I value hn for its distinct non-redditness and that I would love it if there were features that optimized t

Perhaps it is actually myself that's confused. I was not thinking in terms of "destitute in a ditch" money but rather the money that's currently being provided the the vast majority of American seniors. Sounds like you&#

I'm imaging an index that measures the semantic similarity between reddit and hn threads on a particular topic. I feel like adding that measure to front page to allow users to sort threads would be beneficial in increasing signal-to-no

Well, if the privatized version doesn't allow other people to take my money away from me at the point of a gun and give it to other people, using the state's proverbial "monopoly on violence" it doesnt seem like a very f

One of the better comments in this thread, I would only qualify that different levels of ability mediate much of the "how hard is it to make an unmaintainable mess" dimension. Dplyr/tidy code can be pasta, as can pandas, and

I got downvoted but I'd point out two things: the featured "study" is psychology, it would never pass muster in one of the flagship psychology journals-- and that says a lot! Maybe it's correct in its conclusions. Who kn

Right. But it's good to know Nature isn't good anymore. Maybe it never was? I always held it in pretty high regard.

Meta. Nature jumped the shark. That's sad, but important information.

Well if you think he didn't make mistakes, or think that any human is error free, then you have an oppinion that is not based on science. Some sort of zealotry or hero worship or something along those lines. Fauci made mistakes. Scienc

Why downvote, that's exactly what I said. I'm glad you agree that even experts make mistakes. It would be truly strange to argue that point, though many have and do. With respect to Gell-Mann amnesia, to be more exlicit since it s

I believe that's referred to as Gell-Mann Amnesia. Common for most educated consumers of tv and print journalism. Indeed, even Fauci has made mistakes he has later had to correct/retract, like his early herd immunity claim.

If they are able to think, that means they are conscious no? My favorite type of sleep is the sort that precludes conscious mental activity, since I tend to think of work or other mentally fatiguing subject matter and physical sensations li

So they'll just move the goalposts, not remove them entirely? Isn't it a bit difficult to make accurate projections when the current state of things is totally unprecedented? In any case, thanks for giving me hope. Hope helps me c

Probably worth noting that homes are owned by old people, and the old people are in control of the government, making policy that is self serving to the grest detriment of younger Americans. For example social security will end in about 10-

Depressed people get paid less. I'm guessing that's the dissability. Apropos the larger context, job hopping correlates with over-confidence. It's all related.

Good performance is a stretch. It's down 15% on the 1yr and 50% in the 5yr. Arguably it's a safe buy right now, but that's because, given what you say, it is unlikely to fall further. At least under the current administratio
