To some extent I'm sure the answer is yes, so I think the operative question is not "Are kids learning what I learned?" Instead it has to be something more subtle. Perhaps "Is kids' knowledge broadened and deepened

My grandfather suffered chronic sciatic nerve pain. My father suffered chronic sciatic nerve pain. Now I, too, suffer chronic sciatic nerve pain. I wonder why that is? You have no idea how bad it can get. No, surely it's made up. Never

The answer is supposed to be "iota itself is unusual," but imo iota is not really remarkable by itself. I mean it's nice, it's not pointless (though arguably it isn't parsimonious), but you could just type in the nu

You'd think most people who put stuff on arXiv would already be reasonably confident it is correct, at least through correspondence with their peers. However... That said, I've no reason to doubt this proof (it is not within my wh

This strikes at a problem with the definition of "processing" foods. Nixtamalization is "processing," but is mandatory to ensure one does not develop a vitamin deficiency on a maize diet.

Unsurprisingly easy to break, but surprisingly difficult to introduce new context. Other RP-style LLM engines admit off-the-wall context introduction more readily. It also rejects statements that it deems out of character, which is a bit

The measure of success of a search engine is how quickly I leave it with the info I want in hand. I too find this a bit strange. Downranking results that would otherwise be naturally highly ranked seems only to inhibit the operation of the

Not exactly. What I mean to say is this: We know there are certain phenotypes that predominantly appear in certain populations, in broad strokes. But while we do have lists of correlates, we don't have good definitions for what an &q

Well, in this case the control does not really match the treatment group at all, so I would suggest that may be a serious flaw. If the hypothesis is that the proprietary algorithm is responsible for the change in the treatment group, it is
