   I'm not an evolutionary biologist, but this article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_game_theory ) mentions Hamilton's rule: A given altristic gene will propogate if "the genetic relatedness of

   I disagree, I find it intuitive that autism is genetic. View autism as a genetically induced alternate brain development. Usually it doesn't pan out, but sometimes it leads to innovation that wouldn't otherwise be possible. This l

   I'm always fascinated by how simple functions like this generate complex behavior when iterated.

   Similar community problems happened on Wikipedia. Give many users moderation power, and they'll each enforce their own view of what the site should be.

   I'm curious specifically what friction you ran into.

   So instead, just use: * TypeScript * Sass * A data-binding framework like Angular Problems solved :)

   I was going to remark on the very same sentence. I'm not sure whether gifted children have a natural affinity toward math, of if they're just genetically predisposed to be more interested in it. In either case, neuroplasticity mea

   > Those weren't my studies. Those were my hobbies. Then your case does not contradict the OC's view that "Gifted children are "gifted" with a laser focus on the unusual things that they find fun - math, music, wh

    Pretty cool if there were a SETI equivalent for this on our own DNA.

    Can't blame Facebook for not wanting to get slogged down in angsty "existential" memes.

    https://gnunet.io/ looks down from here, maybe due to the HN traffic.

    The brain evolved, and neural nets are trained, to optimize for high-density, "low-cost" information storage. So it would make sense if there is a structural correlation between the two in terms of how information is represented.

    Wow! This seems related to [self-discrepancy theory]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-discrepancy_theory ), which posits that the gap between the "ideal self" and the "actual self" creates inner co

    Huh. What percent of pages would estimate get less than say 100 organic views a month?

    Great breakdown. The animation at the end is more convincing than any fake candle I've seen. I'll make sure to use your model if I ever need to simulate flame lighting in a game. Nitpicking, but I think this is technically data mo

    I'd argue both are true. Trying to escape a personal problem only makes it worse. This creates a sort of negative feedback loop.

    The "quiet eye" reminds me of "quieting the mind" in meditation. An athlete will perform better in times of pressure if they can focus on the task and not get distracted mentally. And it's visible in the eyes when a

    I'm impressed by the simplicity of this design. How much control can you get out of the robot over that power cable? Is timing and computation done on the robot itself, or on the other side of the wire?

    That's neat, but there aren't that many situations where I have access to a monitor and keyboard, but am missing a computer.
