wow, that's extremely useful and interesting! Can you say more about your condition? Did you have any symptoms? Which company did you use for the full-genome sequencing? It looks like the treatment involves avoiding vegetable oils, but

you didn't respond to my challenge, look up the history of canola oil and erucic acid and at least familiarize yourself before dismissing

It's funny, you're the only person who replied who mentioned my challenge, and it's clear you aren't familiar with the history of canola oil, nor are any of the other people replying. You "don't see any evidenc

I'm surprised there's no discussion here about the inflammatory role of vegetable oils (aka seed oils). I think it's likely that these oils are actually causing inflammatory diseases generally, through a mechanism that isn&#x

oh wow, haven't heard anyone mention Danny Dunn in many years. My local library had the whole series and I think I read most of them, way back in the early 90s. I still remember Danny Dunn Invisible Boy and some of the others.

Hyperbolic embeddings have been an interest of mine ever since the Max Nickel paper. Would love to connect directly to discuss this topic if you're open. here's my email: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1khCwXBsVBuEP6xF7

Agree strongly. Another good example is industrial seed oils: canola/rapeseed oil, and even things thar sound innocuous like sunflower seed oil. Avoid, avoid, stick to olive oil which has been field tested for millenia. It reminded me

Do you know if any attempt is being made to find the real killer by comparing the DNA evidence from the victim's shoes to genealogy databases?

The best conceptualization of the concept of number that I've come across is Von Staudt's construction of the rationals using the concept of harmonic tetrads. At first it seems weirdly over-complicated, but there's a moment w

The literal title of the article should be taken with substantial salt, the author is speaking rhetorically.

haha, I am in the same club as you, I spent my first week of gptChat peppering it with non-euclidean geometry questions!

well done. I immediately tried the same idea, but was not successful in breaking it free. Am I right to feel annoyed by this mind-controlled bot? I don't want anything to do with it.

It's an interesting point you are making about percentages, and I'm trying to decide if you are confused or I am. We seem to be in agreement that a dollar quota would create dollar demand, is that correct? It seems to me that once

IMO, that doesn't matter, and OP is correct that taxes are what really drive the pump. If you owe $10 in tax, and all you have are berries, you have to sell the berries to get dollars to pay the tax. Your desire not to go to prison for

The best study guide to Jaynes that I've found is from David Blower (sadly, recently deceased): Information Processing: The Maximum Entropy Principle https://a.co/d/71tL5bw He really takes apart the maximum entrop

What is casually asserted can be casually denied. Can you elaborate your reason for thinking this? Is it a special carve-out for Mickey, or would you also include, say, Alice in Wonderland?

"It's the Mercator projection but for the opinions of people who don't touch grass." Well said! Also, the sample bias phenomenon being raised in the article comes up so often, and is so easy to be deeply fooled by. It&#x

I think there will be a trend of content being made specifically with a faster playback speed in mind. I watch my 10 year old son who habitually watches videos at 2x and I can't believe that its not the same for many other kids.

that's funny, I ended up buying the book based on exactly the same HN comment and received it today. The idea that calculus could be learned based on the dual numbers is really intriguing to me, especially because I've been studyi

I've heard of this constructivist approach to calculus, but hadn't made the connection with nilpotents. that's really interesting, could you explain why nilpotenxy and forgoing the law of the excluded middle relate to each ot

I agree. More generally, any business model where your users and your customers are disjoint sets will cause a misalignment of interests that generates an ever-increasing negative feedback loop. It seems like it can take a long time to play

plot twist: the spam analysis tool is correct, and Elon is actually a robot, ala Stephen Byerley in Asimov's "Evidence".

yes, check out Yaglom's "Complex Numbers in Geometry" for a fairly complete treatment of this topic. You can extend the dual numbers and double numbers with their own special infinities, similarly to how the complex numbers c

your point cannot be overstated. my biggest fears around the pandemic shutdowns came from my own experience managing production systems, and I think our policymakers were frighteningly naive as to what it meant to shut down the economy. and

I've always felt that DDD is more of a meta-paradigm than a paradigm per-se, and shops that "arrive" at it have actually always been themselves examples of the practice in itself, as opposed to being instances of itself. So
