I haven't looked into it, so there might be a good reason, but why isn't peer-to-peer technology utilized more and more for stuff like this? I had hoped that BitTorrent would have made these things a solved problem. I looked into

It's counterintuitive to me that a more specific concept/subgroup of a phenomenon would be less useful than a larger catch-all category. Is the self-rated questionnaire depression scale used in this study a good "rigorously o

This comment ignores the possible effectiveness of both psilocybin and SSRIs and focuses on the usefulness of the research itself. I actually believe that both have a role in psychiatry, but this study tells me nothing with regards to thera

My interpretation: Illusion of information relates to adequacy when evaluating if you have all the necessary information, leading to potential misunderstandings or misinformed decisions because of unseen gaps in knowledge. The Dunning-Krug

Thank you for this. I am looking for as much information on Lama 70b running locally, but not finding as much as I would like. How come you have access to both 7995WX and M3 Max? Professional setting or hobbyist? I'm not knowledgeable

The headline is misleading and destructive to discourse by inaccurately simplifying Apple's rejection of Bing to a single, trivial issue, neglecting the broader, critical reasons such as Bing's inadequate local language support an

Are people deliberately overstating the "wokeness" og Gemini? As an centrist, I worry as much about the MAGA people as I do the Woke mob. But I'm starting to think that there is an overreaction currently with regards to the d

Properly controlling for "time spent with material" is obvious confounding variable. I doubt this effect is real.

I think some cold water on the hype is good; I just feel this is a bit too negative. It seems that there are many areas where the M3 is doing a good job of increasing both performance in general, and also performance per wattø: https:&#x2F

As I mentioned earlier, one approach is a natural experiment following an accident. You could compare recovery outcomes between two groups that received different treatments (e.g., immediate vs. delayed medical care) due to circumstances be

Sand is largely composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is a chemical compound. Each grain of sand is a tiny crystal composed of atoms of silicon and oxygen bonded together. These grains are formed by geological processes over long period

Sand is a forever chemical. Almost everything on earth is a forver chemical. And this is exactly what is triggering me. 'X has been found in y'. Yes, but can we please have one single good study that shows what the danger of that

But you do agree that it would be better if we got some studies that went beyond "particles have been observed in tissue" to something like "This is the dose-to-morbidity curve for this group of nanoparticles"?My issue i

I am sorry, but I am not able to connect with what you are saying. Many technologies have been studied properly and been found to be safe or unsafe. Smoking, non-ionizing radiation, airbags, alcohol consumption, exercise, beta-blockers, met

I find that people who say "we need real-life practical studies" often have a viewpoint 180 degrees opposite to mine regarding research. They become annoyed when RCT (randomized controlled trials) studies prove that homeopathy or

I am extremely skeptical about this research. Firstly, the "plastic is bad" narrative is too easy to believe, just because plastic is ugly. It's also starting to follow the pattern I have seen in clinical psychology, where ma

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Some reduction is probably because of changes in protective styles of parents. But I think that the reduction of deaths due to car accidents is primarily driven by safety standards and better ca

I can try to elaborate, but my claims (and they are just claims), should be interpreted just as narrowly as you would when reading code, because changing even one little thing breaks the message: In the context of: "The kids I meet as

The need to tell people about "this thing happened" is strangely disconnected from reality and more grounded in an emotional rating of "how much do I want to tell people this fact".

Just my personal experience working as a psychologist with kids: The kids who were overly protected had about the same amount of problems as the kids from seriously neglected homes. So when I want to make my case for NOT overprotecting kids

There is two levels of moderation in my mind. The first is to logical/ mathematically determine if the rule is broken, with goal of amoraly just answer if the rule is broken (binary). The second step is to determine the degree of rigid
