Not bad, but suppose the dictionary has n lines and you only want to randomly sample k=100 of them, where n is so huge that you don't want to scan over the whole file at all. Can you use random access into the file to sample k lines in

Not bad, but suppose the dictionary is too big to load into memory - could AI suggest an online (reservoir sampling) algorithm as an alternative?

You can't just package "people who love you" into a pill though. That probably requires rewinding society to where we all lived close to extended family.

Yeah I think the idea is that without the algorithm, a landlord is more likely to game theoretically "defect" and advertise lower rent to fill a vacancy, but the algorithm discourages that in favor of cooperation/collusion.

It takes both, nature and nurture. If Ramanujan were raised as a goatherd in an illiterate society I don't think he would've accomplished much mathematically.

If you look at fields medalists I think most of them got interested in math super young and got exposed earlier to much more material than average mathematicians. So they may have an IQ advantage, but they definitely also have a data/t

It's hard to find data for commercial vegetables in the US. I did find one study looking at urban gardens (e.g. carrots grown in your backyard if you live in the city) and the levels were like 100x the Polish figures shown above.

See table 7 in https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-91554-z Carrot is just one example. 0.027 mg lead / kg carrot. Or 0.027 micrograms lead / g carrot. According to the asyousow.org report linked above

You should see how much lead is in the average carrot. Last I checked, baby carrots can have similar lead/lb as the chocolates they're talking about here. And people chow down on carrots thinking they're "healthy".

Extended family is definitely better for raising kids. The problem is nuclear family is better for chasing good jobs and making money (likely far away from extended family). As the saying goes, you can serve Mammon/wealth, or god/

Sounds like a dog whistle to me. If someone talked constantly about, say, "toxic women", would you really believe they were only talking about a subset?
