I think it's feasible that the females were significantly more qualified than the males. The fact that going to Caltech is seemingly against the gender norm for women may actually cause them to self-select for only the most qualified

How do you know that, of the Caltech applicants, there weren't just more qualified women than men? Women are outperforming men in education across the board.

Exactly. If you are cured you stop doing the treatment. If you are not cured but only somewhat better, you continue it.

Usually if something isn't working it becomes a bottleneck so a lot gets built up behind it. Once the 'dam breaks' so to speak you're playing catch up plus you probably don't want to think about the problem anymore.

That's not exactly it, either. Right to work means unions and companies can't negotiate union security agreements . These are agreements that non-union workers have to pay to support the union, since they are benefitting from the

I think companies can fire you for pretty much any reason (or no reason) in America, other than discrimination.

Cool. Even if it never updates, I think it's awesome. Thanks for building and releasing it.

I guess what I'm getting at is, we shouldn't expect this hand-picking to continue indefinitely, since this isn't a paid service. I'm guessing the playlists will start to loop before too long?

I wish my YouTube recommendations were anywhere good enough to do this.

This is awesome! How are the videos being chosen? Without any monetization, I guess we shouldn't expect anything more than a loop of the same videos, right?

That's funny, I just got to that part in my rereading of IJ and I had no idea it was completely wrong.

It's also a contradiction to say that valuing nature is nihilistic. At best, it's begging the question.

I believe watering at night will generally lead to more fungal rot problems. Better to water early morning, when the water will have a chance to sink into the soil, but will be pulled up into the plant by evaporation of water from the leav

It doesn’t have to be either/or. Plants can both compete and cooperate with each other in different ways.

If modern farming protocols are to water at the soil, I would be strongly willing to bet that is the best way to water, at least for our particular situation of growing the crops we grow on the farms we grow them on. Much has gone into stud

I agree with you overall, but some vegetables were found in a recent study to be more efficiently grown at home. Also, a lot of people already have turfgrass farms and converting those to veggie farms would be a huge net win. Finally, if yo

I’m okay with AI being used in creative processes where the output is vetted by an actual human. If there’s AI generated content in Netflix ads, I’m guessing it’s of this type. There’s also the option to move on from Netflix if you don’t li

You really don’t think it’s easier to rewrite and redeploy some code than to take fix a bridge or something? >>so it doesn’t make sense to hold it to the same standard of correctness, and prioritize speed of deployment more. >Why?
