Instead of wine I'd go with resveratrol directly.

This is really interesting. It might draw a lot of tourism because it’s so easy to get around. It’s not even about the money. It’s about the stress-free way of traveling.

We need to implement a global market for CO2 emissions. If the supply of rights to emit C02 is low enough (e.g., negative), the price will raise so high that these people can make a profit of removing CO2.

I'm running it on my M1 MBP. Also super happy. How do you use suspend? That’s the only thing I’m really missing currently.

Thanks for pointing it out so clearly. Bayesian statistics is the right tool for this analysis as we have a base rate in the population (prior) and a test accuracy (conditional probability).

I very much appreciate this article as it explains how science advances. I read the book by Seligman and highly recommend it also to people outside the field. On the other hand it seems like the author needs to justify that science can be w

Computers and peripherals have been coming closer to our bodies for decades. Think of the first mobile phones and how strange it was to see people talking on the street. Now, we have headphones with ANC. So, something for eyes might very we

Every test has some failure rate aka asterisk. A priori a we cannot dismiss a test for a high failure rate. It depends on how severe the condition is. So for really nasty cancers, we accept higher false positive rates because of the severe

I think Microsoft should improve Excel in several ways. Especially, there should be version control and a possibility to review code. Sometimes I see super complex Excel calculations. The code is barely readable because it’s in this tiny te

What would be the harm? It’s a blood test for a broad spectrum of cancers. So any doctor and patient should know that there is a non-zero false positive rate. So the harm could be CT scans, biopsies, colonoscopies, … Also some kind of psych

Actually, I run it on my MacBook. Two things that might discourage most people: - CPU idle (they are trying to hack it into the their forked kernel but it will be a long way for proper support by Linux) - Sleep (not even Apple’s deep sleep)

The people from Asahi Linux are doing an exceptional job. They’re moving pretty fast. So you won’t have to wait too long. I'm using Asahi Linux on my M1 because I dislike MacOS. I would already recommend it for a Mac Mini but not for a

Google is part of a profit-maximizing company. Slowly, they are transitioning from showing relevant results and some ad in a separate box to results that maximize profit directly because they’re sponsored or whatever. The founders even expl

I'd rather say the corpus itself. Of course scrapers might play a role in creating that corpus. But it’s just one part: maybe also OCR and OCR correction, format conversion (think of double column PDFs).

Google and Meta may be the companies with the most detailed personal information. Yet they don’t manage to have the best model. As others have pointed out, the secret for the NN may be to just have as much parameters as possible. So if I ha

I was in Germany as an exchange student (in 2012). In the library, they had copying machines that photographed from top and processed the images so they looked like perfect scans. You would just go there with a book and USB drive, turn page

Reading through the comments so far I got the impression that people don’t discuss biological or physiological issues that much. I'm not in any related field. So my argument is based on high school biology: sperm-producing cells of an

Not a psychologist here. I guess you want to say that it’s a poor metric for intelligence . Not so sure. IQ is measured in standardized tests. Participants should have the same amount of time to answer the questions. If intelligent people

I like tab-less browsers. Leaving tab/window management to the OS means I don’t have to learn browser-specific commands on top of the OS's ones. I'm using Firefox with a custom userChrome.css: #TabsToolbar { visibility: colla

If you would establish a price and someone would pick up your name for another price, would that make you happy? Alfred Nobel did not establish a price in economics. So IMHO this price should not have his name. Sure, the official name is a

The author seems to imply that there's a Nobel Prize in economics. There is no such prize. There's only: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

Simply with [description](filename.md) With Vim, I can quickly navigate to the other files. I think Markdown viewers/editors should also be able to handle these links.

I tried countless notes and productivity apps. They all didn’t work. Now, I have a folder called zettelkasten. It contains a collection of interlinked markdown files. It’s the first time something like this works for me. I does so because I

There was a time when I mounted ~/downloads as a tempfs. After a day of work, all files that I didn’t put in their supposed location, got cleaned up. Now, I have a much simpler approach: whenever I touch a file, I'll put it into t

Just before the title, there is "opinion". This is also reflected in the text. It seems rather like the preferred future of the author than a thorough analysis.

I'm trying not to optimize this too much. It’s unclear if I really need something in the future given that we have something like ChatGPT already. Also I don’t want to be an information hoarder. In short, if something doesn’t work, I j

Maybe this is a bit too early for a 10 year old. Definitely not for a 15 year old. I did exactly that when I was that age. Also I think there a much less hardware issues today. Tinkering with Linux was my first real computing experience and
