This site does a terrible job of curating what is supposed to be a limited, selective list. I tried to access the first 60 entries. 11 of them were dead links. 4 were just links to advertisements for books (very much not a "memo, a dec

Every study that suggests viability of SSRIs to treat or prevent Long COVID presents plausible mechanisms for why they might have that effect. And none of them are "the patients are probably just sad and faking it."

Creatinine can be an indicator that your kidneys are not working well. It's a cheap red flag that can be screened for in a common blood test. But if heightened creatinine is a result of one's creatine supplementation, then there a

It's interesting they only included 6 metrics this time. Opus 4.7 had 12, and 4.6 had 13. Of the metircs they reported for 4.7, for 4.8 they excluded BrowseComp, CharXiv Reasoning, CyberGym, GPQA Diamond, MCP Atlas, MMMLU, SWE-bench V

While criticism of Israel should not be conflated with antisemitism, the concept of a "Zionist Occupation Government," without question, originates from neo-nazi conspiracy theories. Take that shit elsewhere.

I agree with most of this, but my one qualm is the notion that LLMs "are particularly good at generating ideas." It's fair enough that you can discard any bad ideas they generate. But by design, the recommendations will be av

You can remove em dashes from the analysis and the trend is still there: newly created accounts are still 6X more likely to use the remaining LLM indicators (arrows and bullets, p = 0.00027). Ellipses were never part of the analysis.
