IMO, if you’re burnt out I am not sure that’s the best time to take on a risky endeavor. Taking risks means dealing with a greater chance of failure, regardless of how calculated that risk may be. I don’t think one can reason about failure

Do physicists think time actually exists? I wonder if someone has reasoned that time is an accounting method that humans have developed to make sense of their experienced change of systems. Wolfram uses the words progression and computation

I am unconvinced that requiring AM radio in new cars is just “fan service” or outdated. Emergency scenarios often require a PSA (public service announcement), and it’s easy enough to envision a scenario where communications degrade in succe

I like the idea of this! But is there any reason to be concerned about walled gardens in this case, like how Apple does with its iOS ecosystem? For example, what if access to model weights could be revoked. There is a lot of interest in reg

I am excited about human augmentation, and I don’t see much work, research or funding in this space outside of work in genetics. If I get the time some day, I may do a blog post on the topic.

There’s no clear definition currently, but based on my work in IEEE standards and my own research, I always define AI as an autonomous system which determines paths to its desired outcomes using multimodal inputs. While I think the computat

From what I’ve seen, the results are not the same. In the latter scenario, there’s a risk of encountering a non sequitur all of a sudden, and the citations may be nonexistent. There’s also no guarantee that what you’re stating is factually

These are interesting observations for social interactions, and I think they’re generally useful. One thing I’ve personally noticed is that traumatized people have cognitive distortions which go beyond simply social awkwardness. There are p

Cool, interesting! Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there are such links, even if this one is not supported by further research. We know that gingivitis can lead to heart disease, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find that gut microbial imba

Several comments are assuming the goal of the secret method is making someone sick. But as others have said, becoming sick may be a symptom of exposure, so the intended purpose is something else like surveillance. Here’s the problem though,

Part of the problem is the idea of mind-body duality. Your body is your mind, but a physiological reaction relayed from a nerve is only part of the equation that’s you.

Physiological responses, the kind relayed from major body organs to the brain via the vagus nerve, are not necessarily your “mind” in the sense that they contribute towards your conscious actions or self-directed goals. But yeah, they send

How cool! But is the gel really learning, or does it just have some type of material elasticity such that it helps with playing the game? One way to find out is to change the game mid-play when the gel starts getting better at play. Organis
