I'm an amateur, so I rarely push myself to a point of making real predictions. Mostly I think in hindsight: I just observe what happens, and see how it aligns with different hypotheses. It is not rigorous enough for a modern scientific

If we are going technical, then I'd say he revealed some "secret facts". I was interested to read details on inner working of FSB as a system: I'm a programmer, I look at systems made of humans as I look at software syst

Yeah, I rejected all these lies being a Russian, I thought it was for stupid people, but for a couple of years I started to notice that sometimes roles reversed. Just like the meme "In Soviet Russia..." We are not doing constructi

Yes, I think it is a good idea. Putin is failing in informational war. He does think about it as a war, and he is losing it in Russia. I expect him to change his strategy of fighting "west lies" in any case. And the more difficult

They refer to a crisis in a sense Thomas Kuhn used. The point where paradigm shift is needed. Physics has experience with it. General relativity theory was a paradigm shift following a crisis.

The explanation is confusing indeed because closer means not only "brighter" but also closer. But we can try to overcome this confusion by a thought experiment: lets compress Andromeda galaxy by a factor of k and divide distance b

I see it as a violation of WET principle[1]. I have a long history of violating it myself, and with scripts it is basically the same: do not write script for any task, before you solved this task at least once. Moreover writing a program to

I pray for Ukraine. This one more sign that morale of Russian troops is low. There were also reports of Donbass males being forcibly conscripted to a military service prior to the invasion.

Yes, it is about playing on historical sentiments. Putin always do it. And I'm ashamed and sorry to hear that it is not confined to a Russian-speaking world but spills to neighbours.

I think it is close to a modern understanding of rasism, though an extreme variant: one race to rule them all. To rule or to genocide. Hitler was not so much against Jews he was against non-Aryan people, the group that included Jews and Rus

I agree that it is irrelevant. It is more like a linguistic research from my part. If the author understand Nazism in a different manner then I was taught in school, then I'd better pick it up, or I would misunderstand all such argumen

I'm a little confused. The article argues that Ukraine is not a Nazi country (for clarity: I agree with it) and the argument is "the president of Ukraine is Jew". But it does't contradict to Putin. I'm not sure wher

It seems that Dyson sphere may be seen in infrared? So James Webb will find one, if they exist. We need just to wait a few years.

People are going to die. To lose their homes. Just because of politics and money. It is even not their money. I can understand what you are talking about, I felt it myself in the past, and I'm ok with it. But you are sounding now like

I studied psychology after I studied math, and the most funny thing that happened to me after the second: I become less concerned about truths and more about people, about what they say and why they say it. There are two examples in the art

Yes, you are right. I concentrated on another graph, that shows the use of "intuition" words starts to grow closer to 2000. But it fits perfectly to a narrative of "The Book of Why" of Judea Pearl. He tells the history o

According to the article rationality started to decline at ~2000, and about at the same time psychology came short of a rejection of all the prior research due to deficiencies in a methodology. Maybe it is not a decline of a rationality, bu

Yes, you need to maintain cadence, because of reasons, like saving your knees from wearing off. But if you want to win Tour de France, then you need to learn how to maintain constant speed also. Not just visually constant, not just as your

It is not about "leg issues", it is also about you mind needs to control your leg. And about your fuel costs: software can regulate power much more precise, speed becomes virtually constant, no acceleration means no changes in a k
