I still have a hard time in mental arithmetics. During my school days, this is one of the things which had instilled the "math phobia" in me. I never really took an interest in math, until I started doing competitive programming i

I am worried about a time when we do get a good quality photo, the hard part would become convincing everyone that it is a real photo and not cgi. I have this fear for pretty much everything, so much of our digital lives depend on the assum

While possible, only the tech-savvy people would take part in this "collective", which is of-course a minor fraction of the data which Google has access to. This is the same argument as saying that if you care about privacy "

Total bio newb here, Can anyone suggest an easy to digest book on biology ? I am always overwhelmed by the nomenclature while trying to get into biology, and to me it always feels like a field with a lot of rote memorisation (for lack of a

That's one view all the reductionists gladly use. I do not disagree with this, but you need to also take into accounts numerous events all throughout the human existence, where this apparent "emergent property" breaks all the

Nice story, each paragraph is pretty densely packed with layers of meaning and wisdom about our own existence and nature of reality. Although this is pure fiction and speculation, thought experiments like these (existence of free will, lapl

What would you do if you provide shelter during a downpour to some people? And instead of thanking and trying to integrate (and understand) the way you live in your home, these people start thinking that they own your home and YOU should be

Thanks, so L-Systems are to Fractals as Code is to Application.

Aren't L-systems just fractals ? Also, if someone can expand, what do you think of Stephen Wolfram's theory of everything[0] which to me seems quite similar to L-systems (I might be completely wrong here). Has anyone combined cell

I feel it's the dreaming which makes me tired, I feel exhausted whenever I am able to remember my dreams. I usually feel pretty good if I don't remember any dream after waking up(Assuming they never happened). Now that I think mor

Yeah I totally get what you are saying. I have also noticed that my dreams adapt to outside sounds/lighting changes in realtime. What's more spooky is that the entire dream preserves it cohesion and nothing feels out of place, eve

I have a very weird problem/issue, maybe someone can help. In my school days I used to maintain a dream diary, where I would note down every dream I had after waking up. I stopped doing that when I got into college, but dreams never st

Anyone overlooking the ancient Indian philosophical (or spiritual depending on the way you look at it) literature, a.k.a The Upanishads, is being ignorant about consciousness studies. The term "Chit" ( https://en.wikiped

I think most people (who have tried psychedelics) will have a story like this, but will never share it publicly because of the obvious stigma attached with these "drugs". Most people on HN will try to reduce these experiences and
