It all comes back to a concept as freshman as it gets - Maslow's hierarchy of needs. How are you supposed to get out of any societal freefall without shelter?

I think it goes beyond resilience, at least for me. Sleep is required to experience a state without stress.

I feel like anywhere else in the world North Wales would be taken much more advantage of. It's a stunningly beautiful place, maybe one of the most beautiful in the world, but it is massively impoverished and undervisited and it is hard

I've had a real example of this! I've never even been overweight but a Japanese friend, who was an exchange student, would poke me in the stomach and if there was the slightest pudge he would yell "Hamburger!"

To put this 78 TWh number into perspective, humanity consumed roughly 160,000 TWh in 2017. That's 0.005% of humanities total energy expenditure in 2017.

I've got friends that suffer something like this but I have never been able to put it to words. The danger is when these fastidiously benevolent people implode without warning or giving any signal they may do so.

One of the effects of society is to reduce the number of 'spoons' any person needs to 'spend' a day. This is probably a good argument against those who are anti-automation. As a more efficient automated society slowly lo

Oh nice - I actually quite like the article. Probably shouldn't have come after it so hard. I like level headed people pouring cold-water on bitcoin occasionally as it can get a bit loony.

I feel like these analyses are always very well researched and set-out, but the authors lack any formal qualifications at all. Why read this when there are Nobel prize winners with polemics on Bitcoin? It ends up reading like man-waves-fist

I do wonder how they sleep at night. Probably see themselves as thrifty and clever.

Sounds like you might have an interesting take on what creates a conspiracy theorist? I don't meet many in my life (and I don't follow any, like you), but it seems they are becoming ubiquitous.

A legitimate Chinese perspective on early Maoist China onward. It doesn't cover up the horror that took place. The first few chapters are especially difficult - with lynchings of academics (e.g. cultural revolution). It also covers how

Given the subject matter of the books - I wouldn't want to touch the production of these. And that's sad.

I've heard the leader of this research broke off and created a competing technology - eXtensible Message Routing, or XMR.

And targeted political ads? What about those?

Of course it will, markets already ignore gdp. It's for guiding government policy, like gdp.

I can work all day, but I have vast diminishing returns after hours 4 or 5. Especially if the work is intellectually complex or tiresome in any way. Oftentimes I overextend myself out of necessity - but usually work becomes exponentially st

I'm not sure they are asserting that. In the context of managing or reducing rates of type-2 diabetes, it seems relevant.

Doesn't pytorch also include a graph option? Or is it only a graph-like interface?

Perhaps I came on a little strong about the fanatics. I do think it is worth trying to cull a very large search space with some heuristic to prevent you from searching forever. I do follow defi and I do know the genius and the impetus is th

I agree really - though I appreciate the cynicism more than you do I think. A large portion of the crypto space is raving loony, so it is a bit refreshing. Plus I think hackernews is a little light on the hackers and a bit more heavy on t

Technical analysis may be wrong but knowing about technical analysis gives you insight into what a portion of daytraders are thinking. Also, machine learning models will be trained on market data and find these "spurious" patterns

I briefly worked in a leading Biology lab as an undergrad - and this sort of work came up. Genetic modification considered alone is not scary. Gene drives designed for sterilization on the other hand - are. I was given a long explanation ab

As a twenty-something who grew up in Texas but has spent my adult life learning and working in the UK - I really disagree with calling any large cultural ideas as "US imports". The perception from the UK is that the US is much mor
