Another one can be iron, depending on your genes. There’s plenty of iron-rich vegetarian options, but heme iron in animal sources typically is absorbed at rates of ~40% while non-heme iron in plant sources is absorbed at 1-10% depending on

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. Especially the China argument is promising.

Based on what? At that price tag, I doubt it will be mass market, but perhaps I’m wrong.

JOSS is great, I’ve both published with and reviewed for them, and enjoyed it more than traditional journals. The process felt more constructive than destructive, in a sense. I believe they’re always looking for new volunteers to review pap

"Conflict" is maybe a strong word? Homebrew installs stuff into its own directory tree so it should in theory not have issues coexisting with native packages.

Very interesting link. I am now confused and intrigued that the trademark for "heroin" is listed as being revoked as part of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI.

IANAL either, but could this be a trademark issue? My understanding is that if you don’t defend your trademarks you risk legally losing them.

Not really. It's not peer reviewed, but it's also not a free-for-all repository. If you make a new account, you either have to get someone to vouch for you, or you have to wait arXiv mods to look carefully through your first few p

Do you have a source for that? My experience has been that people with ADHD are rather underrepresented , the ones who are overrepresented are rather hyper-extroverts that sometimes present similarly, but that do not have the same impulse

Taken literally, you’re claiming that only 80 people on Earth would notice. Maybe a tenth of that if we narrow down what is meant by «consumer». I assume you don’t really believe that?

Probably no, because according to quantum mechanics, photons are indistinguishable in a way that affects experiments.

I also don’t commit files by accident. Just don’t `git add *` as some people do, and check `git status` before committing, and then you’re good.

In the political sense, «Western Europe» is typically taken to be «NATO Europe», and «Eastern Europe» is «Warsaw Pact Europe». Which is different from a strict geographic definition.

by setopt 21d ago
That sounds somewhat applicable to many tools. Like Vim/Emacs, for example. Or computers and smart phones in general.

Seems legitimate to me. Did you find any technical error?

In some countries it is, to some extent. In Norway for example, it is illegal to broadcast ads for political parties, alcohol, tobacco, plus basically any ads specifically targeting children (though the last one is often violated).

More or less the same as social media but for agents, perhaps? When I want to book an airline ticket in the future, I expect my LLM agent to contact the airline LLM agent, and the two to discuss options and negotiate a deal on my behalf.

Not yet, as far as I know, but perhaps someone will find a way to do that in the future. We're talking about the next two decades here, a lot can happen in that time. DNA itself can be thought of as a language which describes proteins,

I disagree with this take. While LLMs themselves are currently unreliable, the work done in the math community on hooking up creative LLMs to reliable verifiers like Lean show that it’s possible to construct systems where the unreliability
