I've found that I perform way better when I eat well. So that has allowed me to eat more grass-fed meat. I think it's easily possible to do it in a ecologically conscious way if it was something anybody cared about. But they care

I personally don't believe in anthropocentric climate change, so greenhouse emissions aren't a big deal for me--we've been warming for 10000 years and we're still -2C, and the temperature is always correlated with C02.

The epistemal value of epidemiological studies is very low. Nothing can be done to fix it.

Animal farming simply doesn't have to be so destructive. There's a simple solution to a simple problem. Look at New Zeland, regenerative agriculture. By allowing cattle to eat grass instead of grain (ha) we can avoid using pestici

I think it's related to diet, a deficiency in Vitamin D probably indicates a certain type of diet that leads to obesity. I wonder if metabolic syndrome and vitamin D deficiency are also comorbid. You need fat to absorb vitamin D and pe

I used to get severely depressed, and it was often stress-related; adversity, work, even sickness would make things worse. I completely changed my lifestyle and started working out almost 3 hours a day (walking counts)in addition to removin

To me this is a bit absurd--if we're trying to replicate paper, maybe using a tree would be best? You can put the ink in the pen. I guess the advantage is you can save many documents--but this is actually a disadvantage to me as I lik

That's the one. The nasal rinse stuff comes from studies I've read years ago, if you want I can dig them up. Sorry, this last little week has been pretty crazy, no time to check back here.

I've noticed that if I am very careful people will often skip authentication steps and even just ignore them if they're lazy. In my opinion we need to value these positions more. Higher salaries for these positions and more prereq

I mean, it's trained on the Internet. It kind of makes sense that the epistemological value of GPT-3's statements are essentially zero. It may even contradict itself in ways the Internet never could.

You're right, I should mention not to use fresh water, though many people do use fresh water in India without problems. This product I've pointed out is pre-mixed ocean water, it comes with the water, not just the salt packet. It&

Yeah, definitely use salt water. I will mention that in the main post. You can get a product like the following which has a water preparation which should be safe: https://www.hydrasense.com/

Not really fatal, there are many products you can use that don't require a full rinse. Have a source for that? I can't find anything. It's important not to do it too frequently, but certainly more than 1 billion people do it

It wasn't a viral email--it was a one hour podcast on Youtube. I can post a link if you'd like.

I'm not a reductionist so I don't conflate the weather and climate, but I'd consider hurricanes, volcanoes, tropical storms, and fluid flows in the ocean to be part of climate, not weather. Hurricanes have a huge impact on an

To summarize. The existing models just scratch the surface.

>If you go look at the climate science literature, you'll find that all different kinds of models and explanations have been proposed and studied. Those alternatives have been looked at in detail by people in the field, just like an

Fair enough, I don't think it's a good way to convince people to simply claim your excellence however. I'm not interested in arguments from authority. If there's a big spat in a scientific field, usually you get this dis

Well evolution is really not entirely certain so it's important to take that point of view scientifically just in-case we've made a mistake. Of course it's obviously true but who knows, I'm sure humanity has said that be

by solinent 6y ago
No, I don't, but you've missed the point. It's not the people who program the models who are at risk, just the one who command armies of masters students to do the trick for them and who can't do it anymore, who also tak

Have you verified the other experts who are part of this "consensus" everyone always talks about but never measures? I would guarantee they're connected directly to the journalism / media industry, in fact it's blat

Yes, it's my opinion, and I've presented it as such, but it's entirely based on his point of view. I think the opinions of non-experts are very valuable due to the effects of group-think. The basis for my claim I could lay d

If you're interested in a healthy dose of climate change skepticism, there's also Richard Lindzen, but he's also derided by the climatologist community. I've found the most intelligent of the entire community is skeptica

Over-abstraction usually increases entropy, so your code size is bigger.

by solinent 6y ago
I think the biggest value of refactoring is reducing code size, which is directly correlated with bug count / severity (there are tons of studies here). Ultimately you're providing a huge value to your clients. If your code stinks

Bill Gates is not an expert. I think I would listen to an infectious diseases professor sooner. edit: I'm an idiot, I should have read the post, I thought this was about something else Bill Gates had said. Still, my point stands, thoug

Maybe the mechanism of death is similar so if it kills a more difficult strain the same mechanism will kill the "easier strain". It doesn't directly state it though, I think it's just speculation. It doesn't belong
