There are some major qualifiers to this study: 1) The ages and BMI: > The median age was 45 years (IQR 37–54) and median BMI was 29·8 kg/m2 2) The diagnosis of long COVID-19 was done by survey — this has been shown to be an unreliab

The data by age show a consistent decline in attention: 34 to 55 year-olds were significantly lower than either 18 to 34 or 55+ This is interesting because it fits with none of the hypotheses and none is suggested. What could it be? To me i

They’re really pretty equivalent in that respect — the only difference here seems to be that you know more about alchemy.

It seems like a good example of recently learning a principle. Enough time and effort passed that they gained a working understanding of a noteworthy aspect but have yet to integrate it. Their presentation is on complex systems, but the aut

Yes, that’s the play on (or expansion of) definitions that he is making. The dictionary gives you a moment in time, but if a monopoly had a lifecycle, what is the earliest thing you can call a monopoly? Even at the earliest stage it technic

You’ve identified the difference between a monopoly and an enduring monopoly. A monopoly exists as soon as you invent (and sell) something new. But the moats enable the monopoly to have more longevity, which increases its anticipated value,

He seems to be going to lengths to construct apologetics for both sides. It makes for odd reading but maybe him having some success is a sign that the gap between US perspectives is closing?

I don’t follow the Rodin reasoning — was he actually critiqued for being too literal? I thought he was fairly unconventional when everyone else was literal. Maybe that’s what you’re referring to? His ‘fragmented’ style?

Claude 2 appears to be explicit about learning from input. Since my first point of comparison is GPT-4, and Claude 2 is asking for correction, it occurs to me that this could be an interesting strategy to close the gap — allow your users to

Call it 100 million college-educated Americans. I don’t think 100,000 people can formulate working quantum computing algorithms in ten seconds. It is probably closer to 0.001%, but those people probably can’t describe 13th century medical t

I’m trying to say something slightly more nuanced than compatible/incompatible, although with the “still” I guess I was reaching back into the past. It is the difference between social compatibility and value compatibility, I think. If

The education for most therapists (LCSW) is limited and generally tailored to popular mundane issues that can be solved via talking it through. They are also limited to the insight and interest of their own lived experience. If you have a r

Electrolysis cannot hit 100% efficiency. Maybe the approximate math can, if you only consider the first law of thermodynamics, but you’ll violate the second the moment it enters reality. Alkaline electrolysis maxes out at 66% theoretically.

Tell me how you get to 90% efficiency (or even 50%) in a system in practice going from not hydrogen (let’s say water, and you don’t even need to pressurize it or filter it for this example) to vehicular thrust. Hydrolysis maxes out at 65% e
