It's always interesting to see these types of articles with a bunch of people pontificating about what was or wasn't happening at IBM. I started my career at IBM and had the chance to engage with the Boca Raton group and the PC di

Although I refer to this above, I do like your comment, and I would like to add the historical context for scientism. It was originally proposed by Hayek, who is one of the fundamental pillars of Austrian economics economics. A school whi

I would like to confirm that I've been highly influenced by Tetlock, and I appreciate his work. It was an integral part of a strategy in a business group I was running. With that stated, if you can see beyond his vitriol, Nassim Taleb

I write this knowing that it is long, and probably written mainly for myself. However, I find that every once in a while, somebody PMs me and says, "wow, that was great," which strokes my ego and makes me want to post. I hope that

Hinton's citations is 5x what Russell has. There's a good reason why he's won both the Turing and the Nobel Prize. He is just an incredible researcher. I would make the argument that sometimes when you're an incredibly

Ah, I'll write some stuff in a thread that nobody is going to read.... Survivorship issues are not intuitive. Let me try and give you a cooked case to make it more clear, but you'll actually think through the math and be willing

It turns out that the vast majority of the USA POPULATION, which I think we have some of the best data for, is magnesium deficient or 50%. The issue is basically vitamins are a catalyst, and is very difficult to justify putting more catalys

By the way I've been extremely interested in this for years. While I take more supplements than what anybody probably should take, I give almost everybody that will listen this exact advice-- With the exception of creatine. Creatine is

By the way, thanks for sharing. Super interesting and I love the personal vignette.

First, I am not trying to object to your point, but I do wanna point out this is a classical problem with the medicinal field. In that they show an outstanding inability to understand how to actually process data in light of survivorship bi

If you lean at all toward evolutionary biology, You tend to pay attention to the idea that earlier man had a diet which had a much higher ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6. I would add that vegetable oils probably are not the ideal solution just

It's strange to being using Hacker news as a nutrition advice, but this is something that I have been reading research on Pubmed for years. (Actually going back to the grateful med....). Approximately 50-60% of brain weight is made up

Because of the issues with rancidity, I strongly prefer Costco because they churn through the stuff like there is no tomorrow. Their supply chains seem to be pretty straightforward from OEM to internal warehouse to to clearance. Just make s

This really is a good use for Perplexity. I suggest a prompt along the lines of "what is the pubmed indications for what somebody should take for omega-3 or n3 pufa for X". This way your pull the primary research and you can hav

I highly recommend them as they test well for freshness, but if you aim to get around 2G of EPA/DHA, you'll need 8 capsules. To your point that's a lot of capsules if you don't like swallowing pills. Compare with prescr

Thanks for posting this. Seems like an incredibly sharp implementation by simply bundling it into an HTML page. Extremely lightweight and portable.

By the way it's always nice when somebody actually tries to double check somebody else's research especially when you hear numbers that seemingly just sound crazy. Maybe another factoid, GDP or GNP for all practical purposes wasn&

George Yancopoulos has a reputation for being unconventional (or perhaps outlandish to some). I would suggest that before he is taken seriously, Regeneron should publish a weight loss whitepaper explaining his position. At face value, it

Cool app. The biggest issue for me is the voice sounds very much like the typical system voice apps, when we are seeing such leaps and bounds in the voice quality. But your interface is simple and nice.

Chris Howard of Gartner posted his latest AI hype cycle to youtube. The link should take you directly to his overview chart. Of course, details of the chart is all pay for access. In many ways, I don't like how Gartner type terminolo

I looked quickly at your book, and it seems that it favors modern monetary theory (or MMT). MMT suggests that we can print money, but to keep inflation from spiraling out of control, we tax very strongly. This is simply one of many viewpo

This was the highlight of my day because the article was written by the head editor-in-chief of my college newspaper. (I was the opinion section editor.) I haven't seen her in 25 years, but thanks to you guys, I get to read a great ar

A thought on the ROI: You can buy a plot for $2-3 in some volume. It's 9 plots per TB, so this is 91 plots or so. Value = $180 to $270 approximately to purchase. Self creation is a fraction of this, and the plots needs to be served

I believe the term "Perverse incentive" applies here. I think many people have heard of the story of the British government trying to get rid of Cobras in Delhi, so they offered a reward for each Cobra tail. Enterprising people st

I am not going to defend the wealth of the ultra rich, however, I do think that it is important to call out that the headline is wrong. The increase in wealth of $280B is based on a time period of March 18 to April 10. On March 18th, the

I'm also looking forward to this study. Kudos to U of M to get this kicked off quickly. I find it interesting to see how fast they were able to marshal a response. Basically, we go from nothing to something started in 10 days. I&#x
