Good points! The research and practical experience for many of these aspects is already there, though mostly only in the context of therapy, i.e. in cases where people already experience problems to a degree that it negatively affects their

Absolutely, I myself am obviously procrastinating right now, I know it doesn't exactly help me achieve my goals for today, yet here I am, replying to you instead of doing the work I should :) The problem I see is that there is no insti

I had no intention to offend, sorry if I came across like that. But this is actually illustrative to the point at hand: Neither in my family nor in my whole social environment do I know a single religious person, yet most of those people fe

That's how humans think, we often can't fathom abstract ideas directly at all. Consider the idea of "time". We only think of time as movement in space, with either us moving or the time moving. I left that experience be

What you've written is indeed obvious, but IMO that wasn't the point of the article. Consider this quote: "Consider what happens when you’re thirsty and drink a glass of water. The water takes about 20 minutes to reach your b

France didn't really build new plants either, the existing plants are just as old as Germany's. The one big new project under construction, Flamanville, is already way over budget, more expensive than renewables - even before taki

Well, Nvidia invented CUDA, it's no surprise that they won't give up their competitive advantage by properly supporting OpenCL or SYCL. Edit: Also, SYCL should be supported by most things already supporting OpenCL, like Tensorfl
