I will never understand at which point it became preferable to post an editorial written by a random journalist, which doesn't even link at all to the actual research paper. It's a proven way to propagate misrepresented science. (

This is correct and normal, your aerobic base needs to increase to a decent level, before you can undertake regular exercise and reap its benefits. And it is a painful process, but not a very long one. Six months is perhaps unusual, but it

Your reasoning is correct. Depression is an umbrella term, which covers a range of disorders with different neurocognitive aetiologies. This is the reason why patients will respond to pharmacological interventions with distinct mechanisms o

you're supposed to learn the mechanics of vim and then configure it in a way which you find intuitive. i find that much more natural than software which tries to anticipate (and indirectly reinforce) some arbitrary "common sense&q

if the origin link isn't working, that means it was taken offline by the original source. in that case, imo it's a good thing that at least the image was archived on their servers. especially since each one has a comments section

that only happens when the image was manually uploaded by a user (i.e from gallery). there's not much they can do about it. in that case you can scan it to find visual matches and hopefully one of them has metadata about the original s

google search is worthless now, not just for images. i only ever use it with the `site:` setting or the research subsomain (these are rhe only ones that seem to have retained a functional version of google's algorithm). i use pinterest

this is not true? every single pin has a big button underneath which takes you to the original webpage where it was saved from. and if it was manually uploaded by the user and lacks this kind of metadata, you can scan it visually and it sho

It's actually one of my favourite apps, after using it for years. I'm not even joking. Their feed is incredibly good.

I was never sure where all the hate is coming from. Pinterest is actually one of my favourite apps, that I use regularly – and I use very few apps. I actually really love it and after years I still find new uses for it. As far as I can tell

Exactly. If you are bothered by the type of things mentioned by OP, then you are not in the target market for that product. And also, you are probably capable of building your own, custom setup. So simply don't buy the product. This ac

In normal interactions, the expectation is that you are being exposed only to your conversation partner, which you’ve consented to. In online interactions, you’re increasingly being exposed to arbitrary, hidden parties, with the computing

You seem to be making the same flawed assumption that the vast majority of british population does. The EU is not, and has never been, a project primarily driven by economic interests. It is a socio-political union, predicated on the fundam

I've read science fiction literature which had more substance than this kind of reasoning. When the argument approaches "on a long enough time scale there is no limit to progress, so anything is theoretically possible,", then

An analogy is only useful if it is meaningful. IBM's Deep Blue had a fundamentally different design than LLMs. "AI" is just a broad, abstract category that they both happen to share. The other day I heard someone argue that b

Tangential, but why is richard branson featured so much in this? (The one sentence OpenGraph link description also mentions him). Why promote some random billionaire opinion? It’s like they’re trying to inculcate the idea that somehow wealt

I’m not sure how to put this gently, but if you think computer chess is the same thing as LLMs, you’re not qualified to have an opinion on the future of technology.

Capitalism predates consumerism by 4 centuries. The interest capitalism eventually took in the development of consumerism was mainly due to industrial surplus after the world wars. At that point, politicians were already looking into consum
