No it's not; most of those people also reproduced. It's like Covid - think of the R number.

Sure, but some causes of infertility are correlated and persistent. If I'm exposed to poisons in the air or water, it's likely to happen to others as well - especially if it's at levels where it's not immediately noticed

That was meant to say 'misrepresenting' (the phone said 'misre...ing' since the complete word didn't fit on the screen.

(It's strange that we're using the term microdose, even in scientific contexts - prefixes have meanings - it should be called a decidose.) Anecdotally, I've had a degree of short term success treating my depression with small

I can assure you, my only concern here is inate fertility - (idiocracy aside) I don't give a shit about people deciding not to have children. As for the danger, population collapse is often precipitous - and by the time you notice it,

Where did I say that they were mentally ill? (Misremembering other people's arguments is a poor strategy in a technical forum.) And regardless of what transhumanism as a whole is about, it will always be about continuation of sapience

Grow a hollow in a vat and insert the brain? It'd be prohibitively expensive for most, but why not?

A disingenuously paraphrasing quote? Sure thing. But I'm not espousing my values, but values vital to the continuation of life. Values that have been around for thousands of millions of years. Perhaps there's the potential for thi

I really don't feel that's a fair comparison. The transgender community needs to stop pushing the notion that it's healthy and desirable; it's not - it's a devastating hormonal/fertility disorder. We can't

Honestly, this sort of thing is cool; but why (in general) is it necessary in the first place? If the elements of the song are recording in isolation - which they are in all studio versions, why can't we just move to a format that supp

(No idea if you'll ever see this, I also have no damned idea what I'm talking about.) Looking at the Weierstrass function, it's a chaotically convergent series with a non-convergent gradient series. (The standard differential

Hallucination in context means something rather different. Something like coming to accept some data-set local optima as a global truth and deriving beliefs without underlying basis.

Google, facebook, walled gardens in general, and the fact that ~100% of users neither know nor care how much better things could be.

But that's not generally what news anchors do - frequently they go in with a pre-established narrative; and whether or not they are agreeable or combative will depend upon that narrative. Joe pokes the bear with his genuine (yet curiou

One problem that I've had when bisecting is moving back in time towards code where resolved bugs still exist - masking the new bug. The solution that I found was fixing the bug at the commit that created it, squashing, and then rebasin

I found the colours here to be a little bit muted - since you're using Oklab [0], it would be quite nice to make the saturation level user defined. I was messing around with something similar (before I found out about Oklab), that gene

Perhaps I'm wrong, but judging by the wibbly-wobbly walls, this is well behind the state of the art when it comes to the preservation of spatial invariants. By comparison a lot of the more recent demos are not only capable of polyfram
