I read this, and I'm shocked at the number of people who seem to make it through life with no adverse experiences. And I also note how by almost every measure, there is a similar ratio of people with adverse experiences who are found a

There's something odd about the way the arms move, like they are two distinct entities cooperating rather than being part of one coordinated mind. Maybe this is an example of the uncanny valley, or maybe it's because they are two

I live in Thailand, and I've never had Dengue. I'm thinking about traveling to Bangkok for a Qdenga shot. Even though ADE doesn't seem to be a concern, I have gotten quite paranoid about any injections that trigger the immune

> Research has been done, and has shown herbal medicines to not work Plenty of herbal medicines are effective. Which is why we need research to understand which ones are, and which ones are bullshit.

The thing that bothers me is that we've had these things for so long, but no one does any actual research about them, so we still can't say that we know they don't work, but only that we don't know that they work. And &q

I'm confused. The conclusion seems to say that while participants were scrolling horizontally, their eyes moved less vertically... duh?! And that the effect was more significant if they had cycled before? Ok, so?! Seems like an absolut

I suppose this method has its limits, but it is interesting to study ways that anger can be eliminated. I wonder if there are techniques for illuminating anger due to significantly injurious behavior.

I've seen hundreds of these sites giving "unbiased" news summaries with AI. I've made several attempts at doing this myself. I'd be more interested in learning which techniques worked well for building something lik

I'm working on a rebuild of an existing app. The existing app works great, but hasn't changed for like 5 years so management thinks it's "outdated". They paid a design firm to make a "modern" design, but i

I'd be happy to pay for an AI search engine that isn't controlled by advertisers. That's why I pay for Kagi. No way in hell that I'm going to pay a company with an advertising-driven business model, no matter how fancy

For this to really be practical, it needs to be a small, silent drone. Unless Apple is only planning to sell it to people who live in large, single level homes.

On the contrary, if the software wasn't open source, there would be no chance of a back door like this being spotted.

Yep, where I live (rent) a 3m wave would fill my house with 1m of water. Even if it was one quick wave, that washed over without staying long enough to completely flood the inside of my house, I'd probably at least have to deal with a

I have no idea if you're correct or not, but that doesn't really indicate who was behind it other than suggesting that it might NOT be Chinese state actors because that would be way to obvious of a giveaway when investing multiple

I think most of these claims are BS, but I've met several people who have claimed to heal their own inflammatory diseases through non-medical practice to help regulate their vagus nerve. I know for me, these types of practices seem to

Based on my experience trying to get LLMs to write useful code, I don't think LLMs are the right tool to optimize a novel technical problem. The best they can really do is offer common, generic optimizations that might apply to similar

I'm in my late 30s, and physically healthy. Mentally, I can function better on low sleep than I could in my 20s. But two weeks ago, I had five nights in a row of 4 hours of sleep. By the end of the week, I ended up in the hospital with

It's not necessarily about IQ. I'm a US citizen (white, male, professional, no criminal record or questionable associations). For years, every time I would enter the US I would get detained and questioned by immigration officials.

You completely misunderstand LLMs if you think they ever were "reliable" in the first place. All it is, is a plausible text autocompleter.

It is a faulty assumption that IP geolocation is generally useful. It's often not, at all. The only context in which it might seem so is if you live on an English speaking continent. Otherwise, you're going to constantly misidenti

I couldn't find any example of him claiming anything related to fat accumulation in the brain. Could you link to an example or copy/paste a quote that you're referring to?
