Can you explain in more detail the whole experience, along with how the effect was activated? Personal experience counts for something, since that's how we know everything else :)

The placebo effect itself is fairly spooky.

How does feeling Reiki establish it is real? What sort of objective effect did it have?

Do we have an accurate count of cases? For example if most cases are determined based on hospitalization, then the hospitalized death rate is the same as the estimated actual death rate. I haven't been able to find studies on the hospi

While I know it is common practice to dismiss problem solving questions, a good problem solution can be the difference between intractable NP complete or worse, and a solution that is O(lg N). Additionally, a good solution is elegant and e

While a global solution is NP complete since Morse code is not prefix free, there's probably a decent heuristic approach that maximizes matching of existing english words.

Is every commercial content platform free to censor the content however they want? Can Verizon censor the CNN and Fox News that is delivered by cable? Can my cell phone carrier censor whatever conversations I have that they don't lik

I disagree that all knowledge, or even the most important items of knoknowledge, are reducible to mathematics.

In the business world, there is no objective measure for the value of all things. I have to pay someone enough they'll do what I need them to do, but not too much that I cannot recoup expenses and keep the business running. What that

I feel like mathematicians should make the same effort for non mathematicians. Why do all these weird terms even matter to anyone else besides a self selected group of mathematicians? If they don't, why should anyone care about such

Just talking about tweaking simulation parameters here, since the original simulation parameters were supposedly meaningful.

by yters 7y ago
In the details, even though the simulation shows great inequality, it also shows that everyone gets a chance to be part of the 1% for a bit. Which is better: everyone is always mediocre, or everyone gets to be super rich for a bit and poor

Even so my point remains. Why do bacteria seem significantly less complex than humans, yet have an extremely greater rate of evolution?

Right the problem applies to compilation as well, which is why not all languages can be compiled. Compilation in general is undecidable.

Wow reading the comments sounds like actually a great human being. Help me realize being a jerk is an anti pattern, even though I am sometimes tempted to think otherwise.

Lets say we have a language where each function can return a string expression of itself. E.g. print.str() = "print". gen_exp() uses this function at least for some of its operation. Once we transpile the resulting expression wi

It's logically impossible if the joke is a godel sentence for that language!

by yters 7y ago
But then aren't you making the target version aware it has been transpiled? Once you go that route, then it becomes a back and forth of hacking around whatever trick used for that situation. I cannot think of a general fix that doesn&

Well, for that matter any Turing complete language can embed an interpreter/compiler for any other Turing complete language. If that's all that is meant by transpiling, it is no different than something like the JVM. My understan

Here's an example in Python. print_hello = gen_expression() eval(print_hello) The result of the program is "Hello", but the only way a transpiler would be able to reproduce this is by knowing the expression generated by &#x27

General transpilation is logically impossible.

C + knowing the Linux API and what is done in kernel vs user space can lead to very efficient Linux software. Since much consumer software these days is a webapp with a Linux backend, this sort of embedded optimization can make good consum

One thing that helps society unify is a shared media experience. Used to be oral poetry reading and plays. Then books. Then radio. Then TV. Now a massive milleu of various social platforms. I've dropped out of almost all of these,

My experience has been we have a big pile of complexity with some way of doing things. New shiny tech promises to eliminate this complexity. Perhaps it does, but also introduces new level of complexity. Old complexity hasn't fully v

My takeaway is that MS should double down on their office applications and make them absolutely spectacular.

To support your view your cite Draper's book, which proposes the conflict view of science and religion. Both Draper's book and the conflict view are discredited. I, on the other hand, refer to Stark's work, which is state of

I think people intuitively ascribe a moral dimension to whether people are involved in accidents, hence why they are more worried about dying on an airplane than in a car, even though the former is much less likely than the latter. If I die

I've been using a kmer approach, just a few lines in Python, and it's interesting comparing coronavirus to many different genomes. The neat thing about kmers is that it is alignment free, so can find similarities between genomes e
