I still stand by my claim that the most common cause of death is chronic iron poisoning, and living past 100 was a regular occurence in the bronze age. The best explanation again seems that all the modern nutrition is nonsense fed by some d

That's what I thought too, but the difference is big. You'd think you maybe lose some color lights, or very bright flowers, but no, colors outside sRGB are common. There was nothing you could do about the TV, the screen couldn&#x2

I never realized how limited sRGB is. I guess this is why people liked CRT TVs, and why you could never watch analog TV properly on a PC screen.

Let's add an example to illustrate the difference: Let's say that there is a correlation between the number of flights between London and New York, and the prices of sulfur. The correlation is near perfect. When your neocortex is

How about the delayed electrification in Britain? It seems that elswhere it began in the late 1870s, but there was no major electrification in Britain before the 20th century. I thought maybe it was also because of some patent obstruction?

I've been posting it repeatedly, but my posts are getting downvoted, and flagged (hidden). It apears it only goes to back to the 19th century, and may be connected with the case of Phineas Gage, who miraculously survived massive brain

You need to understand that the power structure of the western society critically depends on the myth of the recent cognitive shift. Where people were little more than animals, until several thousand years ago, when modern thinking suddenly

There is no such a thing as the Overton window. It's a made up term created by insane people who can't perceive reality, and don't understand that valid opinions are restricted by it. So they didn't understand why some i

I think that the incomprehensible part might be the levels of cooperation and trust to make it possible.

No, I'm not. Explain it. If iron is healthy, and heavy metals are, indeed toxic, why did we end up with a crowd of hare brained idiots, and not super geniuses who built a moon city? reply to below: It doesn't have to be space, tha

It seems involves some kind of metabolic disturbance, is there any explanation for this? https://academic.oup.com/metallomics/article/9/8/1106/601364...

This is misleading. A rise or fall in one kind disease doesn't mean anything out of context. Most people die of something so a fall in one disease may just as well mean that people die from something else instead. In this case, the d

It isn't toxic, and that's an advantage that overrides any extra costs.

I don't fear people using AI for evil. The destruction comes from something far more benign. These coders won't really be able to code, and they won't teach anybody else to code. Skills will be lost. Once something breaks, no

Cars only fully replaced horses after WW2, so they were the first universally exposed generation, if anything.

He was the guy who started it all. He came up with this concept of "Judeo-Christian values", as the opposition to traditional values that he deemed fascist.

Of course it is learned, and fear is triggered by anything unfamiliar, that causes a high reconstruction error. Because it means you don't understand it, and it could be dangerous. We are just not used to encoding anything so deep belo

There is just no reason to believe that we are born with some insanely big library of knowledge, and it sounds completely impossible. How would it be stored, and how would we even evolve it? It just isn't needed. Just like you can find

I think that detective isn't the correct way to exploit copycat. A character which cooperates, but cheats at random, and keeps defecting if you retaliate, could push the balance towards cooperators. Grudgers, not forgivers, also win

I admire your bravery, but, do you understand that you risk losing everything in much of the western world for posting such heretical thoughts?

I don't get the point. A simple CNN with stride =1 should be able to solve it perfectly and generalize it to any size.

I believe that this comes from the exact opposite of what the author does. People like this can discard the irrelevant details, and find what can be put together to create a clear picture.

The gibberish it produces shows that something quite different is being encoded. It completely fails with Spanish. There is no reason why it would, if it used phonemes. They think that the footnote explains the poor accuracy, but that is in

I don't believe that phonemes are real. They are a product of centuries long literacy, and the stereotypically "foreign" accent results from people being taught to construct the words from phonemes. Not all languages can be n

Why wouldn't they accumulate by natural processes exactly the same? When you look at the ice cores, the "emissions" were higher just before the last glacial maximum. The only reason why the metals weren't there 5000 year
