Except there weren't really any mass harassment, rape and death threat, and firing campaigns being coordinated against ordinary people for not sufficiently mourning someone. Most of the "cancel culture" stuff was overblown no

They didn't claim that there were any, just that AGI isn’t a necessary requirement for an application to be world-changing.

This makes me want to build agents in Elixir now

Agents don't typically, and any LLM they're calling is likely hosted remotely.

That doesn't negate what OP was saying at all, the better support in Python isn't for "running ML/AI code" but in things like agent frameworks, observability tools, SDKs, etc. None of which directly run AI code but

Maybe I've aged out of it or something but the userbase has gotten so much more annoying (and was already annoying when I finally started using it around 2010) over the last several years, that I've almost entirely quit it. I used

Battle Royale was a novel before it was a movie, and it's a much better novel than movie.

No, doping is a specific set of techniques that use proteins (EPO) or specially extracted blood to boost the red blood cell count in the blood, increasing oxygen carrying capacity. Anything else is just marketing.

tbf I've never seen expiration dates on fresh produce in the US. Maybe some packaged salads and things (and it's never accurate, of course), but nothing fresh.

And of course, not just frequency of incoming action potentials, but processes within the receiving cell, in the cell membrane, at the site of the synapse, and between the cell and any supporting cells (astrocytes and glia). It's also

We don't really know much about how memories are formed, the short-term and long-term divisions come from cognitive psychology and we don't have (from what I remember from my neuro days, which may be out of date by now but I am fr

None of which are causal associations. Given the millennia-long history of cannabis use to self-medicate, and lack of evidence (not without trying!) for a biological mechanism of any of this, it’s probably safe to assume this is largely peo

This gives me heart. I like writing about technical things, but I also like writing about personal things, concerts I went to, whatever. I'm a whole person, and I never liked the pressure (mostly from social media) to build your "

I think it just depends on how you're able to access and use your notes. For me, backlinks were a life-saver because it's important to model relationships between individual notes. It's really helpful for synthesizing knowled

This is something that Obsidian, Tana, Roam, LogSeq, and a few others actually excel at. I try to keep my organization minimal or at least static, and backlinks (plus templates, or in Tana supertags) + good search (of all that I've use

Obsidian isn’t opinionated on the system you use, but it’s trivial to implement a zettelkasten system - I’ve been using a modified one (inspired by Andy Matuschak’s evergreen notes [1]) for several years now. [1] https://notes.an

That’s not true at all. The most interesting research into components of consciousness involve astrocytes, glia, and formerly assumed “helper cells” throughout the brain. It isn’t “all synapses.” Source: neuroscience MS (dropped out after d

Not OP, but old dentist made and sold these. It is a custom-fit mouthpiece that forces you to keep your lower jaw forward while you sleep, preventing airway collapse. It’s the same thing you’re taught to do for CPR to force the airway open.
