In Lakatosian terms, the amyloid hypothesis is an example of a degenerating research program that has largely failed to predict new observations and is primarily driven by post hoc reasoning. The hypothesis was rescued by research claiming

My CEO did a deep dive into AI prototyping and eventually ran into a wall with data architecture and deployment. Fortunately, he realized very quickly that having human designed core infrastructure is what enables vibe coding that doesn&#x2

The fact that you aren't persuaded is the evidence of collapse. Previous generations of LLMs persuaded everyone of anything.

I'm a non-Conformist is the historic sense. In the past decades, American Christianity has devolved into a smorgasbord of personality cults and group therapy that effectively suppresses the freedoms that many Christians fought for at t

Computational biologist with a focus on predicting individual human health at a startup, but I have ended up managing software engineers. (Scientist explore and engineers make the science work in production.)

The mind-body link is too important to get the causality wrong and The Body Keeps Score is an ideology where the causality only goes one way. I have a cousin that had frequent, overwhelming anxiety attacks. She started eating breakfast cons

Billions of cell derived from Henrietta Lacks agree with you.

I think you are getting at the need for tiered layers of abstraction and constraint. Simultaneously considering all possible ways to solve a problem doesn't work for humans or the LLMs derived from our use of language. The repeated use

Available data makes causality hard to get right. This paper is trying to get around known constraints with observational data (e.g., some people stop drinking when they start having noticeable problems). Mendelian randomization tries to in

The language around emotion often obscures the underlying reality that needs to be addressed. Emotions are the physiological manifestations of expectations and desires. (Emotion is etymologically related to motive.) The person your respondi

True, in traditional corporate structures. I'm interested in how accountability flows in cooperative structures like Mondragon. (Accountability still flows down through those at the top, as far as I can tell, but there is an aspect of

I bought a TENS 7000, which is #1 in Amazon's "Muscle Stimulators & Accessories" category. Mine came with a 9V battery. The specific "tens ear clips" that I purchased are no longer on Amazon, but similar ones ar

I forgot to mention that the entire setup is about $60 on Amazon, so, for the HN audience, the biggest factor to trying it will be your time and/or intellectual aversion to non-mainstream medicine :-).

I use a TENS unit with an almost identical setup to the paper (ear clip is the same, duration is the same, frequency is 30hz instead of 25hz). My use of vagus stimulation is for managing anxiety and promoting digestion / gut motility.

I think the best way to actively read is to write down your own thoughts as commentary.

That's an interesting interpretation but a quick search didn't turn up the first version of that until 1861, so it seem rather late to have influenced EO iconography. Perhaps you are familiar with earlier examples of that interpre

There is an interesting example of random selection of leadership from the Bible when the apostles replaced Judas. The criteria were agreed upon and then lots drawn. Acts 1:21-26 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have b

To me, the non-local focus of EA/rationalism is, at least partially, a consequence of their historically unusual epistemology. In college, I became a scale-dependent realist, which is to say, that I'm most confident of theories &#
