I'm a caffeine/coffee consumer because I like its effects, and the claims to overall physiological benefits appear solid, but why do you think multiple and varied spiritual schools choose to forgo it, especially in coffee form?

It feels quite trippy and delirious and somewhat physically pleasurable and if you have enough you teleport into another dimension

Interesting and promising seeming strategy to counter not only issues of 'peer pressure to own a device' but 'culture pressure' wherein assumedly for many schools most of the topics of humor and interest are quite online

Seems like one of the benefits you get with a state is to regulate powerful technologies. Is this not commonly agreed upon?

Yes that’s correct. Probably a better way of articulating what I meant to say is that unlike adding more battery mass which gives you diminishing returns as that additional weight must be carried too, improvements in energy density give you

by microjim 3y ago
Cool! What didn’t occur to me until I learnt it was that you get a multiplicative benefit with energy density when weight is a major factor (air transport, especially) because you need to spend less energy accelerating mass used by the batt

Do hands release from the line they're on at the point of the next time increment being reached (meaning, by the time they hit the next line, they'll be late) or does it kindly release earlier, affording time for the hand to trave

This implies there is something about """you""" that is inherently lacking rather than the habits currently in your brain and "more discipline" often means """if only I would castigate

There's a body chemistry component here. Are you possibly mouth breathing while you sleep?

This comment is so confidently ignorant of rhythm and melody, lol Pay attention to the counterpoint (one voice rising, one voice falling) when one big triangle ends and the one above/below it starts. Music is harmony, melody, rhythm, a

Maybe so, but the author says ‘The updated ChatGPT answers to the Political Spectrum Quiz are exquisitely neutral, consistently striving to provide a steel man argument for both sides of an issue‘ which suggests more than just a positional

I agree with you principally, and generally, but in rather small domains like this I would imagine symptom management using negative examples (i.e. training pairs where the response is a refusal to answer) and adding more explicit statement

Would love to hear from domain experts here. Reading the article one finds that they only created very small cathodes rather than anything close to a 'consumer sized' battery. (The full text of the paper is available for free at

This sounds great, but isn't this - > hopefully keep them at bay as much as possible ...wishful thinking, or symptom management, rather than cutting at the root of the issue (less than rational thinking)? Would be happy to be correc

More accurately - Callbacks are anonymous functions [or references to named functions] that you pass to asynchronous [or synchronous] functions so you can work with the produced values [or do anything else]

I agree that solid epistemology has better specificity and sensitivity for what's true, and that's the idea with independent fact-checker institutions, but it appears none have managed to gain or retain widespread trust. An approx

‘Horrible’ epistemology is a bit harsh (signal = approximate measure rather than direct), but this is indeed a valid loophole. Would be interesting to explore if third or fourth groups that do not benefit from the mutually agreed lie could

Often localised ID or reference books can become like bibles. Consult your local mycologists or fungi enthusiast groups!

Well, that depends. You certainly want to ensure the availability of the information under your remit isn't compromised by a threat actor, but reducing your attack surface by, say, shutting down external internet access is certainly a

Some people like the challenge of fixing dysfunctional teams like this. It’s the core difference between ‘leadership’ and ‘managing’. If that’s something that interests you, check out stuff like David Marquet’s book, but from personal exper

The mind causes itself unnecessary suffering. There is a way out of this suffering. The way out is by investigating and comprehending your experience. That’s the gist of it. Edit: you asked for personal experience: Sitting on a cushion: cal
