As far as my extremely poor understanding of the law goes: this depends on where you live but generally you are not allowed to download a digital copy of a physical book you own, but you are allowed to create your own [1]. It may also be wo

This has been my search engine quality test for quite some time. A good search engine will show you pirate websites because they have a comprehensive index. A great search engine will put them at the top of the list ahead of the fake result

In my case it's mostly the shaking - trains are mostly fine, but buses are just too unstable. They also tend to be more crowded, meaning I need to tuck my elbows in and adopt an even-less-stable position which compounds the problem.

Since I'm assuming that Bret Devereaux [1] isn't here to raise the point, I'll do it instead: "ancient people" is a term that, as we colloquially understand it, tends to exclude most of the ancient people , namely,

I think you're being too generous to the idea that it could help without any evidence. If we assume that there's therapeutic value to bringing your problems out then a diary is a better tool. And if we believe that it's the

While I agree with most of your comment, I'd like to dispute the story about GPT-2. Yes, they did claim that they wouldn't release GPT-2 due to unforeseen risks, but... a. they did end up releasing it, b. they explicitly stated th

I'm unconvinced of 3/4 arguments against HMAC. "You cannot reverse it" sounds like the actual goal we were trying to reach and, similarly, "too slow for such a small input" seems like a self-solving problem. Is

Thinking about it as "utility" is a cornerstone of effective altruists, so you're not alone in wondering that. From that point of view, for the price of one package of flour in Germany I can buy two in Uganda and four in Syri
