Schmidhuber has written about recursive self-improvement since his diploma thesis in the 80s: "Evolutionary principles in self-referential learning, or on learning how to learn: The meta-meta-... hook". Your quote sounds like it c

I wish that people who say things like "learn to live with it" actually meant it. We do indeed need to learn from the past two years, and that will result in something quite different from pretending that we're still in 201

Zeynep has been wrong so many times during the pandemic that it hurts. She will not admit to it, though. She claimed that the Delta variant would end the pandemic, in the same way it is claimed for Omicron now. She's very naive about h

But that amount is based on available research, so what is your point? See e.g. https://www.jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/j.jacc.2017.07.710

https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2017.06.054 What do you make of studies such as this? Their baseline was strictly lifetime abstainers, absolutely no people who stopped drinking for medical reasons. Still,
