The problem isn't who we praise, it's who we don't praise. Maybe we live in a different world today but my sense is scientific innovation happens in a very different way from the genius model. Sometime long ago I came across

I wonder if you just asked 1000 people to draw a spiral without any other context, would there be some handedness/chirality to the drawings? My guess is there would be. https://briankoberlein.com/blog/gripping-hand

Yeah the author seems to be approaching their overall argument by first establishing that there's no primary source evidence from the time of castle building that the defense theory is true. He seems to be trying to establish that the

re: mutability you just have the standard be that the document being linked to is a sort of wrapper to the actual one. My guess is this is really what's going on with doi anyway. But you're correct that the mutability issue is sor

Journals, even prominent ones, change names for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. The meaningfulness issue can cut both ways. I think the real problem is the centralized vs federated vs distributed natur

tbh I'm not dyslexic and realized the spaces make it really difficult to know what the filename actually is. If you just take the second example, how would you know if the file was "this is my config.txt" versus "config.

Actually I'm shocked to read this because I have the opposite reaction. To each their own — you make a good point about the accuracy of their inventory information — but to me the Home Depot website is on of the worst websites I have e

Interesting, informative article that raises some good points. I've always been leery of holidays that celebrate, even if superficially, single individuals. If anything, this shows the danger of doing so. I'd prefer formally recog

I generally leave them be or take them outside. House centipedes are a different matter. Those are usually eliminated on sight. I do have as a general rule that anything univited into the house I can do with as I want as a boundary issue. S

I should edit this by saying I was confused: sucralose does seem to affect gut microflora, but only trehalose, as far as I know, has been linked to C diff. Still think it's worth keeping track of artificial sweeteners as they're n

FWIW, sucralose has also been linked to C diff infection. It's worth maybe pointing out that this study was based on sucralose, just because it seems this sweetener is worth tracking separately in general. I don't really consume t

I think (I would have to reread it more carefully) is Parisi's argument is that probabilistic models can sometimes be necessary even with deterministic systems that are well-characterized because the systems are extremely sensitive to

Not a disorder. Totally normal. This is why cognitive models distinguish between visual and verbal processing.

I agree with the parent that the cited "fact" is sort of questionable (along with some other things on the site even though I really enjoy it overall) because of ambiguity in definitions, assumptions, and so forth. However, the la

I had the same impression regarding breadth. There's local mustards all over the US, which I was expecting more of. I still enjoyed reading it but was expecting something a little different.

This is consistent with my own experiences with topic models, although I'm left wondering to what extent these observations generalize and why. I tried to find more details in previous posts about the models used etc but couldn't

Anecdotally in our area I've seen this, with high speed crashes in pedestrian areas (residential and small city streets) where the speeds were grossly inappropriate. In one case I recall the driver was sleep deprived; another was drag
