I suggest we support the, already in use, name of America for the whole continent, so, almost for free, USA means all north and south America countries together and we are done with land. Now the oceans are tricky: Atlantic can become East

Human needs are tricky. We usually hold basic needs as luxuries. Time and health are basic needs while luxuries should be some unneeded details, like a larger car or home. The most basic human need is oxygen, but I think this falls under he

My dog knows my complete mood complex instantly every time I show up. It's a social/emotional intelligence unmatched by human. Unfortunatelly, or hopefuly for the human race, he cannot combine this ability with enough cognitive in

After 50 years since I was born for the first I didnt eat grapes from my backyard in Southern Europe because they dried up due to extreme heat. In the rest of my life I might miss any other fruit.

Please add to the title "... and all other degoogled devices", which are many orders of magnitude more than GOS: almost all Huawei devices (degoogled out of the box), custom Roms, rooted and all non-logged in. I am a non-GOS hurt

The globe couldnt afford a couple of massive energy consumers (USA and Europe) let alone three more (China, India and Africa). Even if Renewables or EVs reach a pesky 30% in limited areas, CO2 levels will not care. Total climate change is a

The guideline "The benefit must outweigh the harm" is more relevant for aD drugs than anything else in medicine. The problem is that it's difficult to estimate the risk for such relatively rare but debilitating side effect. W

All cases are possible with S{S|N}RIs (I am a doctor but I know a little regexp). Patients that took them for two months and never needed again and others that cannot stop them after 20y. The start, the stop and every restart of the drug ne

I am also in a convenient place expecting more heat (mountainous region with cold nights/winters, enough water). I admit I enjoy the warmer months and wait for people come visit me for Coolidays.

The whole ELIx implies that an advanced narrator has to simplify things for another adult. Why not just call it a simplified ELI-at-my-age?

Simple, many-times-repeated fact: smartness -> high expectations but low yield -> disappointment. The imbalance between expected and returned may or not be the person's responsibility. Every smart person should invest time to lea

The cell is a factory. You can have deep dive with the book Molecular Biology of the Cell, although it's used in university. It's the SICP of biology. The latter was published in 1985 the former in 1983. I read it in 1995 and it&#

Yes, but removing plastic from a huge concentrate in the middle of the pacific sounds much nicer in the media than removing trash from distant beaches that noone visits. And environent protection depends a lot on how it is presented to the

I used to demand the same but a word can have multiple meanings depending on the context, eg OpenMind means something specific. Open{$IT-term} does not necessarily mean Open Source {$IT-term} and OpenAI might mean an AI available to all peo

I am also up in the mountains. I confirm it's the warmest summer for four consecutive times. Something happened in 2023. We may call it a tipping point. Although I enjoy milder winters (goodbye skiing), the summers are not mild anymore

Working memory is literally the L1 cache of the brain, which holds a mere 3-7 objects. The article seems to conflate w-m with regular memory, which is what a human knows at a specific time. Computers, especially now with LLMs, have everythi
