My understanding is a lot of the probability puzzles in Allen Downey's Probably Overthinking It [1] also boil down to similar selection effects (the inspection paradox is definitely in there). There is a lot of cool stuff in that boo

I have also found that LLMs do not help me communicate my ideas in any way because the bottleneck is getting the ideas out of my head and into the prompt in the first place, but I will disagree with the idea that the output beyond the promp

Not OP, but as a native English speaker and former scientist (though not in this area), I would interpret "x does y on English tasks" to mean "we tested this in English and don't know if the effect generalizes to other l

The article does not really explain what it means for it to be "cheaper" to rent than to buy here. Do they mean mortgage payment + taxes is higher than rent? Or do they mean that mortgage payment + taxes - equity is higher than re

I used to get mosquito bites but I stopped getting them as an adult. I realized after a while that my skin stopped reacting to them even though the mosquitos were still biting me. I recently managed to coax one into biting me to test my hyp

I think the argument would be that formerly corrupt enforcement entities, or entities with no track record, would use a blockchain as proof of their commitment to impartial enforcement going forward. "We know you don't trust us, b

It's unclear from the article, but the author may mean "Why do people talk about microdosing for these benefits and not about walking in the park?" The author even mentions that microdosing is not common. Alternatively they m

No idea if what OP is doing is or isn't fair use, but fair use doesn't require the content creator's permission, and in fact if you have the content owner's permission you generally don't need to invoke fair use at

One thing that might be important to note about this: to the extent that pip is a client for PyPI, a strategy of freezing the last supported version of pip indefinitely may not work. It will presumably always be able to install Python 2 whe
