People are more lenient on farming because humans need agriculture to survive. Obviously not all agriculture is necessary for survival, but it's something that in some way provides real tangible benefits for everyone. On the other hand

Posting a claude chat is not actually helpful. The chat doesnt't even cite any sources. I think this post is a decent summary, the answer is a soft maybe: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/should-i-worry

In my experience with health data, the dates are usually offset by a random but constant amount for each person (e.g. id 12345 will have all their dates shifted by +5 weeks) to avoid identification by dates. Unfortunately the sequence of tr

Not really, you still have to validate the structures it estimates, which minimises any speed gains. It can help a little bit in the early stages of drug design, but even if it was perfect (which it's not), there's a massive gap b

I mean the difference is that you just take one in the morning? Which makes adherence easier, makes sure that the delay is constant rather than variable, and reduces abuse liability. (As an aside, there are more complex extended release mec

I'm pretty sure this take is incorrect on multiple accounts. Trans demographics tend to skew towards trans women by about a third, not trans men - at least in all the research I've come across. And regardless, increased acceptance

Why would ChatGPT replace google search when search also has AI? At best they'd steal some of Google's market share, which I'd imagine would decline with embedded ads.

Could you share a guide for how you did this? I've got a TCL TV, and it's constantly frustrating how it shows laggy ads.

There was a study where they tested the effects of ADHD meds on test performance and perceived performance. It found that stimulants increased perceived performance for everyone, but actual test scores were only improved for people with ADH

In countries with subsidised health care there's still an incentive to solve these problems, since the solution will lower healthcare costs.

I don't think it's any worse than any other form of media (like reading comments on hacker news instead of reading the article)

Calling trans men "distraught girls" is just pure transphobia.

Because they won't be forced to provide identification directly, they'll be forced to provide an age verification token that's linked to government identification. It's the same end result (a way to link your identity

Well to be fair, big pharma doesn't release preclinical results the same way that academia does. There might be no published work to support the hypothesis, but that doesn't mean they haven't done preclinical work.

They absolutely can be patented, look at what happened with esketamine. If these molecules work, pharma will just change them slightly (or reformulate) and sell them at a premium.

Using the term "hooked" to describe using a prescribed drug for a chronic condition is pretty moralistic. Are cystic fibrosis patients hooked on Trikafta? Are people with high blood pressure hooked on ace inhibitors? Or are they t

Do you mean 50 years without maintenance? I would be shocked if major bridges weren't designed to last indefinitely.

I feel like context is far more important than the actual answer. If you want to develop your skills, it's just as important to be aware of the things that aren't the answer, rather than just a single hyper-specific curated answer

Since it's a personal anecdote from a biased source, I'd say it's probably not reputable.

Season 1 is definitely the weakest season, especially at the start. There's definitely still wacky humour in the rest of the show, but it loses the family guy cutaway gags. I'd personally recommend giving season 2 a shot, if you s

It's essentially the thesis of the post. I will say the "exactly" part was a bit hyperbolic. He starts by stating that people say his surveys and Aella's Twitter polls (which he calls surveys) have selection bias, meanin
