331c8c71··on Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence
If your employer gets you a nvda card or openai subscription, it doesn't automatically mean you are getting richer, agreed?

And the richness of life it's another philosophical discussion altogether...

331c8c71··on Prozac 'no better than placebo' for treating children with depression, experts
Yoir choice between the red pill, the blue pill or no pill is pretty obvious but this choice is highly subjective.

Also pfizergate featuring von der leyen.
331c8c71··on Prozac 'no better than placebo' for treating children with depression, experts
I'm with you on this. People who pathologize themselves or others - assuming they're malfunctioning rather than acknowledging they might simply be living a life that doesn't fit - have a very limited way of looking at things.
331c8c71··on Why top firms fire good workers

Laughing out loud)))

331c8c71··on Writing your own BEAM
How is it unstable? It's one of the most reliable pieces of software I have used honestly.

In any case 'nix-shell -p erlang|elixir' does not seem too complicated to me.

331c8c71··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Well Nix is the only sane way I know to manage fully reproducible envs that incorporate programs/scripts spanning multiple ecosystems. Very common situation in applied data analysis.
331c8c71··on Criticisms of “The Body Keeps the Score”
Yeah I think there's no point denying that we humans need and are affected by narratives. At least on the psychological level, which, in turn, may have impact on the body as well.
331c8c71··on Testosterone Administration Induces a Red Shift in Democrats
Moreover, the republicans are reported as having lower T on average but the difference is not statistically significant.

It looks weird to me they don't report how age behaves across groups and don't correct for age in baseline comparisons.

331c8c71··on The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2025
What's quintessential quant finance? Black-Scholes and no-arbitrage pricing. Don't you agree it's much more of a tool than a theory of how the world works.
331c8c71··on The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2025
Excuse me? Quant finance doesn't claim to be devising grand theories about how the world operates (is more akin to engineering). And when it does, any delineation from economics is moot.
331c8c71··on The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2025
Modelling isn't the higher intellectual pursuit it's made out to be. Imo designing theoretical models post-hoc to "support" a desired conclusion is not unheard of in econ/finance.
331c8c71··on The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2025
Imo the economics profession very much suffers from inferiority complex known as "physics envy".
331c8c71··on Canadian bill would strip internet access from 'specified persons', no warrant
'Course it's hypocritical. What is quickly condemned as "bad" in a foreign context is often not held to the same standard when it appears within Europe.
331c8c71··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
I bet the better off do gamble on the financial markets though
331c8c71··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
In a similar vein, many people close to gamblers suffer serious consequences from the addiction.
331c8c71··on SimpleFold: Folding proteins is simpler than you think
It is for structure prediction, not folding (rolleyes).
331c8c71··on Britain to introduce compulsory digital ID for workers
Cheap scare tactics
331c8c71··on How older parents divorce affects their adult children
I would assume ones's parents divorce would be much easier to come to terms with for someone in their 40s compared to 20s, teens or kids (that doesn't mean it wouldn't suck).
331c8c71··on AI is different
> Have you ever stopped to consider why class mobility is much much less common in Europe than in the USA?

My understanding is that your info is seriously out of date. It might have been the case in the distant past but not the case anymore.

331c8c71··on Is being bilingual good for your brain?
> then learning a _second_ language

Strange way to phrase it. Lots of people know more than one language already.

331c8c71··on AlphaGenome: AI for better understanding the genome
Arc have just released a perturbation model btw. If it reliably beats linear benchmarks as claimed it is a big step

331c8c71··on AlphaGenome: AI for better understanding the genome
This one seems like well done research but in no way revolutionary. People have been doing similar stuff for a while...
331c8c71··on Getting Past Procrastination
> It’s simply too hard to keep someone else happy all the time

It's definitely going to be too hard as it is imo simply not possible and is a non-goal for a marriage.

331c8c71··on A Lean companion to Analysis I
Does anyone know a good starting point to try Lean for Linear Algebra?
331c8c71··on I'm starting a social club to solve the male loneliness epidemic
It's a subtle matter. Seeking acceptance and validation subconsciously and being willing to conform to get those is probably a much more common pattern compared to a conscious desire to compromise and to conform.
331c8c71··on Baby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment
Immortality? (rolleyes)
331c8c71··on June Huh dropped out to become a poet, now he’s won a Fields Medal (2022)
> Universities should be looking at more and discouraging 1 dimensional applicants

Sure. Like there is a whole field of consultants who would help your child to develop a suitable profile.

Moreover, I the US I heard there is an industry for generating experiences for the "young minds" (if their parents are rich enough) e.g. discovering rennaissance via a trip to Italy etc.

Also remember the tennis scam for admissions? Gordon Ernst from Georgetown U.

331c8c71··on 100 Years to Solve an Integral (2020)
Wolfram engine was taking integrals just fine way before LLMs were even a thing.
331c8c71··on There are two types of dishwasher people
You're American right?;)
