For example
kn pho/eutri
to enter photos/europe_trip. It doesn't track frecency or anything, just matches strings. My algorithm is also used in nushell's cd command.kn also supports multiple dots:
kn .. # enters parent
kn ... # enters grandparent
etc. println!("You meant to install ripgrep: type `cargo uninstall rg` followed by `cargo install ripgrep`");> If somebody is drinking beer, they are 21+.
We think:
> To drink beer, you must be 21+.
And if you formulate the other puzzles in the same way, they are much simpler:
> If a card has a circle on one side, it must have the yellow color on the other side.
Is this your impression too? (Actually, after writing this comment I realised I hadn't checked the red card... But I also hadn't checked the 17 yo lol.)
> Ivermectin tablets are approved [...] for some parasitic worms.
> Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.
(Unlike any other drug.)
> There’s a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin.
...while also...
> The FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19; however, some initial research is underway. Taking a drug for an unapproved use can be very dangerous. This is true of ivermectin, too.
> Ivermectin Products for Animals Are Different from Ivermectin Products for People
Scientific authority is an oxymoron.
The only unknown right now is the long term effect of ivermectin in patients with covid. It seems to me that it's the same unknown as with the vaccines. You don't have a clinical trial for effects of the vaccines after 5 years, do you? Why don't we wait for it, just to make sure? And it's even worse for the mRNA vaccines, which have not been around for decades and only got the emergency authorization.
Btw the emergency authorization can only be granted by the FDA if there are no alternatives. [2]
> For FDA to issue an EUA, there must be no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the candidate product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating the disease or condition.
I'm not sure if "approved" (as a treatment for covid) would have applied to Ivermectin at the time the EUA was granted but it's not like there were trials to decide that.

Bret (Eric's brother, biology PhD) had a 2h long conversation with Pierre Kory (MD) and it was taken down by YT. One of the things they talked was the recommendations of WHO and other organisations to focus on supportive care only (supporting the patient while their organism fights the disease by itself). They insist on not using other treatments outside clinical trials. The argument that running experiments would cost lives doesn't seem coherent. It's not like we have this 100+ yrs practice of dealing with SARS-CoV-2 epidemic with well established protocols. What if we're clinging to a suboptimal strategy?
> But, unlike previous work, their study also looked at the effect of the girl’s age. It found that “daughter-divorce” risk emerges only in a first-born girl’s teenage years (see chart). Before they reach the age of 12, daughters are no more linked to couples splitting up than sons are.
I'm in the process of gathering some friends and we plan to start a blog/newsletter, just for us. We're going to share our projects, achievements and cool stuff we enjoy. We've already had a small success - I connected two of my friends who study Psychology and Biomedical Engineering at different universities and together we're going to write an article about differences in brain structure and behavior.
On the other hand I think people against non-censored speech often frame the receivers of the message as somehow mindless. Now that I think about it, censoring people on social media (i.e. deplatforming Trump) implies that users have no free will (whatever that means) and can only act as an obedient crowd. From that perspective, everyone who might become a leader of the masses seems dangerous and requires intervention. Not only that, their followers are also potentially dangerous, just not powerful enough. To me such attitude is in contradiction with individual's freedom to express their views but also a denial of existence of freedom to act in accordance with one's views.
