There's a nice discussion of this in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Learning to use a REPL. It's been at the core of my coding practice since. Especially using it as a debugger in an interpreted language was a game changer for me. It converts programming into a fast interactive game.
The first-generation iPhone was announced in January 2007. As of November 2018 more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold. The child suicide rate topped out when the cell phone market became saturated. Hardly proof but it would be interesting to see suicide statistics broken out by cell phone use.
conscious, kŏn′shəs, adjective -- Characterized by or having an awareness of one's environment and one's own existence, sensations, and thoughts. synonym: aware.
Self-attention seems to be at least a proxy for "awareness of ... one's own existence." If that closed loop is the thing that converts sensibility into sentience, then maybe it's the source of LLM's leverage too. Is this language comprehension algorithm a sort of consciousness algorithm?
This is a very frustrating app for me. It is one of the best document sources out there but has become unusable because it cannot retain my selection of documentation. Almost every other time I visit I have to start from scratch picking the stack I use. It's great but not great enough to keep doing that over and over and over ...
I don't have an issue with dropping cookies or local storage elsewhere. I'm on an updated linux chrome. Any ideas?
I agree with that paleo approach to diet, and your conclusions. In my case my gastroparesis prevents me from eating any significant amount of fiber and diabetes II from eating many carbs. Meat is what's left. I tolerate beef best so eat it the most.
I think that the ease of digestion and my health improvements are evidence that this is an eating pattern that we're well adapted to.
What I really want is an extension that will let me open a retweet by right clicking and opening it in new tab. That way I don't lose my scroll position and can get a collection of things I want to read. I went looking for such a thing but couldn't find it.
I did find Control Panel for Twitter though, which is a great improvement.
> The important factors with meat consumption are: 1) how they're prepared ('low and slow' is the best method of cooking, i.e., at a relatively low temperature and for a relatively long time in order to avoid creation of AGE's and trans-fats)
I daily eat beef that has been cooked by sous-vide at 155F for 48 hours and then crisp up in an air fryer at 400F for 20 minutes. Is this over doing it with regards to carcinogen production?
Fighting the media negativity bias, the local Russian newspaper City Reporter decided in 2014 to report only positive news for a day and lost two-thirds of its readers.
It's hard to blame a business for failing to commit financial suicide on principle. You can, but that's like blaming water for falling from the sky.
