It’s not grain or corn you could eat though. Not fit for human consumption.

It’s the biggest tell for AI writing, especially as people get more self-conscious about overusing em dashes.

These are the types of assumptions and blindspots that lead to unintended negative effects. Your approach assumes that the distribution of those SNPs at the population level is imm…

I’ll let them go first. I insist. We can barely manipulate simple organisms without causing negative second order effects to cascade through our systems.

I suggest you go to random.org and play with the coin flipper or dice roller for a couple of hours. [edit] I just rolled 60 dice and got a string of 7 2’s in a row. Can someone cal…

Also, over half the world's population has H. Pylori, which interferes with B12 absorption.

Humans creating problems they then need to then solve transcends and predates any ideology. Capitalism just lets you scale it out to new heights! :)

The transfer of wealth from the UK to the US as a result of WW1 and WW2 debts is one of the more substantial wealth transfers in history.

These resonated with me as the world's AI-automating all the things. Particularly: "Digital devices tune out small errors while creating opportunities for large errors."

Use the pen that comes with it, magnet side facing the screen and sweep across the areas that are misaligned or the whole screen. This fixes things for me.

Agreed. Messy overlap + an app called HazeOver where you can dim apps out of focus is the best approach to this.

If you are desperate for a job you probably shouldn't be negotiating too hard. If your downside is protected and you've got options, you're a fool if you're not negotiating.

It's nice to interact with people who are strangers. Grocery store employees, baristas, mechanics, service people etc. As you get older, a lot of the people you interact with regul…

It would be a sad day for ballistics if you needed 3.7 GBs of data per day to guide a missile.

It's so common that I've had it happen on a flight. We were midway over the Atlantic, so we made it to the destination. It sounded like getting the replacement part is a pain thoug…

Wind-based energy tends to be par or worse than fossil fuels in terms of energy return on investment. Photovoltaics are more grim depending on whose numbers you pull. Right now nuc…

Growth is fueled by energy. If we're not exponentially growing it's because energy is a limiting factor for some reason. I find the table in the middle of this page illuminating: h…

"Such large structures should not exist according to one of the guiding principles of astronomy, called the cosmological principle. This states that all matter is spread smoothly a…

When you work in a temple, you can’t just skip the customary prayer and blessing before the meal.

Mathematica is probably one of the biggest and most complex commercially available applications that still has an artisanal/craftsman made quality about it. It’s something special.…

Most companies approach this in two ways: 1. Say nothing until day of. 2. Say someone somewhere at some point or by some date. For the employees, neither solves the problem of unce…

Africa as a whole is going to be more and more important to world in the years ahead. It's a continent of 1.2 billion whose constituent countries have been aligned to the US and US…
