This might sound crude, but a man who becomes a physician (and especially a surgeon) gets his pick of the most attractive mates as well as a high social status for life. That's pre…

Social actions that lead to birth rate decline are a slippery slope that can be difficult to come back from without immigration. The economic conditions that have been forced on yo…

This article felt like long-form Twitter. A bunch of words that go nowhere.

At a high level, all that would have to happen is a person gives GPT, or something like it, access to a social media page and tells it to post to it with the objective of getting t…

If they aren't already, AIs will be posting content on social media apps. These apps measure the amount of attention you pay to each thing presented to you. If it's more than a pic…

Genuine question, are you seeing non-coders using it to do any useful coding? As a developer, I find that it is wrong more often than it is right and were it not for my domain know…

One of my concerns is what happens when machines start making their own money. This could be possible with cryptocurrencies (another reason to loathe them.) Machines can do things …

We don't say it because we don't care. Machines moving faster than a human runner have not posed a threat to any industry or jobs in our lifetime. It's a silly comparison. I bet yo…

This is not a sensible comparison. A mass-produced machine-made suit wasn't made using your exact measurements. If a human sat at a sewing machine on a factory production floor ver…

Not many get paid to do it, and those that do are paid because it's entertainment, people like watching them play. Nobody is paying to watch developers code.

I think this may be the case, the AI will figure out what the legacy code does and then completely re-writes it using whatever modern standards and ability to host it all in the cl…

This was my thought exactly. Scrolling through this post seems like I'm on Reddit. It was a paper from Nature so worthy of conversation, but the one-liners are unnecessary and don'…

I have lordosis, and admittedly, I should be seeing a PT because the curve is getting worse. But when I'm in pain, I go for an intense bicycle ride. Something about the blood flow …

If you are working in the same niche, you will likely know the tricks of the trade. You usually have an idea of what your peers are working on and it's often a race to see who gets…

I've been worried in recent years about getting a big gut from diaphragmatic breathing. My BMI is low but when I breath that way (and when it feels best) my belly can really stick …

Unfortunately that information isn't available due to the lack of testing.

This thread is devolving and should be removed.

I remember landlines sounding quite different from the author. To me they sound much better than cell phones. It sounds as if the other person is actually on the other end of the l…

I've always said, give someone the psychedelics and a safe place to be, but let them be on their own. Lots of travelling to do, no need to stay tethered to this realm by having to …

I have a similar LG 27UD68. The game changer for me was taking off the anti glare coating. It's amazing the relief from eye strain that I got once it came off.

At my university there are a number of math requirements for the CS degree. A couple calculus courses, a couple linear algebra courses and a discrete math course. Each of them is t…

There is a huge amount of ignorance in this thread right now. More people need to read the papers that have been out for 10 years on the issue of conversion of ranitidine to NDMA i…

This is not correct. Studies have clearly shown that if you give someone a moderate dose of ranitidine, the NDMA levels in their urine skyrocket. upwards of 400 times higher if I r…

I believe most good psychologists have the ability to treat incels. It comes down to the incel wanting it and having access to it. Unfortunately our society doesn't offer adequate …

Celibacy is just one of their many problems. And it's really more a consequence of their other problems, mainly emotional immaturity and anti-social behavior. Also I don't think se…
