Yes, I did Physics, Geometry infront of the committee to explain my answer. Language course was written under a dictation, one mistake would cost you a point out of 5. So you had t…

That's how my school did it even for high school courses. End of the year exams were infront of the committee. Same thing, you pull a ticket and have few minutes to prepare the ans…

I'm going to get some push back on this but this is my steak night... I buy fillet and throw it in the over for 10 minutes or so, then I cut it up and thrown on the pan with regula…

The only "GTO" that I found beneficial was 'optimal play' from Mathematics of Poker. You don't have to read formulas and math because their summary section gives a pretty good over…

I'm a hobbyist, what am I missing? LLM gave me a new spark. I never managed to get a SE job so some weekends I tinker around with LLM for small personal projects and it helps me le…

Not a pro player but I do well enough recreationally in local clubs when I play. GTO in my experience is really not a threat. Most players dont play GTO and against bad players GTO…

That could be me, I don't think I have ADHD but I might have some tendencies that were developed after I moved to the US in my teens. The culture was different, fast moving, and ve…

It has been helpful to me and many others. Some people do develop a habit. There are multiple subs on Reddit that are pro and con kratom. Personally, its all mental. I've used Krat…

I'm not the other guy but slow down there sparky. You can OD on water too. There are addicts and then there are people that use it responsibly for pain, sleep, anxiety, etc. 7-oh i…

Kratom has been beneficial for me. Extracts can go but the leaf should stay.

Sounds like we watched the same Lex interview on Rome...

I just kinda skimmed through it, so it detects drones in sky? Am I understanding this correctly? That might have some defense application considering what's going on in Eastern Eur…

I've never had that issue with Grok. Latest studies I've seen put him in a very neutral zone. Left/Center/Right politics were all about the same percentages in his replies. Gemini …

Still reading the article but it reminds me that I need to watch Metropolis now, I think it came out in 1928 or so.

It certainly does work. It worked remarkably well. It changed the whole public perception of war in 1917-1918. If you can find it, read "How We Advertised America" by George Creel.…

Well, you're right about Bernays getting too much credit. It's just at the same time he was a major player as well. After re-reading your comment, I think we are on the same page, …

Yes and no. Bernays was one of the players during WWI propaganda, specifically he was part of Committee on Public Information. If I remember correctly, Lippmann had in mind that pa…

That's pretty impressive, the win rate and amount of hands played. It's certainly not a fluke. At the same time, these 4 pros, I've never heard of them. This AI and organizers shou…

That would be interesting to read about this journey. I am pretty much starting my first steps in the same direction, don't know where I'll be but I don't have any other plans or c…

"Write in C" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S1fISh-pag

I think that it could be said that C is in fact simple but not easy.

Is there a source for this? I don't doubt you but I'd love to read more about this. That is an interesting fact.

It is a work of fiction but it's fairly dense. One of my philosophy classes used the first Matrix to explore some philosophical themes. It's been a while for concrete examples, one…

One time I was craving some juice or smoothie, so at the gas station I took one of those 'Naked' brands and glanced on the label, it had some ridiculous amount of carbs and sugar i…

> Schools force you to waste some of the most productive years learning about pretty useless things and are super inefficient at that too. I don't know if this is the part of the p…
