In that case a better answer would be "I'm fairly certain it does satisfy it, but in any case I asked Claude to double check for any issues and it didn't find any unsatisfied requi…

I try to not use AI to write text that's meant to be read by other people. I might use AI to understand and research beforehand, but the writing is mine. The most important reason …

I don't think you need to tear open busy streets to install fiber. In my area we got fiber (up to 10G now) and they didn't open any trench.

I am not sure how much do I trust an article about Madrid's metro that doesn't mention the fact that one of those expansions (Line 7, in San Fernando de Henares) was done with poli…

Cursor has BYOK support too. I think it also has Bedrock support.

I don’t think it’s false, much less obviously false. On one hand I have my personal experience about it, on the other you can see there’s only a small range in the “I want a conver…

The people likely to talk to strangers unprompted are also likely to ignore those kind of messages. Anything that can lead to further conversation can be used (like "oh, what's wor…

I think this mindset is maybe too close to being just "people that don't think like I do are just crazy" and dismissive of people's actual concerns.

Several options on how to burn that amount of money without being specifically looking to tokenmaxx - Agents that spawn other agents - Telling agents to go look at the entire codeb…

I explored quite a bit because I was curious to see how it was possible that sauna had these great effects and why no one used it outside of Finland. But to this point I haven’t se…

> Bias is different from precision. If both conditions have the same bias, their difference is still unbiased. Not really, and I wouldn’t assume that when the condition under study…

The first study shows a 0.37 hazard ratio for frequent sauna use. That’s better than a lot of the HRs reported for physical activity. It’s even better than not smoking. It just doe…

> of estimate of mean But you can't really assume that the estimate of the mean represents the real value. For example, if the sensor is equally likely to show 80 or 81 BPM when th…

It does, specially if the error bars from multiple measurements show higher precision than what would be expected.

Much of that body of evidence relies on self-reported and self-assigned sauna usage rather than actual randomized trials, and also the papers show massive risk reductions that do n…

Unless the effect they're measuring is that the wearable measures differently in sauna days.

It’s not only that confounder but also the fact that the studies show massive risk reductions that are really surprising. Considering how much finns apparently go to the sauna comp…

There are two separate issues there. One, you feeling good about going to the sauna. If you feel good, that’s nice. But it’s your personal feeling from it. I personally did not hav…

That might have an effect, but these studies are probably mostly selecting for people who can tolerate a hostile environment for longer, which are usually healthier. I find it unli…

> Hammam's temperatures are around 40-50 degrees Celsius and humidity is close to 100%. Which makes it absolutely unbearable. By the way, that combination of temperature + humidity…

I doubt they would replicate it or any of the magical effects of saunas. Lots of the sauna studies suffer from the same issue where people self-report sauna usage rather than being…
