So any salad that contains chopped cabbage/broccoli and eaten daily should do the trick?

There are weaker formal systems like Presburger arithmetic (peano without multiplication) and Skolem arithmetic (peano without addition) that have been proven to be complete and co…

While willpower may work for some people, what actually works for me (and i believe the majority of people) is self-deception or distraction. To sleep, use white noise/rhythmic mus…

Rather than asserting that current LLMs are at their tail end, or that AI isnt good enough, it is much more instructive to check what are the bottlenecks or constraints to further …

one (quite convincing) theory is that anything that can be achieved by a carbon-based neural network (eg. human brain) can also be achieved by a silicon-based neural network. The h…

How can a declining population selling mostly commoditized goods support ever increasing property prices, that too when property is already overleveraged!! This crash was always on…

I get the feeling the article preaches to the choir. The serious sources have always portrayed NIF's work as technical achievements. But they are read mostly by scientist and engin…

All what you said may be true, but ASML would still be foolish to trust and export to China, given that the latter is hell bent on copying and reverse engg its products, even if un…

Lets just say semiconductor manufacturing is the best example of regional competencies and global trade. Globalization has failed on many fronts and resulted in race to the bottom …

No,even though the 10 pikachu fans assess independently, their estimations will be correlated. As you may already know the overall estimate wont be 100%, rather about 65%. The form…

Alright lets do some calculations. Feel free to dissect the assumptions. K event = Kim says Material L is RTSC D event = DFT says L is RTSC S event = L is actually RTSC we have ass…

You are right, but probability estimation of possibly novel phenomena is an ill posed problem. So either you do not model it at all, or come up with some mental model of what proba…

- Nothing against Russian researchers, but apart from Iris who is somewhat anonymous and doesnt have the required equipment to create good samples, I havent seen anyone from there …

There are 2 things in favor of the Korean team - Hyun-Tak Kim is unlikely to ruin his career and legacy for something careless and frivolous. But stranger things have happened, so …
