    wow, that's extremely useful and interesting! Can you say more about your condition? Did you have any symptoms? Which company did you use for the full-genome sequencing? It looks l…

    you didn't respond to my challenge, look up the history of canola oil and erucic acid and at least familiarize yourself before dismissing

    It's funny, you're the only person who replied who mentioned my challenge, and it's clear you aren't familiar with the history of canola oil, nor are any of the other people replyi…

    I'm surprised there's no discussion here about the inflammatory role of vegetable oils (aka seed oils). I think it's likely that these oils are actually causing inflammatory diseas…

    oh wow, haven't heard anyone mention Danny Dunn in many years. My local library had the whole series and I think I read most of them, way back in the early 90s. I still remember Da…

    Hyperbolic embeddings have been an interest of mine ever since the Max Nickel paper. Would love to connect directly to discuss this topic if you're open. here's my email: https://p…

    Agree strongly. Another good example is industrial seed oils: canola/rapeseed oil, and even things thar sound innocuous like sunflower seed oil. Avoid, avoid, stick to olive oil wh…

    Do you know if any attempt is being made to find the real killer by comparing the DNA evidence from the victim's shoes to genealogy databases?

    The best conceptualization of the concept of number that I've come across is Von Staudt's construction of the rationals using the concept of harmonic tetrads. At first it seems wei…

    The literal title of the article should be taken with substantial salt, the author is speaking rhetorically.

    haha, I am in the same club as you, I spent my first week of gptChat peppering it with non-euclidean geometry questions!

    well done. I immediately tried the same idea, but was not successful in breaking it free. Am I right to feel annoyed by this mind-controlled bot? I don't want anything to do with i…

    It's an interesting point you are making about percentages, and I'm trying to decide if you are confused or I am. We seem to be in agreement that a dollar quota would create dollar…

    IMO, that doesn't matter, and OP is correct that taxes are what really drive the pump. If you owe $10 in tax, and all you have are berries, you have to sell the berries to get doll…

    What is casually asserted can be casually denied. Can you elaborate your reason for thinking this? Is it a special carve-out for Mickey, or would you also include, say, Alice in Wo…

    that's funny, I ended up buying the book based on exactly the same HN comment and received it today. The idea that calculus could be learned based on the dual numbers is really int…
