    Last year around the same time I figured that most of the content we read on social networks could be generated by advanced langage models. I then proceeded to research these model…

    The way they hijacked the documents folder to sync with a limited space onedrive in a non revertable manner is despicable. The fact that we get only 5Gbs for an OS at this price is…

    It's just that it's painfully obvious to think this way when your brain is built the right way. Then it's just a matter of having the right environment to unleash your work. Most p…

    Here's what works for me : - An SSRI treatment, because generalized anxiety doesn't usually go away on its own. - Heavy schedule compartimentalization. - At least a moderate level …

    What a poorly written article. This reads like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic: No point, no argument, no conclusion.

    Spaced repetition works great for me. Especially because it binds well with a pragmatic approach of professional learning : if I encounter a problem multiple times it is worth it t…

    Constraining the electrons apart would require a very serious insulator. The muscle would just arc between its two ends. To make it work you have to distribute electrical potential…

    Their progress is astonishing. I've been following it for a few years and their research is barely starting to reach the mainstream media. He will get a Nobel for sure. These are w…

    I don't see any ads with ublock on my desktop and mobile browser. I believe the ads I don't see don't influence me. Can you believe that?
