CT scans irradiate you, MRIs don't really. Just don't have any metal in you.

It's interesting but a bit confusing. Merging timelines of titles, summaries, videos, TikTok posts, etc. means there's no reading rhythm when scrolling. I wish they'd make it visua…

Thanks for sharing.

I also fit that definition and wouldn't generalize. What I've observed is that the places that contain a lot of asocial people also have an above-average rate of sociopathic behavi…

But I did mean antisocial. Why do you think I can’t make the difference? I said that I believed there was some statistical overlap between the two.

In my limited experience, both asocial and antisocial would match. People who don’t care about other people can also find it easier to harm them.

I’m pretty sure that a lot of people would have antisocial behavior if it weren’t for the fear or inconvenience of consequences. You don’t have to match a DSM definition to be a ba…

If I may ask, did these traits make the relationship unviable, or did it end for other reasons? Do you think treatment (CBT, etc.) would have helped?

Not to start a “does anyone else feel like this??” thread, but I wonder how common these traits are in tech workers. It’s kind of a cliché that CS attracts antisocial nerds. If a s…

That makes a real difference for people making the median salary in western countries. Lots of people in finance, tech, etc. can obviously afford not to care but that's a minority.…

Aren't those separate and in different countries? And one of them is an acquisition. This case makes more sense.

What do you think the US wants? Attrition Russia’s army?

The US might have less incentive to support Taiwan though. They've never really committed to defending it.

Reverse-engineering the technique from the answer is a different skill from creating the answer though. The latter requires more creativity, the former is deduction.

> Edit, added: Harvest now, decrypt later applies to any encrypted data. There is nothing special about the quantum threat. This all only makes sense if we can predict what the act…

Thanks for that paper, but I find it weird: - There is no common definition of ADHD, just a list of two hundred unrelated claims made by papers that were found with a search engine…

Is there an actual consensus on what ADHD _is_, besides a catch-all for some common concentration and hyperactivity symptoms? People online assert a lot of things, such as "it's a …

How high a level are we talking? Is it common to have so few enzymes that a non-insane dose of coffee per day overwhelms the liver?

I've fasted for an entire day a few days at a time, it didn't really make me feel miserable.

The graph titled "Caffeine Accumulation With Long Half Life" is weird. Isn't that not how half-life works? A higher blood level should mean faster elimination, but here it acts lik…

Since we're exchanging anecdotal evidence, I also feel better with coffee. It lets me control how energized I am. Helped me avoid burnout and generally makes me feel a bit better n…

Doesn't that make the first few days of fasting miserable? Have you tried progressively reducing the dosage for a few weeks in preparation?

How much did you drink? I found the same effect when I didn't know how to use coffee and drank at any hour, multiple times a day, from the office's coffee machine, and couldn't mak…
