> Almost all "evidence" that meat is harmful comes from the type of poorly conducted In the last 30 years there have been studies claiming that with very very good methodology, you…

Well, I just said that there's a huge amount of quality work done in those 800 studies. And what you suggested isn't at all uncommon in those quality work studies. Checkout https:/…

This is completely false. Scientific studies, controlled, on nutrition and health are going back at least 30 years, and in these 30 years you can find a huge amount of quality rese…

You could have easily added a BSD derivative license where one would be required to cite your paper or just your authorship if they've used the software. I've noticed this being a …

Nope, it's just bad software engineers. Africa has those pretty very battery friendly "smart phones" and they do everything that yours does, probably without the fancy games. I've …

I can't sound it out. I'm used to a phonemic orthography.

They programatically disallow that if you try.

“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.” “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” “L…

Yep, I can't believe that they made John Langford and the team leave from YR, the best guys at scalable machine learning.

theory is by definition a tested hypothesis

Stack is absolutely wonderful. stack setup command works wonders, building is effortless, moving to new library versions is as easy as ever and ever since I've started using it I'v…

For smaller towns this effect is negligible, and there are more smaller towns than big ones.

That doesn't seem to be a problem for the competition. Prices are the problem, and Uber is trying really hard to lower the prices and profit, that's why the algorithm IS most impor…

What this means is that Uber doesn't have an efficient enough algorithm for ride sharing and they currently are giving us a solution that will optimize the routes upfront. This wil…

And fortunately for us who cannot comprehend it C++17 brings in ranges.

Benchmark showing that the composition is exactly the same in a for loop as unrolled functions would be nice.

I love how Facebook HR rejected one of my acquaintances and then after he asked "Why?", the recruiter sent an email that was something along these lines: "Ok, may I schedule a tech…

Consciousness and understanding are human created symbolism. Talking about it seriously is a waste of time. I could be an empty shell imitating a human perfectly, all other humans …

Simulated annealing is simple. It's just the acceptance criterion of simulated annealing that you are using. You take the previous solution, and the current one, the difference of …

I learned compilers this way and yes, it's extremely hard. Things got so high-level that I forgot what the real problem was and kept wondering why the algorithm I wrote isn't worki…

Gwern is Satoshi.

Yeah, applying the algorithm can lead to sequences of transplant exchanges and save lives :D

There's a common reasoning mistake when it comes to reduction and conclusion of complexity class. You cannot say a problem is NP-complete if you reduced it to an NP-complete proble…

any way one can save the animation?
