> That applies to some skeptics, though Totally! Arguments like yours often get lost in the noise of the less interesting / nuanced arguments unfortunately :(

A bit confusing that ` Pi` developed two meanings: - ` Pi` as a brand/line of SBCs, with Raspberry Pi being the original - ` Pi` as a software package targeting Raspberry Pis or SB…

I read it as "After finishing the course, I DM'd the hiring manager with a list of the stuff I did for the course."

Can I ask what your MUD is called?

> I would take a small dose at like 7am, and I still would have trouble getting to sleep at night Was this an extended release verson like Vyvanse? I had an absolutely terrible tim…

> Why do you expect pseudoephedrine to be less nasty on the cardiovascular system than caffeine? I'm not advocating for substituting pseudoephedrine for caffeine, but rather using …

And a hypothetical banning that isn't totally unreasonable if you look at it objectively. What other highly addictive cardiotoxic stimulants should we allow to be sold over-the-cou…

Consuming that much caffeine is terrible for your heart. If you find yourself consuming a lot of caffeine regularly, you would probably be much better served by Adderall. You can g…

> even what can be done. I think this could be solved with bridge bots to make your MUD multiplatform. You could have a dedicated web app, an IRC bridge, a Discord bridge, etc. Dis…

Routing tasks to models by complexity like a job for a LLM. I'm sure there are degenerate cases, but I'd bet a relatively small model could do the job.

That's actually an important part of the theory of Roko's Basilisk. The danger of being tortured only applies to those who are aware of it. Supposedly, the incentive to torture you…

> Once you're around 80 it'll wake up anyone Source? I haven't been able to find info on this. I get resuls on nocturnal tachycardia and such. Nothing on elevating a sleeping perso…

With respect to this idea, I'm not particularly interested in either of those goals. More the general longevity and health improvements that come with regular exercise irrespective…

Well, it's causing muscle contractions. At high enough intensity, it should raise your heart rate. It's just a matter of what intensity level is tolerable during sleep (and the eff…

I'd love to find out if electrical muscle stimulation while sleeping could effectively provide exercise without causing excessive sleep disruption. Could be a zero-effort supplemen…

Interesting, I've got a Sony Google TV and it's been the best smart TV experience I've had in a long time. Prior to that was Samsung TVs and a Roku TV (forget which manufacturer) a…

Interesting, thanks for the info! Another question: how does this approach compare to trying to repair the pathogenic variants in the cancer? I asked here about that approach recen…

> Indeed, there's no "be a better/stronger cancer and spread more effectively to more hosts" the way there is with bacteria or a virus. The rare exception: https://en.wikipedia.org…

Depending on how the LNPs are designed, would resistance also potentially cripple the cancer cells? Like, it stops surfacing some cholesterol receptor because the drug is being del…
