It is written in the New Testament scriptures and the book of Revelation. The author wrote, “It's like tech is making each one of us our own little village with a computer priest.”…

Something doesn’t have to be necessarily true for it to have a high probability of being true.

Penrose would say that logicians can’t compute consciousness, so no wonder they don’t agree with his argument; computers (logicians) literally can’t! That’s Penrose’s very argument…

Love how people won’t even admit this fact into the conversation. Thank you, sincerely, for bringing this up.

This seems to be an anti-ivermectin narrative. Obviously, taking doses meant for horses is foolish. But people are conflating horse dosage ivermectin with human dosage. An anti hor…

Do we have numbers for ivermectin sales?

The article has the number of Ivermectin prescriptions in the last month, but not the number of people seeking emergency care due to Ivermectin. “Clogged up” isn’t quantifiable. Le…

Individuals can’t fix this problem. That people don’t understand this yet is not a good sign

Also, naming things is hard. If the things you are naming are specific concepts, and the conclusions reachable by reasoning about such concepts are highly sensitive; that is highly…

I’m not opposed to naming things after people. That said, I often suspect that the naming conventions and rituals of mathematicians (and sometimes physicists) serve as gatekeeping …

Misleading headline.

On a related note, I recently tried floor sleeping. I started on a carpet, which was nice. Then we moved to a place with hardwood floors. Painful. So I bought a Japanese futon. I d…

A wonderful and amusing anecdote that shows how both types differ. This comes from "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers," a book about the mathematician Paul Erdős.

Also, perhaps I’m mistaken, but the majority of Epic Games is owned by Tim Sweeney. Meanwhile, TikTok majority is owned by ByteDance, which I don’t think we can confidently believe…

There are about 5 times as many TikTok users as Fortnite players. I suppose that is a part of the calculation as well.
