People are more lenient on farming because humans need agriculture to survive. Obviously not all agriculture is necessary for survival, but it's something that in some way provides…

Posting a claude chat is not actually helpful. The chat doesnt't even cite any sources. I think this post is a decent summary, the answer is a soft maybe: https://www.health.harvar…

In my experience with health data, the dates are usually offset by a random but constant amount for each person (e.g. id 12345 will have all their dates shifted by +5 weeks) to avo…

Not really, you still have to validate the structures it estimates, which minimises any speed gains. It can help a little bit in the early stages of drug design, but even if it was…

I mean the difference is that you just take one in the morning? Which makes adherence easier, makes sure that the delay is constant rather than variable, and reduces abuse liabilit…

I'm pretty sure this take is incorrect on multiple accounts. Trans demographics tend to skew towards trans women by about a third, not trans men - at least in all the research I've…

Hilariously, this is the second Sam that wants to collect everyones iris's for nefarious purposes

Why would ChatGPT replace google search when search also has AI? At best they'd steal some of Google's market share, which I'd imagine would decline with embedded ads.

Could you share a guide for how you did this? I've got a TCL TV, and it's constantly frustrating how it shows laggy ads.

Edibles wouldn't have enough sugar to singularly cause diabetes.

There was a study where they tested the effects of ADHD meds on test performance and perceived performance. It found that stimulants increased perceived performance for everyone, b…

In countries with subsidised health care there's still an incentive to solve these problems, since the solution will lower healthcare costs.

How is footage that musk himself reposted misinformation?

I don't think it's any worse than any other form of media (like reading comments on hacker news instead of reading the article)

Calling trans men "distraught girls" is just pure transphobia.

Proof: https://www.accc.gov.au/by-industry/digital-platforms-and-se... It's called the news media bargaining code. Technically speaking, the law isn't enforced since Google/Meta ch…

Because they won't be forced to provide identification directly, they'll be forced to provide an age verification token that's linked to government identification. It's the same en…

Well to be fair, big pharma doesn't release preclinical results the same way that academia does. There might be no published work to support the hypothesis, but that doesn't mean t…

They absolutely can be patented, look at what happened with esketamine. If these molecules work, pharma will just change them slightly (or reformulate) and sell them at a premium.

I don't think crypto wpuld help in this instance, they'd still have to turn it into fiat to do anything with it.

I'd argue that it's harder to quit compulsive eating than it is to quit compulsive smoking. You can't go cold turkey on food

Because they still have a developed (if atrophying) visual cortex to generate the visual hallucinations.

Using the term "hooked" to describe using a prescribed drug for a chronic condition is pretty moralistic. Are cystic fibrosis patients hooked on Trikafta? Are people with high bloo…

Do you mean 50 years without maintenance? I would be shocked if major bridges weren't designed to last indefinitely.

I feel like context is far more important than the actual answer. If you want to develop your skills, it's just as important to be aware of the things that aren't the answer, rathe…
