Listen to this guy. He's serious bismuth

Not in any way, no. Our brains can't predict what we will be interested in or good at.

But we do have predispositions. If you are able to focus intently on things, or are creative, or are more athletic, which are reflected in neuronal connectivity, you might be more interested in more detail-oriented or creative or athletic hobbies.

They'll get the picture in the fine letter so make sure you give them your best one-finger salute

You really love posting this comment in every post about steam, don't you?

Yep, the lockdown waves probably weren't ideal for preventing viral spread, but we now know they were at least better than doing nothing.

Hopefully we learn for next time

As always, it's better to recommend more strict restrictions when you don't know if they're effective and there's an impact on public health. Hindsight is 20/20

Neat, I can make some nice plastic cutlery with that filament!

Speaking of water... How often do you actually see a drop of water shaped like a drop? Almost never

I went looking for old forums I used to frequent, and while the site itself is on the internet archive most of the conversations are lost. Only one or two snapshots a year

I wish I was a better piano player

I'm a competent musician in many instruments but I could never get the hang of using my left hand for accompaniment

Predictive text also can vectorize words, but the number of vectors per word are much, much simpler.

If you want to appear more mature, start capitalizing your sentences and using less exclamation points. Some are fine, but never more than one to a sentence.

I'm not. I'm old, and have been following this conflict for decades. Hamas very often targets innocent Israelis in their attacks, and hides behind innocent Palestinians to make it difficult for Israel to target them. You can argue about whether it is justifiable or not that they do this, but there are many, many sources that they do.

The lady wielding the wheat stalk has three hands

There were many innocent civilians living in Nazi Germany, and a lot of them died in the interest of stopping them.

We try to minimize innocent deaths in war, but when the group you are fighting against uses hospitals as military locations and innocent people as human shields, it becomes difficult to do so

Likely a lot of changes will just be expanding the end game. Start playing now!

Very cool! Does this use LLMs at all, or is it more traditional programming?

From someone with a science background: There are a lot of expenses with that type of clinical trial.

In particular, if you're going to assign someone to a group that is known to be unhealthy (brushing once a month) you need to pay for any dental or medical problems that arise from them not brushing.

...what?

Science direct just hosts articles from other journals. Its a part of Elsevier
