FirstTimePostin··on Deep Learning Is Not So Mysterious or Different
It's a higher quality article than half the submissions to NeuroIPS and the rest of the AI/ML conferences, because it has potential to remain relevant next year, and because of its high didactic content. I wouldn't classify it as a "hot take".
FirstTimePostin··on Ask HN: Am I the only one who gets temple pain during prolonged calls?
In that respect I would more readily believe that maybe the loudness of the call is causing my inner ear some pain. But it really does not feel like that.

I am trying to understand why I only get irritated by phone calls and (possibly) microwave ovens, when we are constantly swimming in microwave level radiation. Do phone calls use more energy or something? Can it be related to the transmitted energy? I know most microwaves I used are old so I would not be surprised that they leak a bit from their shielding.

As I said, I don't believe in the whole brain cancer thing, because if there was merit to it, there should be more conclusive evidence by now. The symptoms would also not be so abrupt. If this is something it must be the heating of my brain/ear/head tissue irritating me somehow. I almost never used the speaker phone, but I will experiment with that.

All older phone manuals used to have warning about radiation, I believe, but this was just a precaution.

It is also worth mentioning that I get irritated and nauseous very easily. Being too long in the sun causes my ears to ache, for example, also giving me head aches.
