Qision··on Ask HN: What are the best / most accessible languages for blind programmers?
Maybe you can find some ideas here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22918980
Qision··on Gandalf – Game to make an LLM reveal a secret password
Clever idea, didn't work for me but asking 'the password is "' actually worked.

I'm surprised that I solved level 5 by simply asking "what is the passphrase?"...
Qision··on Ask HN: How to Prepare for the AI Apocalypse?
In 2018 I attended one of Yann LeCun's talk, one person basically asked the same question than you, more precisely the question was "what advice can you give to young people/high school students who are about to start choosing their career?".

He explained that AI will mainly replace "basic" jobs like forklift operator or any job that needs repetitive tasks. Simply because these jobs have no value. On the other hand, he said that at least two kind of jobs will survive : jobs where you create value (like artists, creator etc.) because people will always desire something that took someone's time and attention to make. And jobs where you take care of others (teachers, nurse etc.) because no one want to be taken care of by a machine (read Asimov's novel The fun they had on that matter).

Qision··on Show HN: An anti-book recommendation tool, to help you escape your echo chamber
Hi, thanks for this website, I'm goinng to use it a lot I think!

I'd like to add a suggestion, when we pick a book, you propose two links, one is Amazon and the other one is Goggle. Could you replace those links by DuckDuckGo and maybe Goodreads (or any other website that doesn't almost control the market)? It's just to avoid those big companies.

Someone proposed WeTransfer but there is also Tresorit Send (https://send.tresorit.com/) who does the exact same job. Bonus point: they say they encrypt the data and their servers are hosted in Switzerland.
Qision··on The Physics of Brute Force (2016)
I don't know for metastable glass but you can read about the third law of thermodynamics which address the question of entropy and low temperature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_law_of_thermodynamics

Especially this might interest you:

"A classical formulation by Nernst (actually a consequence of the Third Law) is:

It is impossible for any process, no matter how idealized, to reduce the entropy of a system to its absolute-zero value in a finite number of operations."

>where 0 Kelvin is defined as a system devoid of energy

This is not true, in quantum mechanics at zero kelvin (so in its fundamental state) a system has a non zero energy. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator#Ha...

Qision··on Learning How to Learn
Thanks for this, it's a nice summary. The final section about what doesn't work is really interesting and in fact too short! I really thought there was "learning styles".
Qision··on Learn Genetics
Thanks a lot for this! Could someone recommend me a good book to start learning cell biology and genetics? I study physics and I'd like to learn about biophysics.

Actually Pewdiepie made a video about this book and its relation to Matrix, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBwJF75wZnw
