chistev··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
The human body can't survive 80 active years without maintainance. They take drugs, they see the doctor, etc.

chistev··on Ask HN: What is the most career altering course or book you have gone through?
I always see that book Sapiens recommended, but it has been heavily criticized by the scientific community as having lots of inaccuracies, which has restrained me from reading it.

Carl Sagan has a better acclaimed book on the topic.

chistev··on How come AI-related posts get so many points on HN?
Other things are discussed here too besides AI. Not all AI posts gather so many votes.

Look at the front page now, how many submissions are about AI, tell me?

I particularly enjoyed this discussion he had with Sam Harris (one of my favorite people to hear talk [1]) about morality - https://youtu.be/7GFAjqIke7s?si=QUeMFX7Hzk26Jd3c

chistev··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Twitter/X?
I received this email yesterday -

"Hello *, Your account, *, was detected by our systems and automatically suspended for violating the X Rules. Specifically, for: Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors. You may not use our services to engage in inauthentic activity that undermines the integrity of X. Note that if you attempt to evade a suspension by creating new accounts, we will suspend your new accounts. If you wish to appeal this suspension, please contact our support team. If you have an active X Premium subscription, it will not be automatically canceled by X. To cancel your X Premium subscription, follow these instructions. "

The crazy thing is I hadn't been online on Twitter for almost a month [1]. I hadn't logged in at all. So how could I have broken any rules?

Was it just a way to get me to log back in? Well, I logged in after getting the email to appeal the suspension and they told me to wait for feedback.

If I lose my Twitter account I won't lose any sleep over it.

chistev··on "The Question of Abortion: A Search for Answers" by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan
Please read the book if you have the time!
chistev··on "The Question of Abortion: A Search for Answers" by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan
This submission is likely to get flagged since the topic of abortion is understandably inflammatory. But I thought it's a good essay to share.

I'm going to copy a previous comment I made two hours ago on a different submission and say that If you enjoyed reading this, I suggest you read the book "Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium" by Carl Sagan. It was the last book he wrote before he died in 1996. The book contains a collection of essays by Carl Sagan on various topics, and it includes the essay submitted above.

Thank you.
