While not exactly the same, I got my wife a framed print of the stars over our wedding day as an anniversary gift a few years after we were married. It may be a little niche, but I think there is a market for that kind of thing.

I was surprised to see that the newt doesn't repair tendons with the same material. It uses a 'tendon-like collagenous tissue'.

Do they make all repairs with an analogous tissue or only select ones?

My friend and I were recruited for a counterintelligence spot that paid a $35,000 re-enlistment bonus at the time. I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger and stay in.

My friend stayed for another two enlistments before getting out. His stories convinced me I made the right decision. He now has a very lucrative related job in the private sector while I shifted gears entirely.

About a year of my enlistment in the Marine Corps was under a platoon sergeant who was one of the worst people I have ever met. Petty, cruel, and genuinely sadistic. He had authority over virtually every aspect of our lives, to include things like random barracks inspections in the middle of the night (that was definitely not the worst of it). It was a nightmare.

It was a defining period and I got out vowing to never put myself in a position where someone had that much control over my life again.

Yeah, that's completely unethical and I'm very glad to see it changed. Hopefully other states will follow suit.

Is there a clear point of departure when AI can no longer handle mathematical reasoning?

Also a few forgotten gems I am going to have to reread now.

The new thing is the tools that enable massive groups to mob together and fulfill their worst impulses. Most institutions have not developed a robust immune system for this novel disease.

Deincentivising an endless stream of trash publications will both cut down on the BS and narrow the field of research one might try to reproduce.

I don't have strong feelings about the optimal number of papers that should be published, but my sense is that we are running an order of magnitude above that number.

Related, the same thing is different to different people, and can even be different to the same person at different times.

Also related, everything is more than one thing depending on the context in which it is evaluated.

This is very cool, I did not realize how common they are.

A car full of teenagers blew past down the cross street with their headlights off at a very high rate of speed, presumably for the adrenaline rush. If I hadn't stopped they would have creamed me on the driver's side.

I'll never forget the look on the face of the girl in the back seat. Sheer terror at the realization that we all nearly died.

Takeaways:

1. The math is very “simple”

2. In fact, it’s so simple that this method shouldn’t really work

3. The fact it does says something very fundamental about the universe"

Anyone have a good idea if this will actually provide government actors the ability to shut off your car remotely?

Because that seems bad in a very nonpartisan way.

I presume they are sober, though.

He is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, so I will hold off on calling him a quack, but definitely approaching this with a healthy amount of skepticism.

It is possibly related to the fact that my own bad grammar often resulted in a different sort of physical stress...

Very cool. I did not check to see if the authors of this paper are affiialted, but reserchers contributing to data at the NeMO Archive (https://nemoarchive.org/) have recently discovered over 3000 different types of cells in the brain, most of which are in the brain stem. This has added a whole new layer of complexity to explore.

Exciting times to be involved in neuroscience!

"Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise."

Everyone I know (mostly US midwest) who has one can't say enough good things about them. The main barrier to more widespread use seems to be upfront costs for a a new installation, not concern for efficacy.

I regularly hear it is the AMA that is creating an artificial shortage, but this seems to indicate that the logjam is at the level of residency funding.

Does anyone have a good insight or data about this?

I also appreciate this sentiment, having expressed something similar to some overly optimistic friends:

“Mars is nowhere near being a plan B home for humanity anytime soon. Consider a worst case climate scenario … (5 terrifying sentences outlining climate catastrophes, resource wars, and billions of climate refugees)… That planet? Eden compared to Mars or the Moon.”
