Or any love poetry by Lorca, Neruda, Benedetti. The idea that Spanish has to resort to "corazon" and "amor" because it... has fewer words than other languages?? People believe some really crazy stuff.
You are mixing numbers that don't go together. OED (171k) is comparable in content to RAE + RAE Americanisms (93k + 70k = 163k) because OED is pan dialect. RAE core dictionary by itself is not the same type of coverage…
The only thing you're right about here is that Spanish is "nearly phonetic" by which you mean that the writing system is orthographically transparent and very standardized. That's true and a huge benefit for learners.…
No, it's not though. That's true for antibody tests commonly used for individuals because it's cheap. The window period for nucleic acid testing that is used for blood supply is very short. This test is similar to…
There remain undecidable problems even with finite memory/state space. Linear bounded automata (LBA) the halting problem is decidable. But many properties of LBA are undecidable: Emptiness: Does an LBA reject all…
The bigger worry isn't really false negatives, modern PCR based testing is incredibly good. There is always risk but it's frankly extremely low. The bigger issue is that blood is pooled before testing to make that…
The very first thing I did when coming to this thread was search for if someone had already mentioned "one book theory". My favorite episodes of IBCK are mostly the self-help trash.
Mass produced EVs and reusable rockets are already decade old accomplishments. His track record this last decade of accomplishing things he proposes is noticeably much worse. Neuralink is just another medical device…
BoJack Horseman is maybe my favorite show of all time. But that did start in 2014 and seems like a relic of an older Netflix that would commit to something for 6 seasons.
I actually don't think your response is the exact opposite, but you touch on some of the skeptic stuff, so I'll respond to here: First of all, I agree with your points that you should consider the individual. My long…
Not longevity in the general sense, but in the cardiac disease and mortality sense, yes, it's pretty firmly established. It's also an area that attracts a lot of quackery, is somewhat hard to study (for the normal…
April snowfall is also typical. With current forecasts, we will be far short of normal April snowfall as well.
Where I'm at in the Sierra, March is typically very close to as snowy as Dec/Jan/Feb and the snowpack is still increasing, not decreasing. Late March is typically the peak depth. March avg snowfall is 62", this year we…
They are nowhere near the world's biggest ISP by any metrics, what are you talking about?
European cheese producers have their own costly methods of managing raw milk cheese safety. They have much more surveillance of the entire process, like rapid testing of milk for STEC (the microbe involved in this…
The earliest neural network work on perceptrons was done in an applied contract lab for the US Navy, it was not done in an academic setting. Backpropagation has been reinvented multiple times, because it is a basic…
It's currently down to about where it was on Feb 23, everybody panic.
Most Tahoe buildings are not A-frames, 500-800" snow years are big years, not average, and also those are resort numbers, not towns where more houses are. Modern buildings in Tahoe are engineered to hold very high snow…
Well, that's exactly the problem with focusing too hard on one macro nutrient recommendation out of context of other balanced diet recommendations. Adding lean meat, dairy, eggs to protein poor diets is good, I love all…
Yes, but the standards aren't based on "the best protein to absorb", they are based on whole diet consumption. Studies like the one I linked to are where the recommendations come from. It is a misunderstanding to read a…
When I did strength sports and would eat ~180g protein a day (which for me was 1.8g/100kg), I ate a lot less meat than you would think, I was carefully tracking all my food for a while and you have to count the whole…
It's sort of an RNN, but it's also basically a transformer with shared layer weights. Each step is equivalent to one transformer layer, the computation for n steps is the same as the computation for a transformer with n…
