Studies with promising early results like these, such as the tooth-regeneration study that is expected to complete its Phase I trial soon, really give me hope for being able to grow old while staying healthy. It does…
After playing the game for 10+ hours and dropping it out of sheer frustration, I came to the conclusion that I must have been playing a vastly different game than the people praising it. The first hour was great. I was…
While I still mainly use Google to search for terms online, I am increasingly using the free version of Perplexity for more advanced topics or general questions. Perplexity is an LLM like Claude and ChatGPT, but instead…
I personally believe the reason for non-western fiction gaining so much mainstream traction is quite simple: it provides a perspective almost entirely seperated from the reality most people face. Even simple scenarios,…
