Suspiciously similar to a certain someone who failed an art admission and went on to start off a war that killed around 70-80 million people? History does repeat itself.

I found your example pretty amazing and tried to replicate the same: Me: Imagine a set of 3 events (A, B and C) ordered with unique timestamps each. Event A is the first of all events to happen. Event…

Yep, it has recommendations for every single subject!

So I asked this same question to ChatGPT, here's its response. This thing really does have the potential to be a good recommendation tool for books/resources. "Here are a few books that…

Arthur Conan Doyle 's Sherlock Holmes is also guilty of an unusual kind of cleverness. I remember reading this one story (whose name I forgot) where Sherlock essentially concludes that a person h…

Too bad the poet wasn't well versed in Zoology it seems.

There's a famous poem written by a Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota: O Lord, Please maketh me Sheep. It's too heavy to translate entirely but a succinct summary is that to not have intellige…

Wait till you meet Bureaucrats and Managers etc.

Any reviews on Remarkable/Remarkable2 tablets?

I've always felt incredibly at how trivially we take our ability to coherently sync our minds by using symbols and utterances. Language is so fascinating and unfortunately, there will always be p…

I understand what you're saying but if you look at the effects alone (and not the means), it seems well justified. Their increased revenue allowed them to provide more and more (than LibGen at le…

Their free model was much more than enough for a regular user to use. I mean 10 books download per day? I'm not sure if I personally would have had to ever exceed that limit.

Not just that, many mathematical advances have been made well before physical applications ever caught up. For example, Calculus was invented in the late seventeenth century while Maxwell only used it…

A tangential question. What exactly does it feel to be like in Adderall? I'm intimately familiar with the 15-minutes venture into Reddit/HN etc so if I were to, say, take Adderall, just what…

As a grad student, it seems like a pipe-dream. I've come to acknowledge that maybe I'm not the multitasker I thought I was but sadly, with tens of deadlines to juggle around, no respite for …

But then, you can't really search youtube as efficiently as you can texts. That's the only downside for me, sieving through tens of videos just to find something that might be in the middle …

The major thing that people overlook in note-taking is "habit". Doesn't matter if you use Notepad, Obsidian or just plain pen&paper, the single most thing that matters is that you d…

Or, the way I do it: "do you want me to just listen, or do you want me to offer advice?"

> worker who Twitter asked to return rejected the offer because they felt 'used, and think they will be fired again soon.' I mean, can you really blame them?

The search for a unified theory of physics was not unique to Einstein and thousands after him have continued to look for it still. The only "failures", so to speak, of his would arguably be …

I wouldn't know much about Politicians but I'm certainly curious about Einstein's inclusion in your examples. Just how do you think that the discoverer of Photoelectricity, Brownian Mot…

The crux is the realization of the absurdity of (unrealistic) expectations. Those who figure it out early are able to find balance. But those who succumb to it generally end up hating themselves and t…

While I agree with most of what's written, I think that revenue from volatile stocks does come at others' expense and, thus, might not be an example the author should be including.

Or port-knocking.

India already did it. At that time I thought that it was outrageous but now I'm forced to reconsider.

Precisely. There is a (now outdated) model called Truine Brain model which proposes three layers of intelligence: the cortex which is responsible for higher thinking/planning/executive fun…
